He is co-host, together with Donniel Hartman, of the Hartman Institute’s podcast, “For Heaven’s Sake” – the number one Jewish podcast in the English-speaking world.

His latest book, “Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor,” is a New York Times bestseller and has appeared in a dozen languages.

Unrest has been spreading across Israel since six hostages were found dead in a Gaza tunnel last weekend. A one-day general strike on Monday was unevenly observed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to yield to pressure on his conditions for a ceasefire. Yossi Klein Halevi, the author of “Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor,” talks with The World’s Host Marco Werman about what this moment means for Israelis.
