Haviv Rettig Gur — What a Difference a Year Makes: Israel’s Traumatic 2023 & What to Expect in 2024

2023 will be remembered as Israel’s year of horrors. It began with deep societal polarization, mass protests, and anxiety about the future of Israeli democracy, following the new Netanyahu government’s plan to weaken judicial independence. It ended with the most devastating terrorist attack in Israel’s history and a war that is now being fought on multiple fronts. In this webinar, Amichai Magen, FSI's visiting fellow in Israel Studies, is joined by one of Israel’s leading analysts, Haviv Rettig Gur, to take stock of 2023 and seek to ascertain what awaits Israel in 2024. Introduction has been edited to omit Zoom webinar Q&A instructions and other housekeeping.
