AGENDA
The full Summit agenda will be published as the event approaches.
Building on the momentum of the historic 2025 Inaugural Summit, the 2026 Summit will once again convene top-level government officials, diplomats, policymakers, media voices, philanthropists, academics, and other leading thinkers for critical discussions on Israel’s strategic direction in the aftermath of October 7 and beyond.
The Summit aims to confront Israel’s most pressing strategic questions, while reinforcing its status as a military, economic, and moral superpower on the global stage.
The Summit will be preceded by a special JNS Shabbaton (June 19-20) in Jerusalem for our supporters and friends - those who stand with JNS in our mission to combat media bias and defend truth.
This inspiring Shabbat experience will combine a warm, festive atmosphere with high-level discussion and engagement. Participants will hear from leading speakers from Israel and abroad and join meaningful conversations on the key issues facing the Jewish people today.
The weekend also features curated tours in and around Jerusalem. While the Policy Summit offers a formal setting for strategic dialogue, the Shabbaton provides a more informal space for continued high-level conversations and shared vision - set in the heart of Israel’s eternal capital.
For the first time, JNS will launch its Inaugural Policy Delegation (June 19-25, 2026), a one-of-a-kind immersive program through Israel, running concurrently with and extending beyond the Summit and Shabbaton.
This week-long experience will begin with the JNS Shabbaton, followed by the three-day Policy Summit, and continue with tailored VIP tours throughout the country - curated around the themes discussed at the Summit and forums.
Led by elite guides and guest speakers, these tours will offer unparalleled access to key sites, frontline perspectives, and thought leaders shaping Israel’s future.
