At the event, PBS’s Charlie Rose hosted a discussion between New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Ami Ayalon, the former director of Israel’s internal security agency, the Shin Bet.

The AFRMC gala took place at a particularly tense time for Israel, as fighting between the Jewish state and the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip escalated.
