What's happening at the Institute
"The Unknown Ethics Mechanism of the Knesset: formation and institutionalization, 1949-1959" - Talk with Dr. Shlomi Balaban
Please join the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at 1:30 PM ET for a talk with Dr. Shlomi Balaban.
About the talk
Dr. Balaban will argue that the members of the Knesset established a mechanism for dealing with mutual complaints, a kind of early version of the Ethics Committee, already in 1949. This mechanism developed and was institutionalized during the first decade of the Knesset's activity and dealt with ethics in its meaning as appropriate behaviour between Knesset members or between Knesset members and the Speaker of the Knesset.

"Gaza: The War Over Words and Over Who Rules Palestine" - Talk with Professor Donna Robinson Divine
On Monday, March 18, 2024, the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies hosted a virtual talk with Professor Donna Robinson Divine.
About the talk:
Hamas has already won a victory for its barbarity by stirring up a mass movement committed to the glory of its cause: daily demonstrations denounce not only Israeli military actions but also the support extended to the Jewish state by America and by several European countries. My talk will address how and why Hamas’ 7 October brutality faded so quickly from public consciousness.
