Friend,
As thousands of Israeli troops continue preparations for a potential ground invasion of Gaza, we know that decisions made by leaders in both Israel and the United States in the coming days will have major repercussions for decades to come.
Tomorrow, October 26 at 12:30pm Eastern, we’re hosting a public briefing to talk about the strategic challenges, security risks and major humanitarian concerns ahead of a potential invasion. We’ll discuss the implications for hostages held by Hamas, civilians trapped in Gaza and the long-term ramifications for Israelis, Palestinians and the United States.
J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami will be joined by Congressman Jason Crow of Colorado – a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan and a leading voice on national security in Congress – and two leading Israeli security experts. Click here to join us >>

Tomorrow, October 26
12:30pm Eastern | 9:30am Pacific
As both Congressman Crow and J Street have said, the United States must support both Israel’s security and the humanitarian needs and safety of Palestinian civilians.
We’ll also be joined by two respected Israeli security analysts. Noa Shusterman-Dvir is the Palestinian and Regional Program Director at MIND Israel, and Nimrod Novik is a member of the Executive Committee of Commanders for Israel’s Security and a fellow of the Israel Policy Forum.
If you haven’t yet had the opportunity, we also recommend reading J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami’s reflections this week on how the US can best guide Israel’s government toward responsible, effective decision-making – and avoiding the mistakes the US has made in the past.
