Friend,

When I was working in the White House, we started planning for the “day
after” in Gaza just a week after October 7, 2023 – running through
multiple scenarios to replace Hamas, weighing numerous outcomes of
post-war governance and thinking through how to transform a ceasefire
agreement into a lasting peace.

Now that the Trump Administration has finalized a deal that includes many
of these ideas, it is time to put them into action. But the ceasefire is
fragile, the stakes are enormous and the next steps will define the
region.

This Wednesday, October 22 at 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific, I’ll be joined
live on Substack by Samantha Sutton, a seasoned political advisor who has
been in backdoor rooms shaping US policy toward Israel and Palestine
across three administrations. Sam and I worked together on these
challenges at the White House, and we’ll be talking through how we see
things going forward.

No need to register for the call beforehand. You’ll get an alert in your
inbox on Wednesday to tune in once Sam and I are live and on screen.

Sam knows the history, the players and the likely outcomes better than
anyone else. She has a particularly unique perspective as she was part of
the team that negotiated the ceasefire in January 2025 as the outgoing
Biden team worked with the incoming Trump team during the transition of
power.

future calls, all held at a regular standing time of Wednesdays at 4pm
Eastern / 1pm Pacific >>

Looking forward,

Ilan Goldenberg
Senior Vice President and Chief Policy Officer, J Street
