Upcoming GIIS events: Guy Ziv 2/2, Sayed Kashua 2/25

Don’t miss our first event of the semester - Guy Ziv will discuss his new book on how leaders’ personalities shape important foreign policy shifts. Dr. Ziv will discuss the relevance of his work to the upcoming elections in Israel and their implications for Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking.
                                                                                                                                             
LUNCH WILL BE SERVED! Please RSVP at israelstudies.umd.edu/upcoming-events.html


Please SAVE THE DATE for an exciting evening with Sayed Kashua – a Palestinian citizen of Israel, author, and journalist born in Tira, Israel, known for his books and humorous columns in Hebrew. In his weekly satirical column in Haaretz, Kashua uses his tongue-in-cheek style to address the problems faced by Arabs in Israel, caught between two worlds. The event will take place on February 25 from 7:30 – 9:00 PM in the Stamp Student Union. More details and RSVP information forthcoming!
