Losing US Supremacy to China. Walter Russell Mead. In this Direct interview, John is joined by Walter Russell Mead, an American academic widely regarded for his incisive analysis of geopolitics and foreign affairs. In a wide ranging discussion, Walter and John consider the worrying isolationist streak that seems to be running through US politics, the continuing struggle for global ascendancy between China and the US, the effectiveness of nuclear deterrence in the 2020s, Western cultural decadence, and Israeli democracy. Walter provides his assessment of the ongoing war in Ukraine, where the conflict is headed and what a desperate Putin might do to achieve an unlikely victory. He concludes on a hopeful note, that emerging political leaders in the US seem to have the courage and conviction to guide their country through the challenges that confront them. Walter Russell Mead is the Ravenel B. Curry III Distinguished Fellow in Strategy and Statesmanship at Hudson Institute, the Global View Columnist at The Wall Street Journal and the James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College in New York. He is also a member of Aspen Institute Italy and board member of Aspenia. He is also a member of Aspen Institute Italy and board member of Aspenia. Before joining Hudson, Mr. Mead was a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations as the Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy. He has authored numerous books, including the widely-recognized 'Special Providence: American Foreign Policy and How It Changed the World' (Alfred A. Knopf, 2004). His next book is entitled 'The Arc of A Covenant: The United States, Israel, and the Future of the Jewish People'. #usa #china #geopolitics   Watch this interview at- https://youtu.be/Kybxa5FNOvc John Anderson 310K subscribers 52,281 views May 12, 2023 #china #usa #geopolitics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Intro 00:28 Introducing Walter Russell Mead 01:39 The war in Ukraine - Walter's predictions 06:08 Should America retain a global presence? 10:35 America - capable, but losing supremacy 18:02 Loss of civilisational self-confidence 26:32 Is the US 'decadent' ? 31:11 We are in a 'pre-war era' 32:12 An invasion of Taiwan 35:30 The global shift to China 39:53 Putin's Middle East recourse 42:11 Israel and 'The Arc of the Covenant' 46:04 Netanyahu and Israeli democracy 51:00 Role of debt in geopolitical rivalry 1:00:20 A revival in US leadership 1:03:04 Conclusions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.

The visit follows key trips to Greece, Egypt and France, and came despite the recent unrest affecting Israelis and Palestinians, underlining the importance of Cyprus's ties with Israel. Prof. Gabriel Haritos joins Thanos Davelis to discuss the significance of Christodoulides' trip to Israel, and look at the issues discussed - from energy to the question of Israeli investments and tourists in the occupied northern part of Cyprus.Gabriel Haritos is an adjunct lecturer at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, where he focuses on political relations between Israel, Greece and Cyprus.

Greece's party leaders held a debate on Wednesday, touching on everything from the economy to foreign policy. While the three hour debate didn't produce a clear winner, it was an opportunity for the party leaders to speak directly to voters. In the meantime, polls are indicating that New Democracy has recovered some of its lost ground, raising questions about what kind of coalition could be in the cards after elections. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini English Edition, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the main takeaways from this week's debate, explore what impact it could have on voting trends, and look at what the latest polls tell us about the prospects of a coalition government after elections.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Party leaders debate economy, foreign policyErdogan speaks to Kathimerini, calls for new era in Greece-Turkey relationsMitsotakis hopes for better relations with Turkey if reelected as Greek premierChristodoulides, Netanyahu continue ties in chummy reunionPresident Christodoulides in Israel for two-day visit

Say what?  "Reforms?"  Or simply a way for Netanyahu to skirt the law and consolidate power?  True, some felt that the Israeli court had abused its power, but is it a coincidence that Netanyahu faced charges of corruption and abuse of public trust, against which these new reforms would protect him? The Israeli government has few checks. Neuter the courts, and there's only one organ of power, an unchecked parliament.

The religious Zionist demographic makes up about 10% of the Israeli population, yet it has emerged as one of the most influential segments of society, both within the government and in the country at large. This demographic is undergoing significant change, from being primarily focused on issues of security, territory and settlement, to being at the forefront of the government's judicial revolution. Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Elana Stein Hain dive into the complexities of the religious Zionist community's evolution and its relationship to Netanyahu's governing coalition.

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. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian, political correspondent Tal Schneider and Knesset reporter Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Fabian discusses tension as Israel awaits response from Hamas terror group following the air force targeted killing of three senior members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group that also killed 10 civilians including four children. He looks at restrictions placed on Israelis living close to the Gaza border, where schools are closed and residents are being told to stay close to shelters. Schneider speaks about the current relationship between Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu given the Gaza operation, just weeks after the prime minister had fired the defense minister over his opposition to the judicial reform. Keller-Lynn speaks about opposition leaders Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid and their unsurprising support of the Gaza operation along with fellow opposition leader Avigdor Lieberman who offered his stance on the stalled talks regarding the government's judicial reform. Steinberg mentions the advance of Israeli pop singer Noa Kirel to the grand final of the 2023 Eurovision in Liverpool late Tuesday night following her performance during the contest's first semifinal. Discussed articles include: All eyes on Hamas as IDF awaits reprisal for assassination of Islamic Jihad leaders Thousands of Gaza border residents evacuated by IDF as precaution Gaza op gets broad political support as some trade barbs over Ben Gvir ‘Legitimizing the illegitimate': Liberman urges Gantz, Lapid to end overhaul talks Israel's Noa Kirel rides ‘Unicorn' to Eurovision grand final Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.  IMAGE: Israeli soldiers block a road near the border with Gaza, southern Israel, on May 10, 2023 (Photo by Flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian, Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren, and news editor Amy Spiro join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Operation Shield and Arrow was launched with an early morning surprise attack in the Gaza Strip, targeting three high level Islamic Jihad leaders. At least 13 were killed after a coordinated attack throughout the Gaza Strip around 2:30 am Israel time. Fabian debriefs on who were the attack's targets. Fabian takes us through the airstrikes, which involved 40 aircraft, including fighter jets, that carried out the main strikes within seconds of each other, at three locations in the Strip. We hear how they are similar to previous IDF strikes. As Israel awaits reprisal rockets that are expected to come after the three leaders' funerals, the IDF's Home Front Command has issued instructions for residents of areas near Gaza. Fabian updates on closures and other instructions, including for the Mount Meron site where thousands are celebrating Lag B'Omer. Also today, the IDF is continuing to conduct raids in the West Bank and stop alleged terrorist attacks. We learn what happened in Nablus this morning. Operation Shield and Arrow comes days after Gazan terrorists led by Islamic Jihad fired 104 rockets toward Israel on May 2. The right-wing fringes of the coalition were frustrated by Israel's perceived lack of response then. Many coalition critics are suggesting that last night's attack was in part to appease those elements -- or to deflect attention from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial, in which a key witness, Ari Harrow, is set to take the stand. Goren weighs in. The show must go on: Noa Kirel is set to represent Israel in the first Eurovision semi-final tonight. Spiro explains Kirel's chances -- especially in light of the new system of popular voting to determine who makes it to the grand final on Saturday night in Liverpool.

After Israel assassinated three senior members of Islamic Jihad and killed at least ten civilians in airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in the wee hours of Tuesday morning in a military operation, the country tensely braced for expected retaliation.  Haaretz national security analyst Amos Harel joined Haaretz Weekly host Allison Kaplan Sommer on Tuesday to assess what has been dubbed Operation Shield and Arrow. On the podcast, they discuss Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political motives for greenlighting the assassinations.   The operation, Harel says, “is mostly a result of Israeli domestic considerations. Last week, after the death of jailed Islamic Jihad terrorists in an Israeli jail after a long hunger strike, Islamic Jihad reacted by launching more than 100 rockets and mortar bombs towards Israeli towns and villages around the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu hesitated, receiving a lot of criticism from both the opposition and the protest movement, and from within his government. So I don't think he had much choice.” Harel addresses the many questions Israelis were asking themselves Tuesday: should Israel batten down the hatches for a major extended military conflict with both Islamic Jihad and with Hamas in Gaza? What are the chances the conflict could extend to the West Bank and Israel's northern border? How aggressively will the Biden White House move to lower the flames and could the tense relationship between Washington and Jerusalem affect the US reaction to this crisis?   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elitsoldat, managementkonsult, premiärminister Benjamin Netanyahu har kallats både för politisk trollkarl och seglivad överlevare. Men när Israel kokar står han inför sin största kris i karriären. Våren 2023 fyller Israel 75 år som självständig nation. Samtidigt fylls gatorna i landets städer med hundratusentals ilskna demonstranter som protesterar mot landets nya, ultrakonservativa, regering. I fokus står ett lagförslag som ska minska högsta domstolens politiska inflytande i Israel, något som många befarar kommer undergräva demokratin i landet.Reformförslaget drivs på av landets premiärminister Benjamin Netanyahu – eller Bibi, som han kallas. Älskad, hatad, skandalomsusad och spektakulär – i snart tre decennier har Netanyahu arbetat för att bli solen som den israeliska politiken kretsar kring.Han är den förste premiärministern i Israel som är född efter att landet blev självständigt, och även den premiärminister som suttit längst på sin post i landet. Han har stångats med amerikanska presidenter och anklagats för att uppvigla till mord. Men han har aldrig fått utstå sådan massiv kritik, både inifrån och utanför Israel, som nu. Hur många äss har egentligen Netanyahu kvar i sin politiska rockärm?P3 ID bläddrar bakåt i Benjamin Netanyahus familjealbum, från uppväxtåren i New York och Philadelphia, till krigsfronten i Israel – fram till det politiska kaoset som råder sedan valet hösten 2022. Hör om tragedierna, intrigerna och framgångarna som formade Netanyahu, och i förlängningen hela Israel.

With a deadline to avoid a default approaching sooner than expected, President Biden has invited the four top Congressional leaders to discuss the ongoing debt ceiling standoff. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the nation could potentially default on its debt by June 1st, meaning the country would not have enough money to pay its bills. The President has maintained that the debt limit must be raised with no conditions, leading many to wonder whether the upcoming meeting will lead to a resolution. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram previews the President's debt limit meeting and discusses the consequences of failing to raise the debt limit. 75 years ago, President Harry Truman recognized Israel after the country declared itself an independent Jewish state. Since then, the United States has maintained a solid relationship with the country, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) both paying bipartisan visits. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been extended the customary invitation to the White House after his win last year, raising concerns about judicial overhaul legislation as well as the right-wing coalition. Deputy National Secretary Advisor for the Middle East and North African Affairs during the Trump Administration Victoria Coates reassures listeners that Congress will continue to support the security relationship between the two nations, but says she cannot say the same about the Biden Administration.

As Israel grapples with political and social turmoil, the debate over judicial reform has become a crucial battleground for the country's future direction. In a conversation with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, they delve into the implications of Prime Minister Netanyahu's proposed reforms that would give the executive branch sweeping control over the composition of the Supreme Court and allow parliament to overturn court rulings with a simple majority. Despite Netanyahu's decision to postpone the vote on these controversial reforms, protests have continued to rage across the country — with big potential consequences for Israel's democratic system and social stability. Host: Ian Bremmer Guest: Ehud Barak

Both subscribers and free viewers/listeners get to enjoy this journey with Uri Geller through the museum of his life that he has created in Jaffa in Israel. He and Whitley have a great time reminiscing about mutual friends like Edgar Mitchell, Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff, as Uri shows us remarkable artifacts such as the alien object given to him by John Lennon, and Mick Jagger’s guitar. Uri describes what happened when Benjamin Netanyahu asked him to bend a spoon in a restaurant, and he tells a stunner of a story about the word “architectural.” They also talk about Uri’s Lamb Island micro-nation created to help underprivileged children with heart defects , and how you can join up!

Last November Israel elected its most far right government in its 75 year history. Months of protests followed over its plans for reform of the judicial system. Benjamin Netanyahu's new coalition government is proposing an agenda that goes beyond domestic reforms – and not everyone is happy. As well as domestic protests, some of Israel's allies are nervous as, with the government's attention taken up by internal challenges, new alliances are forming in the middle east. This episode of The Inquiry explores the reasons behind the tension and protests in the country and asks, why is Israel in turmoil? Guests: Tamar Hermann, senior researcher at the Israel Democracy Institute and Professor of Political Science at the Open University Anshel Pfeffer, journalist and biographer of Benjamin Netanyahu Professor Yossi Mekelberg, associate fellow at Chatham House Hugh Lovatt, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations Presented by Gary O'Donoghue.

Ace reporter Linda Gradstein and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon   —Million Person Protest— More than 200,000 gather in Jerusalem to demonstrate their support of Netanyahu's judicial reforms.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploration into one key issue shaping Israel and the Jewish World — right now. The Knesset reconvened this week and anti-judicial overhaul protestors ramped up their demonstrations with Thursday's nationwide Day of Disruptions. While these protests were going on nationwide, a panel appearing on Israel's Channel 14 talked about the upcoming protest outside former Supreme Court president Aharon Barak's house that night. Barak, the panel agreed, is the puppet master who is pulling all the strings in the anti-judicial overhaul movement. He is to blame for the mess the country is in and only if Barak agrees to the reform, they said, will all protests stop. Even as Fox News captures headlines throughout the world for skewed coverage, Israel's version, Channel 14, is slowly capturing an increasingly larger audience. So, I sat down this week with Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren to make sense of Israel's Hebrew-language media map. A three-decade veteran of Israeli journalism, Goren started out as an investigative reporter at the Ha'aretz group, moved on to become the news and magazine editor at Yedioth Aharonot and then editor-in-chief of Ma'ariv's website. Goren also crossed into the tech world, developing and maintaining dozens of media websites -- including The Times of Israel and Zman Israel, where she is also the editor-in-chief since its foundation. Now celebrating four years, Zman Israel, The Times of Israel's sister Hebrew website, covers politics, economy, environment, diplomacy and the rule of law. With a staff of highly experienced journalists, the current affairs website focuses on investigative reporting, exclusive news and in-depth analysis. In our in-depth discussion -- recorded on World Press Freedom Day -- Goren explains the lay of the land in Israel's Hebrew-language media and suggests that all of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's three ongoing court cases are tied to its control. In this week of dueling narratives, we ask veteran journalist Biranit Goren, What Matters Now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on iTunes, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, PlayerFM or wherever you get your podcasts.

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 diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode from our Jerusalem office. We have a lot to discuss as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition is threatening to break apart and today's “day of disruption”. Lazar is here with better relations with the EU and what Israel can do to help get Ukrainian children back. The protest movement against the government's judicial overhaul is staging another “Day of Disruption,” with acts of civil disobedience and road closures around the country. The Knesset is now in session and the judicial overhaul legislation package is still frozen. Horovitz weighs in on whether it's possible that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu make keep it frozen indefinitely, similar to what happened with the Western Wall compromise. The stability of the coalition is being threatened by its members. We hear why National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Housing and Construction Minister Yitzhak Golknopf are making waves right now. Deputy speaker of Kyiv's parliament Olena Kondratiuk was in Israel on Monday to ask for Israel's help in the release of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children taken illegally from their homes to Russia. Berman explains what aid she is requesting and what the country can do. Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and the European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell met in Brussels on Tuesday to bury the hatchet after a period of strained relations with the EU. Why now? Horovitz, just back from London, gives some color ahead of Saturday's coronation of King Charles. Discussed articles include: Protesters block Ayalon highway, other roads in ‘day of disruption' against overhaul Likud: If Ben Gvir doesn't like how Netanyahu runs government, he can leave Government will ‘fall apart' without law on Haredi military exemption, warns minister EU's Borrell wins over foreign minister during long one-on-one chat Foreign Minister Cohen buries hatchet with EU foreign policy czar Borrell Help us get our kids back from Russia, urges senior Ukraine lawmaker visiting Israel Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

 This week we delve back into forbidden territory with a continuance of the Those We Don't Speak Of series focusing once again on Revisionist Zionism's founder Ze'ev Jabotinsky. We look into his famous Iron Wall speech, and some of the terrorist acts his Irgun, as well as The Stern Gang/Lehi group committed against British Troops, and Arab civilians. We also touch on the Baruch Goldstein massacre, and his hero Meir Kahane, and look at the connection with newly Netanyahu appointed Jewish Power Party leader Itamar Ben-Gavir.  It's a solid career killer episode all the way through so, be sure to share, and tell others about what you have learned. Now, time to get down that rabbit hole underneath the Iron Dome, far beyond the mainstream.

Israel, once touted as a thriving democracy in the Middle East, now finds itself in a very unstable political climate. After a 5th election in 4 years which restored the country's longest running prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israelis are in the streets again protesting against a controversial bill introduced in the Israeli parliament. The bill, … Continue reading Israel’s Judicial Branch Reform

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, a political party is an organized attempt to gain control of the government, and the Democrat party seeks to gain control and keep it through a one-party state. That is when you know you are dealing with a totalitarian party. The Democrat socialists like AOC and Bernie Sanders have fundamentally taken over the base of the Democrat party, who Nancy Pelosi and President Biden had to bow to and are now doing their bidding. The administrative state exists for the Democrat party and has since FDR, and it leaks and undermines Republican administrations so even if they win elections they still lose. Also, Kevin McCarthy gave a speech in Israel while Biden still has not invited Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States, and secularist Democrats just do not care. McCarthy is speaking out about the Iran regime's aggression and its threat to Israel, and at the same time the Biden administration is ignoring Israel while helping Iran.

It's the 75th anniversary of Israel and if you look at what's taking place in that country, with that country's leaders, namely with that country's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his fight to bring about much-needed judicial reforms, it's uncanny: the comparisons with America are obvious. As leftists hate Donald Trump, so leftists hate Bibi. As a deep state permeates U.S. politics, so a deep state permeates Israeli politics. Of special note is an ongoing fight to bring about reforms in the judicial system that pro-reformers -- like Bibi -- say are necessary in order to keep intact the wills of the voting people and that anti-reformers -- leftists, deep staters, and the like -- say are pathways to fascism. Sound familiar? Making sense of all-things-Israel is Gol Kalev, on the ground in Israel and author of a new book, "Judaism 3.0," who says the Jewish state is on the cusp of big changes.

This week, Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy led a bipartisan US congressional delegation to Israel, a delegation that included Maryland's Democratic Congressman Steny Hoyer. McCarthy addressed the Knesset, Israel's Parliament, and indicated that he might soon invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the US Congress. This is in stark contrast to President Joe Biden, who has so far refused to extend an invitation to Netanyahu to visit the White House since the Prime Minister put together a far-right coalition government that returned him to power last year. Israel is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its founding, and reeling from a level of internal discord that the young country has never before encountered. Netanyahu is pushing radical reorganization of the judicial system which would greatly diminish the authority of Israeli courts. Mass protests over the past many weeks have forced the proponents of the judicial overhaul to pause their efforts for the moment, but the crisis is far from being resolved. For an update on the situation in Israel, and perspective on Vladimir Putin's posture against the Jews in Ukraine, we turn to Sam Sokol, a reporter for Haaretz, and the author of Putin's Hybrid War and the Jews:  Antisemitism, Propaganda, and the Displacement of Ukrainian Jewry.  Sam Sokol joins us on Zoom from New York. Sam Sokol will be speaking about his book and the current situation in Israel on Wednesday night (May 3) at 7:00 at Beth Am Synagogue in the Reservoir Hill neighborhood of Baltimore.

Media sources citing a leaked video say that Israel's Justice Minister Yariv Levin has accused the U.S. State Department of funding anti-government protests. Until now only "unnamed officials" have made that claim. The leak comes as President Biden has yet to invite Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House. However, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, had nothing but love for the Jewish State, during his Knesset address on Monday. All of this plus the latest news from Israel, including rockets fired at the south by terrorists from Gaza as the podcast was recorded, on this week's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Half a million Israelis take to the streets after Israel's Independence Day to support the government and to show their support for passing judicial reforms. In the words of one of the protesters at the rally, “We are tired of being treated like second class citizens.” US Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is visiting Israel right now and boldly declaring his unconditional support for the nation. All this and more on today's show!

On this edition of Parallax Views, legendary journalist James Bamford, known for his books The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets that lifted the veil of secrecy around the National Security Agency (NSA) as well as his critical exploration of the Bush-era Iraq War/War on Terror A Pretext for War, joins us to discuss his latest book Spyfail: Foreign Spies, Moles, Saboteurs, and the Collapse of America's Counterintelligence. For those interested in the subject of spycraft and it's implications/consequences this is a wide-ranging and comprehensive conversation that is worth a listen. James and I delve into such subjects as the leak of U.S. cyberweapons by an entity known as The Shadow Brokers (TSB) and how it nearly had apocalyptic consequences, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israeli spying operations in the United States, the stealing of massive amounts of classified materials by former Booz Allen Hamilton contractor Hal Martin, Hollywood movie producer Arnon Milchan and Israeli nuclear smuggling, Russiagate and the Maria Butina affair, and, perhaps most explosively, the portions of Bamford's book dealing with alleged collusion between Israel's Netanyahu government and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election (read more about this specifically in Bamford's The Nation article "The Trump Campaign's Collusion With Israel").

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. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Israel awoke to news of another murdered woman, this time, alongside two of her very young children, in the northern town of Taibe. Fabian explains what we know so far and puts these murders into context with the troubling increase of murders in Israel's Arab community. Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy is in Israel and even before his planned Knesset plenum session and press conference, he's grabbing headlines with an "invitation" to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu to speak in Congress. Berman breaks this down. Over the past week and a half, amid a rise in intelligence surrounding the potential of violent terrorist attacks, the Israel has imposed heavy restrictions on movement in and out of the West Bank city of Jericho. Fabian explains happened there early this morning. Arab foreign ministers from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria will gather in Jordan today to discuss Syria's long-running conflict. This will effectively end Damascus's diplomatic isolation in the region. Looking at it from Israel's standpoint, is this a positive step? At Thursday's protest in support of the judicial overhaul, an IDF officer with the rank of major who was filmed at the event. Fabian discusses why his subsequent punishment is somewhat controversial. Discussed articles include: Mother and two baby sons found stabbed to death in Taibe US House Speaker McCarthy: If Biden doesn't invite Netanyahu to DC soon, I will Ahead of Knesset address, US House Speaker McCarthy calls Israel ‘blessed nation' Palestinian teen killed, six others hurt during IDF raid near Jericho Jordan to host Arab regional discussion on way forward with Syria IDF officer ousted from his position for attending pro-overhaul rally in uniform Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The conversation focuses on Israel's 75th anniversary, the future of the US-Israel partnership, an update on the US-brokered Abraham Accords led by President Donald J. Trump, the present threats the Jewish state faces from Iran and its proxies in the region, and China brokering peace between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Over the past several weeks, Israel faced a fresh wave of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure. There is greater concern that Iranian-Russian cooperation on hack attacks may strengthen Iran's hand in the cyber-war targeting Israel.

It has been 20 years since the United States launched Operation Iraqi Freedom. Even before President Bush announced the invasion, the Trumpet predicted U.S. efforts would fail and who the true victor would be. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett just visited Washington, D.C. His visit highlighted the sharp contrast with how the Biden administration treats Israel's current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. It has been said that telling a lie leads a man from a grove into a jungle. As long as falsehoods exist, they do a great deal of damage. This is clear to see in the upper echelons of the American government Our Last Word is about the role of God as a builder and the implications this has for each one of us.
