Israel & Gaza - A Humane Perspective from the Heart of the Conflict

A year on from the brutal attack by Hamas on Israel and with escalating violence in the region, Mary Adams speaks with Yael Treidel and Moshe Haas from Hadera, Israel. Yael, an author, translator, social and political activist, has been involved with Women Wage Peace since 2014. She works for a medical NGO responsible for driving hundreds of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza for medical treatment in Israel. Working closely with Palestinian women, Yael and others in WWP have long pushed for a just, political settlement between Israel and Palestine. Her debut novel, When the Water Rises, was published in 2022.

Moshe Haas is married to Yael. He’s Israeli born to a Polish and Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivors/refugees. A professional Violinist and Singer, Moshe has lived for most of his life in Israel, but also lived, studied, worked for many years outside of Israel. He is currently working as a regular member of the Israeli Opera Chorus in Tel-Aviv. Moshe has been an active supporter of the peace movement in Israel for decades, especially for a diplomatic solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
