Dear John,

With so much of the media focused on Gaza and Iran, critical developments in the West Bank are receiving far too little attention – even as they are reshaping realities on the ground in profound and alarming ways.

That’s why NJN is planning a webinar on Thursday that will feature Hagit Ofran, Israel’s leading expert on settlements and the Israeli government’s policies in the Occupied Territories. As co-director of Peace Now’s Settlement Watch program, Hagit has spent decades documenting settlement expansion and tracking the legal and political mechanisms driving de facto annexation.

The webinar will take place on Thursday, January 15th at 2 PM (Eastern US Time). Click here to register.

This webinar is part of NJN’s ongoing commitment to fostering informed, values-driven Jewish engagement with Israel/Palestine – especially when the stakes are high and the headlines fall short.

I hope you’ll join us for this important conversation.

In solidarity,

Hadar Susskind
President and CEO
