SUMMARY:Doomed to Succeed: The US-Israeli Relationship from Truman to Obama
DESCRIPTION:
 Presenter: Dennis Ross, William Davidson Distinguished 
 Fellow and counselor, Washington Institute 
 for Near East Policy \n
 \n
 Ambassador Ross 
 served two years as special assistant to President 
 Obama and National Security Council 
 senior director for the Central Region, and a 
 year as special advisor to Secretary of State 
 Hillary Rodham Clinton. For more than twelve 
 years, Ambassador Ross played a leading role 
 in shaping US involvement in the Middle East 
 peace process and dealing directly with the 
 parties in negotiations. Ambassador Dennis Ross 
 will discuss what the US should be doing 
 today in the Middle East given the lessons he 
 draws from the past. He wrote about these lessons 
 in his recent book titled "Doomed to Succeed: 
 The US-Israeli Relationship from Truman 
 to Obama" (2015). Ambassador Ross explores 
 the attitudes and approach of every president 
 toward Israel and the Middle East, outlining 
 the key assumptions, the unity or division of 
 the president's advisors, the key events in 
 each administration, and how the overall relationship 
 has evolved. Ross highlights the lessons 
 that should have been learned and were 
 not, and what the implications are for US policy 
 toward Israel and the region today. Co-sponsored 
 by MSU Hillel Jewish Student Center, 
 Asian Studies Center, James Madison College, 
 Department of History, and the College of Arts 
 and Letters.\n
