#CMS2022 What should you expect?

What should Israel look like as it reaches its first 100 years? How will our strong and vibrant Jewish state give expression to the Jewish ideas that have guided and sustained it for generations?

Panel

Panel:
Israel has a long-standing tradition of extending aid to alleviate hunger, disease and poverty, as well as in the wake of natural disasters and wars beyond its borders. Discuss the reasons for it, behind the scenes of such mission and the roots as to why Israel extends its help.

Panel With the developing of new social media platforms and with innumerable information storming above our heads, new digital strategies are becoming increasingly important to fight back against misinformation in the public sphere. One-sided and counterproductive resolutions seem to generate much airtime with enthusiastic anti-Israel promoters. What tactics can be used to produce the right information to the right people? Is this a never-ending battle?

Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, IDF Spokesperson for the Foreign media

The Knesset – the Israeli house of representatives – is the legislative authority and the sole governmental body with the power of legislation. It also has a constituent role in the creation of a constitution for the State of Israel. The Knesset also supervises the work of the government (the executive branch) and carries out several quasi-judicial roles. As an electorate body, the Knesset elects the President of the State and the State Comptroller. The Knesset has 120 members and is located in Jerusalem.
