À propos de cet audio

 The gripping true story of how leading Israeli journalist Amir Tibon, along with his wife and their two young children, were rescued from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7, 2023 by Tibon’s own father—an incredible tale of survival that also reveals the deep tensions and systemic failures that led to 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A riveting minute by minute account of one of Israel’s darkest days, Amir Tibon’s telling of his family’s horrific ordeal — hiding for hours while terrorists overtook his kibbutz — is captivating. His father’s heroic mission to rescue them, woven together with the storied and bloodied history of the kibbutz, makes for a remarkable read.”—Bianna Golodryga, Anchor and Senior Global Affairs Analyst, CNN
“Amir Tibon has captured the horror and hope of October 7 in this compelling story of Hamas’ murderous rampage across southern Israel, of his family’s agonizing experience in their safe room while terrorists roamed outside, and of the heroism of his father, Noam, who came to their rescue. The Gates of Gaza would be an engrossing read if it were fiction; the fact that it is a true story is simply extraordinary.”—Daniel Kurtzer, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel and Egypt

This book was far more than I was expecting. It want much beyond just the author's experience of the horror of 10/7 and recounted a meaningful history of the region without getting lost in the woods or mired in nuance. It was really well put together. On top of that, the narration by the author himself was excellent and gripping.

Powerful and informative

Amir shares his personal story of being rescued by his father on Oct 7th while intertwining the history of Nachal Oz. A must read for anyone grappling with understanding what happened on Oct. 7, especially those who struggle with finding empathy for the Israeli perspective. Kol HaKavod Amir. Your story brought me to tears many times.

Excellent written on a very sobering account on the history and events before and after Oct 7 2023

Excellent account of Israel’s Oct 7 2023

I loved the story telling regarding October 7th and even enjoyed the history of politics in Israel. I really struggled with the demonization of Netanyahu, idealizing Biden who was no friend to Israel and sympathy for the "innocent Gazans" who we now know participated in raping, murdering and pillaging the Jewish people. I was more than halfway through the book when it took this terrible turn and left a bad taste in my mouth. I will always have mixed feelings about this book.

incredible storytelling, really problematic political commentary
