Shabbat Afternoon Speaker: Amir Tibon — The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Survival, Conflict & Hope
Join award-winning Haaretz journalist Amir Tibon for a powerful conversation about his book, The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel’s Borderlands. On October 7th, Tibon, his wife, and their two young daughters were rescued from their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.
In his talk, Tibon will recount that harrowing experience and reflect on the broader forces at play—drawing on years of diplomatic reporting and dozens of original interviews with residents, soldiers, and regional experts. His story, featured on 60 Minutes and optioned for film by the creators of Fauda, offers a deeply personal and sobering lens on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the enduring hope for something more.
