Amir Tibon on October 7, three years on - and Israel's election

Three years ago this week, Amir Tibon spent ten hours in a safe room in Kibbutz Nahal Oz with his wife and daughters while Hamas gunmen moved from house to house. They stayed there until he was rescued - by his father, a retired general, who had driven down from Tel Aviv with a pistol to get them out. Amir has now moved with his family back to the kibbutz. Jonathan talks to Tibon — Haaretz journalist and author of The Gates of Gaza — about that return, why the third anniversary feels heavier than the first two, and why he lies awake over the election on 27 October as well as over the gunfire still audible from Gaza. Is the coming vote a verdict on the failure of 7 October, or on who can stop the next one? 00:06 Conversations with Survivors: Amir Thibon 01:13 Introduction to Amir Tibon's Story 05:01 The Impact of October 7th on Amir's Family 08:52 Returning to Nahal Oz: A Journey of Resilience 13:42 Reflections on the Third Anniversary of October 7th 18:46 The Political Landscape and Future Concerns
