Dear Colleagues,
We, the leaders of Israeli universities and research institutions, write to express deep concern over the disourse emanating from academia following the devastating Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 and the inadequate response, in many cases, by academic leadership.
[Jerusalem, October 26th] – Over 1,000 leading experts from various fields, including social work, psychology, criminology, law, medicine, and public policy, have joined their voices to urgently call upon the international community to take immediate action in securing the release of Israeli abducted children. The experts believe that every moment that passes increases the risk of irreversible damage to the lives of these innocent children.
Amid the ongoing conflict, the Hebrew University Veterinary Hospital in Beit Dagan has been tirelessly working to save and rehabilitate dozens of dogs and cats that have come to them.
One of the dogs under their care is Mika, a 7-year-old mixed breed from Kibbutz Nir Oz. When the attack on the kibbutz commenced, she sought refuge in a safe room with her family, including a couple and three small children. When Hamas militants attempted to breach the secure door and resorted to gunfire, Mika was injured in her back.
For nearly three weeks, Israel has grappled with confrontations from both the south and, more recently, the north. What does it mean for Israel to engage on two fronts? And could there be yet another arena to the east?
Join us for an insightful Hebrew University Zoom Webinar titled "Israel-Gaza-Lebanon: Where Are We Going?," on Sunday, 29th October 2023 18:30 IT (/17:30 CET), featuring our distinguished faculty members:
