Israel at war: Join the ToI Community for a special live update TODAY

Editor David Horovitz and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman on an Oct. 25 webinar to drill down on what is happening in Israel – politically, diplomatically and militarily

The unprecedentedly brutal attacks by Hamas on Israel on October 7 have seen 1,400 killed — largely civilians — and over 212 hostages taken to Gaza. While the world focuses on bringing the hostages back alive, Israel faces an increasingly difficult task of toppling the Hamas regime in Gaza without sparking an international backlash.

Walking this diplomatic tightrope has never been more challenging, even as Israel’s support for its political leadership remains conflicted after these horrific attacks were perpetrated on the government’s watch.

To discuss what this watershed moment means for the future of the country and to answer your questions at this difficult time, The Times of Israel’s editor David Horovitz and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman come together for a live Behind the Headlines webinar moderated by deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan this Wednesday, October 25, exclusively for Times of Israel Community members.
