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.
Every time an Israeli airstrike hits Gaza, international media outlets rush to cite “Gaza’s Civil Defense” for casualty figures—often highlighting the deaths of women and children. But rarely, if ever, do these reports mention militants, armed operatives, or Hamas fighters killed. Why?
Iranian intelligence agencies have obtained a large trove of sensitive Israeli documents, some related to the nuclear plans and facilities of Tehran's arch enemy, Iran's state media reported on Saturday.
Somewhere between a misguided humanitarian mission and an awkward Mediterranean yacht party, the Madleen — a tiny sailboat carrying 12 impassioned activists, a few crates of juice, and a whole lot of attitude — is inching its way toward Gaza.
