Friends,

This year, J Street’s friends at the Forum for Regional Thinking and The
Van Leer Jerusalem Institute released a landmark report answering a
question we’ve heard a lot recently: What else is Israel to do?

Titled “[ [link removed] ]The Present Day: Peacemaking Alternatives for Israeli Policy,”
the report outlines an alternative path for Israel – one that’s still not
too late to pursue – designed to lock in lasting security gains, save
innocent lives in Gaza and transform the prospects for long-term peace.

To help us unpack the findings and recommendations of the report, J
Street’s Policy Center is excited to host a virtual briefing with the
report’s authors on Wednesday, April 2 at 12:30pm Eastern / 9:30am
Pacific. [ [link removed] ]Register to join us here >>

Dr. Assaf David and Dr. Smadar Ben-Natan will share their conclusions on
the road to October 7, the ongoing Gaza war and the alternate visions of a
‘day after’ the war in Gaza.

The report provides “peace-oriented” policy recommendations for achieving
postwar reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. Endorsed by more
than 130 Jewish and Arab Israeli scholars, the “Present Day” report is
intended for all those who strive for a peaceful future.

This discussion couldn’t come at a more urgent time – a moment which shows
us that the cause of peace and the fight for our democracy are
inextricably intertwined as endless war becomes a pretext for further
democratic erosion.

“As opposed to other recent policy papers titled ‘The Day After,’ we argue
that vanquishing the Palestinians or reoccupying Gaza and the West Bank
would bring Israel no peace, stability, or prosperity. The day after is,
in fact, the crisis unfolding before our very eyes. To turn this page, we
must part with basic assumptions deeply rooted in Israeli politics and
psyche. The path of peace has yet to be taken,” the authors write in the
executive summary.
