Podcasts about East Jerusalem

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. US correspondent Jacob Magid and New York reporter Luke Tress join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Magid discusses more missteps made by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, this time in Paris, where his remarks about Palestinians and the greater Israel created a diplomatic event with Jordan. Tress talks about the growing numbers and locations of anti-judicial overhaul protests in New York and New Jersey, and how the American Jewish community views this controversial issue. Magid speaks about President Joe Biden's phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the judicial overhaul and the US president's words about Israel's democratic values. He also reviewed the meetings between Israel, Jordan, Egypt, the US and the Palestinian Authority in Sharm el Sheikh about the increase in tensions as Ramadan begins Thursday, with some guarded optimism about the cooperative efforts. Tress reviews the latest Ben & Jerry's brouhaha, this time as the Vermont ice cream maker is being sued for child labor, seemingly inconsistent with its declared social mission that caused the company decided to stop selling its ice cream in East Jerusalem and the West Bank two years ago. Discussed articles include: Jordan summons Israeli envoy over ‘racist' Smotrich speech, ‘Greater Israel' map Hundreds demonstrate in New York, London against Israeli judicial shakeup plan On trip to the US, high-level IDF veterans issue warning against judicial overhaul Israel activists in New York take aim at US group backing judicial overhaul push Leading NY rabbi: Israeli government speeding ‘headlong toward abyss' with overhaul Biden voices concern over judicial overhaul in ‘candid' phone call with Netanyahu Israel, PA renew vow to curb violence and halt unilateral moves at Egypt summit ‘Hypocritical': Ben & Jerry's sued over child labor, after attempted Israel boycott Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Violence has been mounting in the Israeli-occupied West Bank for months, but the situation is already reaching a new level of escalation in 2023. “Everything is falling apart,” The Post's Miriam Berger explains to guest host Libby Casey, referring to the fragile dynamics between Palestinians and Israelis in the region. At least 60 Palestinians and a dozen Israelis have been killed in recent weeks in the occupied territories, a level that is on track to be the bloodiest in two decades. That's despite rare talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Jordan last weekend. On Monday, a Palestinian man shot and killed two Israeli brothers in the West Bank town of Huwara. Later that day, dozens of Israeli settlers torched cars and homes in Palestinian communities, killing one man in revenge. “You have this growing insecurity amongst Palestinians and also the cycle of revenge attacks happening,” says Berger. The clashes come amidst massive protests in Israel itself, and a major shift to the right in the country's new government. The empowerment of extremist leaders has further fueled more violent acts, as Palestinian house demolitions and raids are on the rise.

*) Grief, hope in Türkiye and Syria as disaster hits one-week mark The death toll in Türkiye and Syria has climbed to over 33,000, a week after two powerful earthquakes, centred in southeastern Türkiye, struck both countries. Hope remains that more survivors could still be found, after rescuers saved a woman from the rubble in Gaziantep 170 hours into search efforts. Late on Sunday, a young boy and a 62-year-old woman were also rescued in Hatay province. In Türkiye, the death toll has reached 29,605, while the number of deaths in Syria reached 3,574, according to the latest figures. *) UN admits aid failure for Syria as quake death toll soars The United Nations has decried the failure to ship desperately needed aid to war-torn regions of Syria, while warning the death toll from last week's earthquake is set to rise far higher. A 10-truck UN convoy carrying supplies crossed into northwest Syria via the Bab al Hawa border crossing, according to an AFP correspondent, but the agency's relief chief Martin Griffiths said on Sunday much more was needed for millions whose homes were destroyed. Supplies have been slow to arrive in Syria, where years of conflict have ravaged the healthcare system, and parts of the country remain under the control of rebels battling the regime of President Bashar al Assad, which remains under Western sanctions. *) Russia continues to shell Ukraine amid grinding push in east Russian forces continued to shell Ukrainian cities amid a grinding push to seize more land in the east of the country, but Ukrainian officials say that Moscow is having trouble launching its expected large-scale offensive there. The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group earlier said that his forces are facing fierce resistance around Bakhmut, a city in the eastern Donetsk region. Yevgeny Prigozhin said that it could take two years for Moscow to control the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, whose capture Moscow has stated as a key goal of the war. *) Israel set to legalise nine settlements in occupied West Bank Israel's security cabinet has announced that it would legalise nine Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank following escalating violence in occupied East Jerusalem. Netanyahu announced in a cabinet meeting on Sunday that he wanted to "strengthen settlements", which are illegal under international law. More than 475,000 Israelis reside in settlements in the occupied West Bank, where 2.8 million Palestinians live. *) New Zealand city grinds to halt as deluge from cyclone looms Auckland residents brace for a severe flood from Cyclone Gabrielle, two weeks after a record-breaking storm swamped New Zealand's largest city and killed four people. Much of Auckland ground to a halt as train services were cancelled, libraries and most schools were closed, and authorities asked people to make only essential trips. Air New Zealand cancelled all domestic flights to and from Auckland through Tuesday morning, as well as many international flights. The cyclone, which was moving south, dumped more than 220 millimeters of rain in areas north of Auckland, cutting power to about 58,000 households and forcing many roads to close.

More than 70 nations and dozens of relief groups are working to help Turkey recover from two major earthquakes and dozens of aftershocks. Another deadly terror attack in Jerusalem is raising calls for more security in East Jerusalem like a ...

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. US reporter Jacob Magid and New York reporter Luke Tress join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast, with a report from Judah Ari Gross at the earthquake site in Turkey. Gross speaks with a Hadassah doctor serving with the Hatzolah team in Turkey, helping extract earthquake survivors from the devastating wreckage. Magid discusses the across-the-board US push for calm in the region, following the visits of several senior Biden administration officials, including US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CIA director Bill Burns.  Tress speaks about a recent closed meeting of US congress members with Jewish leaders in New York, and their show of support for Israel and its recent actions.  Magid talks about the start of the Malka Leifer trial in Melbourne, Australia, expected to last six weeks as it uncovers the sexual abuse reportedly committed by Leifer against her students while she served as principal of an ultra-Orthodox girls school in the early 2000s.

A massive earthquake hit Turkey and Syria last night and already hundreds of deaths have been reported. Even though these countries are sworn enemies of the Jewish State, you can probably guess who was one of the first countries to offer humanitarian aid. . . Yep Israel! The IDF got into a shootout with a new Hamas terror cell in Jericho while trying to arrest two terrorists who had attempted to shoot up a Jewish restaurant near Jericho last week. And thanks to Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel is demolishing illegal Arab structures in East Jerusalem. All this and more on today's show!

The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, visited Israel this week after days of increasing violence between Israelis and Palestinians. Last week, 10 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank city of Jenin, when Israeli forces mounted a raid against a cell which Israel said was planning to carry out an attack. The next day, six Israelis and a Ukrainian were killed when a Palestinian opened fire near a synagogue in East Jerusalem. The deaths triggered rocket fire into Israel from Gaza and air strikes from Israel. Secretary Blinken says the immediate priority is to restore calm, but how realistic is this, and why has the situation become so violent and volatile again? Tensions have been bubbling beneath the surface for years but, after the re-election of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel now has the most radically nationalist governing coalition in its history. Meanwhile, Palestinians are dealing with the near collapse in control by the Palestinian Authority in parts of the occupied West Bank, with an ageing leader, Mahmoud Abbas, who has been in power for 18 years with no successor on the horizon. So how much is this a factor in the escalating violence? What possible solutions might any party bring to the table? And, as the situation gets bloodier, is there any chance of a peaceful compromise? Ritula Shah is joined by: Martin Indyk has held a number of key diplomatic posts, including as President Barack Obama's special envoy for the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations from July 2013 to June 2014.

On Friday last week, a Palestinian gunman killed seven civilians in occupied East Jerusalem, the deadliest such attack for years. The shooting came the day after a raid by Israeli forces in a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Jenin, also the deadliest such operation for years. The week's violence follows months in which more Palestinians died, according to human rights groups, than in the past almost two decades. More frequent Israeli raids, which Israel says aim to root out Palestinian militants behind an increasing number of attacks on Israelis, often provoke gun battles in West Bank cities. Militants have died, but also civilians, including many young Palestinians. In West Bank cities, new militias have formed, attracting young Palestinians angry not only at Israel but also at their own political leadership. Meanwhile, the new Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which is the most right-wing in Israeli history and comprises openly Jewish nationalist and anti-Palestinian ministers, promises an even tougher line on Palestinians. This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard Atwood speaks with Mairav Zonszein and Tahani Mustafa, Crisis Group's Israel/Palestine experts, about the latest spike in violence. They talk about Israel's new government, its efforts to curb judicial power and what it might mean for policy toward the Palestinians. They also talk about Palestinian politics, many Palestinians' disillusionment at their leadership, the emergence of new militias in West Bank cities and what might happen when ageing Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas passes from the political scene. They ask whether there is any hope of change in policy from Washington and other Western capitals following U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to the region this past week. They also talk about flashpoints in the months ahead.

Today on the Show: The vicious and deadly Israeli crackdown continues in the West Bank in Jenin and in East Jerusalem. Also Reimagining Safety, A New hard-hitting documentary, by filmmaker Matthew Solomon, which examines abuse in policing and and some alternatives The post Update on The West Bank and East Jerusalem appeared first on KPFA.

We are in the midst of an escalating cycle of violence in Israel and Palestine. On Thursday, January 26 Israeli forces killed at least 9 people in a raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. The following evening, a Palestinian gunman killed seven people outside a Synagogue in East Jerusalem. More violence followed over the weekend.  I caught up with journalist Dalia Hatuqa who has reported from Israel and Palestine for many years. We kick off discussing some of the broader context from which this escalatory cycle of violence  has emerged. This includes a ten month old series of stepped up raids by Israel into the West Bank and Gaza. We also discuss why this current violence may or may not lead a to a so-called Third Intifada, and the link between Israel's new far rightwing government and the apparently devolving crisis.    

*) US to lose neutrality if OKs Greece's F35s, rejects Türkiye's F16s: Kalin The US will lose its "neutrality" in NATO if the Congress approves the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Greece and opposes Türkiye's F-16 purchase. This is what Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin has said. Kalin also said Türkiye will not accept any preconditions, such as ratification of Sweden and Finland's NATO bid, for the F-16 programme. Ankara has maintained the jets would strengthen not only Türkiye, but also NATO. *) Netanyahu says Israel is considering weapons aid to Ukraine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he is considering military aid to Ukraine and even willing to serve as a mediator, after the US called for Tel Aviv's more active role. For now, Netanyahu made no firm commitments to Ukraine. Israel has preserved a relationship with Russia, which controls the skies in neighbouring Syria and has turned a blind eye to Tel Aviv's strikes on targets of Iran. *) US-India alliance look to challenge China The US has formally launched a partnership with India that President Joe Biden hopes will help the two countries compete against China. The White House is looking to engage with New Delhi for cooperation in areas of military equipment, semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The US and India have emerged as natural allies to counter China's rising influence, not only in the region but also globally. *) The case of fake medicines in Africa's Sahel region Up to 50 percent of medicines in West Africa are substandard or fake, the UN has warned in a report on the illicit trade in medical products. The global body said it can lead to antimicrobial resistance or toxic contaminants while undermining trust in healthcare systems. Across sub-Saharan Africa, up to $44.7 million per year is spent on treating people who have used counterfeit or substandard malaria treatments. And finally… *) Palestinians protest Israeli plans to demolish Bedouin homes Dozens of Palestinians and foreign activists are staging a sit-in to protest Israeli plans to demolish the Khan al Ahmar Bedouin community in occupied East Jerusalem. A representative of the Khan al Ahmar residents tells Anadolu Agency their protest is aimed at confronting Israeli plans to forcibly displace the residents of the community. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government had a Wednesday deadline to present its demolition plan to the Supreme Court.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Richard Silverstein of the Tikun Olam blog returns to discuss the latest eruptions of violence in Israel/Palestine starting with the massacre in the Palestinian Jenin refugee and then the deadly attack on Israelis outside a Synagogue in East Jerusalem shortly thereafter. In addition to this, we talk about the anti-government protests in Israel against Netanyahu's government and the fears within Israel over Netanyahu's judicial reforms which some are arguing would be a fascistic judicial coup by the Israeli far-right. Moreover, Richard and I discuss President Joe Biden and U.S. foreign policy with regards to Israel and specifically Secretary of State Antony Blinken visit to Israel and meeting with the deeply dysfunctional and corrupt Palestinian Authority's President Mahmoud Abbas. Additionally Richard and I will delve into Netanyahu's cozying up with America's evangelical Christian right, background on Richard's own evolution of thought in regards to Israel/Palestine, Israeli messianism and the end times, the potential for a Third Intifada to erupt, the Israeli economy and big tech start-up companies in Israel, the former Shin Bet (domestic Israeli intelligence chief) calling for a General Strike in Israel, Rabbi Meier Kahane and the Israeli far-right, Israeli ministerial position figures Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, Itamar Ben Gvir's vision for Israel and the Temple Mount, the "toxic brew" that is effecting Israeli politics right now, religious violence and conflict escalation, cycles of violence in Israel/Palestine, secular politics and conflict resolution/compromise, the permanent banning of the anti-Zionist/non-Zionist Mondoweiss media outlet from TikTok, the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism, the attacks on UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's and her work on the situation of human rights in the occupied territories, and more! In the second half of the program, Grant F. Smith of the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy returns to discuss New York Times op-ed columnist Thomas Friedman and his reporting on Israel/Palestine over the years. Grant's recent article on Friedman is entitled "Thomas L. Friedman's Israel: The krytron and the cholent heater". Recently, Friedman commented that he fears the two-state solution is dead in a conversation with Peter Beinart and penned an op-ed pleasing with President Joe Biden to save Israel from losing it's democracy and sliding into becoming “illiberal bastion of zealotry”. In the second half of the program, Grant F. Smith of the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy returns to the program to discuss his critique of New York Times op-ed columnist Thomas Friedman's reporting on Israel/Palestine over the years. Grant recently penned a piece at irMEP on the subject entitled "Thomas L. Friedman's Israel: The krytron and the cholent heater". In a recent conversation with Peter Beinart, Friedman expressed fear that the two-state solution is dead and has also written an op-ed imploring Joe Biden to save Israel from becoming “illiberal bastion of zealotry”. In other words, Friedman has been critical of Israel as of late. Grant, however, believes the criticism is mild and undermined by his previous writings especially in regards to Israeli spy and movie mogul Arnon Milchan, nuclear weapons and smuggling operations, and Benjamin Netanyahu in the 1980s. Among the topics covered in the course of our conversation: - Nuclear smuggling and Israel's "Project Pinto" - Saudi Arabia, the Abraham Accords, Israel's WeWork boondogle, and the private Israeli salmon farming Project Jonah that funded by large sums of taxpayer dollars/government funding - The NUMEC Affair and Israeli nuclear weapons smuggling - Critiques of Thomas Friedman's writings on globalization (see: The World is Flat and The Lexus and the Oliver Tree) and his "Golden Arches Theory of War" (ie: no two countries with a McDonald's would go to war with each other) - And more!

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Israel and the Palestinians to take steps to calm tension. He has arrived in Israel for meetings with both sides as violence there continues. In the latest incident a Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank. On Thursday, ten Palestinians were killed in Jenin by Israeli forces, while seven Israelis died on Friday when a Palestinian gunman opened fire outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem. Mr Blinken, who is on the second leg of his Middle East visit, will meet Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu later today and the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday. Also in the programme: an attack on a mosque in the Pakistani city of Peshawar has killed at least 32 people and injured 150 others; and the music of Motown legend Barrett Strong.

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. Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and military correspondent Emmanuel Fabian join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Goren discusses the last 30 days of what she's been calling 'Black January,' for the endless news cycle and changing headlines of the new government, creating a sense of pressure more intense than periods of war or conflict. Fabian reviews overnight clashes in Jenin that killed nine Palestinians in clashes with the IDF and a teen shot dead in East Jerusalem while wielding what turned out to be a fake gun. He also talks about a Shin Bet report regarding the arrest of dozens of West Bank Palestinians with ties to Hamas operatives in Gaza, although many of the young suspects didn't realize that Hamas was using them, often to smuggle guns into the West Bank. Goren describes a new AI-powered new robot helping wildlife cross the roads in Israel by learning their reactions and how to startle them into stopping them from risking their lives. Discussed articles include: 9 Palestinians killed as gunmen clash with IDF soldiers in Jenin Masked Palestinian shot dead after aiming fake gun at police in East Jerusalem Shin Bet reveals Hamas attempts to recruit West Bank Palestinians for terror Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Trending Middle East brings you the latest social media and search trends from the Middle East and around the world.   On today's episode, a UN official says Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit to the Al Aqsa compound in East Jerusalem was seen as “particularly inflammatory” and warns of the risk of violence.   Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah opens Hajj 2023 registration for pilgrims in the kingdom.   Dubai recorded almost 23.7 million traveller arrivals last year, up by 89 per cent from 2021.   Prince Harry's tell-all book about life in the UK royal family is due to be released.

*) Ukraine dismisses Putin's ceasefire as 'hypocrisy' President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was seeking a truce to use as a cover to stop Ukrainian advances in the eastern Donbass region. Zelenskyy added that the Russians want to stop “the advances of our boys in Donbass” and bring in more men and equipment. Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on Twitter that Russia "must leave the occupied territories - only then will it have a 'temporary truce'," *) Türkiye, US jointly freeze assets of Daesh affiliates Türkiye and the United States decided to jointly freeze the assets of Daesh terrorist organisation affiliates, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said. The ministry said in a statement, “Türkiye and the US decided to take a joint action on freezing the assets of 5 individuals and 2 legal persons who have been identified to finance the Daesh terrorist organization.” The statement said Ankara would "continue to take effective steps on countering terrorism financing and cooperate with its international partners on the issue." *) Israel gets UNSC flak after firebrand minister storms Al Aqsa compound Palestine and many Muslim and non-Muslim supporters have sharply disagreed with Israel at an emergency UN Security Council meeting over the visit of a firebrand Israeli Cabinet minister to Al Aqsa compound. The council members voiced concern and stressed the need to maintain a status quo at the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem. Palestine's UN envoy Riyad Mansour pushed for the Security Council to take action — a move that was unlikely given the United States traditionally shields Israel. *) Prince Harry reveals he killed 25 people in Afghanistan as Apache pilot Britain's Prince Harry revealed in an upcoming book of his memoirs that he killed 25 people as an Apache helicopter pilot during a tour in Afghanistan. Prince Harry's claim in the book, titled Spare, which will be available at bookstores in the UK next week, came as the book's Spanish version was accidentally put on sale in Spain. The Duke of Sussex, who stepped down from his royal duties, flew during the invasion of Afghanistan and his missions resulted in "the taking of human lives." And finally… *) Mexico nabs drug lord Ovidio 'The Mouse' ahead of Biden tour Mexican security forces captured the son of jailed drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, scoring a high-profile win in the fight against powerful cartels. Ovidio Guzman, nicknamed "El Raton" [The Mouse], was caught in the northwestern city of Culiacan and flown to Mexico City on a military plane. The Defence Minister said the arrest was the result of six months of intelligence work tracking down the 32-year-old, who has allegedly helped to run his father's operations.

*) UNSC to discuss troublemaker Israel minister's visit to Al Aqsa Mosque The UN Security Council will meet to discuss the controversial visit to occupied East Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque compound by a far-right Israeli minister. The 15-member council will convene at 3:00 pm at the United Nations headquarters in New York following a request by the United Arab Emirates and China. There have been fears the visit by Israel's new national security minister, firebrand Itamar Ben-Gvir, could raise tensions in Palestinian territories. *) Ukraine seeks heavy weapons as US predicts intense fight in east Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked French President Emmanuel Macron for promising light AMX-10 RC armoured combat vehicles, saying it showed the need for other allies to provide heavier weapons. Zelenskyy said, "This is something that sends a clear signal to all our partners. There is no rational reason why Ukraine has not yet been supplied with Western tanks." Western allies moved toward supplying armoured battle vehicles to Ukraine but not the heavier tanks it has requested to fight Russia. *) Colombia suspends truce with ELN armed group The Colombian government said it was suspending a ceasefire it had announced with the National Liberation Army armed group, which denied agreeing to any such truce. The reversal dampened hopes for an imminent end to decades of violence that have continued to plague the South American country. Colombian President Gustavo Petro declared earlier that a temporary truce had been agreed upon with the country's five largest armed groups from January 1 to June 30. *) US: Family of 8, including children, found shot dead in Utah home Eight people, including five children, were found dead from gunshot wounds in a southern Utah home, US authorities said. They were found when police did a welfare check at the residence, according to a news release from city officials in Enoch. It doesn't provide any information about what happened or the motive. And finally… *) Pakistan's Senate nominates Türkiye's Erdogan for Nobel Peace Prize Pakistani lawmakers have nominated Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the Nobel Peace Prize for his "efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis." The Senate said it has officially registered the nomination in favour of the Turkish leader. Ankara has yet to issue a statement regarding the nomination.

*) Calls for UNSC meeting over Al Aqsa Mosque The United Arab Emirates and China have called for a UN Security Council meeting after Israel's national security minister entered the Al Aqsa complex in occupied East Jerusalem. Itamar Ben-Gvir's move drew fierce condemnation across the world as the move was seen as a provocation that could exacerbate tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. Sitting on a site sacred to Muslims, Jews and Christians, Al Aqsa is a symbol of Palestinian resistance and a primary flashpoint in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Calm is upheld in the site by a sensitive status quo agreement that is regularly bypassed by Israelis visiting the mosque and praying there despite not being allowed to. *) Germany delays emissions goals Short-term measures to ensure energy security following Russia's Ukraine offensive have left Germany behind schedule in its bid to become carbon-neutral by 2045. Data from a climate think tank showed that Germany's carbon dioxide emissions held steady in 2022 as higher use of oil and coal nullified the reductions in emissions through energy savings. Germany's greenhouse gas emissions were around 761 million tonnes last year, missing a target of 756 million tonnes, despite the country's renewable energy boom. *) McCarthy's bid for House speaker to continue Kevin McCarthy's bid to become the US House speaker has continued despite losing in multiple rounds of voting that threw the new GOP majority into chaos. He won no more than 203 votes in three rounds of voting, losing as many as 20 Republicans from his slim 222-seat majority. But McCarthy said Trump wanted him to stay in the race and told him to bring an end to the House Republican chaos and pull the party together. *) Rail workers continue to strike in UK UK rail workers with the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers will continue to strike in an ongoing dispute over pay. After a break on Thursday, another 48-hour strike will be staged on Friday and Saturday. The demonstrations have crippled rail services and resulted in travel chaos in the UK, which is in the grip of its worst run of worker unrest since the 1980s. As surging inflation follows more than 10 years of stagnant wage growth, many workers who have been unable to make ends meet were prompted to strike. And finally… *) Marvel's Hawkeye posts first selfie after accident Actor Jeremy Renner, who played Hawkeye in Marvel's "Avengers", has posted a selfie from his hospital bed after he suffered a traumatic injury while ploughing snow on New Year's Day. Alongside the selfie on Instagram, showing the actor looking bruised with oxygen tubes in his nose, Renner thanked his fans for their well wishes. The actor had "suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries" in the accident according to his publicist.

How to find peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in one podcast episode? Ha! You 210% can't. But if there is someone who can provide a vision for it, it's Palestinian peace broker Aziz Abu Sarah. Aziz grew up in East Jerusalem and lost a brother to the conflict when he was nine when the Israeli military stormed his home in the middle of the night. At 18, however, he turned his hatred around and today Aziz is one of the world's most powerful and connected peacebuilders and cultural educators. He's a National Geographic Explorer and Ted Fellow and has founded and led countless global conflict resolution organisations including Bereaved Families Forum and the Center for World Religions, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University and co-founded (with an American Israeli-Jew) the first dual narrative tour company (led by a guide from each “side”). We recorded this episode in Tel Aviv a few days before the recent Israeli election and we cover boycotts, Jerusalem (capital or not) and two wild strategies that *actually* work for most conflicts. Added bonus: Our chat cuts to the very heart of what it means to be human.Aziz's dual narrative tour business is Mejdi Tours and he ran this tour with Impact SafariHe's also written a book that shows how to travel as a force for peace I ran a bunch of other interviews with peacebuilders while I was there, which you can find on my substack And here are the organisations employing the dual narrative approach that I promised to list:Combatants for Peace Bereaved Families Forum Interact International Hands of Peace Healing Across the Divides Creativity for PeaceTech for PeaceIf you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" page Subscribe to my Substack newsletter for more such conversations Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious Life Let's connect on Instagram!

A massacre in InstalmentsAS I write this column the number of Palestinians killed this year by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza strip is 207. By the time it is published in a few days time that number will have increased. Last Friday I watched online video of the last moments of Ammar Mufleh, aged 23, shot dead in Huwara, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, by an Israeli soldier. He was the tenth Palestinian killed by Israeli forces in 10 days. MAKING THE CASE FOR IRISH UNITYIn 2019 Professor Colin Harvey and Mark Bassett, Barrister-at-Law, co-authored an independent legal and academic report – 'The EU and Irish Unity: Planning and Preparing for Constitutional Change in Ireland'. It was part of a series of reports which examined the implications of Brexit. Last month the two produced a second report. “'Making the Case for Irish Unity in the EU' was commissioned by The Left in the European Parliament. It explores the legal mechanisms that are part of the Good Friday Agreement for the island of Ireland to be reunited within the EU. The report also sets out the steps the EU can take to provide for such an eventuality.

In this episode I had the pleasure to interview one of the most visible figures in East Jerusalem today: Mahmoud Muna.

With Israel's electoral train chugging along its stations, from polling booth to President's house to parliamentary negotiations, the play is now in Benjamin Netanyahu's half-court. His ability to traverse the obstacles along the way to forming a new coalition government will determine how soon he will head back to the Prime Minister's residence he vacated less than 18 months ago - and at what price.

Heritage claims are unequivocally tied to the idea of socio-political legitimacy. This applies most poignantly amongst communities bound by a shared ethnic, religious, historical, or indeed national, identity. Joel's research investigates fluctuations of socio-political legitimacy vis-à-vis heritage within cross-cultural, and often contested spaces. More specifically, Joel talked about the case study of the Jewish-Israeli-run City of David archaeological site and tourist centre, and the Palestinian Village of Silwan, both of which are situated in East Jerusalem. We also talked about the more than 150 years history of Palestinian workers and diggers employed by a variety of archaeologists up to the current day with the controversial digging led by Elad which also aims at displacing Palestinians from Silwan.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/jerusalemunplugged.

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. US correspondent Jacob Magid and Tech Israel editor Ricky Ben-David join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Magid discusses updates regarding assurances made by President Joe Biden during his visit to the region in July, regarding the Allenby crossing, 4G networks in the West Bank and funding for East Jerusalem hospitals. Ben-David looks at the startup put together by the former CEO of cybersecurity firm NSO with former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who quit politics after being implicated in a corruption scandal. She also talks about the drop in investments in Israeli startups  in the third quarter of 2022, and expectations for the end of the year. Magid speaks about his interview with Ted Deutch, former US representative from Florida who is now at the held of the American Jewish Committee.

Violence in Jerusalem Overnight, Israel's capital saw its worst violence in over a year as Palestinians in East Jerusalem riot. The uptick in violence comes just before Israel's November 1 election. The violence and other recent decisions by caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid have a return to power for Benjamin Netanyahu looking more likely.

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 news editor Amy Spiro join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. A tragic update to open the program: 18-year-old Sergeant Noa Lazar was killed last night when a gunman opened fire in a shooting attack at the Shuafat checkpoint in East Jerusalem. Lazar was a member of the Military Police's Erez battalion. A second casualty, a civilian guard, is still in serious condition at Hadassah Medical Center. Berman brings us the latest twists in the potential maritime border deal with Lebanon. The protests in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini have entered a fourth straight week and sparked solidarity events all over the globe. Berman describes how the international community can support Iranian women. Spiro brings us the fascinating tale of the Miami Boys Choir -- who, incidentally, are not based in Florida at all.

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 and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. During our Wednesday-morning recording, the IDF entered Jenin for an Israeli military raid in which at least three Palestinian gunmen were killed. Fabian gives background. Over the two-day Rosh Hashanah holiday, there were also clashes on the Temple Mount and in east Jerusalem. What was the spark this time and how long are they expected to continue? Last week, while Berman reported from the United Nations General Assembly in New York, British Prime Minister Liz Truss told Prime Minister Yair Lapid that she is reviewing a relocation of the country's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. How seriously should we take this? We take a look at what's happening right now in Ukraine. After a series of contentious referendums for a merger with Russia in occupied Ukrainian territories, officials in three of these regions claimed victory — amid international condemnation of sham ballots. How is Israel reacting and is this a more decisive stance than we've seen before? Fabian recently reported on a joint Israeli and American four-day navy drill in the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea that included American naval drones. Though Iran doesn't have a coastline along the Red Sea, the drill — dubbed “Digital Shield” — had a significant Iranian bent. Fabian explains why. Discussed articles include: Palestinian gunmen ‘planning significant attacks' killed in Jenin clash with troops Police clash with protesters in East Jerusalem for 3rd straight night British PM tells Lapid she is reviewing relocation of UK embassy to Jerusalem Israel rejects annexation votes in occupied Ukraine as Russian proxies claim victory US, NATO vow support for Ukraine after ‘diabolical' Russian annexation votes Zelensky ‘shocked' by lack of Israeli defense support: ‘They gave us nothing' Israel, US wrap up four-day drill in Red Sea with naval drones Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello Daily Briefing listeners, here's a look back at a favorite Times Will Tell episode from the last year, an interview with Israeli rap impresario Shaanan Streett, the founding member of hip hop/funk band Hadag Nahash. It's been 25 years since hip hop rappers Hadag Nahash appeared on the Israeli music scene, introducing their brand of feel-good Middle Eastern groove with a hefty dose of Israeli left-wing politics. They're still writing, singing and performing. Frontman Shaanan Streett has continued to celebrate his six-way partnership, alongside solo ventures including his first novel, "A Moment of Eternity," about Jerusalem skateboarders and graffiti artists. Streett spoke with The Times of Israel for a Times Will Tell episode earlier this year, discussing his book, his decision to continue living and working in his hometown of Jerusalem, and his decade-long effort to learn Arabic. Streett, 50, was born in Israel to American parents and is fluent in Hebrew and English, but didn't begin learning Arabic until he was 40. He said that while Israelis are learning Arabic in greater numbers than ever before, there's something unique about studying it in Jerusalem, whose Arab neighborhoods, in East Jerusalem, are a world apart from the Jewish areas of the capital. "When you study in Jerusalem, you take your car and you cross an unseen line into another world and you park your car in the other world where everybody is now speaking Arabic, where you are now a minority," said Streett. "And if you want to go and buy a beigele, which I do and I do it in Arabic, everybody knows that this here is now the Jew coming to speak in Arabic." It is the diversity found in Jerusalem that has kept Streett in the city, he said, despite his Hadag Nahash bandmates and many friends having migrated to Tel Aviv. "[Jerusalem] reminds you every day that numerous people lead a very different everyday life than you do," said Streett. "And you can dip your toe in that for as deep as you want. So the old, the new, the religious, the secular, the different religions, the different languages, the different cultures. It looks very nice on a postcard. It's sometimes very difficult to live through, but it's always interesting." There's a natural connection between all of it, said Streett, from his initial decision to make hip-hop music in Hebrew to writing about skateboarding, graffiti and even dream interpretation. "It's like you need less of a necktie," said Streett, using a popular Israeli saying that means "come as you are." "You take off the tie and you were a painter, but now you're a graffiti artist. So hip-hop has the same element."

On this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP's Kristin McCarthy is joined by Amy Cohen of Ir Amim to unpack the threat that land registration poses to Palestinians. Though land registration is a complex and bureaucratic process, Ir Amim characterizes it as one of (if not the) most pressing modes of dispossession facing Palestinians living in East Jerusalem. Listen to understand why and how Israel is cynically exploiting land registration to grow settlements, expropriate more land, and push Palestinians out of the city.

As US President Joe Bident heads to Israel, regional security is a top agenda item. Scheduled meetings with Israeli officials will focus on strengthening the regional relationships that Israel has forged with some of its Muslim neighbors. Biden will visit the occupied Palestinian territories in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. And a Russian hacking group's attack on Costa Rican government databases this past spring has had a lasting impact. Also, a new climate change study says the US and China are each responsible for more than $1.8 trillion worth of economic loss from 1990 to 2014 due to climate-related disasters. Plus, we hear the story behind a Peruvian parody song that went viral.
