Israeli leaders headlined the blockbuster 2022 Haaretz-New Israel Fund Democracy Conference

Mickey Gitzen, Director of NIF in Israel, and many other Israeli leaders spoke at Haaretz’s Conference for Democracy. Gitzin and others reflected on the rise of populism and the current state of Israeli democracy.

Supporters worldwide signed a statement – published as a full page ad in Haaretz – demonstrating the depth of support for an Israel that lives up to values of liberal democracy.

A number of right wing politicians cancelled their participation this week in the Haaretz Conference on Democracy ostensibly because of NIF’s participation. See the ad that Haaretz ran in response.
