Six O’clock After the War’: A political Vision for the Day After the Gaza Campaign
While Israel’s citizens are united around the need to militarily and politically topple Hamas and bring back the hostages, the Israeli government is in no hurry to discuss the day after. In the meantime, parts of the coalition are already busy promoting destructive measures, such as establishing settlements in Gaza. – Against the resounding failure of conflict management strategies, the strengthening of Hamas, and the weakening of the Palestinian Authority led by the right-wing governments in the last 15 years, there is a necessity to generate new perceptions that will ensure the security of Israel and its existence as a Jewish, democratic, and liberal state. – The Mitvim Institute and the Berl Katznelson Foundation, with the support of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Israel and the New Israel Fund, hosted an online conference discussing the ‘day after’ from various perspectives and presenting a new political vision for Israel and its security. The conference was attended by leaders from the political system, including MK Yair Lapid, MK Mansur Abbas, and MK Naama Lazimi, as well as researchers and prominent figures from civil society. – The conference held in Hebrew.
