Twenty years after Israel’s disengagement from Gaza, Where Were You During the Disengagement? reflects on the country’s shifting reality following Hamas’s October 7th attacks and the ensuing war. The withdrawal -ordered by the government, Knesset, and Supreme Court -remains an ideological, democratic, social, and political fracture. The uprooting of 8,800 settlers from Gaza and the northern West Bank continues to shape life today.
As public debate intensifies amid political turmoil and national unrest, the film delves into the emotional and ideological scars of the Disengagement era. For many Israelis, the event marked a painful turning point. The film follows those whose lives were transformed, exploring division, betrayal, and the elusive hope of unity.
A deeply human and political journey that reveals how one decision continues to define Israel - past, present, and future.
