National Security Trip to Israel
A Behind the Scenes Look at Israel's National Security Strategies
FDD's National Security Trip to Israel is a nine day trip for D.C.-area young professionals interested in careers in U.S. national security. The twenty selected participants will enjoy conversations and high-level meetings with senior government officials and experts on a host of security issues. Topics may include: the strategic implications of a nuclear-armed Iran, Palestinian Islamist movements, the implications of the Arab Spring, and Israel's other manifold regional security concerns. These intimate conversations will be supplemented with hands-on activities with Israel's top national security practitioners.
The selected participants will be accompanied by FDD subject-matter experts throughout their trip. The goal is to establish long-term relationships that will help participants advance their career in government service. Additionally, upon returning from the trip, FDD's National Security Fellows will be integrated into FDD's alumni network, which includes mentorship opportunities, roundtable conversations and invitations to VIP events with Washington's policymakers.
