Nadine Epstein: “The major difference between 2017 and 2025 is that we have now fully entered the strongman era in the United States, with Trump at its center. Given his strongman approach, now evident for all to see, Trump will do his utmost to use his power, and powers many of us believe the executive branch does not possess, to turn Gaza into what he envisions.” Unpacking the differences between two Trump and Bibi press conferences, eight years apart. https://momentmag.com/trump-bibi-press-conferences/

About Moment

Moment is a fiercely independent magazine that provides North American Jews with award-winning, in-depth reporting. It transcends ideology and denomination, and delves deeply into the stories that shape our lives: the future of democracy, anti-Semitism on the left and the right, intermarriage and the widening gap between American Jews and Israel.

Moment was founded in 1975 by Elie Wiesel and writer Leonard Fein. It was named after the Yiddish-language Der Moment, founded in 1910 in Warsaw, Poland. Der Moment, as Wiesel describes in Moment’s first issue, “became a massive circulation newspaper, and lived until it was murdered together with Polish Jewry.” The Moment founders promised that the magazine would include diverse opinions “of no single ideological position, save of course, for a commitment to Jewish life.” Nearly 45 years later, under the leadership of Nadine Epstein, Moment remains as independent as ever.
