Ruth graduated with a DPhil in International Relations at Oxford as a Weidenfeld Scholar in 2011. She holds an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Bar-Ilan University, Israel (1997), an MA in International Relations from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (2003) and an MA in Public Administration, received in 2007 from Harvard University.

After her experience working in Egypt, Ruth is particularly interested in the topic of ‘Egyptian-Israeli peace and its interdependence upon Israeli-Palestinian peace’.
