Ayelet Shaked

Minister of Justice of Israel

On May 10, Hudson Institute hosted a special discussion with MK Ayelet Shaked, Israel’s Minister of Justice. Minister Shaked has served as Israel’s Minister of Justice in the Netanyahu government since May of 2015. A graduate of Tel Aviv University with degrees in computer science and electrical engineering, she spent the early part of her career working in Israel’s rapidly growing high-tech sector before entering government.

Minister Shaked joined Hudson Institute President & CEO Ken Weinstein for an engaging conversation covering the U.S.-Israel relationship since the inauguration of President Trump, current events in Israel and the Middle East, Israel as a “Start-Up Nation,” the role of technology in the future of the Israeli economy, and more.
