What's happening at the Institute
"Gaza: The War Over Words and Over Who Rules Palestine" - Talk with Professor Donna Robinson Divine
Please join the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies on Monday, March 18, 2024 at 7:00 PM ET for a virtual talk with Professor Donna Robinson Divine.
About the talk
Hamas has already won a victory for its barbarity by stirring up a mass movement committed to the glory of its cause: daily demonstrations denounce not only Israeli military actions but also the support extended to the Jewish state by America and by several European countries. My talk will address how and why Hamas’ 7 October brutality faded so quickly from public consciousness.

Please join the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 12:00 PM ET for a virtual talk with Professor Csaba Nikolenyi.
About the talk
Israeli votes went to the polls to elect their local governments, members of their municipal councils and mayors, on February 27 and March 10. This talk will review the process and the results of these election with particular focus on the effect of the ongoing war against Hamas and implications for the constellation of political forces at the national level.
