[ ]J Street[ ]
Friends,

There is a shift happening in Israel.

Images and reports of suffering in Gaza are breaking through like never
before. A small but growing number of reservists are refusing to serve in
Gaza. Protesters are marching in the streets for a hostage deal,
humanitarian aid and a permanent end to this horrific war.

Tomorrow, we’ll be joined by some of those advocates on the ground: A
hostage family member, a combat soldier refusing to return to Gaza and a
peace activist rallying Israelis to call for an end to the war.

We’ll talk about the shift that’s happening, how far it might go and
whether it can truly bring an end to this catastrophe.

We’re honored to be joined by:

* Alana Zeitchik, Israeli-American hostage advocate, writer and
executive director of The Narrow Bridge Project based in Brooklyn, NY;
her cousin’s husband David Cunio and his brother, Ariel Cunio, remain
held hostage in Gaza, and she has been vocal in her public opposition
to the Israeli government, which has failed to prioritize their
release.
* Max Kresch, a combat soldier who made the courageous decision to
refuse to return to duty in Netanyahu’s war in Gaza, leading the
movement Soldiers for the Hostages, a growing wave of soldiers and
reservists saying “enough.”
* Shir Nosatzki, a peace advocate and Director of Have You Seen the
Horizon Lately?, an Israeli initiative seeking to promote Jewish-Arab
political partnership, who has been on the frontlines of mass
mobilizations calling for an end to the war, release of all hostages
and recognition of the humanity and suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.

Alongside offering us an on-the-ground look at the growing Israeli support
for a war-ending hostage deal – and the plummeting support for Netanyahu –
our guests will take us behind the curtain on Israeli public opinion: How
much news and outcry is breaking through in Israel? What does the public
make of starvation in Gaza? How are activists pushing back against the
far-right calling for permanent occupation and mass displacement?
