Former Israeli ambassador to talk peace

The former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. is scheduled to make a stop in Rhode Island today.

Daniel Ayalon will speak at Roger Williams University about the prospects of resolving some of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

Ayalon’s speech, “Prospects for Peace in the Middle East,” is part of the University’s Civil Discourse lecture series.

“It’s imperative that our University’s students – and our nation’s future generation of leaders – appreciate the complex array of issues affecting the Middle East," Roger Williams President Roy J. Nirschel said in a statement.

“We expect that discussing the prospects for peace will cultivate both understanding and hope.”

The lecture begins at 5:30 tonight at the University’s Recreation Center Gym. It’s free and open to the public, but there are limited spaces available. To reserve a ticket, call 401-254-3067
