Israel After the War: A Zoom Talk and Q and A with Sam Sokol, Times of Israel’s Political Correspondent
Join The Times of Israel’s political correspondent Sam Sokol for a discussion of where Israel is headed after the end of two years of war against Hamas. As Jerusalem faces a tenuous ceasefire in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition is pushing through a series of bills aimed at weakening the judicial system, tightening control over the media, and exempting the ultra-Orthodox from military service. As it prepares for the next Knesset election, Israel now finds itself at an inflection point, both domestically and abroad.
Sam Sokol is the Times of Israel’s political correspondent. He was previously a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and Haaretz. He is the author of “Putin’s Hybrid War and the Jews” and the winner of the 2015 B’nai B’rith World Center Award for Excellence in Diaspora Reportage. Originally from New York, he moved to Israel in 2005 and enlisted in the IDF’s Netzach Yehuda battalion.
