Mission briefings
Briefings for federation and donor missions in Jerusalem
For groups visiting Israel: a briefing from the editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post on what is happening in the country this week, and what to make of it.
What the briefing covers
Each briefing is built around the news of the week your group is here, and the questions your participants arrive with. Usual ground:
- The political picture, including the October 2026 election and the government that follows it
- Security, the war, and its aftermath
- Israeli society: the arguments over religion, military service, and the economy
- How Israel is covered abroad, and how to read the coverage you see at home
