ILTV News Podcast | Is Calling for Israeli-Arab Peace During War Suicidal?

Is calling for Israeli-Arab peace during a war suicidal? In this episode of the ILTV News Podcast with Maayan Hoffman, we sit down with Mika Almog, Content Manager of the People’s Peace Summit, to ask the hard questions.

 

As Israel fights a war on multiple fronts and the trauma of October 7 still reverberates, Almog and more than 60 Jewish and Arab civil society organizations launched a bold summit in Jerusalem—calling for peace, reconciliation, and a shared future. But is that dream out of touch with today’s reality?

 

Hoffman challenges Almog on everything from the size and relevance of the peace camp, to accusations of naivety and disconnection, to the risks of emboldening enemies like Hamas. Does the peace movement reflect a silent majority—or a dangerous delusion?
