Welcome, Idit!

At NIF we are continuing to raise funds to provide urgently needed humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. To learn more and to donate, visit www.nif.org/nifs-campaig...
“The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a globally recognised organisation that classifies the severity of food insecurity and malnutrition, found that three key thresholds for famine had been met, signalling a major escalation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza."
NIF is appalled by the announcement by Israel’s security cabinet that it will go along with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s scheme to fully re-occupy Gaza. We stand with all those standing up to this government and demanding a better future for all.

Mickey Gitzin, NIF Director in Israel, on the real purpose of the war:
"When a sitting cabinet minister says, 'All of Gaza will be Jewish' or that the Strip must be 'erased'—those are not slips of the tongue. They are warnings."

As reporter Emmanuelle Elbaz-Phelps explains in a recent episode of the New York Times podcast, the Daily, cracks may be starting to form in the wall Israeli journalists have built around their reporting.
Nearly a thousand people gathered yesterday outside of Trump Hotel in New York City to call for an end to this terrible war, to mass starvation, to Israelis in captivity, to overwhelming destruction. NIF was so proud to join so many in the Jewish community to say loudly and clearly: let Gaza live!
ICYMI Adi Ronen Argov, winner of our 2025 Truth to Power Award, spoke with Haaretz about what it’s been like to document—in painful, gut-wrenching detail—the impact of this war on those who she calls the “forcibly involved," including and especially, children.

Proud to stand with T’ruah rabbis who were outside of the Israeli Consulate in NYC on Monday protesting the starvation of Gazans. ✊
Today we are mourning Awdah Al-Hathaleen, a fearless Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta. Awdah was murdered yesterday by Israeli extremist settler Yinon Levi.
We owe it to Awdah to keep fighting for accountability and justice.

“People debate starving or deporting Gaza’s residents on television as if these are legitimate options,” said Michael Sfard, an Israeli human rights lawyer. “But a different voice is trying to penetrate the almost unified public discourse."

Hundreds marched through the streets of central Tel Aviv last night carrying sacks of flour and photos of Palestinian children in Gaza in a protest organized by Standing Together.

ACRI's Executive Director Noa Sattath:
"We need a combination of forces to extricate ourselves from the moral abyss into which we have tumbled."

Hungry people waiting for food should not be shot at. Period.
May this violence come to an end, may all the hostages be released, and may Gazan civilians—mothers, fathers, grandparents, children and babies—be allowed respite from this nightmare they have been living.

As we've said all along: this war is not about keeping Israelis safe.

Argov fearlessly documents incidents of violence, clashes, home demolitions, and human rights violations in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

TODAY at 11am in Washington DC!
Be there if you can to send this concise message to Bibi and DJT ahead of their meeting.
Together with @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social, @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social, @truahrabbis.bsky.social, @newisraelfund.bsky.social, and @unxeptable.bsky.social.
As Trump and Netanyahu meet today in the White House, and those who care about the future of all people in the Middle East hope against hope for news of a Gaza ceasefire, Aaron David Miller, NIF board member, reflects on why he supports NIF. We are, he says, "Idealists without illusions."
Four water tankers arrived in Ras al-Ain today—a community that has not had access to water for two months.
We are proud to support this work, stand with these activists, and be in solidarity with struggling Palestinian communities in the West Bank.
This week, NIF approved an emergency grant for Rabbis for Human Rights to bring water, food, medical equipment, and fuel to Palestinian communities in the West Bank that have been under siege since the start of the war with Iran.
As Iran responds to Israel’s attacks, the NIF community around the world is feeling deeply anxious and concerned for our colleagues, friends and family in Israel, Jewish and Palestinian. for innocents in Iran and throughout the region. We pray that the voices of peace and reconciliation will prevail
“This is not a matter of left or right. It is a matter of conscience. It is a matter of Jewish values. It is a matter of democratic values.”
