A Conversation with Congressman Joaquin Castro
Samstag, 16. Nov. 2026 20:00 Uhr – Anmeldung
Settlement growth in the West Bank is at an all-time high, and existing US pressure has failed to deter it.
The Stop the Settlements Act, recently introduced by Representatives Castro, Dean, Beyer, Casar, Jacobs, and Escobar, is groundbreaking legislation to push back against settlement expansion. It uses sanctions to impose consequences for settlement growth in the West Bank and Gaza, and applies trade restrictions on settlement goods.
Join Congressman Joaquin Castro and NJN’s Hadar Susskind for a conversation about why this bill matters now, how it fits into the broader struggle to change Israeli government policies, and what role the US can play in advancing peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
Congressman Castro is a Democratic Representative from San Antonio, Texas. Now in his seventh term in the U.S. House of Representatives, Joaquin serves as a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Hadar Susskind is President and CEO of New Jewish Narrative, a national Jewish organization that champions peace, justice, and human dignity.
