'Diary of a Crisis' explores the past tumultuous and traumatic year in Israel-Palestine. The eminent historian Saul Friedlander began a diary of Israeli politics in January 2023 as the country was convulsed by protests against Netanyahu's attempt to overhaul the judiciary. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against this threat to democracy. But the protests said nothing about the Palestinian question - the 'elephant in the room,' according to the author, who resumed his diary after Hamas's 7 October assault on southern Israel. Israel was facing one of the worst crises in its history, he observes, under the worst possible internal conditions. He weaves together profound reflections on a national history in which he has been an active participant.
