Moshe Sharett – Leadership, Diplomacy, Legacy: A Reevaluation
[Konferenz Ankündigung für September 2026]

The Jacob Robinson Institute for the History of Individual and Collective Rights (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and the Azrieli Center for Israel Studies (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) invite proposals for an international conference on “Moshe Sharett – Leadership, Diplomacy, Legacy: A Reevaluation”. The event will be held at the Mount Scopus campus in (West-)Jerusalem, from Monday, 7 September to Wednesday, 9 September 2026.

Moshe Sharett (1894-1965) was among the foremost leaders of the Yishuv and the early State of Israel. A complex and thought-provoking figure, Sharett served as the country’s first Foreign Minister (1948-1956) and its second Prime Minister (1954-1955). Yet, the founder of Israel’s diplomatic service still remains to be fully leaned and studied. Marking sixty years since his death, this conference aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars for a renewed critical examination of Sharett’s leadership, diplomacy and legacy. Special attention will be given to the moral realism that characterized the statesmanship he shaped and embodied.
