Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak | JCCSF

With Janine Zacharia

In 2000, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak took the unprecedented step of proposing a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. In his definitive new memoir, My Country, My Life: Fighting for Israel, Searching for Peace, he takes us inside that critical moment – and the lifetime that led up to it. From being born on a kibbutz to commanding Israel’s special forces to serving as prime minister, Barak’s story is the story of the nation itself, in all its complexity. Join this veteran soldier–statesman for a look back at his life of service for Israel and a look ahead at what lies in store for the country and the Middle East.

Ehud Barak served as Israel's Prime Minister from 1999 – 2001. He was the leader of the Labor Party from 2007 until 2011, and Minister of Defense, first in Olmert's and then in Netanyahu's government, from 2007 – 2013. Before entering politics, he was a key member of the Israeli military, occupying the position of Chief-of-Staff. Barak holds a BSc in Physics and Math from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and an MSc degree from Stanford in Engineering-Economic Systems.
