Hague's Next In The Jewish News Hotseat
Shadow Secretary William Hague with Israeli Ambassador Ron Prossor and Conservative Leader David Cameron
Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague is to become the latest high-profile politician to take centre stage for a question and answer session organised by the Jewish News.
With just weeks until the General Election, the hour-long event will be an opportunity for community members to quiz the former Tory leader on his party's approach to the Middle East peace process, the Goldstone report and Iran.

Hague said this week: "I appreciate the opportunity given to me by the Jewish News to engage directly with members of the community on a wide range of issues."
Hague follows in the footsteps of Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who took part in our last event at the LJCC in November.
London Mayor Boris Johnson and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg also took centre stage for separate events during 2009.
Jewish News editor Richard Ferrer said: "The community will be keen to quiz Mr Hague who, if opinion polls are to be believed, is poised to become our next foreign secretary.
"Our readers will be fascinated to hear his thoughts on key issues such as the Middle East peace process, Iran and anti-Semitism."
Louise Jacobs, deputy chief executive of the LJCC, said: "We are delighted that William Hague has agreed to come to Ivy House to take questions from the Jewish community.
"With a General Election imminent this is an wonderful opportunity for us to hear from a key person at the very heart of Conservative foreign policy."
-The question and answer session will take place at 6.30pm. Tickets, priced at £10 each, are available on a first come first served basis by calling the London Jewish Cultural Centre on 020 8457 5000.
