We're going live Friday. Here’s how to join and what to expect 📺
My colleague Ilan Goldenberg and I will recap a hectic week in Washington and the region.
In the spirit of trying new things – and expanding my footprint here on Word on the Street – I’ll be going live on Substack this Friday, May 9, alongside my colleague, J Street’s new Chief Policy Officer, Ilan Goldenberg.
Mark your calendars, and look for an alert when the clock strikes 1pm Eastern!
Here’s what’s up for discussion this week:
Netanyahu's announcement of a major escalation in Gaza and re-occupation
President Trump's busy Middle East trip (that doesn’t have Israel on the itinerary)
A Democrat-led House letter condemning Netanyahu’s blockade on all aid into Gaza
Fallout of the Antisemitism Awareness Act – and the right approach to fight the real problem of antisemitism
The GOP’s conundrum on anti-boycott legislation
We’ll start abroad before bringing the conversation back home to the States. I invite you to leave a comment on this post if there’s anything else you’d like to see brought up.
Can’t make it? Live discussions are automatically recorded, and we’ll make sure to post the full-length video for subscribers who couldn’t tune in live.
If you’d like to catch up on the latest from J Street in the meantime, I’d encourage you to read Ilan’s response to Netanyahu’s plan to re-occupy Gaza here. We’ll discuss it at length at the end of the week.
Thanks so much for joining me on this adventure, and I hope to see you in a couple of days.

Congrats on your first live event here on Substack! Regarding a title for the live events, IMO building directly from your substack name of Word on the Street would be good.
Try: Voices (or Conversations) on the Street, or Voices from J Street.
It would. be appreciated if you would also comment on the closure of the U.S. office in Jerusalem that served Palestinians and reported directly, rather than through the Embassy.
