The Honorable Meir Shlomo
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The King Fahd Center for Middle East Studies invites you to join them for a visit and talk by the Honorable Meir Shlomo, ambassador and consul general of Israel to the United States. Shlomo’s presentation, “Road Maps and Road Signs: Navigating the New Middle East,” is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20, in room 216 of the J.B. Hunt Building.
“Meir is a brilliant scholar and diplomat,” said Tom Paradise, professor of geoscience and Middle East studies in the J.

We’re thrilled that he is visiting the University of Arkansas, and I look forward to his talk on September 20.”
