After almost three months of war with Hamas, Israel is shifting into a new phase of armed conflict in parts of the Gaza Strip.

Questions about the day after the war loom large even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promises that it won’t end in the near future. Some 129 hostages are still captive in Gaza — not all of them alive — and even after three months, Israel continues to identify and bury its over 1,200 dead.

Many feel Israel has lost on the battlefield of world opinion, even as another conflict looms large in the north.

The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing podcast has released episodes every day since — and including — October 7 when the Hamas murderous rampage and its consequences were still unfolding. To mark the close of three years of audio news updates, we bring together the guests from the original episode and give you a behind-the-scenes look at how the episodes are made.

To discuss what the current 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 senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur join deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a Behind the Headlines webinar this Thursday, January 4, exclusively for Times of Israel Community members.

After the podcast episode for the general public finishes, we will continue the special Community-only video edition and answer your questions.
