Haaretz Senior Correspondent and Author of My Promised Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel

Ari Shavit is a leading Israeli columnist and writer. With the recent publication of his internationally acclaimed book My Promised Land, he has become one of the most talked about and influential authors of 2014. While My Promised Land became a New York Times best seller and was described by its literary critic as one of the best 10 books of the year, it won outstanding acclaim, created an unprecedented buzz and was perceived as a game changer that is required reading for anyone engaged with Israel, with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and with the Middle East. Community leaders of different political persuasions have described it as a formative book which totally transformed their understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Zionist project, modern Jewish history and the Geo-politics of the Middle East.
