Podcast appearances and mentions of israel hamas

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire remains in limbo, raising urgent questions: What does each side truly want from a ceasefire — and who gets to define its success? As families continue to plead for the return of all hostages, both living and deceased, international pressure mounts while domestic divisions intensify. We hear from Shosh Bedrosian of Israel TV (ILTV) and Eric Mandel of the Middle East Political Information Network to unpack the emotional, political and strategic stakes on the ground. Meanwhile, in New York, the mayoral race takes an unexpected turn as Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo launch independent campaigns, threatening to split Democrats' vote. At the same time,  Zohran Mamdani, an anti-Israel candidate, is buoyed by growing support. What does this reveal about the direction — and divisions — of New York's Democratic base? Douglas Murray, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, provides insights on the candidates and the future of New York's Democratic Party.

Today's Headlines: President Trump spent the weekend firing off social media rants, watching FIFA with a celebrity entourage (including Melania and Pam Bondi), and threatening Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship. Behind the scenes, tensions rose within the DOJ as FBI deputy Dan Bongino considered resigning over internal clashes about the Epstein investigation, and new reports revealed Kash Patel's FBI is forcing agents to take polygraphs over disloyalty suspicions. Elsewhere, a deadly shooting in Kentucky left four dead, and two major wildfires destroyed historic structures at the Grand Canyon's North Rim. More flash flood warnings hit already-devastated parts of Texas, where FEMA is under fire for letting a flood-prone summer camp avoid safety requirements. Globally, a Palestinian-American was killed by Israeli settlers, as Israel-Hamas talks remain stalled and airstrikes intensify. Trump threatened more tariffs—including 200% on pharmaceuticals—while hinting at a major Russia-related announcement today. NATO's new chief will visit DC this week, just as the State Department undergoes 15% staff cuts. Meanwhile, House Republicans kick off “Crypto Week” ahead of a key vote on the GENIUS Act.

As the Trump administration marks six months in office, it is pursuing a flurry of diplomatic initiatives across the Middle East — some publicly coordinated, others shaped behind closed doors. MEI Distinguished Diplomatic Fellow Mara Rudman joins hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj to assess the administration's broader regional strategy and its handling of key issues including Israel-Hamas ceasefire negotiations, the future of Gaza, US-Iran nuclear diplomacy, Israeli-Arab normalization, Lebanon's political stalemate, and prospects for Israeli-Syrian talks. Rudman, a veteran of the Clinton and Obama administrations, offers a candid assessment of Trump's transactional style, the role of regional partners, and the risks and opportunities of a diplomacy rooted more in personality than in policy consistency. Recorded July 8, 2025

Today we bring you the second of our three part series taking a close look at celebrity media host Piers Morgan and his show Uncensored. Viewed by millions daily, Uncensored has focused intensely on the Israel-Hamas war, Israel-Iran war, and really pretty much all things related to Israel. Somewhat unceasingly. In this interview with Lee Kern, we get into his thoughts on why Uncensored is not just unbalanced but does not even qualify as a serious news or political program. Lee's insights and comments are sharp, incisive and unsparing. He lives the reality of post October 7 life in Israel – based in Tel Aviv – and has strong views on Piers and his show – which are also set out in two long X posts he wrote on June 4. You can read those in the Podcast Notes, as well as Morgan's cheeky response. The issues raised by Lee Kern are serious. We should all be concerned about what passes for media and the fact that independent media are held to no standards of accountability – just ratings. And yes. That is a problem. A very big problem. Have a listen.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Podcast Notes1) Two part post on X, June 4, 2025, by Lee Kern:The Piers Morgan show has repeatedly asked me on as a guest. Their first request was on November 1st 2023 - three weeks after the muslim terrorists Hamas raped and kidnapped hostages. I declined and have done ever since. Their most recent request was this April. The reason why I declined is because of something Piers tweeted in those early days of the war started by Hamas. Whilst we in Israel and the Jewish world were grieving - real grief - because people had been raped, people had been murdered, people had been kidnapped - women, children and babies - whilst we were doing this Piers Morgan was boasting. He was celebrating. He was celebrating how well his viewing figures were doing in his episodes talking about the massacre. “Six million” he bragged in one of his tweets. At the time I glibly I said to myself, “I'm glad someone's doing well out of the rape and kidnaps.” But it truly was despicable and it really gets to the heart of the man. He has no real moral code or value system other than attention. He's an archetypal, soulless media w***e. His show is not designed to illuminate. It is to simply create a freak-show of vapid conflict that appeals to people who simply want a verbal fistfight. Pigs fighting in s**t is Piers' idea of journalism. In truth he knows what he does isn't journalism. At best he might think what he does is entertainment. But it isn't that either. It's simply shitting excrement into public discourse. And the reasonable and legitimate outrage people feel when s**t is pumped into conversations that have real life or death ramifications - Piers - in his misplaced pride - will mistake - or pretend to mistake - for a journalistic job well done. None the less, when his people first wrote to me i thought maybe i could guide Piers into doing some real journalism that would allow the public to weigh up primary evidence for themselves.I replied: “I can't speak this week. Also I don't think I should be a priority. I'm very much in favour of letting people directly affected be pushed to the front of the conversation. Yesterday I met a lady in Sderot who is probably the most perfect and energetic guest Piers could ever engage with - and she was directly in the middle of a battle that lasted 36 hours.” This opportunity to provide viewers with primary evidence and a firsthand account of the massacre didn't happen. There was no serious interest in understanding this conflict. I imagine this applies to any other topic that might be covered. Persistent, his people tried to get me on the show again a few days later. I replied: “I know you're keen to have me. I'm doing something unfashionable that maybe lots of people don't do anymore: I've come here to actually see where the atrocities happened for myself and to speak to survivors so I'm not just some random internet guy mouthing off. Please let me know when you've spoken to ——-. I've told her you will be in touch. I don't want to give her false hope because she's someone who has been part of horrific things and is grieving for her community. Please don't let me be involved in adding to her roller coaster” It didn't happen. His people wrote to me again a few days later to try and get me on the show. I continued to believe that if the public were to be illuminated, then the testimony of an actual survivor was more important than my opinions. So I replied firmly: “What happened with ——- appearing on the show? She's a clear coherent voice who experienced a massacre first hand. Her entire community are now refugees spread across a country. You should be interviewing her.” His team replied: “We couldn't make it work, we've lots of guests and little time alas. Keen to have you on.”I replied:“Why couldn't it work? She's still alive. What's tangibly preventing you from getting her on this week or next? She's an eloquent real person who has been in a massacre and continues to be affected by what you want to report on.“ They ignored this. “Lots of guests and little time?” Well here I was offering to step back to give them a real story. But they weren't interested. They wanted me because I say the words “s**t” and “f**k” and have a comedy background that allows me to be engagingly garish. I'm self aware. I own what I do. But I still seemed to have more of a journalistic value system than Piers and his team and still seemed to believe education and illumination on this horrible situation was more important than just getting on high octane personalities who would argue so that Piers could get more attention and money. And yet again, a few weeks later, they requested me on as a guest. And they sent me eight more requests over the following months that I didn't reply to. So I'll wind this up by saying Piers Morgan isn't going to make or break what happens in this conflict. It won't end until the Islamic fundamentalists Hamas release the hostages and their jihadist tyranny over the population of Gaza - which has included control over their food supply - ends. Finally, seeing as Piers Morgan has shown himself to be demonstrably thin skinned and I'll most likely be blocked by him if he sees this, I may as well finish on the most important point. This is what society knows. This is what even his viewers know. And it's worth us stating even though it's a given: The most objectionable and off putting thing about any Piers Morgan show is Piers Morgan and the poorly crafted simulation of a personality that he has constructed for himself. Piers Morgan as a human being is so very clearly, and so very palpably, a bloviating toad. You couldn't put together a less charming conglomeration of DNA in the rough approximate shape of a human being. He is a slimy bog creature.A toadstool dwelling peasant, high on the methane emitted from his own arsehole. More prolapsed rectum than a man, his anus of a mouth emits half digested ideas like loose excremental sludge. He is a sloshing barrel of smugness and pus. Every pore in his bloated face oozes misplaced arrogance. Misplaced because nothing about his presentation or content merits any kind of pride.In short, ladies and gentlemen, Piers Morgan is a man who can only be described as the Manchester United of c***s.* Piers Morgan's riposte to Lee Kern's post.* Profile of Lee Kern published on May 24, 2025, on ynetnews.com* Lee Kern's Substack - check it out. leekern.substack.comState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Donald Trump says he'll be "very firm" with Benjamin Netanyahu on ending the war in Gaza when the Israeli Prime Minister visits the White House on Monday. He's pressed Hamas to take the deal, threatening 'it will only get worse' if they don't - and, with Iran weakened following Trump's so-called 'daddy diplomacy', the terror group has indicated it's open to a ceasefire. Israel will want the remaining hostages released, but so far Netanyahu has only said: “There will be no Hamas”. So, what is going to break the deadlock? Piers Morgan is joined by lawyer Alan Dershowitz and secretary general of the Palestinian National Initiative, Mustafa Barghouti. Piers then speaks to Leigh Evans, the nurse from Wales who went viral after a video was posted of him begging to Egyptian police to get into Gaza and British commentator Owen Jones, who is left red-faced about his view on Bob Vylan after Piers shows him newfound footage of the rapper on stage...

The world has held a close eye on the Strait of Hormuz lately with Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran. Nearly a quarter of the world's seaborne oil passes through the narrow waterway, and many are worried Iran could shut the strait down. Today on the show, we explore what it would mean for Iran to close off the strait, and what insurance could tell us about tensions in the Middle East.Related episodes:Oil prices and the Israel-Hamas war (Apple / Spotify)How the 'shadow fleet' helps Russia skirt sanctions (Apple / Spotify)For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

As fascist threats escalate globally, activist and playwright Sarah Schulman argues that achieving real change requires embracing imperfection and rejecting "supremacy concepts" – listen as she explains what this means for social justice movements today.Description: What is “solidarity” and what does it require? Giving up on perfection, for one thing, says Sarah Schulman, author of “Conflict is Not Abuse,” and so much more. Award-winning writer, teacher, playwright and activist, Schulman's latest book is “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity”, in which she reflects on years of experiments and learning, from the 1980s to today. In this episode, find out what role GRITtv, an earlier iteration of Flanders' show, played in the movement for Palestinian liberation, and hear a discussion of the Harlem artist Alice Neel. Schulman sits on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Her non-fiction books include “Conflict is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair” and “Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993”. Also in this episode, a commentary from Laura on the assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman, a strategic progressive who practiced solidarity.“When I confronted the Israeli occupation of Palestine, something resonated for me emotionally between that and the AIDS experience. What I felt was similar was that people who were endangered were being falsely depicted as dangerous.” - Sarah Schulman“Right now we're in the middle of a cataclysm of fascism and there's no quick fix. And we have to understand that the idea that you can go in and just fix it is a supremacy concept.” - Sarah SchulmanGuests:  Sarah Schulman, Writer & AIDS Historian; Author, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity This show is made possible by you!

Aaron McIntire reports Israel's unilateral strikes on Iran's nuclear missile sites, military headquarters, and officials, escalating tensions without public U.S. backing, despite President Trump's push for a diplomatic nuclear deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarifies the U.S. is not involved but was informed by Israel, emphasizing protection of American forces. McIntire warns this could dwarf the Israel-Hamas conflict. Trump has dueling messages on immigration, but says he's still vowing the largest mass deportation in history, protecting ICE and Border Patrol. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) is tackled by Secret Service at a DHS press conference in Los Angeles after lunging at the podium to question Secretary Kristi Noem, later meeting to clarify the incident. The House narrowly passes Trump's $9.4 billion DOGE cuts, slashing foreign aid and public broadcasting funds. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shuts down Rep. Sarah Jacobs' (D-CA) culture war jab, citing mental health concerns with gender dysphoria in military readiness. McIntire fields listener questions on Los Angeles riots as law enforcement, congressional grandstanding, and Truth Social's role as Trump's megaphone.    Israel Iran strikes, nuclear sites, Trump administration, Marco Rubio, immigration policy, mass deportation, Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem, DOGE cuts, Pete Hegseth, gender dysphoria, Los Angeles riots, Truth Social, Josh Hawley, minimum wage

As far as we know so far, the strikes have targeted nuclear enrichment sites, military sites, the IRGC leadership, including Hussein Salammi, the head of the IRGC, the Army Chief of Staff, and leading nuclear scientists. Shortly after the blitz began, the IDF Home Front Command announced immediate changes to its guidelines, prohibiting all gatherings for educational, social, and workplace purposes. Israelis have been instructed to remain near bomb shelters as they await the Iranian response. It is an extremely tense moment for Israelis and Jews around the world. For years we've discussed the danger of Iran inching closer and closer to a nuclear weapon. The IDF said in a statement that in recent months it had accumulated evidence that Iran's nuclear program was “approaching the point of no return.” Joining us to unpack the ongoing events that are reshaping the Middle East in real time is Ronen Bergman. Ronen is a staff writer for The New York Times and Senior Correspondent for Military and Intelligence Affairs at Yedhiot Ahronot. Ronen is the recipient of a Pulitzer price for his reporting on the Israel-Hamas war. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

James Coomarasamy, presenter of the BBC's Newshour and The World Tonight, speaks to Mike Huckabee, US Ambassador to Israel. Confirmed in the post two months ago, Mr Huckabee is the former Republican Governor of Arkansas and two-time Republican presidential nominee.He's an Evangelical Christian, who has backed the presence of Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories, which are considered illegal under international law - although Israel rejects this.Some opposition politicians in the US have been critical of his appointment and previous statements he's made about the ongoing war in Gaza.One Democratic senator said Huckabee was "woefully unfit" for the role and accused him of engaging in "brazen denial of the existence of the Palestinian people". But during questioning by a US Senate committee, Huckabee played down some of his past statements, saying he would "carry out the president's priorities", not his, and denied backing the expulsion of Palestinians.He takes up the role amid growing international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and pressure for more humanitarian aid to reach the territory. Despite a number of proposals put forward by the international community, there does not yet appear to be a realistic prospect of an end to the conflict.

In this powerful episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom sits down with former Navy SEAL commander, leadership expert, and bestselling author Jocko Willink for a compelling exploration of modern warfare, leadership, and human nature. Known for his no-nonsense approach to personal discipline and his frontline perspectives, Jocko offers listeners a rare glimpse into how he thinks about global conflicts like Ukraine, Russia, and the Israel-Hamas war—not from the comfort of theory, but from lived experience and profound strategic insight. Tom and Jocko unravel the unpredictable realities of war, the dangers of overconfidence in leadership, and the psychology that drives nations into protracted conflicts. They also examine the concept of "why America loses wars," the test of wills at the heart of every battle, and how who needs to win often determines the real outcome. Whether you care about geopolitics, leadership under fire, or just want to understand how values play out on the world stage, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

This week marked more than 600 days since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. In the wake of Hamas' horrific Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel, Palestinian health officials say at least 50,000 people – including thousands of women and children – have died from Israeli airstrikes and bombings in the Gaza Strip. As the war drags on, protesters on both sides are speaking out and demanding that their governments do more to end the conflict. Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, an Israeli academic and host of the 'History of the Land' of Israel podcast, talks about the nuances of the protests and what they could mean for a potential end to the war.And in headlines: A federal appeals court temporarily reinstated most of President Donald Trump's Liberation Day tariffs, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. will begin "aggressively" revoking the visas of Chinese college students, and the White House acknowledges errors in the hotly anticipated 'Make America Healthy Again' report.Show Notes:Check out Shaiel's podcast – https://tinyurl.com/5n8axdj2Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Following direct talks between the U.S. and Hamas officials, Edan Alexander was freed Monday after more than 19 months in captivity in Gaza. He is the last living U.S. hostage in Gaza. The Israel-Hamas conflict has already exacted a devastating toll. More than 52,000 people in Gaza have died, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Fifty-eight people who were seized by Hamas remain in Gaza, 23 of whom are believed to be alive. Gazans are facing a critical famine risk as Israel blocks aid. Now, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government says it plans to expand the war if Hamas does not meet Israel's demands. Today on “Post Reports,” Elahe Izadi speaks with Middle East reporter Miriam Berger about Israel's plans to escalate the war in Gaza. Today's show was produced by Peter Bresnan with help from Elana Gordon. It was mixed by Sean Carter and edited by Ariel Plotnick with help from Reena Flores.
