Wed -Virtual: The new Israeli far-right government — and the resistance to it

February 15, 2023 @ 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Join Just Vision, +972 Magazine and Local Call for a timely webinar on the new far-right Israeli government, the escalation in violence in Israel-Palestine, and the responses coming from communities on the ground.

In Israeli society, opposition to the government has grown quickly, with diverse communities — from lawyers and former judges, to LGBTQ+ rights activists, to the high tech and finance sectors — all joining the mass anti-government protests, the largest the country has seen in over a decade. Meanwhile, Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation and rule have remained defiant in the face of increased police, army and settler violence, including a recent deadly incursion on Jenin refugee camp, followed by a deadly attack on Israeli settlers in East Jerusalem.

And yet, experts and analysts remain uncertain: are we witnessing a watershed moment in Israel-Palestine, or merely a continuation of a decades-long reality of Israeli impunity and Palestinian oppression? Are the anti-government protests a call to return to the “normal” status quo of occupation and apartheid, or could they turn into a true call for change across Israel-Palestine?

We will hear from Haggai Matar, executive director of +972 Magazine, Local Call Editor Orly Noy, and Diana Buttu, legal expert, analyst, and policy advisor to Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network. The conversation will be moderated by Suhad Babaa, president and executive director of Just Vision and co-director of Local Call.
