| Dear John, Touching a year since the Hamas assault of October 7, 2023, and the subsequent Gaza war, there's never been such a critical time to keep up-to-date with accurate reporting and exacting analysis about Israel, the Palestinians and the Middle East. What happens here matters. It matters because this conflict, unprecedented in its scope and savagery, has capsized the lives of Israelis and Palestinians. It matters because of the political, diplomatic and social repercussions across the region and globally, including its impact on the U.S. presidential election. It matters because, under cover of the war, the Netanyahu government is continuing its assault on liberal democracy and civil society in Israel. Amidst a wartime deluge of fake news and superficiality, what you read matters. That's why we at Haaretz are committed to bringing you news you can trust – news that is sharp, timely and meticulously accurate, rooted in decades of on-the-ground expertise and an unflinching commitment to free and independent journalism.
