The Gates of Gaza

A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands

By: Amir Tibon

A gripping first-person account of how one Israeli grandfather helped rescue two generations of his family on October 7, 2023—a saga that reveals the deep tensions and systemic failures behind Hamas's attacks that day. On the morning of October 7, Amir Tibon and his wife were awakened by mortar rounds exploding near their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a progressive Israeli community less than a mile from Gaza City. Soon, they were holding their two young daughters in the family’s reinforced safe room, urging them not to cry as gunfire echoed just outside the door. With his cell phone battery running low, Amir texted his father: “The girls are behaving really well, but I’m worried they’ll lose patience soon and Hamas will hear us.” Some 45 miles north, Amir’s parents had just cut short an early morning swim along the shores of Tel Aviv. Now, they jumped in their Jeep and sped toward Nahal Oz, armed only with a pistol but intent on saving their family at all costs. In The Gates of Gaza, Amir Tibon tells this harrowing story in full for the first time. He describes his family's ordeal—and the bravery that ultimately led to their rescue—alongside the histories of the place they call home and the systems of power that have kept them and their neighbors in Gaza in harm’s way for decades. Woven throughout is Tibon's own expertise as a longtime international correspondent, as well as more than thirty original interviews: with residents of his kibbutz, with the Israeli soldiers who helped to wrest it from the hands of Hamas, and with experts on Gaza, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the failed peace process. More than one family's odyssey, The Gates of Gaza is the intimate story of a tight-knit community and the broader saga of war, occupation, and hostility between two national movements—a conflict that has not yet extinguished the enduring hope for peace.

No Retreat

How to Secure Israel for Generations to Come

By: Amir Avivi

Foreword by Avigdor Kahalani This book was written out of boundless love for our country, the State of Israel, and shines a spotlight on life in the Land of Israel. There isn’t a single person among us with his head screwed on who isn’t concerned for the future of our existence here. The developments in the region around us keep us awake at night. Our state depends on those citizens who bear the burden, but even those who do not carry the proverbial stretcher on their shoulders have to find a place underneath it. Every citizen of Israel and the diaspora must play a role in keeping the country safe, respecting our differences and each other’s values. Amir Avivi is part of Israel’s beautiful vista and I consider him a symbol of love for our homeland. He has taken on an extremely difficult task: to lead a movement that voices concern for our country’s future and, at the same time, work to deepen citizens’ confidence and faith in our abilities and power. Only someone with such deep roots, and so full of love, can express such concerns about the future while articulating a sweeping, meaningful vision. This book guides us with tremendous skill through scenarios that might seem farfetched and at times downright fantastical. But this reality check is supremely important, because these possible future scenarios—scenarios that are scarcely imaginable—pose a concrete threat to our existence here in Israel. The vision that this book articulates is based on a clear-eyed view of the reality unfolding in front of our eyes in the Middle East. Let’s open our eyes together, start reading, get into the weeds, and prepare for our common future here—lest we become yet another nation that failed to safeguard its land and historical heritage. The State of Israel has been blessed with sons and daughters who have proudly passed on the Zionist torch from generation to generation. It’s our job to make sure that legacy keeps getting handed down.
