Israel is under fire this week as international frustration mounts over chaotic aid efforts in Gaza and fears of an expanded ground offensive. US Envoy Steve Witkoff's new ceasefire proposal, however, has sparked cautious hope, with talks ongoing despite setbacks. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is undergoing a shakeup as Marco Rubio consolidates power in his add-on role as National Security Advisor, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces internal Pentagon strife, doubts about his leadership, and questions about an illegal warrantless wiretap. Finally, President Trump is pushing for a nuclear deal with Iran amid threats of an Israeli strike, complicating an already fragile diplomatic landscape. Carla Anne Robbins, Nahal Toosi, and Karen DeYoung join Ivo Daalder on the Council's stage in Chicago for a special live recording of the farewell episode of the Council's "World Review with Ivo Daalder" podcast.

Here’s everything we know. Karen DeYoung with the Washington Post explains why the U.S. is closely watching South Korea’s political chaos. And one country’s sweeping plan to stop kids from using social media — will it work? Plus, the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, the final outstanding House race is called for Democrats, and a tool to get rid of the jingle you can’t stop humming. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Following the killing of 6 hostages held by Hamas, protests pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu to bring the hostages' home continued this week in Israel. As the Israel-Hamas conflict approaches the one-year mark, talks to return the hostages have stalled, as has progress on a cease-fire deal. Then, Russian forces began a counter-offensive against Ukraine in the southern region of Kursk, while Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on Moscow. Plus, a look at the foreign policy positions taken by each of the US presidential candidates in Tuesday night's debate.

Did you know that less than 2% of women ever build a business to seven figures or beyond in annual revenue? Get ready to be inspired! Karen DeYoung, who owns DeYoung Consulting Services based out of Minneapolis, joins me to  share her business journey building a SEVEN figure consulting firm.  I had the honor of coaching Karen DeYoung for three years from 2017 to 2019 and helping her grow from six figures to multi-six figures. When we first met, she was only working with contractors and I remember her taking that big step of hiring her first full time consultant. Karen and I both hope that her story of steady growth inspires other women, including other black women, to consider the possbiilties of what they might create.

The conflict in Gaza has reached a critical juncture, with the Biden administration's worst fears materializing in the aftermath of Israel's military operation in Rafah. As civilian casualties mount and humanitarian aid dwindles, the prospects for a lasting peace seem increasingly distant. The situation on the ground has become dire, with over a million displaced Gazans struggling to survive amidst rubble and devastation. Meanwhile, tensions between the U.S. and Israeli leadership have escalated, further complicating efforts to bring about a resolution to the crisis. Karen DeYoung from The Washington Post joins to give the latest on what is happening in the Middle East.

After months of vetoes from the U.S - and a few more from Russia and China - the United Nations has finally passed a resolution calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The resolutions took significant compromise and the U.S. abstaining from the vote to go through,. Not everyone was happy with the result. Palestinian leaders and supporters have admonished the UN for allowing the term 'permanent ceasefire' to be removed from the resolution and Netanyahu has expressed feeling betrayed by President Biden. According to the Israeli Prime Minister, America's failure to veto this ceasefire supports Hamas' efforts against Israel. Karen DeYoung from The Post joins the show to dig into the effects of the growing rift between President Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu.

The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has strengthened Putin's impunity. With the death toll nearing 30,000, the WHO warns that the Gaza Strip is now a “death zone.” Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes expand in the region as a new cease-fire deal is underway. World leaders and defense officials met in Munich last week, exposing concerns over the U.S. commitment to Ukraine and Kyiv's ability to win the war. The Council's Ivo Daalder hosts World Review with Deborah Amos, Karen DeYoung, and Steve Erlanger for a discussion on these issues.

Plus, how Taiwan's upcoming election could shake up U.S.-China relations even more. Karen DeYoung, Steve Erlanger, and Prashant Rao join World Review with Ivo Daalder to examine these issues.

Israel and Hamas are closer to a potential hostage deal. In exchange for hostages, Israel would release women and children from Israeli prisons and increase humanitarian aid going into Gaza. Karen DeYoung from the Washington Post gives the latest details on the deal. 

A widening conflict looms over the Middle East, with clashes at the Israel-Lebanon border and air strikes in Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank. The US has placed its forces on high alert, and the EU is calling for increased security amid concerns over a rise in antisemitic attacks. What could a potential escalation of the Israel-Hamas war mean for the region and Washington? The Council's Ivo Daalder discusses these issues with Karen DeYoung, Bobby Ghosh, and Giles Whittell on World Review.

Washington Post associate editor and senior national security correspondent Karen DeYoung is Joe's guest on today's SPX podcast. DeYoung, who has been with the Post for nearly 50 years, grew up in St. Petersburg, and wrote for the St. Petersburg Times in the early 1970s. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist discusses her many years as a foreign correspondent, her encounters with global heads of state and her love of travel – along with her thoughts on the role of the journalist in today's society, objectivity vs. subjectivity, and what it's like to have Jeff Bezos for a boss (Bezos purchased the Post in 2013). 

The headlines have been optimistic about the Middle East of late as the US has begun negotiations to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. But we are still far from a deal and several challenges lie ahead.

From the Ukraine-Russia war and its impact on global markets to the faltering of authoritarian rule and the unexpected revival of the West, they reflect on a tumultuous year and what 2023 might hold.  

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has transformed Europe's relations with Moscow and with Eastern Europe, as exemplified by the EU's energy diversification and transformation of its foreign and security policies. The war has also laid bare Europe's flaws, including its assumptions about the transition to liberal democracy following the Cold War and delusions about Putin's worldviews. Rosa Balfour, director of Carnegie Europe, is joined by Thomas de Waal to unpack the current state of play, lessons to be learned from the past, and the future of relations between Brussels, Moscow, and Kyiv.

And Jason Rezaian weighs the U.S. response to hostage-taking by hostile governments. Read more:With the sentencing of Brittney Griner last week, the clock started ticking on potential U.S. negotiations with Russia to secure the release of the WNBA star and another American, security consultant Paul Whelan. But how do prisoner swaps actually work? What are the considerations both countries have to weigh before agreeing? And what happens after a deal is made? Senior national security correspondent Karen DeYoung breaks down the ins and outs of prisoner swaps. Also, Post Opinions writer Jason Rezaian – who was released as part of a prisoner swap after spending 544 days in an Iranian prison – talks about the growing problem of Americans being taken hostage by hostile governments and what to expect in the Griner case. “I'm asked often if I'm for or against these kinds of exchanges,” he said. “My answer is, that's not the right question. The right question is … ‘What are we doing to deter hostage-taking in the first place?'”

When he retired from the military in the early 1990s, the former United States Secretary of State Colin Powell was one of the most trusted and admired leaders in the country. But by the time he died on October 18, 2021, the role he played in selling the Iraq War to the American public had severely tarnished his reputation. Powell's biographer Karen DeYoung, a top editor at The Washington Post newspaper, tells host Steve Clemons that Powell regretted his role in the war but never admitted that he peddled lies in his infamous speech to the United Nations in February 2003.

Colin Powell, the first Black U.S. secretary of state, died Monday. We reflect on his career and legacy with Karen DeYoung, author of Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell, and the senior national security correspondent for The Washington Post.

The legacy of Colin Powell, the first Black secretary of state, is complicated — by his role in the Iraq war, by the evolution of the Republican Party and by how he lived his life after public office.Read more:Former secretary of state Colin Powell died Monday of complications from covid-19. His long career in the public eye — as a decorated military officer and statesman — was marked by choices he made leading up to the Iraq War. But Powell's life is also characterized by a shift away from the Republican Party, and his adherence to the old guard of American conservatism. The Post's Karen DeYoung, who wrote a biography of Powell, reflects on Powell's life and the complex lessons of his legacy.

Watching the chaotic end of America's longest war, we've been thinking a lot about the terrorist attack that set it in motion. We interviewed colleagues who covered 9/11 to try to make sense of how that day changed the country and the world.Read more:“Where were you on September 11th?” Most Americans over a certain age have a 9/11 story — of the moment they heard the news of the terrorist attacks, or of anxiously calling family members to make sure they were okay. In the 20 years since the attacks, that day for some may feel like a slowly fading memory. But the direct consequences of that Tuesday in 2001 are still playing out in the news in front of us every day.Today on Post Reports, we're telling the story of 9/11 through the eyes of our newsroom. We spoke with Post colleagues who covered it — from senior editors, to reporters at the Pentagon, to an intern.“It changed everyone's lives,” says Post reporter Juliet Eilperin, who was covering Congress that day, “not only in terms of those who lost people that they cared about that day, but what it meant for the commitment of our military and what it meant for people living in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Middle East.”As the Afghanistan war comes to a harrowing close, we look at how the 9/11 terrorist attacks shaped our world and how the consequences of that day are still with us. This story was produced by Ariel Plotnick and Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Maggie Penman, Renita Jablonski and Martine Powers.It was scored and mixed by Ted Muldoon, who wrote original music for this show. Reena Flores and Rennie Svirnovskiy were also a huge help with this story.In this story, you'll hear the voices of Leonard Downie, Arthur Santana, Juliet Eilperin, Valerie Strauss, Amy Goldstein, Amy Argetsinger, Marc Fisher, Katie Shaver, Karen DeYoung, Mike Allen, Rosalind S. Helderman, Chuck Lane, Debbi Wilgoren and Matt Vita. Thank you to WTOP News for sharing its 9/11 archive.We talked to so many people for this story who helped shape our understanding of that day, including Tracy Grant, Freddy Kunkle, Dana Milbank, Ellen Nakashima, Ann Gerhart and Dudley Brooks. And a big thank-you to Joe Heim, who pitched this idea to our show.The Post has many other stories reflecting on the anniversary of 9/11 and how our country has changed 20 years later.Listen to “America's Song,” a special podcast series from The Post about how a singing police officer comforted a grieving nation after 9/11 — and why the moment couldn't last.9/11 was a test.

National security reporter Karen DeYoung explains what we know from the long-awaited intelligence report. Foreign affairs columnist Ishaan Tharoor discusses the Mideast problems piling up for Biden, and whether the new administration will be able to accomplish its ambitious agenda in the region. “After four years of what's been perceived as kind of wrecking-ball diplomacy by Trump when it comes to the Middle East, it's a pretty thorny set of challenges that await President Biden, having to both think through what these challenges mean for his American interests, but also having to undo some of the work that Trump did,” Tharoor says.The pandemic has been dragging on for almost a year now, and we want to hear from listeners about how you’re coping.

There are big questions facing the Trump administration about its approach to national security. On Monday, President Trump named Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to be his new national security adviser. McMaster has been critical of how the Bush administration handled the first days of the Iraq war, and his views could lead to a change of tactic in the region. On this episode of Indivisible, hosts Kai Wright and the Economist's John Prideaux take calls from Trump voters on whether they still have confidence in the President’s ability to keep us safe at home -- and abroad. Karen DeYoung, senior national security correspondent for the Washington Post, will discuss the new national security advisor and the leaks coming out of the intelligence community. Plus, on this President's Day, Harvard historian and New Yorker writer Jill Lepore will talk about President Trump’s role in American myth making and how the story of America’s founding mission has changed over time.

Tom teaches courses on social entrepreneurship and philanthropy at Columbia University and has published widely in academic journals on topics including housing policy, crime and geography, advertising strategy, broadband technology, and technology adoption by senior citizens. Prior to founding OATS, Tom worked as a tenant organizer working with low-income residents in Harlem and the South Bronx. He has a B.A. in Latin from Columbia College and a PhD in Political Science from the City University of New York. In this episode, we discussed: key challenges older adults face getting online. how OATS helps older adults use technology to stay engaged and enhance their overall quality of life. specific policy recommendations for ensuring older adults are both connected and actively using technology.  Resources   OATS Senior Planet This Chair Rocks by Ashton Applewhite SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard NEWS ROUNDUP Missy Ryan, Ellen Nakashima and Karen DeYoung of the Washington Post report that the Obama administration has announced sanctions against Russia for executing cyberattacks on American institutions, including the Democratic National Committee, and releasing sensitive material to the public, in an effort to sway the November presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. The sanctions include the shutting down of two Russian facilities in Maryland and on Long Island which U.S. officials believe were used to collect intelligence. President Obama also expelled 35 Russian agents believed to be involved in the hacks. The President also said the U.S. may undertake covert activity to undermine Russia. But the Kremlin has vigorously denied the hacks, with Russsian President Vladimir Putin calling President Obama's response "irresponsible diplomacy". Yet, Putin has said Russia will hold off on a tit-for-tat response and not expel U.S. agents working in Russia or close American facilities there, until they see how Trump will respond following the inauguration on January 20th. Camila Domonoske has the story for NPR. Here's the link to the DHS and FBI report on the Russian intrusion, which has been dubbed Grizzly Steppe. Andrew Kramer has a nice piece in the New York Times describing how Russians recruited hackers for its cyberwar against the United States.  -- Ellen Nakashima also reported in the Washington Post that President Obama has signed a bill that would work to split U.S. Cybercommand from the National Security Administration in order to promote administrative efficiency. But the split can't happen unless it is approved by the defense secretary and the chair of the Joint Chiefs of staff, which may or may not happen under the Trump administration.  -- House Speaker Paul Ryan wants to stop sit-ins by members of Congress on the House floor. Speaker Ryan introduced a rules package last week which would attempt to curtail live streaming on the house floor by imposing sanctions of $500 for the first livestreaming offense and $2,500 for each subsequent offense, with ethical citations also a possibility. Back in June, Democrats had live-streamed a sit-in on the House floor to protest Republicans' failure to introduce gun control legislation. The livestream was organized in response to the fact that Republican leaders had turned off tv cameras in the chamber, preventing the public from viewing the sit-in on C-Span.
