Israel at 75: Baker Institute Conference

Thursday, April 27, 2023

9:30 am - 4:00 pm

The year 2022 marked 75 years since the passage of United Nations Resolution 181, which called for the partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. On May 14, 1948, the Jewish People’s Council approved a proclamation establishing the new state of Israel — making May 14, 2023, the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding as a state among the nations of the world.

Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy presents Israel at 75, a conference where diplomats, subject-matter experts, policymakers and stakeholders will assemble to analyze the bi-national relationship between the United States and Israel, address the role of the United States in Middle East foreign policy, and explore the challenges and opportunities Israel faces internally and abroad.
