WASHINGTON (JTA) — An Israeli diplomat will speak at J Street’s annual conference.
A statement from the Israeli Embassy in Washington issued Tuesday said the deputy chief of mission, Barukh Binah, will participate in the March 24-27 conference in the U.S. capital and deliver remarks.
Israeli Embassy officials in Washington have attended conferences of the liberal pro-Israel group only as observers, in part because of differences with the group, which has criticized Israel for not freezing settlement building and not doing more to restart peace talks.
