The situation in Israel is changing quickly. In the last week we’ve seen headlines about fighting in Gaza and Lebanon, passage of legislation that would politicize Israel’s judicial branch, and the return of mass protests against the Israeli government. Meanwhile, we know that the settler movement – with the backing of the government – is creating facts on the ground that would effectively annex the West Bank to Israel. To help make sense of this and more, New Jewish Narrative is hosting a webinar on Thursday featuring Lior Amihai and Hagit Ofran of Peace Now. This webinar will take place TODAY (April 3rd), at 2:00pm Eastern Time. | |
New Jewish Narrative Supports Senator Sanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval April 2, 2025- Following the resumption of widespread Israeli military activity in Gaza, the Senate is preparing to vote on two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block the Trump Administration’s proposed $8.8 billion sale of certain bombs and other munitions to Israel. New Jewish Narrative (NJN) calls on senators to vote for the resolutions. | |
The Israeli cabinet is building a road that will close the heart of the West Bank to Palestinians March 30, 2025- The Security Cabinet decided last night (29/3/25) to allocate NIS 335 million for the construction of a road between Elazariya and A-Za’im, known as the “Fabric of Life Road” or the “Sovereignty Road.” In practice, the construction of the road will create a separate road system for Israelis and Palestinians (an apartheid road), which will allow Israel to close off a vast area in the heart of the West Bank to Palestinians by diverting Palestinian traffic to a special bypass, and to annex the entire Ma’ale Adumim area to Israel and build the E1 plan. For this reason, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett who started the planning of the road called it the “Sovereignty Road” at the time. In the Civil Administration, the road is known as the “Fabric of Life Road” because it is intended to allow Palestinians to maintain a fabric of life after Israel closes off the entire area to them. | |
