Where are you going, Israel?

Israelis wave flags as they take part in the annual Jerusalem Day march, amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, June 5, 2024.

The head of International Affairs, Francesc Millan, spent a week in Israel speaking with local people—both ordinary people and experts and analysts—and explains the paradoxes of a complex, divided society that has learned to live with war. In this Sunday's dossier, we analyze how Israeli lobbies operate in Europe and what strategies they use to impose their narrative. We also show how Western and other cultural intellectuals and philosophers analyze the situation.
