Jewish Book Week presents Making Israel’s History: Behind Closed Doors

From Golda Meir’s sleepless nights before the Yom Kippur War to Benjamin Netanyahu’s relentless power struggles, Channel 12 News chief political correspondent Amit Segal takes us inside the moments where history was made in real time. With unprecedented access, his international bestseller A Call at 4AM: Thirteen Prime Ministers and the Crucial Decisions that Shaped Israeli Politics reveals the gripping, untold story of governing a nation that never knows a quiet day. One of Israel’s most influential journalists shows how its leaders manage crises while fighting for political survival.
