Description
At the MBJCC - An Evening with Yaakov Katz – Author of While Israel Slept
You don’t want to miss this incredible evening with Yaakov Katz, former editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post, in conversation about his powerful nee book: While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East. The event will take place on Monday, October 20, 7:30 pm.
This book reveals through a detailed examination of the events leading up to October 7, 2023, the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled this devastating invasion. It takes readers back in time, showing how years of complacency, mistaken intelligence analysis, and a misguided policy of containment enabled Hamas to prepare for an assault that Israel did not believe was possible and that would change the Middle East.
Yaakov Katz is the former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post. He writes for Newsweek and The Jewish Chronicle, hosts the JPPI weekly podcast and has appeared on CNN and BBC. He is the author of Shadow Strike and the coauthor with Amir Bohbot of Weapon Wizards.
