Main Findings

It is common to think that despite the extensive political, religious and cultural differences between different identity groups in Israel, on really important matters—such as survival in the face of enemy attack—they can all come together.

Hamas' surrender would break the binary choice between conflict and ceasefire.                    

 Following the October 7 massacre, the question of who should be held accountable remains. We must be vigilant as reports come out about who received a warning before the attack

 Negotiating with terrorists breeds terrorism, but a tough, focused, sustained war against Hamas, backed by America and the West, can free the rest of the world from the terrorist organization

Israel's war with Hamas is reinforcing Palestinian support for a one-state solution, compelling Israel to grant them equal political rights

The report’s only reference to Hamas’s crimes is an aside written in a dry and gender-neutral manner: “…the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in an estimated 1,400 dead, 4,629 wounded and some 200 people taken hostage…”

As the war in Israel continues, will the country be able to achieve its two goals of defeating Hamas and releasing all the hostages?

One of the crises roiling Israel in recent years is the chasm that has gradually opened up between it and American Jewry – the world’s largest Diaspora community.
