Israel at a Crossroads: Charting the Path Within and Beyond

Since October 7, Israeli society has undergone a profound transformation. The attacks, the ensuing wars, and the intense international scrutiny have reshaped how Israelis—Jews and Arabs alike—understand their identities, their relationships with one another, and their visions for the country's future.

What does it mean to be Israeli today? How has the events of the last three years changed the relationship between Jewish and Arab citizens? And how have regional conflicts and global reactions to Israel influenced Israel’s internal and external dynamics?

For Americans, these questions are more than matters of foreign policy. As debates over Israel have become increasingly central to American politics, campuses, and Jewish communal life, understanding the realities and complexities inside Israeli society has never been more important. Join us for a timely conversation exploring how Israel is changing—and why those changes matter far beyond its borders.
