Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is day 54 of the war. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur and Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's podcast. Underage and female Palestinian security prisoners are released at a ratio of three inmates per hostage freed. Keller-Lynn explains what is the range of crimes committed by the freed prisoners. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Tuesday threatened to break apart the government if Israel does not restart its war with Hamas, currently on a negotiated pause. Are these idle threats? Rettig Gur delves into why Israelis are restraining themselves to swallow a pause in fighting as hostages are released, but unlikely to support any cessation to the fighting in Gaza. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Live blog November 29, 2023 10 Israeli and 2 Thai hostages arrive back in Israel after 53 days in Gaza captivity Attempted murder, shootings, bombings: Most freed Palestinians were held for attacks Ben Gvir threatens to tear down government if war not resumed THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Last month I read Hamas-Israel story from an angle few will touch, but is critical: overpopulation, which I wrote about in my post Overpopulation in Israel and Gaza. The population in Israel and Palestine have both more than quintupled since 1950. There are plenty of sources of problems there, but not many places can handle that kind of growth, especially when mostly desert.The article led me to read Alon's book The Land Is Full: Addressing Overpopulation in Israel. You can't understand the situation there without including population---including human violence and environmental degradation.Alon isn't only a professor. He also served in the Knesset, Israel's parliament. He's one of the few politicians to talk about overpopulation. In Israel it's impossible to miss, though many people still want to keep growing it.In our conversation, we talk about population, participating in politics, the meaning of his book title The Land Is Full, and Hamas.Alon's page at Tel Aviv University Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is day 50 of the war. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and Knesset reporter Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's podcast. Last night 13 Israelis returned to their families as part of the cease-fire agreement brokered by Qatar and the US between Israel and Hamas. Another 13 are expected to be released shortly today. We discuss the nail-biting release process and the happy reunions. Israel needs to “pay” for every one Israeli with three Palestinian prisoners. Who are the prisoners who are being released? During this ceasefire, the expectation is that there will be an increase in humanitarian aid trucks allowed into the Gaza Strip. Is that happening so far? Finally, even as international women's organizations are still silent on the mass rapes committed by Hamas on October 7, today marks the United Nations-sponsored International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Keller Lynn reported on a troubling new trend in calls to crisis lines since the war. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Live blog November 25, 2023 Israel awaits 2nd group of hostages to be freed Saturday late-afternoon 13 Israelis, including 4 kids, back in Israel after held hostage in Gaza for 49 days Domestic violence exacerbated by wartime, raising concerns over looser gun policies THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Stories of civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

As the war in Gaza continues, it may seem the worst possible time to revisit the idea of a permanent political resolution of the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict. US President Joe Biden however, says a two-state solution is still possible. So how realistic is that aspiration? If not two states, what alternatives are there and which country, if any, is trusted by both sides to broker a deal? Amidst the violence, is there any reason to hope? Shaun Ley is joined by: Anshel Pfeffer, an Israeli journalist based in Jerusalem who writes for the Economist and the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Tahani Mustafa, who is British-Palestinian and a senior Palestine analyst at the International Crisis Group. Dennis Ross, who was Middle East Envoy in Clinton Administration and later served as Special Assistant to President Obama on his National Security Council.

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. Today is day 41 of the war. Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and environmental reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Keller-Lynn discusses how the police is proceeding with investigations of rape on October 7, although it's not yet clear how the cases will be built and who will be ultimately tried, given the lack of physical evidence. Surkes looks at members of Israel's Arab Druze civilian community who have thrown themselves behind the war effort. Keller-Lynn explains why two Arab MKS were suspended and had pay docked by Knesset Ethics Committee for remarks about IDF war crimes and denying October 7 atrocities. Surkes talks about nature rehabilitation center for troubled teens in Tzur Hadassah, outside Jerusalem, where a lack of a bomb shelter hinders the program's progress now, when teens need it most. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

Kritik bedeutet nicht gleich Leugnung. Dafür kämpfen alle Kritiker der letzten Jahre. Kritik an der Corona-Politik ist nicht gleich Corona-Leugnung, Kritik an der Klimapolitik ist nicht gleich Klima-Leugnung, Kritik an der aktuellen kriegerischen Auseinandersetzung ist nicht gleich die Leugnung des Existenzrechtes Israels. Was ist aus dem Diskurs, aus dem Bemühen um friedliche Konfliktbewältigung geworden? "Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres und Jassir Arafat erhielten den Friedensnobelpreis für ihren Mut, die Logik ewiger Gewalt und ewigen Leidens in Frage zu stellen. Wo sind diese Führungskräfte heute? Und wo ist die westliche Welt, die auf eine friedliche Lösung drängt? Wer sieht all die Menschen, die Kinder, die Zivilisten, die Opfer? Wo sind diejenigen, die es wagen zu glauben, dass Frieden möglich sei?" Das schreibt das schwedische Aftonbladet in dieser Woche und weiter: "Diplomatie – nicht Raketen, Luftangriffe und Drohnen – ist das Einzige, was Israel und Palästina Sicherheit bringen kann. Es klingt naiv, das zu sagen, wenn die Logik des Krieges und seine Propagandisten die Szene übernommen haben. Aber es ist die Wahrheit.“ Wann ist die Friedensliebe abhanden gekommen? Den Begriff "Staatsräson" weitete Angela Merkel im Jahr 2008 in einer Rede vor der Knesset von Deutschland auf den Staat Israel aus. Staatsräson bedeutet das Streben nach Sicherheit und Selbstbehauptung eines Staates mit beliebigen Mitteln. Er hat allerdings nichts, aber auch gar nichts mit der Sicherheit von allen hier in Deutschland lebenden Menschen, ob jüdischen, muslimischen oder christlichen Glaubens, zu tun. Wie darf ein Fizekanzler Habeck beides unlauter miteinander verquicken? Das fragt sich auch Mohssen Massarrat, der emeritierte Professor für Politik und Wirtschaft der Uni Osnabrück. Massarrat war Vertrauensdozent der Friedrich-Ebert- und der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, seit 2002 ist er Mitglied des Wissenschaftlichen Beirats von Attac Deutschland.

Our guest is Chaim Oren, an expert on resilience, wellbeing and high performance, who advises professional sportspeople and leading CEOs on fulfilling their human potential. When it comes to strengthening personal resilience, Chaim quotes Victor E. Frankl, Auschwitz survivor and author of Man's Search for Meaning: “If you have the why you can endure any how”. Frankl, who conceptualised “logotherapy” a therapeutic approach to find personal meaning in life, believed anyone, anywhere could “rise up to any challenge”. “If you develop a life meaning you can overcome any difficulties, dangers and hardships". Chaim is the son of two Holocaust survivors who arrived in British mandate Palestine on the Exodus ship in 1947. His late uncle Dov Shilansky, the 12th speaker of the Knesset, was a close confidant of Menachem Begin. He's famous for saying, "we don't have another choice, we must fight for our life. I won't put up my head in the handing rope again." We develop our conversation into how Israel comes together in times of existential crisis and how the intense unity has followed on from intense political divisions, created by the upheaval to reform the judiciary. Stories of great personal courage have emerged amid Hamas' savagery and brutality on October 7th. Listen now for a story of incredible heroism from an everyday Israeli, Rachel Edri, who kept Hamas fighters at bay for hours and hours and saved her own and her father's lives. Chaim has a wealth of anecdotes and quotes in a rich conversation. I hope you enjoy Chaim Oren's company as much as I did. Jonny Gould's Jewish State is supported by Dangoor Education.

This week, we sit down with Dr. Michael Oren, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States and former member of the Knesset, and Salam Fayyad, the former Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority. We hear from both perspectives on the main roadblocks to peace and what needs to happen going forward. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in a U.S. television interview, saying that Israel must be responsible for security in Gaza. One Decision's resident spymaster, Sir Richard Dearlove shares his thoughts on how the international community needs to get involved in the future of Gaza's security.

Knesset parliamentary committees met last week to discuss the impact of the war on people with disabilities, and on children with special needs who have been evacuated. The organization Larger than Life, which supports families affected by pediatric cancer, presented in the discussions the challenges the crisis poses for their community --  emotional, financial and medical. Efrat Lichtman, the CEO of Larger Than Life, spoke to KAN's Naomi Segal about what the organization has been doing to support its families, and what still needs to be done.

Just ahead of her first visit to Canada as Israel's newly-appointed Special Envoy on Combatting Antisemitism, Michal Cotler-Wunsh had strong criticism of the Trudeau government's decision to abstain last week on a vote at the United Nations' General Assembly about the Israel Hamas war. Cotler-Wunsh calls the decision by Canada to abstain, rather than vote “No”: “worse than silence”. The new special envoy arrives in Canada today for talks in Ottawa on Parliament Hill, and then speaks in Toronto at a fundraiser for a Jewish group. Cotler-Wunsh is Israeli, but grew up in Canada, the daughter of professor Irwin Cotler, human rights crusader and Canada's own first Special Envoy fighting antisemitism – a position he just finished last week. Cotler-Wunsh was apppointed to her new post just three weeks before the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on Southern Israel killed over 1,400 people and kidnapped over 239 more, using tactics which she calls “genocidal”. She's working feverishly now to explain to the world why Jews and allies must fight “this existential war” on the Jewish State and people, and why Hamas's tactics have roots in age-old antisemitism now disguised as modern anti-Zionism. As you will hear, some moments of panic ensued when Cotler-Wunsh joined The CJN Daily host Ellin Bessner from her office in Tel Aviv right in the middle of a rocket attack.

As Israel enters the ground invasion phase of its war with Gaza, public perception of Israel has fallen in the eyes of many, especially younger people who don't have all the facts. In addition, international bodies like the United Nations and European Union have skewed pro-Arab to the detriment of Israeli lives. Host Steven Shalowitz sits down with Ruth Wasserman Lande, a former Israeli Knesset member, to discuss the hypocrisy of protesters supporting those whose values diametrically oppose they're own, how Israel values Palestinian lives more than their own government, and Iran's involvement in the attacks.

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. Knesset reporter Carrie Keller-Lynn and Tech Israel editor Sharon Wrobel join host Jessica Steinberg on today's episode. Today is day 25 of the war, marked by the return of kidnapped soldier Ori Megidish who was rescued by IDF forces in an overnight raid, proof, said Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, that Israel can rescue hostages as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismisses calls for a ceasefire, calling that a surrender to Hamas. Keller-Lynn discusses the sit-down Gallant held with reporters, in which he delineated phases of the war, currently, he said in its second phase, and expected to take many months in order to rid Gaza of Hamas. Wrobel describes the situation at the Ashdod and Haifa ports, as international shipping companies try to understand those locations vis a vis Gaza and the war with Hamas. Keller-Lynn talks about visit to Kibbutz Nir Oz with Hadas Calderon, who survived the October 7 massacre with two of her children, while her mother and niece were killed and her two other children and ex-husband are captives in Gaza. Steinberg mentions the opening of Empty Beds, an installation at Jerusalem's Safra Square of 230 beds, representing each person taken captive or missing since October 7.

Israel says it's increasing air strikes and ground operations in Gaza and has again warned Palestinians in Gaza City to move south.

The world is witnessing in real time a genuine mass slaughter of humans. The carnage in Gaza is rapidly descending in horror on the scale of the Nazi slaughter of Jews in World War 2 and the Turk's genocide of Armenian Christians in 1915. Western nations are applauding Israel's bombing rampage in Palestinian neighborhood, churches, mosques, and hospitals. American Evangelical church leaders are using the Old Testament biblical scriptures as justification of Israel's bloodlust to kill off 2.5 million Palestinian men, women, and children. Today, a member of the Israeli Knesset openly endorsed genocide and proposed the complete destruction of every city and town in Gaza.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Lors de sa visite en Israël ce 24 octobre, Emmanuel Macron a proposé qu'une coalition internationale soit mise en place pour combattre le Hamas, à l'image de celle qui existe pour lutter contre l'État islamique. Comment accueillir cette proposition ? Entretien avec Boaz Bismuth, député israélien du parti Likoud à la Knesset.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the free world doesn't want to be free anymore, and democracies don't want to be democracies anymore because we have become weak and are being destroyed from within by Marxism and terrorism. Our schools are all in on the destruction of America because the vast majority of public institutions have been devoured by Marxism. Hamas is killing their own people just like aggressive autocracies before them like Mao or Stalin because they seek to re-engineer society and human beings, and if you do not conform to the ideology you become expendable. The overlay between Marxism and Islamic Nazism is more similar than dissimilar. Also, the left in Israel is as bad as the left in America, and they want to fundamentally change the country and control the elections. Benjamin Netanyahu offered modest changes to the Israeli Supreme Court to return more control to the Knesset, which were rejected and he was told he doesn't have the authority. The Israeli left backed by the American Democrat left and the Biden Administration wants to destroy Netanyahu. Later, there was no basis for the judge in Manhattan to fine Donald Trump $5,000 because he did not like what Trump posted. This was an effort by a Democrat judge to put a scarlet letter on Trump because the defendant has the right to speak out and defend themselves. Meanwhile, the Judge in D.C. stayed her own censorship order, and if the prosecution is making their case publicly then so can the defendant. Learn more about your ad choices.

Among the questions we've been getting since October 7 are those about antisemitism. Does this time feel different? Why? Or, another question, when is it appropriate to be critical of Israeli Government policy, and when does it cross the line into antisemitism? What is the difference between antisemisitm and anti-zionism? Or is there a distinction at all? Is the latter simply a modern-day version of the former? These are some of the issues we discuss in this episode with our guests: Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Michal Cotler Wunsh, who is the Israeli Government's Special Envoy for Combating Global Antisemitism (she is also a former Member of Israel's Knesset). Before we move to these two interviews, we speak with Ethan Missner about the life of Israeli soldier Omer Balva, who fell last week.

Hace algo más de treinta años dio comienzo en Madrid un proceso de paz para poner fin al conflicto entre Israel y Palestina. Ese proceso culminó dos años y medio más tarde en los acuerdos de Oslo, una serie de compromisos firmados entre el Gobierno de Israel, presidido entonces por Isaac Rabin y por Yasir Arafat, líder de la Organización para la Liberación de Palestina, más conocida como OLP. Ambos escenificaron el acuerdo en una fotografía histórica tomada junto a la Casa Blanca con Bill Clinton como mediador. Los acuerdos preveían la creación de un Gobierno autónomo palestino en los territorios ocupados que iría evolucionando hasta la completa independencia y la conformación de un Estado palestino. Ese Gobierno pasó a llamarse oficialmente Autoridad Nacional Palestina. Rabin y Arafat se dieron cinco años más para negociar los flecos más espinosos como la cuestión de Jerusalén, los asentamientos israelíes en las zonas ocupadas, el estatus de los refugiados palestinos y la delimitación definitiva de las fronteras entre ambos Estados. Este primer paso era fundamental ya que incluía reconocimiento mutuo de las partes. Los israelíes, que hasta ese momento calificaban a la OLP como organización terrorista, la reconocieron como representante legítima del pueblo palestino. La OLP, por su parte, reconoció el derecho a existir del Estado de Israel y renunció al terrorismo y a destruir Israel con la idea de volver al momento previo a la partición del mandato británico de Palestina en 1947. Rabin accedió también a ir retirando las unidades del ejército israelí que permanecían en los territorios ocupados. La retirada dio comienzo en 1994 en Jericó y fue avanzando a lo largo de los siguientes años. El acuerdo fue celebrado por toda la comunidad internacional, pero no tanto en el seno de Israel y Palestina. La discusión en el Knesset se prolongó durante varias sesiones y los acuerdos fueron ratificados con la oposición del 40% de los diputados. En el lado palestino la OLP, reconvertida ya en el partido Fatah, los apoyó, pero no sucedió lo mismo con grupos como la Yihad Islámica o Hamas. A pesar de ello, los acuerdos salieron adelante. Ambas partes tenían la intención de implementarlos en el lapso de unos pocos años y poner fin así a un conflicto que se prometía eterno y sin solución. Para contribuir a la pacificación los dos firmantes, Yasir Arafat e Isaac Rabin fueron galardonados con el premio Nobel de la paz, pero la paz nunca llegó. Los enfrentamientos se han mantenido hasta el día de hoy. Se han producido guerras a mayor o menor escala en Gaza y el sur del Líbano, Cisjordania disfruta de una paz muy frágil, rota de vez en cuando por disturbios y el terrorismo se ha cebado con Israel en el último cuarto de siglo ocasionando centenares de víctimas mortales. Ahora que nos encontramos inmersos en la última de las guerras provocada por los ataques del 7 de octubre, muchos son los que se preguntan por qué aquel marco trazado en Oslo y que tanto tiempo costó lograr ha fracasado. Las razones son muchas y ambas partes son responsables de ello. Quizá aprendiendo de los errores que se han cometido pueda en un futuro ponerse en marcha un proceso parecido. Pero para ello tiene que haber voluntad algo que, al menos por ahora, no existe.

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. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and Knesset reporter Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Jessica Steinberg on today's episode. Schneider discusses latest on hostages and presence of French President Emmanuel Macron as vital to the possible escalation with Hezbollah. Keller-Lynn said foreign press wanted additional proof of rape and beheadings after seeing images of Hamas atrocities released by IDF. Schneider and Keller-Lynn discuss status of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu right now, who hasn't spoken in Hebrew to local press in months and whose poll results have dipped dramatically. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Live blog October 24, 2023 IDF shows foreign press Hamas bodycam videos, photos of murder, torture, decapitation Wartime Knesset pushes municipal elections to January 30, instead of next week After blowing up ties with the media, Netanyahu now fears taking questions in wartime Designers sew for combat soldiers, pivoting from fashion to function Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

On October 21st, 1957 Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip visited New York City. It was the final stop on their tour. The next day they returned to the United Kingdom. Meanwhile in Washington, President Eisenhower was meeting with the U.K.'s Prime Minister Harold MacMillan and NATO Chief Paul-Henri Spaak. Their chat was over Middle East policy, rocket deployment, and the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik. On Friday October 25th at 7:30AM, the NBC World News Roundup took to the air talking of developments. The British and US were butting heads on Middle East policy, while Britain wanted the two countries to share nuclear secrets. France was complaining that the U.S. and England weren't allowing technological access. NATO Chief Spaak was expected to invite France to the upcoming talks. After this meeting Prime Minister MacMillan was to give Canadian PM John Diefenbaker an in-person report on the talk. In London, the Prime Minister's Conservative party's grip was loosening. The Socialist Labour Party had recently taken a seat in the House of Commons and the leaders of two major trade unions were going ahead with wage demands to counter inflation. All countries were listening for word from Moscow on how Sputnik was doing. The U.S. was focusing on reports that its carrier rocket was outpacing the satellite, while also continuing to push its own space advancements. On Saturday October 26th, Sputnik 1's batteries ran out after its three-hundred-twenty-sixth orbit around the Earth. The following Monday Ytzak Ben-Zvi was reelected president of Israel by the Knesset congress. The next day, October 29th, Moshe Dwek threw a grenade in the Knesset chambers injuring several ministers. In the wake of Turkish elections, riots broke out in six different locations. And in Flagstaff, Arizona, a U.S. Air Force tanker plane crashed into a mountain, killing all sixteen crew members.

This episode will be the first of a few conversations in which we touch on the range of directions this October 7th war could go (especially when considering comparisons to Israel's previous wars, including those with Hamas and also the 1973 Yom Kippur War). Michael Oren is the author of numerous books, including: “Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East” and “Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East: 1776 to the Present”. Micahel also served in the paratroopers in the IDF after moving to Israel. Later on, he served as Israel ambassador to the United States, and as a Member of Knesset and Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Office. He is a graduate of Princeton and Columbia, and was a visiting professor at Harvard, Yale, and Georgetown.

On today's show, Ofer discusses being banned from the Knesset for 45 days on 18th October due to his critical stance on Israel in the conflict. GUEST OVERVIEW: Ofer Cassif is an Israeli politician and member of the Knesset since April 2019. Ofer represents Hadash and is the sole Jewish member of the party within the Knesset.

Knesset Member Ofer Cassif on Ending Violence as the Only Mutual Security for Israelis and Palestinians.In this episode we turn to the conflict in Israel-Palestine and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We're joined by Dr. Ofer Cassif, a member of the Israeli Knesset with the Hadash-Ta'al coalition. He calls for an end to the occupation through peaceful means because he believes that the security of Israelis and Palestinians is interconnected and mutually dependent.One day after our interview, Dr. Cassif was punished by the Knesset with a 45 day ban from participating in Knesset sessions due to his critical interviews with international media and comments condemning the State of Israel for the crisis in Gaza. 

« Benyamin Netanyahu survivra-t-il politiquement à l'un des plus grands désastres de l'histoire d'Israël ? », s'interroge Le Figaro. « Certes, dix jours après la sanglante attaque du Hamas, les Israéliens font bloc derrière leur drapeau. L'armée s'est fixée un objectif : détruire le mouvement islamiste qui règne depuis 2007 sur la bande de Gaza. Plus tard viendra l'heure des commissions d'enquête, chargées de faire la lumière sur les causes de l'échec du 7 octobre. En attendant, les réservistes répondent en masse à l'appel de l'armée, la solidarité s'organise, les dons affluent, les volontaires suppléent à la paralysie de la puissance publique. Mais, note Le Figaro, dans les rues, la colère du peuple israélien contre son Premier ministre est palpable. Le 'King Bibi', qui a entamé en décembre dernier son troisième mandat en tant que Premier ministre, voit dangereusement pâlir son étoile. Et c'est tout un système qui pourrait sombrer avec lui. »« Tu étais où ces dernières années ? »Et Le Figaro de citer le quotidien israélien centriste Yediot Ahronot : « Netanyahu doit savoir que, même s'il ne reconnaît pas sa responsabilité, le public israélien n'oubliera pas. Devant la Knesset hier, Netanyahu a parlé de tout sauf d'une chose : sa responsabilité. Il a parlé des victimes du massacre, mais sans mentionner qu'il est responsable de tout le sang qui a coulé. Il a parlé du 7 octobre comme d'un jour d'infamie, mais il n'a pas dit pourquoi : à cause d'une débâcle de l'armée et des services de renseignements, et à cause d'un gouvernement failli, aux priorités perverties. (…) Sans blague, s'exclame encore Yediot Ahronot, Netanyahu, tu étais où ces dernières années ? »« Pleutre ! »Libération ne mâche pas non plus ses mots… « En échouant à protéger les Israéliens, Benyamin Netanyahu a failli à sa mission la plus essentielle, affirme le journal. Son refus de reconnaître la moindre responsabilité signe sa faillite morale. (…) Aucune excuse publique pour avoir déplacé l'armée des pourtours de Gaza jusqu'aux colonies de Cisjordanie, à seule fin de protéger les colons et de satisfaire ses alliés d'extrême droite. Aucune excuse publique pour avoir dédaigné les alertes lancées peu avant la tragédie. Rien. Ah si, pardon, s'exclame Libération : le Premier ministre israélien a établi des responsabilités, mais ce n'étaient pas les siennes. Les responsables, il faut les trouver à la tête de l'armée et du Shin Bet (le renseignement intérieur), voire parmi ces gauchistes laïques qui ne respectent pas le shabbat. Bref, assène encore Libération, cet homme que l'on savait déjà corrompu, menteur, prêt à brader la démocratie israélienne pour se maintenir au pouvoir, se révèle être aussi un pleutre. Il n'échappera pas à une commission d'enquête. »Nos enseignants : derniers remparts contre l'obscurantismeÀ la Une également, émotion et recueillement hier dans les écoles en France, trois ans après l'assassinat de Samuel Paty et trois jours après l'assassinat au couteau vendredi dernier à Arras d'un autre professeur, Dominique Bernard.Le Monde laisse éclater sa colère : « que le métier de professeur puisse, en France, être considéré comme "à risque" est inacceptable. Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Arras… Le pays sait désormais ce qui l'attendrait si le meurtre de Dominique Bernard laissait intacte une certaine naïveté à propos des visées islamistes sur l'école, s'il ne sonnait pas comme un appel au pays à se mobiliser autour de ses professeurs et au ministre de l'Éducation nationale à programmer dans la durée la revalorisation du métier des enseignants, derniers remparts contre l'obscurantisme. »Avoir un travail ne suffit plus pour vivre…Enfin, aujourd'hui 17 octobre, c'est la Journée mondiale du refus de la misère. Avec ce grand titre de La Croix : « lutte contre la pauvreté : pourquoi on n'y arrive pas. (…) Le chômage baisse (en France) et pourtant la pauvreté semble s'aggraver d'année en année. Un paradoxe dont l'explication réside dans des causes structurelles profondes. »L'une de ces causes, pointe le quotidien catholique, « c'est que le travail ne paie plus. Depuis les années 1990 se sont développés tout un tas d'emplois mal rémunérés, avec les CDD, le temps partiel, l'auto-entrepreneuriat… Cette uberisation de la société contribue à ce qu'avoir un travail ne suffise plus pour vivre. »Et « si lutter contre la pauvreté est une question d'argent, c'est aussi et surtout une question de choix politique, relève encore La Croix. La suppression de la taxe d'habitation coûte 20 milliards d'euros chaque année. Porter le revenu minimum à 900 euros, soit l'équivalent du seuil d'extrême pauvreté, c'est entre 7 et 10 milliards d'euros. »

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2023! El primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu, compareció este lunes ante los diputados de la Knesset, el parlamento israelí, para dar cuenta de la situación del conflicto. Aprovechó su intervención para advertir a Irán y a la organización terrorista Hezbolá de que eviten meterse más en este asunto, les avisó en inglés que no lo hagan, que no les pongan a prueba en la frontera norte porque el precio a pagar será ahora más caro que en ninguna ocasión anterior. Semejante advertencia no era más que una reacción a las palabras pronunciadas este domingo por el ministro de Exteriores iraní, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, que exigió que el ejército israelí detuviese su ofensiva en Gaza o, de lo contrario, el denominado “eje de la resistencia” acaudillado por Irán actuará de modo ejemplar. Por “eje de la resistencia” hay que entender la alianza de las tres grandes organizaciones terroristas que operan en aquella zona y que han declarado la guerra a Israel: Hezbolá, la Yihad Islámica y Hamas. Netanyahu aprovechó su discurso para dirigirse a sus aliados occidentales. Comparó a Hamas con los nazis y recalcó que esta guerra también es la guerra de Occidente. Así lo ha entendido Estados Unidos, que ha desplegado en el Mediterráneo oriental una flota compuesta por dos grupos de ataque con sus respectivos portaviones, el Dwight Eisenhower y el Gerald Ford, este último es el más grande del mundo y el más reciente de la armada de Estados Unidos. En Washington temen que Irán se sienta tentado a participar y esa flota inmensa serviría para disuadirles de emprender aventuras en una zona tan sensible. Es poco probable que Irán se meta directamente en el conflicto ya que, de hacerlo, podrían ser objeto de un ataque nuclear por parte de Israel, pero los ayatolás tienen modos de entrometerse en este asunto sin necesidad de hacerlo personalmente. En el Líbano opera Hezbolá, una organización que posee un brazo político y otro de tipo militar con el que ataca de forma rutinaria a Israel. Hezbolá no es una organización autónoma, depende por completo de Irán, fue fundada por la guardia revolucionaria iraní hace cuarenta años durante la primera guerra del Líbano y persigue los objetivos que les señalan desde Teherán. Entre esos objetivos destaca el hostigamiento a los israelíes, a quienes consideran ocupantes de territorio musulmán. Hasta el momento las milicias de Hezbolá se han limitado a lanzar algunos ataques con cohetes sobre el norte de Israel, algo meramente simbólico en solidaridad con Hamás, pero sus líderes aseguran que están preparados para unirse a sus aliados de Gaza en el momento en el que crean necesario. Si decidiesen cumplir su amenaza Israel se encontraría con un segundo frente en el norte, un frente que sería mucho más complicado que el de Gaza ya que Hezbolá cuenta con un santuario en el Líbano y está mucho mejor armado y entrenado gracias a la ayuda que recibe desde Irán. Los israelíes se encontrarían, además, con una campaña de terrorismo contra sus intereses en todo el mundo ya que Hezbolá dispone de infraestructura para atentar tanto en Europa como en América. Es, en definitiva, un enemigo formidable que complicaría mucho las cosas a Israel y llevaría la guerra a otro nivel.

Incoming rocket sirens are sounding in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as terrorists in the Gaza Strip launch long-range rockets at Israel's largest cities in possibly the largest barrage since the initial salvo on October 7. Several loud explosions are heard over the areas, but there are no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The rockets are launched during the opening session of the Knesset, sending lawmakers and other attendants to bomb shelter and delaying the session. The question on everyone's mind is will Israel take Gaza? On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, the world is literally holding its collective breath waiting to see when Israel makes its move with ground troop in Gaza. We have heard statement from Iran, China and Russia against this, and we shall soon find out just how passionately they hold that position. Today here on Day 1,309 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, Gaza is being flattened but the rockets haven't stopped. Things were so bad in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv this morning the emergency meeting of the Knesset was stopped and all members including Netanyahu hustled off to a bomb shelter. Israel has thus far wreaked apocalyptic destruction on Hamas in Gaza, but Hamas isn't even close to stopped or slowing down. All this and more on today's Prophecy News Podcast.

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. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian, political reporter Carrie Keller Lynn and Arab affairs reporter Gianluca Pacchiani join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. We are on day 10 of the war in Israel. The United States has organized a ship to transport US citizens this morning from the Haifa port to Cyprus as the fighting heats up and the ground incursion into Gaza is imminent. Fabian updates on the checklist which needs to be accomplished before IDF forces move in. We hear about what has been happening on the northern border in the past several days. The IDF is to evacuate civilians from 28 communities along the Lebanese border. How is such a large-scale evacuation accomplished? Pacchiani updates on an even larger-scale evacuation: the one million in northern Gaza who have been ordered to go south. Keller-Lynn reported alongside a mission of foreign ambassadors from evacuated Sderot yesterday. She sets the scene for us. The Knesset is reopening today. We hear about the goals of the emergency government. Pacchiani focuses on 20 percent of the country's citizenry, Arab Israelis, and how they are experiencing this troubled time.

Eitan Ginzburg, exmiembro de la Knesset y secretario general del partido Unidad Nacional, se refiere a la guerra entre Israel y Hamás.

Stephen Sackur speaks to long-standing Israeli politician Danny Danon. He is a member of the Knesset for the ruling Likud party and sits on the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Hamas's murderous assault on Israel from Gaza is one of the darkest chapters in the country's history. The Israeli military response has already cost many Palestinian lives and has barely begun. Can a new conflict in the Middle East be contained and where does it end?

Israel's security forces have officially declared war on Iranian backed Hamas terrorists who launched terror attacks from Gaza into multiple sites killing hundreds of Israelis over the weekend. The Palestinian militant groups claim they have taken nearly one hundred and thirty hostages including women, children and the elderly. Israeli Defense Forces have struck over a thousand targets in Gaza and have vowed to completely destroy the Hamas terrorists.    FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Ambassador Danny Danon, Knesset member, Chairman of the World Likud and served as Israel's 17th Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 2015 to 2020, who gives us the latest on the military operations going on against terrorists in Gaza. We also speak with Daniel Hoffman, Former CIA Chief of Station and FOX News national security expert, about how Israel was surprised by the attack and and whether or not this fight will spread across to multiple fronts.   Click Here To Follow 'The FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition' Learn more about your ad choices.

C dans l'air du 7 octobre : Israël «en guerre» Israël en état de guerre. Des dizaines de roquettes ont été tirées sur le pays depuis la bande de Gaza ce matin. «Nous avons décidé de mettre un terme à tous les crimes de l'occupation», a déclaré Mohammad Deif, le leader de la branche militaire du Hamas, le mouvement islamiste au pouvoir à Gaza. Il a revendiqué le tir de « plus de 5 000 roquettes » pour lancer l'opération « Déluge Al-Aqsa ». «Trop c'est trop », a-t-il justifié avant d'exhorter tous les Palestiniens à affronter Israël. Ces événements mettent fin à une trêve respectée depuis mai entre Israël et ce territoire. Un décompte provisoire des services d'urgence israéliens fait état d'au moins 40 morts israéliens et environ 779 blessés. « Nous sommes en guerre », a dit le premier ministre israélien, Benyamin Nétanyahou, dans un message vidéo avertissant que le Hamas paierait « un prix sans précédent ». Le ministre de la défense israélien, Yoav Galant, a qualifié l'attaque du Hamas de « grave erreur ». Il a également affirmé que les soldats israéliens « sont en train de combattre l'ennemi à chaque endroit ». Il a approuvé le rappel des réservistes. Car en riposte à l'offensive du Hamas, Israël a lancé l'opération « Glaives de fer » et commencé à bombarder Gaza. Plusieurs dizaines d'avions de combat frappent des cibles de l'organisation islamiste sur ce territoire. Neuf morts côté palestinien ont pour l'heure été dénombrés à Gaza. L'armée israélienne a par ailleurs fait état de l'infiltration d'« un nombre indéterminé de terroristes » sur le territoire du pays à partir de la bande de Gaza. L'ambassade américaine a déclaré se trouver « aux côtés d'Israël ». Le chef de la diplomatie européenne Josep Borell a dénoncé la prise d'otage de civils par le Hamas, en violation du droit international et a réclamé leur libération. Le Hezbollah pro-iranien au Liban, qui dispose d'une puissante branche armée, a revanche félicité le mouvement islamiste Hamas pour son « opération héroïque à grande échelle ». Emmanuel Macron a de son côté déclaré qu'il «condamne fermement les attaques terroristes» survenues en Israël. Dans la région, 75 ans après sa fondation, l'Etat hébreu n'est toujours pas reconnu par la majorité de ses voisins. La « normalisation », soit la reconnaissance de l'État d'Israël et l'établissement de relations diplomatiques avec lui, a longtemps été impensable dans le monde arabe, au nom du soutien à la cause palestinienne. Quelques pays arabes ont toutefois franchi le pas ces dernières années, fortement encouragés par les États-Unis. Après l'Egypte en 1979, la Jordanie en 1994, la Mauritanie en 1999, les Émirats arabes unis et Bahreïn signent des traités de paix bilatéraux avec Israël en 2020. Avec plus de remous, le Maroc et le Soudan se sont également rapprochés d'Israël. Actuellement, des négociations sont très avancées entre Israël et l'Arabie Saoudite, la puissante monarchie pétrolière. Ces violences surviennent à un moment où la société israélienne est déjà sous tension. De nombreux citoyens dénoncent une radicalisation de l'exécutif. Une réforme de la justice est au centre de vives inquiétudes. Elle transférerait plusieurs prérogatives du pouvoir judiciaire à l'exécutif, donc au gouvernement. L'opposition juge que l'état de droit dans le pays est menacé. Malgré des manifestations monstre, la rue n'a pas été entendue. La loi a en effet été votée par la Knesset, le Parlement du pays, en juillet. Elle est examinée depuis plusieurs semaines par les quinze juges de la Cour suprême. Si ces derniers censurent la loi, le pays pourrait se trouver au bord d'une grave crise constitutionnelle. Comment Israël va-t-il riposter à l'attaque du Hamas ? De quels moyens militaires dispose l'organisation islamiste au pouvoir à Gaza ? Comment les pays de la région vont-ils réagir à la crise en cours ?

In this episode, Guy Ziv, School of International Service professor and associate director of American University's Meltzer Schwartzberg Center for Israel Studies, joins Big World to discuss democracy in Israel, the political longevity of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and current protests over Netanyahu's attempts to limit the power of Israel's highest court. Ziv, who teaches courses on US foreign policy, international negotiations, US-Israel relations, and Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking, begins our discussion by explaining how Netanyahu is a “political magician” (2:02). Ziv also analyzes the parallels between Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial and the indictments against former US President Donald Trump (6:03) and discusses the results of Israel's November 2022 election, in which Netanyahu led a far-right coalition to win the majority of the 120 seats in Israel's legislature, the Knesset (11:44). Why was the judicial overhaul plan passed by the Knesset in July so significant (14:19)? How are less conservative segments of the Jewish population in Israel responding to Netanyahu's efforts to weaken Israel's judiciary (19:18)? Ziv answers these questions and discusses recent tensions in Israel's military caused by the judicial overhaul plan (25:22). To close out the discussion, Ziv gives our listeners a preview of his upcoming book titled Netanyahu vs the Generals: The Battle for Israel's Future (28:41). In the “Take 5” segment (22:17) of this episode, Ziv answers the question: What are five policy recommendations for the Biden administration in terms of its response to the Netanyahu government's controversial actions?

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 religion reporter Canaan Lidor join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Lidor shares a sound sample from this morning's priestly blessing at the Western Wall and we hear how this Sukkot, the tone of those attending has slightly changed. Last week, Tourism Minister Haim Katz was in Saudi Arabia and this week, Communication Minister Shlomo Karhi is leading an Israeli delegation to the Universal Postal Union's 2023 Extraordinary Congress. Berman explains why these aren't necessarily steps towards normalization. Berman also discusses why Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to Palestine Nayef al-Sudairi canceled his planned trip to al-Aqsa Mosque last week. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is slated to meet with his American counterpart, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in Washington later this month after an apparent ban on ministerial visits to the US. What's changed? Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, the son of the much esteemed former Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, is again in the headlines for comments made during a recorded weekend sermon. Some of the Knesset's opposition leaders had quick rejoinders for Yosef. What were they? Discussed articles include: Saudi tourism minister acknowledges historic Israeli presence at Riyadh confab Days after tourism minister's trip, communications minister heading to Saudi Arabia Gallant to meet US counterpart in Washington, after Netanyahu's sit-down with Biden Sephardic chief rabbi claims secular Jews who eat non-kosher food ‘get stupid' Fearing religious takeover, activists see ‘secular awakening' in Yom Kippur fray At a Tel Aviv prayer rally, anti-government protesters channel ‘a different Judaism' Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.
