International Conference: "Moshe Sharet - Leadership, Diplomacy, Legacy: A Reevaluation"
Moshe Sharett (1894-1965) was among the foremost leaders of the Yishuv and the early State of Israel. A complex and thought-provoking figure, Sharett served as the country’s first Foreign Minister (1948-1956) and its second Prime Minister (1954-1955). Yet, the founder of Israel’s diplomatic service still remains to be fully learned and studied. Marking sixty years since his death, this conference aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars for a renewed critical examination of Sharett’s leadership, diplomacy, and legacy. Special attention will be given to the moral realism that characterized the statesmanship he shaped and embodied.
