Summary
Former Speaker of the Israeli Knesset and former Acting President of Israel, Avrum Burg, delivers a scathing address on the Israel–Palestine conflict, the future of Israeli democracy, and the path to a lasting peace. Drawing on decades at the heart of Israeli politics, Burg reflects on the country's political direction, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, leadership, security, reconciliation, and why he believes a different future is still possible. This address explores difficult questions with honesty, nuance, and a commitment to understanding one of the world's most consequential conflicts. This was part of the Festival of Dangerous Ideas hosted by the Jewish Democratic Initiative.
