Equally significant will be the impact of these elections on US and Israeli interests as well as those of the future Palestinian state. The purpose of this tour is to allow the American regional media access to the leadership within Israel, the PNA, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, spanning the entire political and economic spectra, as well as an entree into the academic, social and development fields. Because of the special nature of this tour, our participants will of course have full opportunity to file with their editors back home.
Space is very limited.
Please send us a letter of interest as soon as possible, along with a brief biographic. The tour starts from New York and will be in Israel 3 days before the first round of elections. After May 17, our participants will visit such Arab capitals as Amman, Damascus and Beirut, and be back in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in time for the likely second round of Israel's elections for Prime Minister. As the closing leg of this tour, we are inviting our participants to join us in Washington, DC for a press conference at the National Press Club. The Media Speaks to the Media about the Middle East.
