India-Israel Nexus aims to deepen ties between the two democracies

In this episode, India-Israel Nexus co-founder Paushali Lass shares her extraordinary journey from India to Germany to becoming a fierce international advocate for Israel. She recounts how being kidnapped on her first day in Israel strengthened, rather than weakened, her commitment to exposing misinformation about the Jewish state.

Lass also discusses rising antisemitism in Germany, the unique history of India’s Jewish community and why India and Israel are forging one of the world’s most promising partnerships.

“The Quad” is a dynamic weekly panel show hosted by Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israel’s innovation envoy and former deputy mayor of Jerusalem.

With Fleur at the helm, “The Quad” features regular co-hosts, including Shoshana Keats-Jaskel, founder of Chochmat Nashim; journalist and human-rights activist Emily Schrader and other leading voices shaping conversation and change.

Through sharp analysis, diverse perspectives and unapologetic commentary, “The Quad” confronts the complex political, cultural and social challenges facing Israel and the Jewish people. Each episode cuts through noise and narrative spin to deliver insight and debate, and to empower female perspectives on issues that define our time.
