The Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference returns to Jerusalem

The Jerusalem Post is set to convene its annual Diplomatic Conference on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem. This event is recognized as one of Israel's most significant policy gatherings.

The conference will bring together ambassadors, diplomats, ministers, parliamentarians, military attachés, business leaders, and thought leaders. Approximately 200 members of the diplomatic corps stationed in Israel are expected to attend, creating a high-level forum to discuss the nation's pressing challenges and opportunities. The discussions will center on critical political, economic, and security issues relevant to Israel, the Middle East, and the broader global landscape.

Notable participants scheduled to speak include Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion, Head of the Political-Military Bureau at the Ministry of Defense Itamar Graff, and Major General (res.) Amikam Norkin. They are expected to highlight Israel's innovation and resilience, explore avenues for international cooperation, and emphasize the importance of strengthening diplomatic ties and partnerships.

The conference aims to foster connections between the international diplomatic community in Israel and leading figures from government, business, and civil society. Over the years, the event has attracted influential global voices, including former US Vice-President Mike Pence, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. The proceedings will be broadcast live on The Jerusalem Post website and promoted across its media platforms, reaching a substantial online audience.
