To Israel, this is a war of necessity
It’s been two months since Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel that killed 1200 people, took 240 hostage, and shook the country to its core. October 7th was a day that not only altered the course of Israeli history, but also has forced Israelis to re-examine their relationship to their Palestinian neighbors, and their ability to rebuild a thriving democracy in one of the most hostile regions in the world.
To understand the story of Israel post October 7th, we’re joined by Yossi Klein Halevi. Yossi is a best-selling author, a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, and a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
“If we do not succeed in projecting credible military deterrence, we will gradually decline. We will be inviting more and more acts of aggression.”
