The Atlantic Council hosted on December 19, 2023, a virtual ACFrontPage conversation with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on the October 7 Hamas attack and subsequent war in Gaza.
The president offered his perspective on military progress and the hostage situation, the conflict’s humanitarian challenges and economic impact in Israel, and Israel’s future relations with other Middle East states and global partners.
Israel is now undertaking military operations in the southern part of Gaza in pursuit of its goal to destroy Hamas. Meanwhile, aid distribution in Gaza has been interrupted by the resumption of military activity—and the region’s fears that the conflict could expand regionally continue to rise.

The release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza is expected to begin early Monday morning, according to Shosh Bedrosian, spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On Monday, global attention will turn to Sharm el-Sheikh, as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and U.S. President Donald Trump co-chair a high-level peace summit aimed at ending the war in Gaza.
