Podcast appearances and mentions of Benjamin Netanyahu

“If I thought that I was going to win the Pulitzer for a book called ‘The Netanyahus' I would have to be crazy to want to be in Israel when that happened,” novelist Joshua Cohen tells host Allison Kaplan Sommer on Haaretz Weekly, shortly after arriving in Israel for the Jerusalem International Book Forum and Writers Festival.  In the interview, recorded in Tel Aviv days after he got the news, Cohen says he is still in shock that he had won the biggest literary prize in the United States for a novel “that has characters in it that most Americans can't pronounce their names.” Cohen's part-historical, part-fictional satire is subtitled “An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family.” Its main character is the brilliant but embittered Prof. Benzion Netanyahu, best-known today as the father of Israel's longest-serving prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.  As he was writing, Cohen says, he “kept on thinking of the line in ‘The Big Lebowski' where the Dude says to Walter: ‘You're not wrong, you're just an asshole.' And that was Benzion Netanyahu." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Det palestinske selvstyret blåser opp under flammene av hat og delegitimering av Israel etter journalisten Shireen Abu Aqlehs tragiske død. Men de nekter samtidig en skikkelig etterforskning. I mellomtiden fortsetter terrorbølgen, og israelere føler en allmen usikkerhet i hele landet. Politisk blir regjeringens økende avhengighet av ikke-sionistiske arabiske partier stadig mer problematisk. Og rettssaken mot Netanyahu fortsetter å bli svekket av påtalemyndighetens egne vitner.

The Palestinian Authority is fanning the flames of hatred and delegitimization of Israel after the tragic death of journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh. But they refuse a proper investigation. Meanwhile, the wave of terror continues and Israelis are feeling a general insecurity. Politically, the government's increasing dependency on non-Zionist Arab parties is getting problematic, and the court case against Netanyahu continues to be weakened by state witnesses.

Tel Aviv-based journalist and Israel Policy Forum Advisor Neri Zilber hosts Walla News Chief Political Correspondent Tal Shalev for a deep dive into the chances of the government surviving, the prospects of yet another election, Bibi Netanyahu eyeing a comeback, and who really is the most powerful person in Israeli politics today.Support the show

Few figures in twentieth-century Jewish life were quite so admired and loathed as Vladimir Jabotinsky (1880-1940). The founder of the branch of Zionism now headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, he is perhaps the most controversial of all Zionist political leaders. Join us as author Hillel Halkin explores the life and legacy of Jabotinsky. Halkin will also explain the importance of Odessa, Ukraine, Jabotinsky's native city, in shaping his character and outlook.

Richard Pater speaks to Natan Sachs, the director of the Center for Middle East Policy at The Brookings Institution. They discuss the latest developments in the JCPOA nuclear negotiations, whether a deal will actually be signed and the differences between the Netanyahu and Bennett-Lapid governments approach to relations with the United States, especially over the Iranian nuclear issue. They also discuss the broader status of US foreign policy towards the region and how domestic dynamics within the United States influence the country's policy abroad. They also touch on relations between the US and the Palestinians, the stability of the Gaza Strip and more.

Frederic C. Hof was the chief architect and mediator of the 2009–11 US initiative to broker peace between Israel and Syria. This mission was the culmination of Hof's nearly three decades of public service, which began as a US Army officer in Vietnam and continued at the State Department. After a period in the private sector, he returned to the State Department, where, in 2012, he was awarded the rank of ambassador by President Obama. In 2018, after five years at the Atlantic Council, Hof was named the inaugural Diplomat-in-Residence at Bard College in upstate New York, where he resides with his wife, Brenda. Hof is the recipient of the Purple Heart and numerous other awards from the Department of Defense and the State Department.This important and eye-opening book is an insider's account of secret negotiations to broker a Syria-Israel peace deal―negotiations that came tantalizingly close to success. Ambassador Frederic Hof, who spearheaded the US-mediated discussions in 2009-11, takes readers behind the scenes in Washington, Damascus, and Jerusalem, where President Assad and Prime Minister Netanyahu inched toward a deal to return Israeli-occupied areas of the Golan Heights in exchange for Syria severing military ties with Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. Hof's candid assessments, refreshing self-criticism, compelling prose, and rich historical detail make this a masterful memoir of an unknown chapter in American diplomacy.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and political correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. From Saturday night, Israel no longer requires the use of masks in closed environments, aside from elderly facilities, hospitals, and air travel. Former COVID czar Prof. Roni Gamzu has also said that airport checks are now “unreasonable.” Will they soon be done away with as well? The past week's Passover holiday brought a record 4,600 Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount. Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai made a statement last night saying that Israeli Jews are increasingly flouting the status quo and praying on the Temple Mount. Where does Horovitz see this going? On Friday, the Mayor of Umm al-Fahmm Samir Subhi Mahamed told off a group of young, masked men who were protesting Israeli actions at the Jerusalem holy site by trying to block traffic from entering the city. Why is this noteworthy? Yamina MK Amichai Chickli is in the hot seat tomorrow. Ra'am has announced it will not be attending. Keller-Lynn tells us more about these hearings.

I know few people like Aaron, who are extremely well-read, pragmatic, and a believer in his country and the future it will bring. Aaron brings a sensical argument to anything his country faces because that is simply how he grew up. The son of immigrants from the Soviet Union, the family moved to Israel in the 90s as many Russian-speaking Jews did after the iron curtain fell. Aaron's family had to deal with starting from scratch and adapting to the harsh reality of Israel and its hardships as a nation. Aaron was the first in his family to integrate into society, being an avid reader and going to school from eight years old on in the country. Meanwhile, his family busted their butts to keep the family afloat while studying for medical certifications in a completely new language. Some say that the Russian Aliyah is the one that genuinely saved the country because of its sheer intellectual capacity. A total of one million Russian-speaking Jews landed in the country in the 90s, about 1/5 of the total population. Imagine if the US accepted 20% of the people in the country (Roughly 65 million people out of 330 million)? The family blended in within one generation and actually had to learn how to be Jewish through their kids, who were learning their own culture faster than their parents. As Aaron grew older, he became involved in the youth movements of the country and served in a special unit in the IDF.  Afterward, Aaron began looking for opportunities to be in active roles that represented the country outside of Israel. He was a camp instructor in the US, worked at the Knesset as a tour guide while going to school, had an internship with a US congressman, and was an Emissary in the UK for two years at prestige university. As you can tell, quite the underachiever.  Of course, we dive into politics within his own country, what the Abraham accords mean for the region, and even what Binyamin Netanyahu's legacy will be. Stay tuned for a great conversation about life through the prism of Aaron. 

On COI #262, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman cover political upheaval and boiling violence in Israel, as well as the latest Iran nuclear deal news. Kyle breaks down critical changes in Israeli politics that have seen Prime Minister Naftali Bennet lose his parliamentary majority and what it likely means for U.S-Israel relations. More Knesset members may be leaving Bennet's coalition, joining the Likud, and empowering Benjamin Netanyahu's factions. Bennet will have to cover his right flank where he is currently facing pressure including to further expand the illegal settlements. There has also been an uptick in killings and tensions in Israel, Bennet has encouraged Jewish civilian volunteers to carry guns and provide assistance. Additional soldiers are being sent to the West Bank and areas near the Gaza Stip. This is setting the stage for a major escalation only a year after Israel's last war which saw myriad brutal attacks on Palestinians in Israel proper, East Jerusalem, the West Bank, as well as hundreds of Gazans bombed and killed. Connor discusses a massive hawkish campaign seeking to thwart Biden's return to the nuclear deal with Tehran. An assortment of Democrats in the House of Representatives, Republicans in the Senate, top Biden officials, and neocons like Elliott Abrams are demanding that Biden cut off talks and/or give Israel more military aid. Even the Iranians, more recently known for their optimism regarding the negotiations' progress, are becoming increasingly pessimistic in view of the dismal U.S. politics. The Israelis are boasting they successfully lobbied Biden to keep the IRGC on the terrorism blacklist. Tel Aviv hopes this move will be the "dealbreaker."

Ahead of the second round of the French presidential election, our in-house experts on French politics join the podcast to explain what's behind the "great anger" expressed by voters in the first round, and how President Emmanuel Macron can become the first in two decades to secure a second term in office.  Emmanuelle Elbaz-Phelps, host of Haaretz's Hebrew-language podcast on the French election, and Haaretz editor and writer Eléonore Weil, share their conversations with family and friends in France, analyze how the upcoming Macron-Le Pen debate could be a game-changer, and predict what a victory by either candidate would mean for French-Israeli relations. They also discuss Le Pen's ties to Russia and the antisemitic legacy of her party and family.  Later on the show, we discuss how a disagreement over the right to eat bread in Israeli hospitals during Passover could end up bringing down Israel's anti-Netanyahu "government of change." Uri Keidar, executive director of Israel Hofsheet, an organization promoting liberal policies on religion and state in Israel, joins the podcast to explain the origins of this crisis. Listen to his conversation with host Amir Tibon, starting at time code 33:45. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mayor Gabriel Groisman of Bal Harbour, Florida, is Partner at LSN Partners, and a tireless advocate for strengthening the US-Israel partnership and expanding the Abraham Accords. Mayor Groisman joins America's Roundtable Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation about principled pro-growth policies advanced by Florida's elected officials, business leaders and engaged stakeholders, and the state's unique approach in addressing the Covid pandemic which have become a model for America. The discussion with Mayor Gabriel Groisman also focuses on the growing concerns of the Biden administration's insistence on closing a deal with Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, thus handing over to the Iranian regime access to $90 billion dollars in foreign currency reserves and sanctions relief. The program also brings to the forefront urgency to expand the Abraham Accords, a principled policy initiative which is bringing together countries in the Middle East to promote trade and investments, and advancing pro-growth policies for the region. The discussion will also address the rise of anti-Semitism in America and around the world, as well as the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement targeting the sovereign state of Israel — which adversely impacts both Arabs and Jews. The Economist, April 2, 2022: What America can learn from Florida's boom "In fact, Florida has become emblematic of much of America and central to all of it. The state is on the rise, as our special report this week explains. Between 2010 and 2020 its population grew at double the national rate. Florida has overtaken New York to become America's third-most-populous state after California and Texas, with a dynamic and diverse demography, including fast-rising numbers of Hispanics. It is now the number-one destination for American and foreign movers." — The Economist Mayor Groisman will also share his insights on Passover, commemorating one of the high-holidays in the Jewish calendar commencing next week. He will invite us to learn more about the timeless principles from the historic events that led to the Israelites gaining their freedom from slavery in ancient Egypt, and their extraordinary journey to the Promised Land — today's Jewish State of Israel. Mayor Gabriel Groisman's Brief Bio Mayor Gabriel Groisman has been serving his community since November 2014, first being elected as a Councilman, and then in November 2016 was elected as the Mayor of Bal Harbour, Florida. He wrote and passed the nation's first municipal anti-BDS ordinance in December 2015 and was the first in the nation to codify a uniform definition of anti-Semitism in December 2017. Groisman's subsequent dealings with a local church who had previously boycotted and divested from Israel is the first documented success story of anti-BDS legislation. He is a sought after public speaker, regularly speaking to groups about fighting anti-semitism and the BDS movement, and related topics. Mayor Groisman has presented on two occasions at the United Nations in New York as a legal scholar on combating unjust and illegal commercial and academic boycotts of Israel, and has also presented at conferences held at the Italian Parliament in Rome, the Israeli Knesset and across the country. Still, Mayor Groisman prides himself in speaking to high school and college-aged students, who are the most directly impacted by the rise of anti-Semitism, always delivering a much needed sense of pride and strength. In his private life, Groisman is also a practicing attorney and government affairs consultant. He is a partner at the prestigious firm of LSN Partners where he focuses on government relations in correlation with the firm's state and national practice. At LSN Gabriel established an International Tech practice, working primarily with Israeli tech companies in various sectors, helping them navigate the world of government procurement and regulatory affairs in the United States. He also often advises on cases around the world related to protecting the Jewish community from discriminatory conduct by governments and private individuals alike. In 2017, Groisman was named as a member of Advisory Council for Israel and Middle East Issues by then-Congressman Ron DeSantis, Chairman of National Security Subcommittee. In 2018, Mayor Groisman was awarded the Pursuit of Justice Award by the prestigious American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists. https://ileaderssummit.org/services/americas-roundtable-radio/ https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @GabeGroisman @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

The security situation continues to deteriorate in Israel -- tragic developments, including right in the heart of Tel Aviv. We continue to monitor developments and stay in close touch with Israeli family and friends. While Israel is a major focus of today's conversation, the security crisis is not. We focus on the political impasse in Israel, which may be connected to the security crisis. Today we sit down with Ambassador Ron Dermer, who served as Israel's chief envoy to the United States from 2013 to 2021 – working closely with the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations. During that time, he was widely regarded as one of the most consequential ambassadors from any country. Ambassador Dermer was one of Prime Minister Netanyahu's closest advisers and played a key role in what led to the US relocation of our embassy to Jerusalem, U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, implementation of the maximum pressure campaign against Iran, and the historic breakthrough that led to the Abraham Accords. He is a graduate of the Wharton School and completed a degree at Oxford. In this episode, we focus on three topics: What to make of the current Israeli political crisis? (Will the Government fall? Will Netanyahu return to power?) What are the real prospects for a new Iran nuclear deal? And what to make of America's role in the Russia-Ukraine crisis?

*) West ramps up sanctions against Russia The United States and Britain have announced new sanctions against Russia after international outcry over human rights abuses in Ukraine. The White House has unveiled measures targeting Russia's top banks and two daughters of President Vladimir Putin. It has also banned Americans from investing in Russia. Britain has sanctioned two banks and has vowed to eliminate all Russian oil and gas imports by year-end. *) UN to vote on suspending Russia from rights council The 193-member United Nations General Assembly will vote on Thursday on a US push to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council. The draft resolution expresses "grave concern at the ongoing human rights and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine," particularly at reports of rights abuses by Russia. A two-thirds majority of voting members can suspend a country from the 47-member council. *) Israel: Bennett's coalition loses majority after MP quits A key member of Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's Yamina party has said she will quit his coalition government. Idit Silman's announcement has left Bennett's coalition with 60 seats — the same as the opposition. "Sadly, I cannot take part in harming the Jewish identity of Israel," she has said. Former prime minister and Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed Silman's move. *) Al Qaeda leader dispels rumours of his death via video message A rare video has appeared of Al Qaeda's leader praising an Indian Muslim woman who in February defied a ban on wearing hijab. Rumours of Ayman al Zawahiri's death have persistently circulated, but the video reveals the first proof in months that he is alive. In the video released and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group, the reclusive Al Qaeda chief praises Muskan Khan, who defied a ban on the wearing of the hijab in schools in India's southwestern state of Karnataka.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Political correspondents Tal Schneider and Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in a politically charged podcast. We examine coalition whip MK Idit Silman's surprise resignation this morning, starting first with a little background on who she is and how much bullying she's suffered to shore up this coalition. The tenuous slim coalition is now robbed of its majority. What are the potential scenarios that could play out. Spoiler: One of them means Foreign Minister Yair Lapid will become the prime minister. What are the reactions from other politicians, including former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as other members of the opposition? And if Silman joins up with fellow Yamina party-defector Amichai Chikli to form a new faction, does this at all influence coalition calculations? Discussed articles include: In blow to coalition, whip Silman quits government, robbing it of majority Silman has quit the coalition — could Netanyahu's Likud return to power?

Only after two years of censoring and burying the story, is the establishment media finally admitting that the groundbreaking scandal of Hunter Biden's laptop is true. It should have changed the election results and they know it, hence the censorship. Speaking with Ran Baratz, founder of Israeli conservative online magazine Mida and former Director of Communications and advisor for former Prime Minister Netanyahu, about the deeper meaning this media censorship has on both the United States and Israel.
