His book \u201eThe Gates of Gaza\/ Die Tore von Gaza\u201c is not only telling the story of that terrible day on the basis of many interviews with survivors. As the Diplomatic Correspondent of the Israeli daily Ha'aretz Tibon is also looking at the bigger picture. He narrates the history of the Kibbutz from its beginnings, but he also sees October 7th as a huge failure by the Israeli government, to keep the Israeli population safe: \u201eIf Israelis in the communities near Gaza are not safe, is anyone in Israel ever safe?\u201c, he asked in an interview with the Austrian Weekly Falter. In an editorial in Ha'aretz Tibon assessed at the beginning of 2025, what impact the newly returned US President Donald Trump could have on the Middle East conflict: \"The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was a direct result of 9\/11, and Israel's war in Gaza was born out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/2024-04-18\/ty-article-static\/.premium\/what-happened-on-oct-7\/0000018e-c1b7-dc93-adce-eff753020000\">of October 7<\/a>. However, over time, both wars reached the point of bloody stalemate without a clear political horizon, fought simply for the purpose of fighting and not in service of any declared goals.\u201c Can Trump end the war in Gaza as he has promised?<br \/>\nAmir Tibon will discuss his book and the chances for an end to Israel's wars\u00a0<strong>in conversation with Tessa Syzsykowitz at Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue.  This talk is in English.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amir Tibon<\/strong>\u00a0is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for\u00a0<em>Haaretz<\/em>, Israel's paper of record, and the author of\u00a0<em>The Last Palestinian: the rise and reign of Mahmoud Abbas<\/em>\u00a0(co-authored with Grant Rumley), the first-ever biography of the leader of the Palestinian Authority. From 2017-2020, Tibon was based in Washington, DC, as a foreign correspondent for\u00a0<em>Haaretz<\/em>, and he also has served as a senior editor for the newspaper's English edition.
