This year's gala will be headlined by Lior Raz, the co-creator, and star of the Netflix series "Fauda." The show focuses on the story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from opposing perspectives. Viewers follow the story of a commander in an undercover IDF unit trying to locate Hamas terrorist Abu-Ahmed, who has murdered 143 Israelis. 

Raz is a former soldier who also served as a counterterrorist. 

The gala will be attended by about 350 people and will include speeches by members of the Israeli military. 

Funds raised at this event will go toward well-being and educational programs for Israeli soldiers, wounded veterans, and the families of fallen soldiers. For more information visit https://fidf.org/WestGala2017.
