Prof. Meirav Aharon Gutman discusses the concepts of GALILEAN CONSCIOUSNESS and COLLECTIVE TRAUMA, noting that 61,000 residents have been evacuated. Those remaining are also suffering from the situation. The crisis has severely impacted education and culture in the north, even in communities that were not evacuated, and there is no clear timeline for residents to return home. Prof. Aharon Gutman suggests a new social deal to leverage the opportunities in the northern region for urban renewal and optimal growth.
