Fighting fearlessly: Vivian Bercovici’s journey to Israel

“The Quad” with guest Vivian Bercovici

Fate has a way of bringing people to the place they are meant to be at the time they are needed there most.

In this special interview, “The Quad” host Fleur Hassan-Nahoum sits down with former Canadian ambassador to Israel Vivian Bercovici to discuss her journey and recent move to Israel.

They discuss some of the challenges Bercovici faced as a woman and a Jew, and how she thinks the foreign service should be changed to reflect today’s realities.

She has pledged to uphold her brother’s foreign policy legacy, including support for Israel, backing the Trump administration in the war against Iran and opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the military will prevent Hamas from rebuilding and continue hunting down every terrorist who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre.
“I’m an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, so antisemitism is why I’m here in the first place,” the mother told JNS. “To see it out in full effect in the daylight is awful.”
Ambassador Tom Barrack clarified his comments regarding Israeli control of the strategic plateau after drawing rebukes from Jerusalem and Capitol Hill.
