The stream of distressing news coming from Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank can feel overwhelming. Since the summer began, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented war against Iran, a new major Israeli offensive in Gaza, and a dramatic worsening of the humanitarian catastrophe in the enclave. Meanwhile, 58 hostages from Israel remain in captivity, and violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank, perpetrated by both settlers and the military, continues to go unchecked.

Inside Israel, the ruling coalition is finding new ways to attack democratic institutions. But even in the face of violent intimidation, voices in Israel calling for a ceasefire, a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, and a peaceful democratic future for both Israelis and Palestinians are growing stronger.

To unpack all of this and more, please join us for a conversation with Elisheva Goldberg, NIF’s Senior Director of Media & Policy.
