Announcing the release of Edan Alexander – the last living Israeli hostage in Gaza with U.S. citizenship – U.S. President Donald Trump did something he never did before, Haaretz columnist Amir Tibon said on the Haaretz podcast. “Trump has spoken before releasing hostages, but this is the first time that he explicitly called to end the 'brutal war' to bring back 'ALL of the hostages,'" Tibon said. It is a hopeful sign, he explained, because without new determination by the U.S. president to apply “massive pressure” on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “this nightmare will not end.” In Tibon’s view, “Netanyahu is determined to continue the war, and he's determined to abandon the remaining hostages who are not lucky enough to be American citizens like Edan Alexander.” The fact that only Alexander was freed, while the non-American hostages remain in captivity, is a difficult pill to swallow for both the hostage families and the wider Israeli public, he added. While Alexander’s rescue is being celebrated, at the same time “it’s shocking that he is being saved because of his American citizenship, while the other hostages – including soldiers, including civilians – are left behind by the Israeli government.” Noting reports that Qatar would be gifting President Trump with a luxury airliner during the U.S. leader’s visit to the Gulf, Tibon made a tongue-in-cheek appeal to the Qataris. “Please give a second plane to Sara Netanyahu in return for ending the war and saving all the hostages. What is one airplane for the lives of so many people, after all. If you hear me, Qatari Government – Sara Netanyahu also needs a 747 – and we need the war to be over.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part II: Government subverts democracy with its illegal firing of Shin Bet Chief.In this podcast episode, I speak with Amir Tibon, diplomatic correspondent with Ha'aretz newspaper, author, and member of kibbutz Nahal Oz. A survivor of October 7, Amir and his family were rescued that day by his father, retired IDF General Noam Tibon. In his superb book, Gates of Gaza, Amir tells the story of that surreal day, weaving in historical context so that readers develop a much deeper understanding of the colossal failure of October 7. In this podcast he is the yin to Simcha Rothman's yang, explaining how the opposition to the government sees the firing of Ronen Bar and the extreme consequences for Israeli democracy should any ruling by the Israeli Supreme Court not be followed, as threatened by some government members. Both Rothman and Tibon very powerfully articulate their perspective and lay out for you, the listener, this epic conflict roiling Israeli society today.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Part I: Can the government fire the head of Shin Bet? You bet! Says Simcha RothmanApologies for the gap in podcast posts, but this coming week your cup will runneth over. Lots of great stuff coming your way. And we begin with this fiery discussion with Religious Zionist MK Simcha Rothman. I spoke to him on Sunday, April 6, just after the government had fired Shin Bet Head Ronen Bar and two days before the appeal of his firing was being heard in the Israeli Supreme Court. Rothman sees this latest clash as yet another manifestation of the leftist deep state undermining the will of the people, as expressed by the democratically elected government. Any criticism of the termination of Ronen Bar is manufactured and disingenuous rage, in his view. Listen and decide. We get into the weeds on the recent revival of judicial reform efforts and the dramatic fallout from the firing of Ronen Bar and also discuss his position regarding the renewed fighting in Gaza and the issue of negotiating for the return of the hostages languishing in Hamas hell. Simcha is fascinating and a very influential political player in Israel. It is important to listen carefully. In a few hours we will post the second part of this podcast—in which I discuss the same issues with Amir Tibon, a writer and journalist who sees things very differently from Simcha Rothman. I thought it important to present both sides. I'd love to hear your feedback.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

For Haaretz columnist Amir Tibon, the renewed fighting in Israel with hostages still in captivity, as scandal unfolds around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, represents a “nightmare scenario.” Speaking on the Haaretz Podcast, Tibon reviewed the turbulent events of the past week with host Allison Kaplan Sommer – from the arrest of two of Netanyahu’s top aides in the deepening Qatargate affair and the questioning of the prime minister himself, to the botched attempt to replace embattled Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Tibon pointed to the fact after the two-month reprieve of a cease-fire and hostage release in the first stage of the deal that Netanyahu subsequently abandoned, “we now find ourselves with 59 Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the tunnels of Gaza; Israeli troops on the ground; rockets are being fired at northern, southern and central Israel. And instead of dealing with the security needs of the country, we have a prime minister who is running from court to the police investigation. If I had written this three years ago in Haaretz as a scenario of what will happen under Netanyahu, everybody would have dismissed it as hateful anti-Bibi material – a nightmare scenario that will never come true. But this is what is happening right now." Tibon added that Netanyahu’s lightning-quick reversal of his decision to appoint former naval commander Eli Sharvit as Shin Bet director was driven by “dissatisfaction” with his choice by the far-right wing of his own Likud party. The Prime Minister attributing the flip-flop to pressure from the Trump administration, he said, was “an absolute lie.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zehn Stunden lang wurden Amir Tibon und seine Familie beim Massaker des 7. Oktober 2023 in einem Kibbuz von Hamas-Terroristen belagert. Wie er überlebt hat, erzählt er Tessa Szyszkowitz im Bruno Kreisky Forum. Sein Buch "Die Tore von Gaza" trägt den Untertitel: Eine Geschichte von Terror, Tod, Überleben und Hoffnung. Hosted on Acast.

Tessa Szyszkowitz in conversation with Amir TibonDIE TORE VON GAZAAmir Tibon survived October 7th with his wife and two small daughters in the shelter of their home at kibbuz Nahal Oz, very close to the Gazastrip. His book „The Gates of Gaza/ Die Tore von Gaza“ is not only telling the story of that terrible day on the basis of many interviews with survivors. As the Diplomatic Correspondent of the Israeli daily Ha'aretz Tibon is looking also at the bigger picture. He narrates the history of the Kibbuz from its beginnings, but he also sees October 7th as a huge failure by the Israeli government, to keep the Israeli population safe: „If Israelis in the communities near Gaza are not safe, is anyone in Israel ever safe?“, he asked in an interview with the Austrian Weekly Falter. In an editorial in Ha'aretz Tibon assessed at the beginning of 2025, what impact the newly returned US-President Donald Trump could have on the Middle East conflict: „The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was a direct result of 9/11, and Israel's war in Gaza was born out of October 7. However, over time, both wars reached the point of bloody stalemate without a clear political horizon, fought simply for the purpose of fighting and not in service of any declared goals.“ Can Trump end the war in Gaza as he has promised?Amir Tibon will discuss his book and the chances for an end to Israel's wars in conversation with Tessa Syzsykowitz at Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue.   Amir Tibon is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz, Israel's paper of record, and the author of The Last Palestinian: the rise and reign of Mahmoud Abbas (co-authored with Grant Rumley), the first-ever biography of the leader of the Palestinian Authority. From 2017–2020, Tibon was based in Washington, DC, as a foreign correspondent for Haaretz, and he also has served as a senior editor for the newspaper's English edition. He, his wife, and their two young daughters are former residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz but are currently living as internal refugees in northern Israel.Tessa Szyszkowitz is an Austrian journalist and author. A UK correspondent for Austrian and German publications such as Falter or Tagesspiegel, she curates Philoxenia at Kreiskyforum and she is a Distinguished Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute in London.

This week, phase one of the long-awaited cease-fire between Israel and Hamas went into effect. As part of the deal, three Israeli hostages - Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher – were freed from Hamas captivity after 471 days. Israelis were glued to their televisions, and thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square, to watch as the women finally came home. But there are 94 more hostages in Hamas' hands, to be released in phases as part of the deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already said that he seeks to continue the war, and Hamas started the cease-fire by delaying their first task – relaying a list of hostages to be released to Israel. For the podcast, Haaretz reporter Linda Dayan spoke to senior writer and columnist Amir Tibon about what the first day of the cease-fire looked like from the Gaza border, and what violating the deal would mean for the hostages and the communities in the region, including his own Nahal Oz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is expected to go into effect Sunday, with the phased release of hostages and an end to 15 months of Israel's bombardment in Gaza. Matt Galloway discusses what it will take to sustain the ceasefire with Israeli journalist Amir Tibon and Palestinian-Canadian lawyer Diana Buttu.

This week, Israel was rocked by the story of a young man who served in Gaza that went on a trip to Brazil – and found himself wanted for questioning for war crimes. He managed to flee the country before he was arrested, but questions remained: What does this mean for soldiers and reservists who fought in the war and want to travel abroad? Is this the new normal? Haaretz correspondent Linda Dayan spoke to Amir Tibon, a senior writer and columnist for the Haaretz English edition, about efforts by pro-Palestinian groups to track Israelis who saw combat in Gaza and push for their prosecution, unwittingly aided by the soldiers themselves, who posted pictures and videos from the front, against the IDF’s orders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special year-end episode, we take an in-depth look at the seismic events that shaped Israel in 2024 through the conversations on the Haaretz Podcast. It was a year in which the shadow of October 7, 2023 and its aftermath - the death and destruction in Gaza, the hostages still held by Hamas, unprecedented fighting between Israel and Hezbollah - loomed large with the nation grappling with its most devastating multi-front war in decades. Featuring excerpts from interviews with newsmakers and the analysis and insights of expert Haaretz journalists, we explore Israel’s journey through 2024 and its series of dramatic events and ask what has been learned - or not learned - from this ongoing crisis? The episode includes conversations with Ambassador Dennis Ross, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Jonathan Dekel-Chen - the father of an American-Israeli hostage in Gaza, and Haaretz journalists Aluf Benn, Amos Harel, Sheren Falah Saab, Amir Tibon, Ben Samuels and Dahlia Scheindlin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been one year since the devastating October 7th attacks by Hamas into Israel. It's a truly awful anniversary to observe for numerous reasons. In the past year, there's been immeasurable horror, violence, destruction and death. It is estimated that at least 40,000 people have died in Gaza and there are still over a hundred hostages. Our guest this week survived the attacks on October 7th and the chaos that ensued. Amir Tibon is an Israeli journalist working for Haaretz Newspaper and is the author of a newly published book titled "The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands.” He joins WITHpod to discuss what has transpired over the last year, internal politics in Gaza now, the U.S. response and what he hopes will happen in the future.

WATCH THE CONVERSATION ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/DfZZbwMuSe0  As we arrive at the grim one-year anniversary of 10/07, we are featuring a dedicated series in which we take a longer horizon perspective, asking one guest each week to look back at this past year and the year ahead. If you are listening to this episode on a podcast app, please note that this episode was filmed before a live audience and is also available in video form on our YouTube channel.  For the fourth installment of this special series, we sat down with Amir Tibon, who is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz and the author of the newly released book: “The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands.” You can order Amir's new book here: https://tinyurl.com/4khzaxab Amir is also the author of“The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas” (co-authored with Grant Rumley), the first-ever biography of the president of the Palestinian Authority.  From 2017-2020, Amir was based in Washington, DC as a foreign correspondent for Haaretz, and he also has served as a senior editor for the newspaper's English edition. He, his wife, and their two young daughters are former residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz but are currently living as internal refugees in northern Israel. His book tells the harrowing story of his family's experience on October 7th as well as the history of Israel's Gaza Envelope communities and of the Gaza Strip.  Finally, we have received a number of requests for recommendations of organizations in Israel to donate to on this one-year anniversary of 10/07. There are so many organizations doing important work to help Israelis rebuild from the events of the last year — and the ongoing war. This list is by no means comprehensive. It is simply  an opportunity to highlight four groups whose work has moved us and who deserve additional support (we will add additional recommendations in the days ahead): -IDF Widows & Orphans Organization (IDFWO), an Israeli non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the spouses and children of Israel's fallen heroes. They provide emotional care, financial assistance, educational opportunities, and a community for those affected most by Israel's wars. — https://www.idfwo.org/en/ -Since October 8, Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets, anti-tank missiles, and explosive UAVs at Israeli civilian and military targets in the north. As worries mount, Rambam Medical Center has cared for the wounded and prepared for war. This 1,100-bed medical center in Haifa has transferred its critical medical care to an underground emergency hospital. Rambam's underground hospital – capable of housing 8,000 people — will play a critical role going forward in treating wounded soldiers and civilians; protecting and caring for the needs of medical staff and their families; and protecting and caring for the residents of Israel's Northern Region. — https://aforam.org/   -Leket Israel, Israel's largest food rescue operation, is committed to leading the safe, effective and efficient collection and distribution of surplus nutritious food in Israel to those who need it. To pick just one inspiring example: since October 7th, Leket has committed itself to providing healthy food to the 250,000 displaced Israelis, many of whom have been residing in hotels for the last year. Leket has installed produce stands in hotels across Israel, providing evacuees with a consistent supply of fresh fruit and vegetables, free of charge, which Leket purchases from struggling Israeli growers. — https://www.leket.org/en/  -Kav L'noar's therapy services have provided essential psychological support to communities in the South directly impacted by the war and the October 7th massacre. Their therapeutic interventions are tailored to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges faced by individuals affected by the war, empowering survivors to navigate the aftermath, rebuild resilience, and foster a sense of collective strength. — https://www.kavlnoar.org/israelatwar

Exactly one year ago, journalist Amir Tibon waited in his safe room with his wife and two young daughters. For help. For the army. Someone. Hamas terrorists rampaged through his kibbutz, yelling “Allahu Akhbar” ceaselessly. They fired their machine guns constantly. They burned homes and threw grenades into rooms where they knew civilians took shelter. They murdered wantonly. And they took hostages. They tried, several times, to shoot open the door to the Tibon house. For some reason they were unable to open it. Amir and I discuss that black sabbath, his family's life today, returning to live on the kibbutz and the continued captivity of his neighbor and friend, Tzachi Idan.We then speak with Adam Ma'anit and Heidi Bachram, a couple living in Brighton, U.K. They are both prominent activists for the hostages and combatting antisemitism. Adam is also Tzachi Idan's cousin. They share with State of Tel Aviv their battle to bring Tzachi home and the indescribable Jew hatred that they have encountered, unabated, in the U.K. and online. You can hear the anguish in Adam's voice, as he speaks of his cousin, who watched his eldest daughter murdered before his eyes, helpless to do anything to save her. Tzachi was then force marched, barefoot, covered in his firstborn's blood, to the Hell of Hamas tunnels.Following the introduction, I speak with Amir Tibon and at approximately 23:00 the interview with Adam and Heidi begins.Am Yisrael Chai.Podcast NoteState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

« Les Portes de Gaza, une histoire de trahison, de survie et d'espoir aux frontières d'Israël » d'Amir Tibon – éd. Christian Bourgois. En tant qu'habitant du Kibboutz de Nahal Oz, Amir Tibon est un survivant de l'attaque terroriste du Hamas sur Israël le 7 octobre dernier. Mais il est aussi correspondant diplomatique pour le quotidien israélien Haaretz. À travers les récits de la terrible journée du 7 octobre, il offre également son analyse du conflit israélo-palestinien à travers les années. RFI : Votre livre alterne entre de cette journée d'horreur vécue le 7 octobre et analyse du conflit israélo-palestinien avec un élément pivot, le kibboutz. Pourquoi est-ce une notion aussi centrale ? Amir Tibon : Les kibboutz ont été construits dans les années 1920-30, avant même la fondation d'Israël en tant que pays. Ils ont joué un rôle important pour déterminer les frontières d'Israël. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui les distingue des colonies construites par Israël après la guerre des Six-Jours en 1967. Les kibboutz avaient pour but de renforcer la présence d'Israël le long des frontières alors que les colonies ont été créées pour effacer les frontières originales et tenter de créer autre chose. Et c'est une chose importante qui distingue les deux.Vous expliquez donc votre détermination à venir avec votre femme élever vos enfants dans ce kibboutz, pourtant dans le livre, vous exprimez également vos doutes nés le jour du 7 octobre. Oui, à un moment donné, j'ai dit à ma femme Miri : « Tout cela est de ma faute ». Vous savez, nous étions dans une petite pièce, dans l'obscurité, sans électricité, sans nourriture. Avec nos deux très jeunes filles, de 3 ans et demi et 2 ans, entourés de terroristes qui essayaient d'entrer et de nous tuer. Et je lui ai dit que tout était de ma faute, car l'idée de venir à Nahal Oz, dans ce kibboutz à la frontière de Gaza, était la mienne. Mais en même temps, il y a une voix en moi, même aujourd'hui, qui me dit que nous devons y retourner. Sinon, les terroristes auront gagné. Ils ont assassiné quinze de nos amis et voisins, kidnappé sept de nos amis et voisins à Gaza, deux d'entre eux sont toujours détenus. Si nous ne retournons pas vivre dans notre Kibboutz, quel genre de message est-ce que cela envoie ? Mais pour revenir, il faut que certaines choses changent en Israël, car le 7 octobre, pour les gens qui vivent le long de la frontière avec Gaza, c'est d'abord et avant tout un jour de profonde déception envers notre propre pays qui n'était pas là pour nous protéger.C'est vrai que vous revenez à plusieurs reprises sur ce sentiment de trahison.Le Hamas est en fin de compte la seule entité qui porte toute la responsabilité du massacre. En vivant à côté de Gaza, nous avons toujours su ce qu'est le Hamas et ce qu'il veut faire. Mais nous savions aussi qu'Israël était un pays fort avec une armée forte qui serait en mesure de les empêcher de nous nuire. Et c'est ce qui a volé en éclats le 7 octobre.Comme pour tout traumatisme, il est nécessaire de comprendre. Avez-vous compris pourquoi l'armée, les autorités n'ont pas réagi comme vous vous attendiez qu'elles le fassent ? Ce dont nous avons vraiment besoin en Israël, c'est de mettre en place une commission d'enquête officielle qui examinera toutes les décisions que le gouvernement a prises au fil des années qui ont précédé le 7 octobre. Pourquoi notre gouvernement a permis que de l'argent tombe entre les mains du Hamas ? Pourquoi a-t-il pensé que le Hamas était préférable à l'Autorité palestinienne en Cisjordanie ? Pourquoi a-t-il retiré ses forces de la zone frontalière de Gaza pour les envoyer dans d'autres missions ?Le 7 octobre prochain marquera les un an de l'attaque du Hamas, mais aussi les un an de la guerre à Gaza. Comment parler de ces deux drames ?Il est important de dire que le 7 octobre était une attaque terroriste totalement injustifiée d'une ampleur énorme. Je pense qu'il est aussi important pour nous, Israéliens, de critiquer le gouvernement et ses politiques qui ont mené au 7 octobre. Et puis nous devons avoir une conversation séparée sur la guerre à Gaza, qui est une conversation très difficile. En tant que citoyen israélien qui a failli être assassiné ce jour-là avec mes jeunes enfants, je pense qu'Israël n'avait pas d'autre choix que d'entrer en guerre après le 7 octobre. Nous avons été attaqués d'une manière vicieuse et inhumaine, et nous sommes entourés d'autres ennemis qui nous regardent de près. Si nous n'étions pas entrés en guerre en représailles, je ne suis pas sûr qu'Israël existerait encore. Et pourtant, en même temps, cela ne signifie pas que tout ce que nous avons fait pendant la guerre est justifiée. Cela ne signifie pas que les décisions prises pendant la guerre doivent être protégées de la critique, et cela ne signifie pas que la guerre doit durer éternellement. Je crois qu'à ce stade, nous devons faire tout ce que nous pouvons pour parvenir à un accord, ramener les otages en vie, mettre fin à cette guerre et entamer la tâche très difficile de la reconstruction de nos maisons et de la réparation de notre pays.

Haaretz journalist Amir Tibon has written a new book entitled The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands. The gripping first-person account tells how his father , a retired senior general, rushed from Tel Aviv to help save Amir and his family after Hamas terrorists invaded his home, Kibbutz Nahal Oz. And, in parallel , Tibon tells the story of his kibbutz, on the Gaza border. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with the author. (Photo:Courtesy)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amir Tibon will never forget what it felt like to be hunkered down in his safe room with his wife and two young daughters for hours on end, listening to the sound of Hamas terrorists on a murderous rampage in his neighborhood, Kibbutz Nahal Oz on the Gaza border, on October 7. "You're on automatic pilot. You're hearing gunfire inside your house," he recalled. "You're locked inside with two very young girls, and you're just operating in the situation, trying to keep the girls calm and quiet and reserved, trying to keep yourself calm and quiet and reserved, because if we were to exhibit any signs of distress, the girls would immediately see it." On the Haaretz Podcast, Tibon discussed the dramatic rescue of his family carried out by his father, retired IDF general Noam Tibon, a story he shares in his new book, "The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival and Hope on Israel's Borderlands." The book fuses his personal story with that of Israel and Gaza, sharing the 70-year history of his home of Nahal Oz – the closest Israeli community to Gaza – and the steps that led to the war that is still grinding on today, a year after it began.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israeli journalist Amir Tibon survived the Oct. 7 attack on his kibbutz Nahal Oz, hiding in a safe room with his wife and two children. His new book, The Gates of Gaza, tells the harrowing story of that day and the Israeli-Palestinian history that led to it.

durée : 00:44:54 - Signes des temps - par : Marc Weitzmann - Dans son livre "Les portes de Gaza", Amir Tibon retrace l'histoire du kibboutz Nahal Oz qui devait fêter ses soixante-dix ans le soir du 7 octobre. Le journaliste dresse le portrait d'une population israélienne qui se découvre abandonnée par ses dirigeants, entièrement livrée à elle-même. - réalisation : Luc-Jean Reynaud, Sam Baquiast - invités : Amir Tibon Journaliste.

Recording of our September 16, 2024 webinar with Amir Tibon. This conversation was hosted by Hadar Susskind and Maxxe Albert-Deitch. We spoke with author Amir Tibon about his new book, The Gates of Gaza, as well as his experience as a journalist in Israel over the last 11 months. This webinar was coordinated in partnership with our colleagues at Canadian Friends of Peace Now. About the book: In The Gates of Gaza, Amir Tibon tells the harrowing story of his family's survival on October 7th at Kibbutz Nahal Oz. He describes his family's ordeal—and the bravery that ultimately led to their rescue—alongside the histories of the place they call home and the systems of power that have kept them and their neighbors in Gaza in harm's way for decades. Woven throughout is Tibon's own expertise as a longtime international correspondent, as well as more than thirty original interviews: with residents of his kibbutz, with the Israeli soldiers who helped to wrest it from the hands of Hamas, and with experts on Gaza, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the peace process. More than one family's odyssey, The Gates of Gaza is the intimate story of a tight-knit community and the broader saga of war, Occupation, and hostility between two national movements—a conflict that has not yet extinguished the enduring hope for peace.

Visit our website: https://arkmedia.org/ This conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/O7F7Pq-XI40 Show Notes: Since October 7th, on this podcast we have tried to present Israel's dilemmas and challenges as Israel responded to a genocidal attack from Gaza and what is now a multi-front war. We have tried to do this by talking to Israelis – Israeli journalists, political figures, historians and other thought leaders, and different people from Israel's civil society. We have tried to provide historical context and perspectives from various actors in the U.S.-Israel relationship from both sides of that relationship. We did not think we would still be recording these episodes – with this focus – for one year. And yet, here we are — approaching the one-year anniversary of October 7, which will be regarded as one of the darkest days in Jewish history (and one of the darkest days in the history of Western Civilization). Most of our episodes have been shaped by weekly and daily news developments. But as we approach the one-year anniversary, we wanted to take a step back, and spend extended time with a few of our previous guests and thought leaders who are not our go-to analysts. We asked each one of them to take a longer horizon perspective, to look back at this past year and the year ahead. In each conversation, we will try to understand the larger lessons these guests have learned as we approach this grim milestone. If you are listening to this episode on a podcast app, please note that this series was filmed in a studio and is also available in video form on our YouTube channel. You can find a link here: [Ilan, insert link]. We begin this series with a conversation with Douglas Murray – war journalist, columnist, and bestselling author. We will be dropping one of these long-form conversations with a different guest each week between now and the first couple weeks after 10/07. LINKS: On Sunday, September 8, Douglas Murray will kick off his first ever US Tour with Live Nation. Long before Oct 7, Douglas was a widely read journalist, bestselling author, and one of the most prescient intellectuals in the world. Since Oct 7, he has also become one of the strongest voices for Israel and the Jewish people. Douglas will be sharing experiences from his time in Israel post October 7, including never before seen footage from his time in Israel. On September 8, he will be at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale. On September 10, he'll be at the Fillmore Miami Beach. On September 11, the Warner Theatre in Washington DC. On September 23, The Wiltern in Los Angeles. On September 29, the Beacon Theatre in New York City. And on October 13, Paramount Theatre in Denver. The evening will be filled with great pride for am yisrael and hope for the future. Some shows are sold out or very near sold out.

Dave grew up in Bloomsburg, PA, attended West Point, fought in the Gulf War with the 82nd Airborne, then ran a tech software business in Pittsburgh before becoming CEO of Bridgewater Associates. Dave has emerged as one of the strongest pro-Israel voices and allies of the Jewish community this election cycle; his wife Dina was a deputy national security advisor in the White House and one of the architects of the Abraham Accords. We are going to have a fascinating conversation about his trip to Israel in January, what he's seen on the campaign trail and how his experience as a combat veteran informs his perspective on the war in Israel and America's role in the region. To register, please go to: Dan-and-Dave.eventbrite.com

In recent days, there has been intensifying debate inside Israel over whether the security concerns raised by Prime Minister Netanyahu (regarding the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt-Gaza border) are legitimate or just sand being thrown in the gears of the hostage negotiations? Are there actual substantive objections to the concerns the Prime Minister is raising, or are the concerns really just with Netanyahu himself? Is the problem the message? Or the messenger? We are joined by Amit Segal. He is the chief political correspondent and analyst for Channel 12 News, and for Yediot Ahronot, the country's largest circulation newspaper. NADAV EYAL who is a columnist Yediiot. Eyal is one of Israel's leading journalists. Eyal has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news. Amit and Nadav often debate in Hebrew on Israeli television…this is the first time they are debating like this in English, and they wound up debating a number of other – more raw – issues that cut to some of the divisions in Israeli society today over the war. I learned a lot from both of them. Register for the September 24th Call me Back Live at the Streicker Center in New York with special guest Amir Tibon: https://streicker.nyc/events/tibon-senor

Against the backdrop of a possible Iran/Hezbollah attack, as well as international criticism of an IDF operation in Gaza City, there have been new developments in the hostage negotiations. This past Thursday, a multi-party statement was issued by the U.S., Egypt and Qatar, declaring that the framework of a hostage deal was nearly complete, and urging Israel and Hamas to finalize the deal without further delay. Soon after, Prime Minister Netanyahu's office issued a statement that Israel would send its team to the now scheduled August 15th negotiations. Hamas had indicated its intention to participate as well. Now, suddenly, Hamas is reversing its decision. Although, at least according to some sources, this reversal may be last minute posturing by Hamas. Either way, the sudden acceleration of the process does make this dynamic seem different from previous rounds. To discuss all of these issues, we are joined by Call me Back regulars: -Nadav Eyal is a columnist for Yediot. Eyal has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news. -Haviv Rettig Gur has been a regular presence on this podcast since October 8. He is a senior political analyst for the Times of Israel, and has been an important interpreter for Western audiences of how to understand this conflict in broader historical terms.

In this episode, I discuss the heightened tensions in Israel amid fears of an imminent attack from Iran and its regional allies, a situation compounded by the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. With co-host Yaakov Katz on vacation in Europe, I sought out two pundits familiar to State of Tel Aviv listeners: Amir Tibon, diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz and author of the forthcoming book “Gates of Gaza”, and Lieutenant Colonel (Res.) Jonathan Conricus. Amir discusses the current threat environment and the influential role of the United States, while Jonathan explores the strategic implications of Israel's potential shift in dealing with Iran. The episode highlights the deep concern within Israel and debates around a potential hostage deal with Hamas, reflecting the complex geopolitical dynamics at play. The Sunday podcast, usually paywalled, is made accessible to all this week due to the critical nature of the situation. It really is existential. We get into everything.
