Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, we came together to hear from Israelis and peace advocates about the aftermath and lasting impact of the October 7 attacks.
Today, we’ll turn our attention to the Gaza war and broader regional escalation, and the blow they have dealt to Palestinian and Lebanese civilians, Israelis, and the wider Middle East. We’ll consider how we might chart a course out of this morass and toward a better future for all.
Friend, we’d love for you to join us for this call, hosted by the J Street Policy Center in conjunction with the Progressive Israel Network. Register for today's call, Thursday, October 10 at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific >>
I’m honored to be joined by:
- Middle East policy expert Merissa Khurma, who will share her in-depth analysis of the ramifications of the Gaza war across the region, the pathway toward peace and security, and how to grapple with the growing threat of a catastrophic, all-out regional conflict.
- Humanitarian advocate Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, who grew up in Gaza and spent the past year advocating for understanding between Palestinians, Israelis and diaspora communities. He’ll offer us a closer look at the devastating effects of the war and the need for empathy.
We hope you can join me as we work to make sense of this deeply painful moment. Register to join us today >>
Sincerely,
Debra
