Shany Mor is a former Director for Foreign Policy on the Israeli National Security Council. In this video he examines Israel’s experience of disengagement from the territories. He mines each different experience for usable lessons for peacemakers, especially regarding three policy options: Israeli civilian presence or absence, continued IDF military freedom of action or total military withdrawal, international involvement and support or international indifference. He also offers suggestions for immediate Israeli policy moves which could help keep the two-state paradigm alive.

Voice of the Week
Our Voice of the Fortnight is from the Times of Israel's 'Wartime Diaries' podcast. In the immediate aftermath of October 7th, Shai Davidai – an Assistant Professor at Columbia University – became an unlikely public defender of Israel. And truthfully, even he was surprised by this turn of events: As a committed left-wing Israeli, he had spent years criticizing the government, and often took to the streets to demonstrate against its policies. But the atmosphere he witnessed on college campuses (and specifically on his own campus at Columbia), compelled him to speak up and speak out.
