The Israel on Campus Coalition (ICC) hosted the 2026 National Leadership Summit, its largest-ever pro-Israel student conference, in Washington, D.C. on August 2-4, 2026. There were over 800 students from 200 different colleges from across the nation.

Our summer intern, Payton Einhorn, and this year’s Israel Gap Year scholarship recipient, Ori Koblentz, attended and learned about the grief and advocacy of Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin, parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Hersh is the young Israeli-American who was abducted by Hamas from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023 and later murdered in captivity.

We also heard from speakers Senator John Fetterman, Ron Dermer, the former Minister of Strategic Affairs of Israel, Miss Israel, influencers, athletes, and many more.

Learning more about the state of Israel after October 7th and the hardships students have faced on college campuses across the nation was incredibly important to hear. It served as motivation for student leaders to learn the tools and resources to combat antisemitism on campus and support Israel at our colleges.
