Welcome Note

At a moment of profound geopolitical transformation, the relationship between Europe and Israel is entering a decisive phase. The ELNET Jerusalem Summit (EJS) was created to provide a dedicated platform where this relationship can be shaped with clarity, depth, and strategic intent.

Recent developments in the Middle East, including the confrontation with Iran and evolving dynamics in Lebanon and the broader region, have underscored the growing intersection between European and Israeli security, economic, and political interests. At the same time, Europe is redefining its role in areas such as defense, connectivity, innovation, and regional stability.

In this context, direct and structured engagement is essential.

The ELNET Jerusalem Summit brings together senior leaders from across Europe and Israel, including policymakers, industry executives, security experts, and thought leaders, to engage in a focused and forward-looking dialogue. The objective is not only to exchange perspectives, but to build lasting partnerships, align strategic priorities, and contribute to a more coherent and resilient Europe–Israel relationship.

Jerusalem, as the political and symbolic capital of Israel, provides the appropriate setting for this dialogue. It is here that strategic decisions are made, and where meaningful engagement can take place at the highest level.

The Summit is designed to be more than a conference. It is a platform for action, a space for candid discussion, and a mechanism to strengthen long-term cooperation between Europe and Israel.

We look forward to welcoming you to Jerusalem.
