Hi everybody this is Gatsad for the sad truth today I have Mikhail Cutler

Wunsch I had to practice that one or two times to get it right but apparently my

pronunciation is not too bad She is the Israeli special envoy to combat anti-Semitism.

That strikes me as a very, very large job and if she's able to actually succeed at that,

then she should be booking her trip to Stockholm to receive the

Nobel Peace Prize. But short of that, bon courage, as we say in French. She's also a lawyer by training,

did an LLCM, a master's in law at one of my alma

mothers at McGill and is now pursuing a PhD in issues that I've talked about

often, you know, it of speech and so on.

Anything else you want to add quickly, Mikhail, before we delve into some difficult subjects?

Yeah, no, and just, you know, my hometown of Montreal, my second home that I love so dearly,

first home, second home, and I miss this season probably most than any others and there are days that in this crazy reality I miss them even more.

Yeah, I always scoff at someone who says they miss the seasons from the comfort of a warm place. I understand

that Israel is going through a very difficult period right now, but you know

someone who lives in Southern California should not utter such comments.

Someone who lives in Ranao Israel should not,

because winter is coming and it's gonna befall me soon.

I know, I know.

I remember it well. It's just the leaves the foliage that I miss.

Very true. You're right. Okay, so maybe we could start with just an overview of

where we are in the current unfolding tragedy anything that you can tell us.

You're currently in Israel, correct?
