Please join us for an important emergency briefing with NIF's Israel Director, Mickey Gitzin
As the news of this ceasefire and hostage deal begins to take effect on Monday, we'll be looking to our leader on the ground to help us make sense of what will happen next, and what this will mean for Israelis and Palestinians.
We hope you will join us on Monday at 7 pm.
