However, beneath the surface, the country is facing deep divisions. The old guard, consisting of socialist secular elites and idealists, is fading away, and the state's democratic foundations are being called into question. With a population of nine million, Israel is a vibrant and diverse nation, yet a sense of security and normalcy remains elusive.

In The Land of Hope and Fear, you'll meet a diverse range of Israelis, including Jews and Arabs, the religious and the secular, Eastern and Western influences, liberal thinkers and passionate zealots.
