Come hear Consul General Livia Link-Ravia, who recently returned from Israel, give a firsthand account of the issues facing Israel and the region as the war in Gaza extends into its sixth month. With over twenty years of experience in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she has held posts that give her singular insight including coordinating policy vis-à-vis the United Nations and other international agencies. No one can say with certainty how the atrocious Hamas attack and Israel’s response will shape the region. Listening to Israel’s diplomatic representative to New Mexico will bring to GSF members an important perspective.
As consul general of Israel to the Southwest, Ms. Link-Raviv is responsible for a five-state region including Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas.
A career diplomat, Livia has held positions including deputy ambassador in Caracas, counsellor for public diplomacy in Rome and director of Pacific Department. Prior to joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she practiced law. She holds a master’s degree in conflict resolution from Hebrew University where she also earned her undergraduate degree.

Wars, instability, poverty, and desperation mean that forced migration and human displacement touch every corner of the globe, including the U.S. southern border. How can liberal democracies like the United States balance the need for security with their commitment to protecting the human rights of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants? In this program, Professor Hollifield will provide an overview of the global migration crisis and address the dilemmas of migration governance.
