It’s been a busy few weeks in the news business. I just wanted to take a moment to praise the hard and excellent work of our global reporting team — Ben Sales and Marcy Oster (Israel), Cnaan Liphshiz (Europe), Uriel Heilman (New York), Ron Kampeas (Washington), and Anthony Weiss (Los Angeles) — and our editors Daniel Treiman, Marc Brodsky, Julie Wiener and Ben Harris. These pieces will help you make sense of the Gaza conflict and how it’s been impacting Israel, the U.S.-Israel relationship and Jewish communities worldwide.
