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. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Israeli intelligence has reportedly assessed that Iran has moved thousands of nuclear centrifuges into a site in the Natanz area known as Pickaxe Mountain, burying them deep underground and making them harder to target in aerial strikes. We hear from Fabian about the IDF's current assessment of Iran's capabilities. Lebanese army troops began deploying in the southern Lebanese town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh this morning after Israeli forces withdrew from the area, the Lebanese Armed Forces said in a statement, in line with a US-brokered plan for “pilot zones” in the south. We learn which areas are in the pilot program and the IDF's readiness to step back into the vacuum. Hezbollah launched over 400 rockets from the Beaufort Ridge toward northern Israel during the current round of fighting, mainly at the border community of Metula, according to the IDF. Fabian visited a massive warren inside the mountain that the terrorists carved out over more than a decade. We get a sense of the scope of the underground base. An analysis by Fabian has found that, despite the ceasefire, the IDF has in the past few months stepped up a large-scale retribution campaign with the avowed aim of hunting down and eliminating every single terrorist who took part in the October 7 massacre. Fabian unwinds the competing narratives surrounding these targeted killings. After the Knesset voted to extend the mandatory military service period for males to 32 months, the chief of the IDF’s Personnel Directorate said Friday that the move did not replace the army’s immediate need for more troops. Fabian explains why. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Lester Kiewit speaks to Avraham (Avrum) Burg, formerly one of Israel's most influential political figures, a former Speaker of the Knesset, interim President of Israel and chairman of the Jewish Agency. Burg has spent the last two decades as one of its most searching critics, steadily moving away from the frameworks that defined his career: abandoning the two-state solution, joining the Hadash party, rejecting the instrumentalisation of the Holocaust, and challenging the ethical foundations of Israeli nationalism. He was in Cape Town where he attended the Jewish Democratic Initiative’s (JDI) second Festival of Dangerous Ideas, which took place simultaneously in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

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. Political correspondent Tal Schneider joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Knesset voted early Friday morning to disband itself ahead of the October 27 election, heading into a recess after the coalition’s last-ditch blitz succeeded in passing a spate of controversial legislation into law. Addressing the plenum, Knesset Speaker MK Amir Ohana, of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, called the 25th Knesset the “most challenging” in Israeli history, encompassing Israel's longest war and widespread social upheaval. Schneider takes us back to the beginning of the Knesset session and explains which aspects of the judicial overhaul package have passed -- and what moves the Supreme Court has made to counter some of them.

It is great to have Ya'akov Katz back from his holiday in the Canadian wilderness. He is just in time to help unpack and decipher the political chaos that has intensified in Israel in recent weeks.In fact, this past week may have been one of the most consequential since October 7 in Israel. As we begin the countdown to elections on October 27 a very harsh reality is taking shape.We begin by paying tribute to Senator Lindsay Graham z”l, touch on the latest escalation in the conflict between Iran and America and then move to the main event: the pending Israeli elections and the mess that PM Benjamin Netanyahu has made of Israel.We are led by a 76-year-old man who seems incapable of relinquishing power. Bibi has led an unprecedented blitz of legislation that was jammed through the Knesset in the last two weeks. The flurry of laws further empowers the ultra-orthodox haredim and other extremists who constitute the coalition government. Netanyahu has sold out the majority; the Israelis who work, pay taxes, and serve in the army. He has put the IDF in an untenable position. The demands his government places on the military are beyond excessive. The IDF Chief of Staff has been warning for months that they are unable to properly defend the state and the people. But Netanyahu is quite prepared to court that risk in order to stay in power. He has acceded to outright political extortion to appease the haredim, while enraging everyone else.We continue to look at how the election playing field is shaping up and who may be the main individuals and parties leading up to October 27. Never before has more been at stake.Ya'akov and I get into what is a profound betrayal by the Prime Minister of Israel's national values in order to further his partisan interests. And, of course, his personal goals. If you missed it yesterday you might want to read the Wrap that we published which gets into more detail about the shenanigans in the Knesset of the last two weeks and how imperiled is democracy in Israel. We've lost our way. This election is critical for re-calibrating everything in this country.

Through a detailed examination of the events leading up to October 7, 2023, the book exposes the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled this devastating invasion. It takes readers back in time, showing how years of complacency, mistaken intelligence analysis, and a misguided policy of containment enabled Hamas to prepare for an assault that Israel did not believe was possible and that would change the Middle East.The book unveils the dramatic events of the night before the attack, highlighting the cracks in Israel's military and political leadership. It provides unprecedented details on how key warnings were missed, and how Israel ignored the growing threat from Hamas, believing that the group was weak and deterred. By exposing these failures, While Israel Slept offers a stark, sobering account of how overconfidence and complacency paved the way for disaster, while underscoring the critical lessons Israel must embrace to safeguard its future.

«Vergogna», gli hanno gridato i deputati dell'opposizione quando è entrato in aula. Benjamin Netanyahu è uscito poco dopo e al voto non è tornato. Il 14 luglio la Knesset ha approvato per 58 voti contro 54 la legge che sospende arresti e procedimenti penali contro i renitenti alla leva ultraortodossi fino al 30 novembre. Riguarda circa 72.000 uomini finora perseguibili, secondo le cifre del procuratore generale. L'Israel Democracy Institute rileva che il termine cade nel periodo elettorale e slitta in automatico di quattro mesi. Sei, in tutto. Il giorno prima era passata 63 a 52 la Legge Fondamentale che iscrive lo studio della Torah fra i "valori fondanti" dello Stato. Nello stesso pacchetto la leva obbligatoria per tutti gli altri sale a 32 mesi. Si vota il 27 ottobre e i partiti haredi trattano. Il 13 luglio il capo di stato maggiore Eyal Zamir ha scritto a Netanyahu, al ministro della Difesa Israel Katz e al capo della commissione Difesa Boaz Bismuth che il testo è "chiaramente e inequivocabilmente incoerente" con i bisogni dell'esercito. È "inconcepibile", ha aggiunto, che il sistema militare sotto il suo comando, "che chiede ai suoi un sacrificio senza precedenti", partecipi a esenzioni di massa dalla persecuzione penale. Insomma la necessità esistenziale, quella invocata per tenere aperto a Gaza ciò che la Commissione d'inchiesta dell'Onu ha qualificato nel 2025 come genocidio, si esenta a piacere quando servono voti. Intanto Benoit Vasseur, coordinatore di Medici Senza Frontiere nei Territori palestinesi, ha dichiarato il 14 luglio che dal 9 le sue squadre hanno soccorso quattro bambini colpiti da proiettili israeliani. Un quattordicenne colpito due volte vicino alla linea gialla, poi bambini di otto, nove e dieci anni. Il Ministero della Salute di Gaza conta 1.108 uccisi dall'ottobre 2025. Moshe Gafni, il deputato ultraortodosso che ha promosso la legge, l'ha definita «una bussola per i valori dello Stato».

VOV1 - Israel sẽ tổ chức tổng tuyển cử vào ngày 27/10 tới, đánh dấu lần đầu tiên sau nhiều thập kỷ một chính phủ hoàn thành trọn vẹn nhiệm kỳ 4 năm.Trong bối cảnh cuộc xung đột tại Gaza vẫn chưa khép lại và các vấn đề an ninh tiếp tục chi phối đời sống chính trị, cuộc bỏ phiếu được xem là phép thử lớn nhất đối với Thủ tướng Benjamin Netanyahu sau gần hai năm chiến sự. Quốc hội Israel (Knesset) sẽ kết thúc nhiệm kỳ hiện tại vào ngày 17/7, mở đường cho cuộc tổng tuyển cử vào cuối tháng 10. Theo thông báo của Knesset, do Quốc hội hoàn thành trọn vẹn nhiệm kỳ nên không cần ban hành luật giải tán Quốc hội như thông lệ.Ông Benjamin Netanyahu, 76 tuổi, người giữ cương vị thủ tướng lâu nhất trong lịch sử Israel qua nhiều nhiệm kỳ, đã xác nhận sẽ tiếp tục tranh cử với mục tiêu giành thêm một nhiệm kỳ mới.Những tuần gần đây, liên minh cầm quyền, được đánh giá là một trong những chính phủ theo đường lối cánh hữu nhất trong lịch sử Israel, đã đẩy nhanh việc thông qua một số dự luật nhằm củng cố vị thế trước cuộc bầu cử. Bên cạnh việc duy trì liên minh hiện tại, ông Netanyahu cũng phát đi tín hiệu muốn mở rộng cơ sở chính trị. Trước đó, ông từng bày tỏ mong muốn thành lập “một chính phủ quốc gia rộng lớn, không phải chính phủ cánh hữu, cũng không phải chính phủ cánh tả phụ thuộc vào các đảng Arab”. Giới quan sát cho rằng đây là nỗ lực đưa thông điệp đoàn kết quốc gia trở thành trọng tâm của chiến dịch tranh cử trong bối cảnh an ninh vẫn là mối quan tâm hàng đầu của cử tri Israel.Trong khi đó, ông Netanyahu nhiều lần khẳng định các chiến dịch quân sự của Israel nhằm vào Iran và lực lượng Hezbollah tại Liban đã tạo điều kiện để nước này thúc đẩy các mục tiêu chiến lược trong khu vực. Nhà lãnh đạo Israel cho rằng chính phủ mới sau bầu cử sẽ có điều kiện tiếp tục triển khai các sáng kiến về đối ngoại và an ninh. Chiến lược tranh cử của ông cũng được cho là đặt trọng tâm vào vấn đề an ninh, thay vì chỉ dựa trên nền tảng liên minh cánh hữu truyền thống.Tuy nhiên, ông Netanyahu bước vào cuộc bầu cử với không ít thách thức. Không chỉ chịu sức ép từ những đánh giá về quá trình điều hành chiến sự tại Gaza, liên minh cầm quyền còn phải đối mặt với các bất đồng kéo dài về chính sách đối nội và đặc biệt là các phiên tòa xét xử tham nhũng nhằm vào chính Nhà lãnh đạo này. Trong khoảng 18 tháng qua, ông Netanyahu đã tham gia làm chứng tại 98 phiên điều trần liên quan đến các cáo buộc tham nhũng. Chuyên gia đối ngoại Israel Alon Pincas nhận định: "Theo tôi, ông Benjamin Netanyahu đang bước vào cuộc bầu cử với năm vấn đề lớn chưa được giải quyết. Đó là các hồ sơ liên quan đến Gaza, Liban và Iran, phiên tòa hình sự mà chính ông đang phải đối mặt, cùng với tranh cãi về việc có nên bắt buộc thực hiện nghĩa vụ quân sự đối với cộng đồng Do Thái Chính thống cực đoan. Đây đều là những vấn đề rất nhạy cảm trong chính trường Israel và theo quan điểm của tôi, ông ấy đều chưa xử lý hiệu quả."Một cuộc thăm dò gần đây của Đại học Hebrew Jerusalem cho thấy tỷ lệ ủng hộ dành cho Thủ tướng Netanyahu đã giảm từ 40,5% vào đầu tháng 3 xuống còn 29,4% vào tháng 6. Giới quan sát nhận định cuộc tổng tuyển cử ngày 27/10 không chỉ quyết định tương lai chính trị của ông Benjamin Netanyahu mà còn phản ánh lựa chọn của cử tri Israel trước những vấn đề lớn về an ninh quốc gia, ổn định chính trị và định hướng phát triển đất nước sau gần hai năm xung đột. Kết quả cuộc bầu cử cũng có thể tác động đáng kể đến chính sách của Israel đối với Gaza cũng như cục diện an ninh Trung Đông trong thời gian tới./. Thu Hoài/Ban Thời sự VOV1Thủ tướng Benjamin Netanyahu. 

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The US launched strikes on Iran early Tuesday, hours after President Donald Trump said Washington was “reinstating” a blockade on Iranian ports. Trump separately suggested the United States will act as "guardians" of the Strait of Hormuz and in return will charge ships for safe passage. With Iran lashing out against its Gulf neighbors and Jordan, has the war essentially restarted? The New York Times reported Monday that Israel engaged in a multiyear effort to recruit and re-install as leader Iran’s former hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In the report, citing US officials and sources with knowledge of the failed Israeli plot, we learn of a detailed plan that fell apart on February 28, even as the US and Israel attacked Iran and picked off its top leadership. Horovitz relates what we know so far. As part of a legislative blitz ahead of its dissolution on Friday, the Knesset voted 63-52 on Monday to pass a deeply divisive Basic Law declaring Torah study a “foundational value” of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Horovitz delves into the problematic ripple effects of this law, other legislation catering to the Haredi community that is set to be passed this week, and the IDF chief of staff's rare public outcry against it.

Venerdì 17 luglio la Knesset entra in pausa e il governo di Benjamin Netanyahu si trasforma in un esecutivo per gli affari correnti. Da quel giorno e fino al voto del 27 ottobre quasi ogni iniziativa politica si congela. Resta un'eccezione, scritta nelle regole: le esigenze di sicurezza. La data l'ha ufficializzata domenica la Commissione della Knesset. La consigliera giuridica Sagit Afik ha spiegato che la legislatura arriva intera alla scadenza fissata per legge, senza scioglimento anticipato. È la prima volta dal 1988 che Israele vota alla scadenza naturale, la prima dal 1973 che un governo completa l'intero mandato. La democrazia dell'occupante, in un territorio che la Corte internazionale di giustizia ha dichiarato illegalmente occupato nel luglio 2024, funziona a orologeria. Intanto la Striscia non conosce recessi. Nello stesso fine settimana l'esercito israeliano ha annunciato di aver ucciso due uomini di Hamas nel nord di Gaza. Un raid su una fonderia nel quartiere Sabra di Gaza City ha ucciso quattro persone. A ovest di Nuseirat una bambina di nove anni è morta sotto il fuoco, secondo l'agenzia palestinese Wafa. Dal cessate il fuoco dell'ottobre 2025 le autorità sanitarie di Gaza contano 1.098 morti. Oltre 73.000 dal 7 ottobre 2023. Nell'ultima settimana di lavori la coalizione corre a chiudere le sue leggi, tra cui lo scudo penale per i renitenti alla leva ultraortodossi. E poi il recesso, con poco più di cento giorni di campagna in cui, per statuto, l'occupazione resta l'unica pratica di governo autorizzata a procedere. Chiamano "affari correnti" ciò che un esecutivo può ancora fare quando tutto il resto si ferma. A Gaza l'affare corrente è uno solo, e non va mai in ferie. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

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. Political correspondent Ariela Karmel joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. The Knesset is in the midst of a legislative blitz before parliament dissolves on July 17. Karmel notes that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing to pass controversial bills important to the ultra-Orthodox and nationalist, right-wing parties in his coalition, to solidify his alliances ahead of October 27’s general election. Karmel discusses the various bills likely to be passed into law, including a Basic Law on Torah study that would shield Haredi men from the army draft; the repeal of a kashrut reform that weakened the Orthodox rabbinate; and a bill to gut the powers of the attorney general. A bill to establish a politically appointed probe into the failures surrounding the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led invasion, which would give the coalition unilateral control over the commission to investigate its own conduct, may not be enacted due to time constraints. Much of this legislation is vulnerable to constitutional challenges, reports Karmel, but there is no certainty that the coalition, if reelected, would abide by future High Court rulings, which, in turn, raises the question of whether the current government would concede if it loses on October 27. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Diciassettemila ettari di suolo nudo dove due anni fa crescevano colture e praterie. A Gaza la terra scoperta è passata da 3.918 a 17.663 ettari, più 351%, e le superfici vegetate sono scese del 65%, da 5.941 a 2.056 ettari. Lo misura uno studio della Libera Università di Bolzano con la Bethlehem University, pubblicato sulla rivista Progress in Physical Geography e ripreso il 9 luglio dall'agenzia Gea. I ricercatori hanno letto le immagini dei satelliti europei Sentinel-2 tra il settembre 2023 e il settembre 2025. Nello stesso periodo, con clima identico, in Israele la vegetazione cala del 4,5% e il suolo esposto sale del 3,4%. Quella forbice misura l'offensiva. Il clima non c'entra. Il dato dice una cosa che i bilanci quotidiani lasciano fuori. I conteggi registrano i morti, almeno 1.084 dall'entrata in vigore della tregua il 10 ottobre 2025 secondo il ministero della Salute di Gaza, oltre 73.000 dall'ottobre 2023. Registrano meno la terra e ciò che la rende abitabile. Il suolo senza radici né acqua è la forma lenta e permanente di quello che la Corte internazionale di giustizia esamina come genocidio. La Commissione d'inchiesta dell'Onu, nel settembre 2025, lo ha ricondotto a quattro dei cinque atti della Convenzione. Il piano di tregua, sulla carta, prevede che Israele non occupi né annetta Gaza. Il 9 luglio, alla Knesset, Boaz Bismuth (Likud), presidente della Commissione Esteri e Difesa, ha rivendicato che «circa il 70% di Gaza è controllato dalle Idf», e ha parlato di una zona cuscinetto permanente. Il territorio che si tiene è lo stesso che si svuota. Su una terra che ha smesso di produrre non si torna, e non si ricostruisce niente. Luigimaria Borruso, che ha firmato lo studio, lo dice nel linguaggio del metodo. «Quando non è possibile accedere a un territorio, il rischio è che anche i danni ambientali rimangano invisibili». Il suolo di Gaza, adesso, è visibile dallo spazio. È tutto il resto a restare fuori campo. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Donald Trump declares the Iran ceasefire dead, while a new poll has alarming news for Benjamin Netanyahu: New York's trenchantly anti-Israel mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is more popular with American Jews than he is.   This week, Yonit and Jonathan break down the collapse of the fragile Iran deal and why "amateur hour" US negotiators may have doomed it from the start. They unpack the Knesset's last-minute push to exempt the ultra-Orthodox from military service — as soldiers testify in tears about the price of a three-year war — as well as the less noisy bills eroding Israel's judicial independence. Plus: Rahm Emanuel's blunt warning about Israel's "content problem," and the wedding of two returned hostages that gave the week its one unambiguously happy ending.

The United States strikes around 170 Iranian military targets over two days as Iran responds with missile attacks across the Middle East, threatening the U.S.-Iran MOU; the Knesset advances a controversial October 7 investigation committee as the opposition boycotts the vote; Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls for parliamentary elections after more than two decades without a vote & Hamas says it is prepared to give up administrative control of Gaza. Israel calls the move a “trick.” Plus! Political analyst Benyamin Moalem breaks down the latest U.S.-Iran escalation and the future of the MOU, and Rabbi Yossi Madvig joins us for this week's Torah Thought.Israel Daily News website: https://israeldailynews.orgYOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@israeldailynews?si=UFQjC_iuL13V7tyQIsrael Daily News Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shannafuldSupport our Wartime News Coverage: https://www.gofundme.com/f/independent-journalist-covering-israels-warLinks to all things IDN:⁠ https://linktr.ee/israeldailynews⁠

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Almost three weeks into the 60-day period in which the US and Iran are tasked with negotiating a final deal to end the war, the US military unleashed a new wave of strikes against Iran on Tuesday and revoked a license allowing the country to sell oil after three tankers were hit by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz. Can this further pressure on an already fragile ceasefire spiral both sides back into war? US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would “certainly consider” selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, as he sat alongside his "good friend" Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara. We hear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's caustic response. The Knesset voted 59-0 on Monday to pass, in the first of three readings, controversial legislation establishing a politically appointed probe into the failures surrounding Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre. The legislation would give the government that was in power when the attacks took place the authority to unilaterally appoint the body investigating its own conduct. This is only one of several controversial pieces of legislation being pushed through in a last-minute drive from the current coalition. Horovitz weighs in. Ahead of the Knesset’s expected dissolution next week and general elections in October, Yoaz Hendel’s Reservists party announced Tuesday it would join forces with former Blue and White MK Chili Tropper. We learn how this move -- as well as a newly announced party from longtime Likud MK Yuli Edelstein -- could shift coalition building blocks. And finally, we hear Horovitz's commentary on last night's nail-biting World Cup match between Egypt and Argentina. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The far-right religious Netanyahu government is doing its best to “push away” liberal non-Orthodox American Jews from Israel, said Rabbi Rick Jacobs, leader of the U.S. Reform movement, on the Haaretz Podcast. “We’re not going away. We’re actually leaning in,” he said. “You can’t trade in non‑Orthodox Jews for evangelical Christians. We’re stuck, you’re stuck with us, we’re stuck with you – we’re the Jewish people.” During the era of negotiations over the 2016 historic compromise between non-Orthodox movements and the Israeli government over an egalitarian plaza at the Western Wall for mixed-gender prayer, Jacobs said he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – and the premier’s close advisers – were in regular contact. Today, he said, “it has been years” since there has been a phone call – let alone a meeting – between the leader of the largest American Jewish membership organization and the Israeli leader – and, nearly a decade after the collapse of the compromise effort, the government is moving legislation through the Knesset that would not only forbid but criminalize egalitarian prayer, as well as women reading Torah and wearing traditionally masculine ritual garments, at the Western Wall. “It’s not just that you’re going to get hassled: You could literally spend seven years in jail,” said Jacobs, noting that additional proposed laws regarding the Law of Return and conversion, together with the Western Wall bill, “reflects a demonization – not just a difference, but a demonization – of non-Orthodox Jewry.” On the podcast, Jacobs confronted the deep political challenges facing liberal and progressive American Jews regarding the “shockwaves” in the U.S.-Israel relationship, the spike in antisemitism since October 7 and Israel’s reaction to it. “There's this notion I hear it all the time, particularly from officials of the Israeli government, which is: ‘They all hate us … Everybody hates Israel. Everybody hates the Jews. So it doesn't matter what we do here, [with] settler violence in the West Bank – if we eradicate that, they'd still hate us. And issues around pluralism and democracy don’t matter, because they'll always hate us.’ “I just would like to bring the view that says actually, it does matter.” Read more: Bill Banning Egalitarian Prayer at Western Wall Bound to Face Serious Legal Challenges, Warns Gov't Lawyer Op-ed by Women of the Wall's Anat Hoffman: Israeli MKs Mull an Evil and Absurd Bill That Promises More Jail Time for Worshippers Than Rapists Rahm Emanuel's Tough Love Wins Warm Welcome in Tel Aviv 30 Percent of Jewish American Adults Say Israel Committed Genocide in Gaza Israel's U.S. Envoy Says Minister's Verbal Attack on Reform MK in Knesset Was 'Disgusting' The Raucous and Roundabout History of Reform JudaismSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Skorski sat down for an interview with former IDF General and paratroop commander, Matan Vilnai, who along with Muki Betser and Yonaton Netanyahu, led Israel's elite unit, the Sayeret Matkal, to perform the greatest military rescue of hostages in history. On June 27th 1976, a French airliner was hijacked en route from Israel to France. After stopping in Athens, the airliner was hijacked by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and West German terrorists, then flown to Entebbe, Uganda, following a brief stopover in Libya. The hijackers demanded the release of 53 terrorists imprisoned in Israel, Kenya, and West Germany. In response, following failed attempts to get the hostages released through diplomatic channels, on July 3, Israel dispatched four Hercules cargo planes carrying over 100 soldiers, and escorted by Phantom jet fighters. While the planes were dispatched on July 3, the mission wasn't officially approved by the Knesset until they were in the air for 2.5 hours of a 7 hour flight. The mission itself took place on July 4. After flying roughly 2,500 miles from Israel to Uganda, the Israeli forces rescued the hostages within an hour after landing. During this historic rescue, 3 hostages were killed in the crossfire, and another hostage, Dora Bloch, was murdered by Ugandan troops while in a Ugandan hospital. The operation, initially code-named Operation Thunderbolt, was later renamed Operation Yonatan, after it's leader Yonatan Nentayahu was killed during the rescue. During the interview Skorski asked General Vilnai questions like where he was when news broke of the hijacking, what thoughts went through the minds of him and his colleagues about the potential of a successful rescue mission, and what his feelings are now, 50 years later. Listen to the interview for the real inside story of how the entire operation unfolded from beginning to end, and whom General Vilnai credits for the success of the mission, and what was the most important lesson learned from Entebbe. Note: General Vilnai is featured on the far right of the ramp by the Black Mercedes as they rolled the car back out onto the tarmac upon their safe return to Israel.

Unless something dramatic changes, the upcoming Israeli election will either end in a deadlock or a bold move to “get rid of the foolish self‑imposed arbitrary constraint of not forming coalitions with Arab parties,” political strategist and Haaretz columnist Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin said on the Haaretz Podcast. With neither the pro-Netanyahu bloc nor the opposition parties coming close to the 61 Knesset seats they would need to take power, Scheindlin said that the Jewish Zionist Israeli parties – likely in the opposition – will be pushed to do what she believes is the right thing. "Of course, there should be Arab parties in a governing coalition. They are 20 percent of the population. There should be no ban on parties that represent citizens of this country," Scheindlin said. In the roundtable discussion with Haaretz correspondent Linda Dayan and host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Scheindlin discussed the new iterations of veteran parties on the center right and the left, vying for the voters who would like to see Netanyahu replaced – including those who previously voted for the prime minister and hold center-right views These parties, Dayan said, are branding themselves as the “sane right” or the “non-schmuck right.” Their main differences with Netanyahu and his ruling coalition come down to drafting ultra-Orthodox young men to the army – and the government’s refusal to create a commission of inquiry on the events of October 7. Dayan also discussed the phenomenon of family members of former hostages throwing their hats in the ring on “every side of the political spectrum.” Read more: How Israel's Soft Right Could Undo the anti-Netanyahu Opposition Analysis by Dahlia Scheindlin: Can the Most Right-wing Government in Israel's History Lose an Election Over Security?

The Israeli election must be held by October 27, latest, and Dr. Einat Wilf, former MK and prominent public presence (not sure what to call her - politician? Advocate? Public intellectual? All of the above?) is emerging as a strong voice in the mix of candidates vying for Israeli votes. Her newly constituted party - Oz - advocates a return to the fundamental principles of political Zionism, or, as she puts it - “from exilic mindset to sovereign conduct.” Einat was raised in a very progressive, left-leaning environment. I would not suggest for a moment that she has veered rightward. I happen to find the “right-left” paradigm obsolete these days but especially so when it comes to Israel. Those often tagged as being “right” are anything but. They have morphed into extremists of different types. What we have in Israel today is a large left/centrist/center right majority that is looking for a way to ensure that the extremist coalition that we have lived with for four years is not re-elected. Einat Wilf and the Oz party are solidly in that majority mix. We talk about her party's fierce dedication to the founding principles of the state of Israel; a pluralistic, liberal democracy. And she makes no apologies for standing firm.As I mention in the podcast introduction, I first met Einat Wilf when I began my tenure as Canadian Ambassador to Israel in winter, 2014. She has continued to embody the best of Israel. Proud. Strong. Knowledgeable and courageous. We need people with Einat's integrity and intelligence in the mix in the Knesset…….and, frankly, we need women in positions of leadership in Israel. In the last decade we have slipped terribly in that regard. Not only is the political sphere male-dominated, but they tend to be repressively so - towards women. That's my view. Do not attribute it to Einat - although I expect she would agree.We begin this podcast with the horrifying attacks recently on US Congressional candidate Scott Wiener. Why? Because the harassment of him is exactly what Oz is all about. Reclaiming our dignity and nationhood.Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast Notes* Link to five minute animation video recently released by Einat Wilf explaining the history and political concept of Zionism.* Website for Einat Wilf's Oz Party - in English (also Hebrew, if you prefer - just toggle in the menu at the top of the page. https://www.ozparty.co.il/enDr. Einat Wilf is Chair of Oz Party and a leading thinker on Israel, Zionism, foreign policy and education. She was a member of the Israeli Parliament from 2010 to 2013, where she served as Chair of the Education Committee and Member of the influential Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

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. Political correspondent Ariela Karmel joins host Gabriella Jacobs for today's episode. Karmel opens the episode with a look at what's expected to dominate the Knesset agenda this week. Lawmakers are set to hold marathon committee sessions to advance the coalition's controversial proposed Basic Law enshrining Torah study as a foundational value of the State of Israel, legislation promoted by the ultra-Orthodox parties as part of ongoing efforts to shield yeshiva students from military conscription. She also walks us through other contentious bills making their way through the Knesset, including proposed changes to the attorney general's powers and a government's communications bill, which could have broad implications for broadcast and media independence, as the coalition pushes to advance key pieces of legislation before the summer recess. In the second half of the episode, we turn to the political landscape ahead of Israel's October election. Karmel breaks down reports of a possible alliance between Benny Gantz's Blue and White party, Yoaz Hendel's Reservists party and political newcomer Dedy Simhi, explaining why significant issues between the parties remain unresolved. We close by taking stock of the broader political field, discussing the status of several key figures, including Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as parties continue to weigh alliances and position themselves for the campaign ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. During the course of the G7 summit of global leaders in France on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said that Syria should replace Israel in the fight against Lebanon’s Hezbollah. He argued that the Jewish state’s war on the Iran-backed terror group has been too prolonged and indiscriminate, adding that Israel would have been “blown off the face of the earth” if not for him. Horovitz unpacks the multilayered concerns plaguing Israel in the wake of Trump's statements. The US-Iran memorandum of understanding, expected to be signed at an in-person gathering on Friday, reportedly provides for a full cessation of hostilities by Iran, the United States and their allies — including in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling Tehran’s proxy Hezbollah. This comes as Israel and Lebanon are nearing a US-mediated lasting ceasefire agreement, according to a Tuesday report. If the IDF were to withdraw from southern Lebanon, are Lebanese forces really strong enough to face Hezbollah? Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich claimed on Tuesday to have “abolished” components of the 1997 Hebron agreement that gave the Palestinian municipal council of Hebron authority over planning, zoning and construction in the H2 zone of the West Bank city, where the Jewish settlement of Hebron is located along with the Tomb of the Patriarchs. Can this effort be isolated from the looming elections? Horovitz weighs in on this and the current ultra-Orthodox move in the Knesset to pass Basic Law: Torah Study.

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. Political correspondent Tal Schneider joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The US military carried out strikes in Iran early Wednesday following the downing of an Apache helicopter that US President Donald Trump accused Iran of shooting down and vowed retaliation for. Schneider describes uncertainty in Israel this morning as US bases housed by its neighbors are being targeted. During an interview about the Iran war with ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl, Trump claimed Tuesday that it was an “open question” whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 76, wants to continue his political career, while a poll showed that over 60 percent of Israelis don’t want the longtime premier to run in the upcoming Knesset election. Schneider weighs in. Legislation enshrining Torah study as a Basic Law is set to be brought to a vote today. The proposed law, backed by Haredi parties United Torah Judaism and Shas, would establish Torah study as a foundational national value and define long-term Torah study as “meaningful service” to the state, equivalent to army service, with implications for the rights and obligations of those engaged in it. What could this mean for the country? Italian prosecutors have put Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir under investigation over the treatment of Gaza flotilla activists seen in a video he published last month. This comes as France has barred Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, four leaders of settler organizations and 21 violent settlers from entering the country, as several countries introduced fresh sanctions against settlers and organizations deemed to be responsible for violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. Even as the Israeli ministers brush off the sanctions, Schneider explains why this matters. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Israel and Lebanon agreed on Wednesday to renew their fragile ceasefire and create a number of “pilot” security zones inside Lebanon from which Hezbollah terrorists would be banned. This comes as the US House, for the first time, approved a war powers resolution that would halt the US military action against Iran, even as the US is still negotiating a permanent ceasefire with the Islamic Regime. Horovitz unwinds the storm of headlines from the US and speaks about the relationship between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Dozens of ultra-Orthodox extremists smashed windows and caused property damage while trying to break into Supreme Court Deputy Chief Justice Noam Sohlberg’s house during a riot Wednesday night, in the latest such violent demonstration targeting law enforcement over the arrest of Haredi draft dodgers. Sohlberg’s wife, Meira, said to reporters outside her vandalized home. “Look at this devastation; it’s a pogrom. What is this, Kristallnacht?” Horovitz weighs in on what led up to this smashing of a societal red line. Lawmakers voted 61-57 in the Knesset on Wednesday to elect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s personal lawyer, Michael Rabello, as state comptroller in a controversial do-over vote marred by accusations that illegal pressure tainted the election. Can Rabello freely criticize the government of his former client? We get Horovitz's take. And finally, Horovitz narrates a troubling conversation he held this week -- with AI.

The fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Lebanese government is overshadowed by an already notorious phone call where Donald Trump reportedly dropped multiple F-bombs on Benjamin Netanyahu for threatening Israeli strikes on Beirut. Yonit and Jonathan dissect the increasing strain in the US-Israel relationship - and a new equation set by Iran that will alarm all Israelis. Meanwhile, two warning signs this week for the state of Israeli democracy, as Netanyahu appoints his personal lawyer as State Comptroller, with members of the Knesset pressured to reveal their secret ballot - and a mob vandalizes the home of a Supreme Court justice in a bid to intimidate the judiciary over demands to exempt the ultra-Orthodox from mandatory military service. Also - an inquiry into antisemitism in UK's cherished NHS, while Canada's PM admits the country failed its Jews, prompting a new advisory council with a questionable membership. And finally (and thankfully), it's a crowded field for our mensch of the week award.   00:00 Introduction and Overview of Current Events 02:47 The Impact of Smartphones on Society 05:38 Ceasefire Agreements and Regional Tensions 09:22 US-Israel Relations and Political Dynamics 13:13 Political Appointments and Democratic Erosion in Israel 18:50 Judicial Intimidation and the Rule of Law 23:02 Global Anti-Semitism and Responses 29:35 Celebrating Women in Film: Helen Mirren and Emma Thompson 35:17 A Culinary Milestone: Mutra's Michelin Star  

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. Political correspondent Ariela Karmel joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. An overnight Knesset session ended early Tuesday with first readings of a bill that calls for dissolution of the Knesset, as well as of two controversial pieces of legislation that would split and weaken the role of the attorney general, reports Karmel. She puts the latter bills in context of the broader war the government has long waged against the judiciary. A meeting on aid for the Hezbollah-battered north of Israel was tied to a bill by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich that would increase tax benefits for West Bank settlements, and Karmel notes that the discussion ended once again without the much-needed financial aid for the north being approved. The aid was finally okayed on Tuesday. Karmel also reviews the harrowing images of far-right lawmakers disrupting a Knesset event on settler violence against Palestinians, with the MKs posting videos of their antics on social media to boost their image with voters.

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie lost his state's GOP primary to a Trump-backed candidate this week. The seven-term congressman became a target for the president over the former's desire to release the files related to late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Thomas Massie and Bill Cassidy are now lame-duck Republicans after losing their primaries to Trump-backed challengers. Where does that leave razor-thin margins in Congress?President Donald Trump's seemingly doomed lawsuit against the IRS has resolved itself in an unprecedented way this week. A settlement in the case includes a clause that precludes the agency from investigating the president, his family, and his businesses ever again.And Trump allies get a $1.8 billion boost in the form of a new so-called Anti-Weaponization Fund paid for by taxpayers. That money could be giving pardoned January 6 insurrectionists payouts – and is drawing bipartisan ire.And, in global news, Iranian officials are accusing the U.S. of getting ready to start a new war as the American military makes moves in the Middle East.
