Thanks to the nearly 300 of you who tuned in live for my discussion this afternoon with
, whose Substack you should subscribe to if you haven’t already. What an incredible turnout for our first go.If you couldn’t make it and find yourself with some free time this weekend, I hope you’ll watch and maybe share the recording with folks in your circles.
Ilan and I covered a wide range of topics.
We discussed the horrific situation on the ground in Gaza and Netanyahu's announcement that the Israeli military would be moving to re-occupy Gaza. We talked a bit about the humanitarian catastrophe and what must be done immediately to bring relief to Palestinian families and the hostages home from captivity.
Coming back to America, we chatted about how Washington is responding, including in a flurry of Congressional letters pressing the Israeli government to end its 68-day blockade on all aid into Gaza. You can learn more about how J Street is responding to the crisis here.
Bridging the two regions is none other than President Trump, who heads to the Middle East on Monday. We chat about his trip, Congressional activity and more.
Watched the recording or joined us live? I’d deeply appreciate your feedback in the comments below.
How can we make these chats more engaging? What would you like to hear about? And most importantly, we’d love your suggestions for what to call these programs? Watch to see what I proposed.
Stay tuned for more info on future live discussions. We hope to finalize a standing hour each week to host these calls. Have a great weekend, all.
