Today, more than ever

It was a pleasure to host candidates from The Demokratim party and the wonderful who led the discussion. We had the opportunity to hear about their agenda, their plans, and the ongoing preparations for the upcoming elections.

The Demokratim are presenting a bold vision for an equal and democratic society, alongside a diplomatic and peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which they see as both a moral imperative and a security necessity. Achieving this will require broad cooperation and partnership across the different parties opposing to Netanyahu and his coalition.

With elections expected to be announced soon, Israel will heading toward one of the most consequential moments in its history.

Thank you, , and for visiting us and making this important conversation possible! We hope to see you all in the Knesset soon 🤞

“To understand the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, you need to understand it from both sides”

Yesterday, we had the honour of hosting Samer Sinijlawi, a long-time Palestinian activist who has spent years engaging with Israeli society across the political spectrum. A committed advocate of the two-state solution, Samer is willing to speak with anyone open to dialogue and to build partnerships - even in the most unexpected places. He knows how urgent it is to ensure a fair, just, and secure future for both Palestinians and Israelis.

He believes both Palestinians and Israelis urgently need new and courageous leadership that would be driven by democratic values and he also reminded us that change depends on all of us: challenging leaders, raising our voices, and demanding a better future.

Thank you, , for inspiring us with your stories and vision, and for leading such a thoughtful conversation.

Thanks to everyone who joined us, and to our partners - , , , , , and , for helping make this event possible.

Big thanks to Noeleen Cohen, Chair of and Rabbi , Co-Lead of for your wise words, to for the beautiful music, and to the brilliant team for the warm hospitality and attention to detail.

Yesterday, Sky News covered renewed pro-democracy, anti-government and anti-war demonstrations in Jerusalem. The protest took place alongside a large demonstration in Tel Aviv - the biggest since the start of the war with Iran, following the lifting of restrictions on public gatherings.

Chants of “demokratia” can be heard in the background, while protesters explain they are taking to the streets because they “see (their) country turning into a fascist dictatorship” and fear that Israel is already moving toward an authoritarian regime.

One protester added:�“You make enemies into allies. You make peace. You do diplomacy. You don’t go to war time after time. Our prime minister has said his vision is that we will live forever by the sword. I’m not going in that direction.”

Toward the end, the report also features a counter-protester who supports Benjamin Netanyahu, and the contrast in rhetoric is striking.

It’s significant to see a mainstream international outlet covering a protest movement that has continued since the current government came to power in January 2023, persisting even through wartime, and becoming one of the longest-running and most consistent protest movements in Israel’s history.

Following a sold-out January event with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a coalition of British Jewish communal organisations continues to bring leading voices from the Middle East to encourage an open, informed, and pluralistic conversation.

This time, we’re hosting *Samer Sinijlawi* - a rising Palestinian political voice advocating for partnership, peace, and a better future for Palestinians and Israelis.

✨ We’re thrilled to welcome Makam Salam, a London-based collective of Middle Eastern diaspora musicians, who will be performing live at the reception from 6pm 🎶

Join us for an evening of conversation, community, and music. This is a rare chance to hear directly from someone helping shape the political conversation on the ground.
