World Jewish Congress President Lauder to discuss Arab Spring, Israel Feb. 10

President of the World Jewish Congress and former U.S. ambassador Ronald Lauder will appear at a National Press Club Newsmaker Friday, Feb. 10, at 10 a.m.

Lauder plans to warn that any effort by a drifting and unstable Egyptian government to abrogate its peace treaty with Israel will have disastrous consequences for the Middle East.

He also plans to discuss what he views as the implications of a disintegrating Syria, Iran’s response to economic sanctions, and Israel’s communications failure to successfully project itself as the lone democracy in a region of despots, terrorists and radical fundamentalism.
