In this episode, MirYam Institute In-House Analyst Yaakov Lappin and I review the events and repercussions of the October 7th massacre on this three-year commemoration. 

We discuss the sacrifices, losses, multi-front military operations, the hostage crisis, and Israel’s shift from managing threats to destroying threats.

Our conversation concludes with a focus on strategic optimism, including an examination of how Israeli society has demonstrated long-term resolve and forged a new generation of civilians, defined by unfathomable courage and heroism.
