| This episode of PeaceCast, cohosted by NJN's President and CEO Hadar Susskind and NJN and T'ruah board member Rabbi Esther Lederman, is a recording of a webinar hosted on November 18th, 2025. In the month since the Trump-brokered ceasefire went into effect, the fighting has mostly stopped and the living hostages have been returned to Israel (as have most of the deceased hostages). Yet, we’ve seen few signs of progress towards the next stages of President Trump’s 20-point plan to end the war and rebuild Gaza. Dr. Baskin is uniquely positioned to speak on these issues. His decades of experience in back-channel negotiations and peacebuilding, including as a mediator for the deal that freed Gilad Shalit in 2011, provide him with a broad network of contacts in the Israeli security establishment and among Palestinian leaders. |
