Friends,

Netanyahu’s decision this week to reignite the anguish of the Gaza war is
a dark, painful milestone.

Tomorrow, we’re holding a briefing with Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin and Ilan
Goldenberg to discuss the impact on Israelis, Palestinians, the United
States and our own community.

Dahlia – an Israeli policy and public opinion expert – will give us the
inside track on Netanyahu’s political calculations, the horrific impact
the current siege and military operations are having in Gaza and the
political dynamics in Israel, where thousands have taken to the streets in
protest.

Ilan – former White House Middle East Policy Advisor – will share his take
on the implications of the breakdown of ceasefire negotiations, the Trump
team’s political calculations and how they might still pull this back from
the brink – as well as the threat to US interests in the region and
beyond.

As we hope for and work toward an urgent off ramp, please join us as we
grapple with this moment and step up our advocacy for an immediate return
to the ceasefire framework.

As we said earlier this week, Netanyahu’s decision flies in the face of
pleas from freed Israeli hostages, families of those still held in Gaza
and top Israeli security experts.

Endless war puts every remaining hostage at risk while thrusting families
in Gaza back into the crossfire of a brutal, unforgiving war – a war that
security experts warn is doing very little to defeat the forces of terror
or make Israel safer.

The fastest way to free hostages and disempower Hamas is through the
January framework which has freed hostages and made clear that Hamas must
relinquish control of the Strip.

I hope you can join us tomorrow as we answer your questions and dive into
political power dynamics that are driving the decision-making in Israel
and here in the United States.
