A Path Forward: Creating a Political Horizon for Israel-Palestine

Over seven months since October 7th, J Street continues to call for the return of the hostages, increased humanitarian aid in Gaza, and an end to the war. Despite the daily turmoil, we hold onto hope for a secure and peaceful future for Israel-Palestine.

- Five steps to achieve regional security and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians, recommended by a recent J Street Policy Expert Symposium.
- Potential enablers and spoilers on the path forward.
- How the crisis plays out in Congress for Representative Casten.
- What we in the American Jewish community can do to take action and make a difference.
