Dear Andy,

As Israel continues to navigate a rapidly evolving and uncertain moment, we invite you to join JDC for a special briefing with David Horovitz, founding editor of The Times of Israel and one of Israel’s most respected journalists and commentators.

David will share his perspective on the current situation in Israel, followed by a moderated conversation. We will also briefly provide an update on JDC’s work on the ground, supporting vulnerable people and communities during this critical time.

Thursday, March 12 12:00 P.M. ET / 6:00 P.M. Israel

We hope you will be able to join this important and timely conversation.

With appreciation,

The JDC Team

David Horovitz is the founding editor of The Times of Israel. Launched in 2012 and based in Jerusalem, The Times of Israel is the world’s most-read English-language news website covering Israel and the Jewish world. Independent and non-partisan, it also publishes in Hebrew, French and Arabic.

Horovitz was previously editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post (from 2004-2011). Before that, he was editor and publisher of the award-winning newsmagazine The Jerusalem Report. In 2014, he was awarded Bnai Brith’s lifetime achievement journalism award.

Horovitz has written from Israel for newspapers around the world, and is a frequent interviewee on CNN, the BBC, Sky, and other TV and radio stations.

He has conducted landmark interviews with a succession of Israeli and international figures, including all of Israel’s recent prime ministers, Presidents Barack Obama (when he visited Israel as a candidate) and George Bush, as well as Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin and, to the particular delight of his children, Paul McCartney. In 2020, he interviewed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv. In 2025, he was the first Israeli journalist to visit Syria with the consent of the post-Assad leadership.

Horovitz is the author of 2004’s “Still Life with Bombers: Israel in the Age of Terrorism,” and 2000’s “A Little Too Close to God: The Thrills and Panic of a Life in Israel,” both published in the US by Knopf.
