Subject: Connecting Dr. Soner Cagaptay with Amb. Merav Zafary-Odiz from the Israel National Defense College

Dear Soner,

I hope this email finds you well! I hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

I’m reaching out to connect you with Ambassador Merav Zafary-Odiz, cced. Merav is the Chief Instructor at the Israel National Defense College, Israel's highest institution for training senior staff in the IDF, the security establishment, as well as senior officials in government ministries and agencies, for senior positions. I worked with Merav to coordinate several virtual lectures that Dennis gave to the Israel National Defense College earlier this year.

Merav wanted to ask you about your availability and willingness to give a Zoom lecture on Turkey on February 8^th—I will leave it to Merav to provide additional information.

All the best,

Will
