The future of the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas is in doubt after Israel stopped all aid from entering the Gaza Strip. Linda Gradstein reports from Jerusalem.在以色列阻止所有援助进入加沙地带后，以色列和哈马斯之间的停火前景令人怀疑。琳达·格拉德斯坦（Linda Gradstein）在耶路撒冷报道。Israel's announcement that it is blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza through its checkpoints has caused fear andpanicbuying in Gaza's markets.以色列宣布阻止人道主义援助通过其检查站进入加沙，这在加沙市场引起了恐慌性购买。The move comes as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk and share festive meals in the evenings.此举正值穆斯林斋月开始之际，穆斯林从黎明到黄昏禁食，晚上共享节日大餐。This year's Ramadan is taking place amid massive destruction caused by 16 months of heavy fighting between Israel and the terrorist-designated Hamas.今年的斋月正值以色列和被指定为恐怖分子的哈马斯之间16个月的激烈战斗造成大规模破坏之际。Hamas seized 250 hostages in an October 7, 2023, terror attack on southern Israel, sparking a war that has left tens of thousands ofPalestinians and more than 1,700 Israelis dead.哈马斯于2023年10月7日在以色列南部发动恐怖袭击，劫持了250名人质，引发了一场战争，造成数万名巴勒斯坦人和1700多名以色列人死亡。So far, 147 hostages have been returned to Israel alive, most in two cease-fire deals with Hamas. Israel has also released some 2,000Palestinianprisoners.到目前为止，已有147名人质活着返回以色列，其中大多数是在与哈马斯达成的两项停火协议中被释放的。以色列还释放了约2000名巴勒斯坦囚犯。Hamas, Arab states, the United Nations and human rights groups have condemned the Israeli blockage of aid shipments, accusing Israel of violating the cease-fire terms.哈马斯、阿拉伯国家、联合国和人权组织谴责以色列封锁援助物资，指责以色列违反停火条款。Linda Gradstein, VOA News, Jerusalem. President Trump said on Monday that 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will go into effect on Tuesday.美国之音新闻记者琳达·格拉德斯坦在耶路撒冷报道。特朗普总统周一表示，对加拿大和墨西哥进口产品征收25%的关税将于周二生效。Reuters correspondent Jillian Kitchener reports. U.S. stocks plunged after Trump said there was no room left for a deal that would avert the tariffs by halting the flow of fentanyl into the United States.路透社记者吉莉安·基钦纳(Jillian Kitchener)报道。特朗普表示，通过停止芬太尼流入美国，达成协议以避免关税，此后美国股市暴跌。"On the tariffs, is there any room left for Canada and Mexico to make a deal before midnight?"“关于关税，加拿大和墨西哥还有商量的余地在午夜前达成协议吗？”"No room left for Mexico or for Canada. No, the tariffs, you know, they're all set."“墨西哥和加拿大都没有商量的余地。他们都已经确定了。”Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum on Monday told reporters, quote, "We maintained communication. We have made the agreements and the necessary coordination."墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆周一告诉记者，“我们保持着沟通。我们已经达成了协议并进行了必要的协调。”But she said the decision to impose tariffs rested with Trump and said Mexico was ready with a plan B, C and D.但她表示，征收关税的决定权在特朗普手中，并表示墨西哥已准备好B、C和D计划。Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday told reporters Canada should not be blamed for the amount of fentanyl in the U.S.加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多周日告诉记者，加拿大不应为美国的芬太尼数量负责。"We had about less than one percent when we first started talking about this many months ago. That number is significantly lower than that even now."“几个月前我们刚开始谈论这个问题时，我们的关税还不到1%，比现在要低得多。”Economists say that if Trump imposes 25 percent tariffs, which cover more than $900 billion worth of annual imports from Canada and Mexico, it would deal a serious setback to the highly integrated North American economy. 经济学家表示，如果特朗普征收25%的关税，涵盖每年价值超过9000亿美元的加拿大和墨西哥进口产品，这将对高度一体化的北美经济造成严重挫折。

Welcome back to the Vlog. Today, we are joined by acclaimed Egyptian journalist, activist, and labor historian Hossam el-Hamalawy to discuss his vital text out from Verso Books, Counter-Revolution in Egypt: State and Barracks.A common mistake among Western commentators is to view the regime of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as a simple replication of the old Mubarak-Sadat dictatorship. El-Hamalawy lays bare why this historical framing is fundamentally wrong: counter-revolutions do not restore old orders. They construct entirely new, hyper-militarized legal and security systems designed explicitly to correct the structural vulnerabilities that allowed the original popular revolts to happen.In this interview, we break down the explicit mechanics of Egypt's Second Republic:The Transition from Coup-Proofing to Unified Repression: How the First Republic fragmented its intelligence agencies, police, and military to prevent top-down military coups. We explore why Sisi inverted this baseline, creating a hyper-centralized, coordinated security matrix designed entirely around the dominant perceived threat of popular working-class unrest.The Civilian Corporate Monopoly: How the Egyptian military has completely captured the domestic civilian economy. We analyze why military-owned firms—selling everything from honey and furniture to real estate—enjoy absolute immunity from taxes and tariffs while utilizing conscripted soldiers as a hyper-exploited, cheap labor pool to choke out private capital.The Gulf ATM and Sovereign Assets: How Sisi leveraged European fears of black and brown refugee migration to secure multi-billion-dollar western block grants and weapons contracts. We track how the UAE and Saudi Arabia acted as a financial backstop for counter-revolution, until shifting their strategy to aggressively eat up Egypt's core logistical assets, ports, and prime real estate in exchange for debt lifelines.The Imperial Boomerang: Why the highly militarized surveillance systems tested on Arab populations are inexorably boomeranging back into the domestic borders of the United States and Europe to crush civil liberties and local climate actions.The lesson of the Arab Spring remains clear: you cannot conquer an imperial apparatus through localized, reformist abstractions. Hossam el-Hamalawy's State and Barracks Substack is available now.Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Send us Fan MailWhat's actually stressing us out and what are we just being dramatic about? In this episode, we talk about everything from major life changes and anxiety to unread emails, hosting people, washing our hair, and having way too many tabs open in our brains. We get into how we each deal with stress, the things we internalize, and why sometimes the little things feel a lot bigger than they actually are. Basically, life is stressful, but sometimes you just need to laugh, put things in perspective, and maybe go to therapy.Support the showBecome a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1786960/supportFollow us on Instagram, TikTok, and UpScrolled @ObnoxiouslyPleasantFollow us on Twitter @TheOP_Podcast

The other day, the government of Israel approved the building of a new city in the Shomron to be called SHIRA, on Highway 5, east of Rosh HaAyin, on the way to the city of Ariel. Tens of thousands of apartments will be built. On 9,500 dunams of land that will be home to over 100,000 Jews. Eastern Gush Dan. Half an hour to Tel Aviv. Next to the train.This didn't happen by accident.Smotrich and Netanyahu. A partnership that has totally changed the map of Israel like never before. Approved over 100 new communities in Judea and Samaria. New cities. Around 160 farms reclaiming the land, stopping the illegal Palestinian Authority land grab backed by EU funding. What used to take twenty years now happens in weeks. Now Smotrich has announced doing the same thing in the Negev and Galil, two areas the Arabs have been taking over, making Jews the minority, with no government pushback. He will finally take care of that too. Anyone who knows the government bureaucracy, and the deep state power that has allowed the Arab takeover of the Galil and Negev, understands how many roadblocks Smotrich has to overcome. That is the revolution. That is the vision becoming facts on the ground.And it will stop the second Israelis hand the keys of government back over to deep state powers on the political left, today being led by Eizenkot.After October 7, after the massacre, after Nova, after the country burned, too many Israelis are still ready to vote for the bloc that would make Gadi Eisenkot prime minister. The same man who, as IDF Chief of Staff, hollowed out the army and sold the country the religion of containment, belittled the Jewish concept of rising up to kill those who want to kill you, and “quiet will be met with quiet.” That doctrine didn't give us peace. It gave our enemies years to train, tunnel, arm, and walk into our homes.Eisenkot is not a leader; he's a product. No spine, no charisma, no new thinking since October 7. Just the deep state's latest packaged “savior,” sold to the public as the great hope for replacing Netanyahu.You don't honor the murdered by putting the architects of weakness back in charge.You honor them by finishing the job: more cities, more farms, more Jews on the high ground, an army that deters instead of manages.Smotrich and Netanyahu delivered the building. The other side delivered the conception.If you want Shira and the next hundred communities, they need the votes. Momentum like this is a miracle. Stopping it would be a crime.Share this. The land is being built. We can't hand the country back to the same political left security leaders who preached and practiced appeasement and failed us miserably. We need leaders who know we are facing a jihadi enemy and who have the vision to strengthen a proud Jewish State of Israel.These are redemptive times. We are living miracles in real time. There will still be ups and downs, but the trajectory is up and up, and it is breathtaking.Strengthen your emunah in Hashem. Follow me at the Pulse of Israel and share these truths. Vote with that clarity in the coming elections.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the Supreme Court's decision blocking President Trump's last minute effort to use the US Postal Service to scrutinize mail-in ballots ahead of the midterms. Bryan covers a growing legal battle over whether migrants should qualify for welfare while applying for green cards, with Democrats in 22 states suing to block a new Trump rule, plus a shocking report on a North Carolina Democrat candidate who said Trump supporters belong in Nazi ovens, and fresh CBS polling showing Democrats are driven mainly by hatred of Trump heading into November. Plus, Bryan covers a stunning Swedish election swung by Muslim and Arab immigrant voting blocs, a new Austrian law banning hijabs on schoolgirls under 14, and a Mexican cartel's crypto mining operation hidden behind a stolen hydroelectric line, along with fresh medical research linking scalding hot beverages to throat cancer.

***Adnan Husain invited me to join him and Rabab Abdulhadi for livestream conversation on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 WTC attacks. This is first hour! We continued for another hour plus! To listen to the entire episode subscribe on Patreon or watch the episode on the EIAP YouTube channel***   Friday is the 25th Anniversary of 9/11/2001 and all that followed from the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon: the launching of the "Global War on Terrorism", the wars and occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the drone campaigns across Africa and Asia, the securitization and surveillance regimes threatening political rights, the globalizing of paradigms of Islamophobia. What do imperial/imperialist commemorations "forget" as if history began on 9/11/2001 or 10/7/2023? Some talk about the GWOT as history, but has it ended? The anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect upon the last twenty five years and the contrasts and continuities with contemporary conditions.

Iraq experienced one of the most comprehensive sanctions regimes ever imposed on a country in the 20th century. Dr. Omar Dewachi explores the concept of medical anthropology and traces the history of the Iraqi healthcare system from the British mandate to the post-2003 era. This exploration highlights how political interventions and conflicts disrupted medical infrastructure and population health. Ultimately, the conversation examines the profound breakdown of the political, medical, and social systems that led to the death of the clinic and a collapse of trust. 00:00 Introduction 01:21 The Concept of Medical Anthropology 04:52 Dual Trajectories in Health and Social Contexts 06:31 A Career Shift Rooted in Wartime Experience 10:19 The True Toll of the Comprehensive Sanctions Regime 12:56 Infrastructure and the Early Construction of the State 17:53 Systemic Vulnerabilities and the Scales of Destruction 22:25 Healthcare Expansion as an Instrument of Statecraft 28:21 The Rhetoric of Progress and the Framing of Pathologies 31:47 Moving Beyond Conventional Battlefields 37:13 Bearing Witness to Systemic Ruination and Personal Loss 43:09 Challenging Michel Foucault's Framework 49:44 Unequal Knowledge and Visibility on the Global Stage 51:57 The Erosion of Sacred Alliances and the Shift to Commerce 53:41 The Geography of Regional Wounds Omar Dewachi is an Associate Professor of Medical Anthropology and Global Health at Rutgers University. His work examines the social, medical, and environmental fallouts of decades of war and violence in Iraq and the broader Middle East. Before joining Rutgers in 2018, Dewachi co-founded the Conflict Medicine Program at the American University of Beirut, where he taught social medicine and global health. His award-winning book Ungovernable Life: Mandatory Medicine and Statecraft in Iraq (Stanford University Press, 2017) documents the untold history of the rise and fall of Iraq's healthcare system under decades of US-led interventions. His ongoing project 'When Wounds Travel' weaves almost two decades of ethnographic research with his personal experience of displacement and his medical and public health practice across Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria. He holds an MD from Baghdad University, an MPH from the American University of Beirut, and a PhD in Anthropology from Harvard University. Connect with Omar Dewachi

Iranian pressure, the Strait of Hormuz, Houthi attacks, Israel's political tensions, Fauda's depiction of October 7, and a powerful Rosh Hashanah story from a freed hostage.On today's episode of the Israel Daily News Podcast, Shanna Fuld brings you the latest developments across Israel and the Middle East.Iran is accusing the United States and Austria of blocking its nuclear delegation from attending the International Atomic Energy Agency conference in Vienna, as the diplomatic relationship between Washington and Tehran remains deeply strained.We also look at reports of Chinese intelligence sharing with Iran ahead of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. base in Jordan, as President Trump prepares to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House.In Gaza, President Trump says Hamas is willing to give up its weapons, while Israel continues to insist that Hamas must disarm. The ceasefire remains fragile, with Israel and Hamas offering competing accounts of the situation on the ground.Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthi forces continue attacking Saudi Arabia. With the Houthis controlling key territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz dramatically reduced, the security of regional energy and shipping routes remains a major concern.We also examine the Israeli political debate over whether Arab-majority parties Ra'am and the Joint List should be barred from running in the upcoming October 27 election, including the legal history surrounding previous attempts to disqualify political parties.Then, a major cultural story: the fifth season of Fauda has drawn international attention for its dramatization of the October 7 massacre. The episodes have sparked strong reactions from viewers around the world, while the series' Israeli cast and production team have personal connections to the war.And we end with a powerful Rosh Hashanah story.Israel has reached its first Rosh Hashanah since October 7, 2023 without a hostage remaining in Gaza. Freed hostage Matan Angrest, who spent 738 days in Hamas captivity, returned home from a five-month trip through South America so he could celebrate the holiday with his family.His story is a reminder of what freedom means after years of captivity—and why being together with family during the holidays can carry a significance that is difficult to put into words.In this episode:Iran's dispute with the IAEA and AustriaU.S.-Iran tensions and China's alleged intelligence connectionTrump's Gaza ceasefire effortsIsrael's position on Hamas disarmamentRa'am, the Joint List and Israel's upcoming electionHouthi attacks on Saudi ArabiaThe Strait of Hormuz shipping crisisIsrael's political debate over party disqualificationsFauda's October 7 episodesRosh Hashanah and the return of freed hostage Matan AngrestSubscribe to Israel Daily News for independent reporting and analysis from Israel.

Friday Bible Study (9/4/26) // Nehemiah 6:1-14 (ESV) // Conspiracy Against Nehemiah // 6 Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates), 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do me harm. 3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” 4 And they sent to me four times in this way, and I answered them in the same manner. 5 In the same way Sanballat for the fifth time sent his servant to me with an open letter in his hand. 6 In it was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Geshem[a] also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall. And according to these reports you wish to become their king. 7 And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, ‘There is a king in Judah.' And now the king will hear of these reports. So now come and let us take counsel together.” 8 Then I sent to him, saying, “No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind.” 9 For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done.” But now, O God,[b] strengthen my hands.10 Now when I went into the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his home, he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple. Let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. They are coming to kill you by night.” 11 But I said, “Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live?[c] I will not go in.” 12 And I understood and saw that God had not sent him, but he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 For this purpose he was hired, that I should be afraid and act in this way and sin, and so they could give me a bad name in order to taunt me. 14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid.Footnotesa.

Tel Hai is a small historic site in the Galilee where, in 1920, a tense standoff between Jewish farmers and Arab fighters erupted into a deadly firefight. Among the dead was Joseph Trumpeldor, a one-armed war hero already legendary before Tel Hai. Within days, the battle became one of the founding myths of the State of Israel, immortalized by Trumpeldor's famous last words and a national narrative of sacrifice. Noam Weissman unpacks what actually happened at Tel Hai, how the myth was built and fought over, and why Yitzhak Rabin once stood at the same site decades later to argue for a very different lesson.

On this episode, we speak with Chris Doyle, head of the Center for British and Arab Understanding, and one of Britain's leading voices on this region. After six months of war with Iran, is the Middle East's old security order finally breaking down? And can Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen move beyond fragile ceasefires towards lasting peace?

Yara Khoury Nammour interviews Lebanese graphic designer and educator Leen Charafeddine. They start the conversation discussing her entry into the field of Graphic design which stemmed from her interest as a teenager in the advertising profession. Later she unrolls in the graphic design program at the Amrican University of Beirut (AUB), then goes on to receive two masters degrees from the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London and the School of Poetic Computing (SPC) in New York. After a short stint in advertising, Leen's work shifts to graphic design and creative coding.   Leen discusses in detail her work with the Lebanese children's publisher Dar Onboz. At Dar Onboz she is reintroduced to the Arabic language and script, and her interest in multidisciplinary and experiential education is triggered. This lead her to pursue an MA degree at RCA with a thesis project for teaching math in an alternative and visual way. This interest further launches her into creative coding and she joins the School for Poetic Computation in New York.   Leen talks about a few of the publication design projects she worked on with Dar Onboz, and elaborates on how she incorporated her experiences with the children in her family in these publication projects. One of the focuses in her work became teaching the Arabic language in alternative ways, and looking into playful ways to underline connections between science, art and making. After her RCA graduation she started working on a paper engineering project with her nephews and nieces that used math and building to describe how things grow in the real world. Based on that project she was approached by the Palestinian museum to create more paper engineering works for The History of Palestine Through Everyday Objects project which consisted of a series of pop-up books and a box of activities. Further collaborations with the Palestinian Museum included the Sanasel Arabic language educational online platform developed with the accessibility for the Palestinian diaspora and building connections in mind.   The conversation revolved around Leen's interest in language, mathematics, creative coding and how these can define how we see and practice design in the future. She expresses her interest in learning new skills and technologies, and using them to empower marginalised communities and amplify the voices of those that are being silenced. The conversation ends with a discussion about an Arabic coding language and the current challenges that coders face when working with Arabic typography in a dynamic way, and in real time.     @khattfoundation @khatt_chronicles @khatt_books @leencharafeddine www.khtt.net www.khattbooks.com       Leen Charafeddine is a graphic designer based in Beirut, Lebanon. Her practice is focused on creating alternative pedagogical tools. She graduated with a BA in Graphic Design from the American University of Beirut, and an MA in Visual Communications from the Royal College of Art, London. She is a self-taught creative coder in Processing, and attended online courses at The School for Poetic Computation in New York to learn OpenFrameworks.   Connect with Leen Charafeddine

Seven weeks out from an election that in many ways is a referendum on culpability for October 7th, Benjamin Netanyahu tells Channel 14 that if only they had woken him earlier that fateful day, everything would have been different — and his wife goes considerably further about Yair Golan, a man who drove towards the gunfire that morning and saved lives. Yonit and Jonathan take Mrs Netanyahu's accusation apart, then turn to the week's most improbable story: Yoav Segalovich, a Jewish former police commander, joining Mansour Abbas's Islamist party - because the crime wave destroying Israel's Arab communities needs someone with a proven ability to fix it. Plus a Channel 13 poll that should worry the anti-Netanyahu bloc; Britain's expected ban on trade in goods linked to the West Bank - and why Greece and Finland moved in the other direction.Our Chutzpah award goes to a perennial winner with a new map, and the Mensch of the Week award is split three ways between brothers. 00:00:00 a US-Iran war nobody is calling a war 00:03:39 Netanyahu on Channel 14: if only they had woken me up 00:08:03 Yair Golan, October 7th, and a smear the hosts reject 00:14:26 Netanyahu's advisors, the pool party and the Qatar accusations 00:17:50 The Channel 13 poll and the shape of the Israeli right 00:22:54 Yoav Segalovich joins Mansour Abbas and Ra'am 00:30:27 Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Ron Dermer and the hostage families 00:35:39 Britain, the E1 corridor, and why Greece and Finland moved 00:39:09 Chutzpah of the Week and Mensch of the Week

Arab-Muslim discussion and interviews with hosts Samar Jarrah and Ahmed Bedier.

For years, Israelis have been told to dream about peace and normalization with Saudi Arabia. Imagine Israel, Saudi Arabia and the moderate Sunni states standing together against their common enemy: the Shiite jihadi regime of Iran.But that dream may be turning into a strategic nightmare.The Middle East is shifting again. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan, a nuclear country, are developing deeper security ties, while the possibility of broader regional arrangements involving Iran has reportedly been discussed. At the same time, Muslim governments, including countries that have relations with Israel, continue finding common ground in publicly condemning Israel.Israelis need to wake up to a fundamental truth about the Middle East: agreements are valuable, but unreliable long-term. Deterrence is indispensable.I supported the Abraham Accords, and Israel should pursue agreements with every Arab and Muslim government willing to work with us. But we cannot confuse today's shared interests with permanent alliances, or build Israel's survival upon diplomatic promises, in an Arab Muslim world educated on 1,400+ years of jihad.Iran was once Israel's strategic partner. Turkey once enjoyed close military relations with Israel. Today, both are our biggest enemies. Alliances change. Interests change. As Middle East expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar once told me: agreements in the Middle East are like “sand in the wind.”This is also why total victory matters.Israel has achieved extraordinary military successes against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. But decisive victory means creating a strategic reality in which every government in the region understands that attacking Israel carries an unbearable price, and that Israel is the strongest, most dependable power in the neighborhood.That is real deterrence.Make agreements. Celebrate normalization. Expand the Abraham Accords. But Israel must never surrender strategic territory, sacrifice defensible borders or entrust Jewish survival to international guarantees in exchange for promises of peace.The Jewish people returned home after 2,000 years to determine our own destiny.Strength creates deterrence. Deterrence prevents war. And a grounded, proud Jewish nation with strength, unapologetic about being back in our ancestral homeland, ultimately creates the conditions for real peace.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Ruling out a nuclear option, US President Donald Trump on Monday vowed a response to Iran’s overnight strikes on US forces in Jordan, as tensions again ramped up between the sides after a monthlong lull in fighting. Horovitz brings us up to speed with what is happening -- and not -- with the war right now. Some 2.6 million students and preschoolers returned to school Tuesday morning at some 28,000 institutions around the country, as Israel marked the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year. Horovitz delves into some of the challenges the system faces and how critical it is to overhaul it. Ra’am party head Mansour Abbas and Yoav Segalovitz — a Jewish, Zionist former police official, lawmaker and deputy minister — announced Monday evening that Segalovitz will run with Ra’am, an Arab party, in the October 27 election. We hear about the reasons for the merger as well as its immediate blowback. Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insinuated without evidence in an interview aired Monday that left-wing politician Yair Golan had advance notice of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, onslaught. Of course, this drew a furious response from Golan's Democrats Party, but could the Israeli public believe this conspiracy theory? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Hidden dynamics of anti-colonialism come to light when exploring the Syrian revolt of 1925 through a transnational lens. Associate Professor & Author Reem Bailony shares insights from her book, examining how the diaspora politics of the Syrian migrant community in the US connected to homeland politics and redefined identity during the French mandate. By centering on the often-overlooked diasporic story and the role of the Arabic press, the conversation unpacks the intense debate around the rebellion's virtues, goals, and shifting meanings. Ultimately, this episode reveals how exiled and migrant figures significantly shaped the international discourse surrounding the modern Middle East.   00:00 Introduction 00:52 Formative Academic Encounters with a Milestone Year 04:36 From Imperial Collapse to the Partitioning of a Region 07:30 Fragmented Visions & the Contested Landscape of Identity 10:08 Archival Discoveries & Cross-Generational Reflections 12:34 The Global Power of a Dispersed Press 16:13 The Mechanics of Petitioning an International Order 20:12 Ideological Divides in the Early Arabic Press 22:26 Mapping the Global Hubs of the Transnational Story 24:28 Borderland Crises & the Politics of Transnational Aid 28:32 The Realities of Local Support 33:35 De Facto Diplomacy & the Pen of an Exile 36:34 Petitions, Surveillance, & the Struggle to Define a Diaspora 46:44 Recommended Readings for Closer Investigation   Reem Bailony is an Associate Professor of History at Agnes Scott College. She is a historian of the modern Middle East with a focus on Middle East migrations and transnationalism. Her book, Syria's Transnational Rebellion: Diaspora Politics and the Revolt of 1925-1927 (Edinburgh University Press, 2025) explores the diasporic and transnational dimensions of the Syrian Revolt of 1925-1927, a watershed moment in anti-colonialism during the French Mandate era. Professor Bailony is also interested in the history of Syrian-Lebanese transnational family dynamics after World War I, and how migrant families parented their children in the diaspora.

Host Matt Trump (fighting a temperamental mic cord) turns his leftover map slides into a full episode on a provocative question: did the barbarians actually destroy Rome, or preserve it? Picking up from last week's Phantom Time detour, he leans on Belgian historian Henri Pirenne and the book Medieval Cities, bought decades ago as an Austin physics grad student, to argue a mainstream but revisionist case. The thesis: the Germanic tribes (Goths, Angles, Saxons, Franks) did not want to burn Rome down. They wanted in, preserving Roman civilization under new rulers, feudalism, and above all the Church, which outlived the state. What truly severed the ancient world, Pirenne argues, was the Arab conquest cutting Christian Europe off from Mediterranean commerce, shifting Europe's center of gravity north. Expect Hagia Sophia, Ravenna mosaics, Justinian, and pointed parallels to whether America is reliving Rome's fall.

While the novel is humorous (one instance has the King sitting on top of an omnibus and speaking to it as to a horse: "Forward, my beauty, my Arab," he said, patting the omnibus encouragingly, "fleetest of all thy bounding tribe"). It is also an adventure story: Chesterton is not afraid to let blood be drawn in his battles, fought with sword and halberd in the London streets, and Wayne thinks up a few ingenious strategies; and, finally, the novel is philosophical, considering the value of one man's actions and the virtue of respect for one's enemies.

While the novel is humorous (one instance has the King sitting on top of an omnibus and speaking to it as to a horse: "Forward, my beauty, my Arab," he said, patting the omnibus encouragingly, "fleetest of all thy bounding tribe"). It is also an adventure story: Chesterton is not afraid to let blood be drawn in his battles, fought with sword and halberd in the London streets, and Wayne thinks up a few ingenious strategies; and, finally, the novel is philosophical, considering the value of one man's actions and the virtue of respect for one's enemies.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Simon Sebag Montefiore returns to the show, this time to talk about his new book The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East. Simon explains: How Britain and France tried — and often failed — to shape the post-Ottoman Middle East Why Sykes–Picot is a misleading shorthand for the region's modern borders How Atatürk, Nasser and other Middle Eastern leaders remade the region through their own choices The violent shift from Ottoman pluralism to nationalist, more homogeneous states Why Nasser's charisma produced a powerful Arab myth but a disastrous authoritarian model Why traditional monarchies in Morocco, Jordan and the Gulf often outlasted revolutionary republics How America became the Middle East's dominant anti-imperial imperial power after Europe's retreat Why militias, parastates and insurgencies make “total victory” in today's Middle East so elusive Find Simon on X: x.com/simonmontefiore Visit Simon's website: www.simonsebagmontefiore.com Join the Conflicted Community here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find us on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Arabic culture and literature hold a vastly rich classical history that continues to captivate scholars and readers worldwide. Renowned literary critic and Columbia University professor, Dr. Muhsin Al-Musawi, explores the depths of this heritage, from the global allure of the Arabian Nights to the historical dynamic of Baghdad's intellectual hubs. The discussion delves into how translation served as a window between cultures, the contested notion of an age of decay, and the brilliant prose of modern artists like Jabra Ibrahim Jabra. Reflecting on his own career of writing out of love and devotion rather than mere scholarship, Dr. Al-Musawi critiques how literary prizes can drive trendy imitation instead of a genuinely creative mind.   00:00 Introduction 01:57 The Roots of Passionate Scholarship 05:19 Baghdad's Layered Intellectual Landscapes 09:51 Cultural Solace & the Ambition of Translation 12:26 Confronting the Global Legacy of the Arabian Nights 14:55 Literary Taste & the Metamorphosis of Translation 19:40 The Romantic Search for Spaces Without Borders 26:27 The Vastness of Classical Traditions & the True Renaissance 28:53 Intellectual Intersections & the Republic of Letters 33:15 Challenging the Conventional Notion of an Age of Decay 39:45 Jabra Ibrahim Jabra & the Topography of an Artist 44:58 Curating a Diverse Core Arabic Fiction Curriculum 49:33 Trendy Prizes & the Necessity of the Creative Mind   Muhsin Jassim al-Musawi is Professor of Classical and Modern Arabic Literature, Comparative and Cultural Studies at Columbia University.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. After Israel struck a military base in Syria, where Turkey was apparently ready to deploy forces, Horovitz reviews the ensuing diplomatic ruckus between Israel, Turkey and Syria, with a US envoy castigating Israel but the White House silent. Following this week's meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump aide Jared Kushner regarding the Board of Peace plan for Gaza, Horovitz explains the shared goal but differing approaches of the US and Israel, and highlights the need to not only disarm Hamas but also drain its coffers. Horovitz examines the results of Monday's Likud primary and the options still available for Netanyahu to parachute a few of his own selected candidates to high slots on the party's final Knesset slate. He also updates us on the emergence of yet another small party, and a renewed alliance between three established ones. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: ‘Don’t’: Netanyahu says he warned Turkey before Israel struck Syrian base PM, Kushner clashed over continued Israeli strikes on Oct. 7 terrorists — officials Hamas must be drained of its money as well as its weapons Arab-majority Hadash, Ta’al and Balad parties agree on joint run after striking deal Hawkish ex-general Ofer Winter expected to launch new party next week, shaking up the right Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz appears on Daily Briefing podcast with host Jessica Steinberg (Flash 90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do Israeli elections actually work? Israelis don't vote directly for prime minister, no party has ever won a majority, and a party with just a handful of Knesset seats can sometimes hold the keys to government. Noam Weissman sits down with former Knesset member Rachel Azaria to unpack coalition building, the 3.25% electoral threshold, the power of Haredi and Arab parties, and why Israeli politics can look so confusing from an American perspective. They also explore the biggest divides shaping Israel's next government, and what to watch as the 2026 election approaches.
