Podcasts about Likud

On this edition of Parallax Views, Middle East analyst James M. Dorsey, proprietor of The Turbulent World w/ James M. Dorsey blog/Substack, returns to the program to discuss what he considers a paradigm shift moment for the Middle East: last night's Israeli strike on Iran. What does it mean? How did we get to this point? Could this evolve into an all-out regional war? All those questions and many more are addressed in this conversation. We will also discuss the divisions in the Trump/MAGA base over Iran, particularly the conflict between the America First foreign policy elements of MAGA and the Iran hawks within MAGA. James will also address the internal divisions in Israeli politics, as exemplified by Ehud Olmert and Yair Golan's recent critical comments about Netanyahu's approach to Gaza. Trump's strongman approach to foreign policy, the perpetual cycle between Trump and Iran that keeps repeating itself, the Gulf States, Turkey, Syria, the ultra-religious Zionist vs. the Likud, and more all comes up in this conversation as well.

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 Sam Sokol and archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Shas party leader Aryeh Deri threatens to leave the coalition, Sokol discusses the pressure being placed on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by the ultra-Orthodox parties to wrangle Likud lawmaker Yuli Edelstein and the law he is writing regarding Haredi army enlistment. There is intense anger in the ultra-Orthodox world over the issue, says Sokol, who also notes an act of arson in a Shas synagogue in Sunday, as the Shas party announced its intention to leave the coalition over its anger with Netanyahu regarding the Haredi draft bill. Sokol notes that a political insider told him there's a relatively low chance of these pressures leading to new elections. Even if the current coalition is dissolved, there would still be up to five months of its ability to continue functioning and for the coalition parties to buy more time for themselves. Tercatin discusses two sets of findings, one regarding the Bible. A pioneering new algorithm looks at the layers of oral traditions and writers of the Bible and its editors. The algorithm helps discern which words are used most often and the writing style, creating new methods of analyzing ancient writings and answering questions about the history they present. She also looks at a radiocarbon dating study that was used to examine one of the Dead Sea scrolls, helping futher determine the timeframe when it was written, and whether the current scrolls are first copies or early editions.

Betar, the far-right youth movement of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud party, is happy to help US President Donald J. Trump curtail pro-Palestinian speech and academic freedoms. That has mainstream American Jews fear that the Trump administration's crackdown on democratic freedoms of speech, assembly, and academia will fuel anti-Semitism rather than enhance their security.

On this edition of Parallax Views, host J.G. Michael engages renowned Israeli pollster Dahlia Scheindlin in a revealing discussion on the evolution of Israeli civil society and its dynamic relationship with both Palestinian civil society and internal societal shifts within Israel. Drawing from her insightful essay, “The Rise, Weakening, and Resurgence of Civil Society in Israel,” Dahlia navigates the complex interplay of historical, political, and social forces that have shaped civic life in the region. - Internal Transformation: Explore how the transition to the Likud government in the 1970s led to the weakening of Israel's welfare state, creating a vacuum that civil society eagerly filled with new social and political initiatives. - Historical Perspectives: Trace the development of Israeli civil society from its Zionist origins through the transformative eras of the Oslo Accords and beyond, while examining how these shifts have paralleled, intersected, and at times clashed with Palestinian civic movements. - Interplay of Resistance and Repression: Learn how grassroots resistance against occupation as well as anti-democratic movements in Israel has fueled a dynamic interplay between Israeli and Palestinian civil societies, fostering both collaboration and contention in the quest for justice and democratic reform. - Legislative and Social Backlash: Understand the impact of autocratic policies and legislative attacks under Netanyahu's government, which not only suppressed dissent but also galvanized a renewed civic activism among diverse groups. - Turning Points and Future Prospects: Delve into the dramatic civic mobilization following the events of October 7, 2023, and explore what this resurgence means for the future of democratic engagement and cross-community solidarity in a divided society. This episode offers a compelling narrative that weaves together historical context, political resistance, and the powerful role of civic action in shaping both Israeli and Palestinian futures. We will also discuss Dahlia's recent trip to the United States, where she is currently on a speaking tour. Additionally, Dahlia and will discuss into the gap between the perspectives of diaspora populations vs. those living in Israel/Palestine. You can currently obtain an ebook download of Suppressing Dissent, which features Dahlia's essay, for FREE at the Carnegie Endowment website. Contributors include such previous Parallax Views guests as Nathan J. Brown, Dana El Kurd, and Dahlia Scheindlin as well as Lara Friedman, Marwa Fatafta, Yael Berda, Jessica Buxbaum, and many others.

For Haaretz columnist Amir Tibon, the renewed fighting in Israel with hostages still in captivity, as scandal unfolds around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, represents a “nightmare scenario.” Speaking on the Haaretz Podcast, Tibon reviewed the turbulent events of the past week with host Allison Kaplan Sommer – from the arrest of two of Netanyahu’s top aides in the deepening Qatargate affair and the questioning of the prime minister himself, to the botched attempt to replace embattled Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Tibon pointed to the fact after the two-month reprieve of a cease-fire and hostage release in the first stage of the deal that Netanyahu subsequently abandoned, “we now find ourselves with 59 Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the tunnels of Gaza; Israeli troops on the ground; rockets are being fired at northern, southern and central Israel. And instead of dealing with the security needs of the country, we have a prime minister who is running from court to the police investigation. If I had written this three years ago in Haaretz as a scenario of what will happen under Netanyahu, everybody would have dismissed it as hateful anti-Bibi material – a nightmare scenario that will never come true. But this is what is happening right now." Tibon added that Netanyahu’s lightning-quick reversal of his decision to appoint former naval commander Eli Sharvit as Shin Bet director was driven by “dissatisfaction” with his choice by the far-right wing of his own Likud party. The Prime Minister attributing the flip-flop to pressure from the Trump administration, he said, was “an absolute lie.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett, who is widely believed to be preparing to run in the next national election, announced on Monday evening the registration of a new political party under the temporary name “Bennett 2026.” A poll published last night by Kan showed that if elections were held today, a new party headed by Naftali Bennett would be the biggest party with 27 seats, as compared to only 20 for the Likud in second place. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with pollster Jeremy Saltan. (Photo: Flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Knesset member from Netanyahu's Likud party named Amit Halevi was just on Israeli radio saying that the plan is "to occupy the territory to cleanse it of the enemy," adding that Israel needs "to return to Gaza permanently and control this space, because it is part of our homeland." I mean, how much more explicit do they need to be? Reading by Tim Foley.

Yet, no clear alternative to Netanyahu has emerged. While there is no shortage of politicians who oppose him, the power of those on the center and the left seems stymied at best. We invited the leader of the official opposition in Israel's Knesset to the podcast to discuss what he and his party stand for, whether the center of gravity of Israel's politics has shifted, and why Israel's political opposition does not appear to be a major force today. Yair Lapid is a former journalist and the founder and leader of Israel's centrist Yesh Atid party. Since entering politics in 2013, Lapid has served as Israel's Finance Minister, Foreign Minister, and for a brief time, Prime Minister. He is now Leader of the Opposition.   CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorYARDENA SCHWARTZ - Executive Editor, Ark MediaGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

JAIR MELCHIOR - Danmarks overrabbiner om sine teenageår:  Jeg lavede aldrig mine lektier, og jeg forlod til sidst skolen. Men så var der én, der så mig.Jair Melchior, overrabbiner for den jødiske menighed i Danmark, er gæst i denne episode af Maries Rum.Her fortæller han om en svær periode som teenager i Israel, som han beskriver som "en tid med tomhed". Han lavede aldrig sine lektier, forlod skolen og fik i stedet job som ekspedient i en butik i Jerusalem, der solgte bagels.Et år efter kom skolelederen forbi. Han interesserede sig for Jair, satte sig ned og talte med ham i to timer. Det blev et vendepunkt for Jair Melchior, der her i kælderværelset under Rønnebæksholm bliver berørt, når han genkalder sig episoden. - Han så mig og var interesseret i mig, og hvor jeg var. Jeg blev set på et tidspunkt, hvor jeg var i et mørke. Det er grunden til, at den oplevelse hænger fast. Melchior vendte tilbage til skolen, og fortæller, at han såmænd ikke blev en bedre elev. Mødet med skolelederen fik en helt anden betydning for ham.  - Det han gav mig var håb. Det er jeg ham for evigt taknemmelig for, fortæller Jair Melchior, der er barnebarn til den tidligere overrabbiner, nu afdøde Bent Melchior.Programmet sætter også fokus på følgende:- Kan Gud tilgive alt?- Har vi altid tænkt dystert om fremtiden?- Det israelske regeringsparti LIKUD skylder stadig Jair penge...

Our first interview, “Four Days in October,” focused on the intense deliberations that took place behind closed doors regarding the possibility of Israel responding to its stronger adversary first, Hezbollah in Lebanon, rather than Hamas in the Gaza Strip. If you have not heard or seen that interview, you can find it here. For the second interview in our series with General Gallant, we focused on the most difficult aspect of this war - the hostages in Gaza and the efforts to bring them home.Yoav Gallant served as Israel's Defense Minister from 2022 until 2024. He was fired by Benjamin Netanyahu twice in those two years, first in 2023, when massive protests in Israel led Netanyahu to reverse his decision, then again in November of 2024. Gallant is a member of Netanyahu's Likud party. His military career spans five decades, beginning in 1977 as a naval commando in Shayetet 13, and serving as chief of the IDF's Southern Command during Operation Cast Lead, an early war with Hamas that lasted from late 2008 to early 2009. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorYARDENA SCHWARTZ - Executive Editor of Ark MediaGABE SILVERSTEIN - Research Intern YUVAL SEMO - Music ComposerAMIEL SHAPIRO - Voice Actor

While Hamas's massacre shattered Israelis from all walks of life, those from the kibbutzim near the Gaza border — many of whom lifelong advocates for a Palestinian State — were among the hardest hit.  Though stark divisions in Israeli society remain, there now seems to be a broad consensus among the people of Israel and their political parties on one conclusion: the two-state solution is all but dead. Yet one Israeli leader - one of the very few who battled terrorists in Southern Israel and rescued Israelis on October 7 - continues to hold out hope.  Yair Golan is a decorated general, former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff  and head of the The Israeli Democrats Party. We sat down with General Golan to discuss Israel's future, the misconceptions that led to October 7, and the unique role he played on that darkest of days.  CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - EditorYARDENA SCHWARTZ - Executive Editor of Ark MediaGABE SILVERSTEIN - Research Intern YUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

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 Sam Sokol and environmental reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Sokol looks at the coalition's struggle over ultra-Orthodox army service exemptions, between those who want to minimize exemptions and those who want to use legislation to create a gradual increase leading to universal enlistment. He discusses a recent Likud lawmaker conference on the subject, that called for a more universal Haredi draft and sanctions on draft dodgers. In honor of Tu B'Shvat, the Jewish holiday of the trees, Surkes reports on the new Jewish Climate Trust, with heavy involvement from philanthropist Steven Bronfman, of the Canadian Bronfman family. The fund, which is launching next month, will be the first to focus specifically on climate, aiming to help Jewish and Israeli climate organizations build interfaith bridges and regional bridges in the Middle East. Surkes also speaks about several moshav communities in the south that were attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. Two are located just outside the designated zone of the Gaza Envelope and are therefore not eligible for the funding necessary to rebuild after the October 7, 2023 attacks.

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. Reporter Amy Spiro filling in for diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and environmental correspondent Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Spiro says there is optimism that the proposed hostage deal will be signed by Wednesday or Thursday, and reviews the proposed details of the deal that it is very similar to what was proposed last May, with a first stage of 33 hostages to be released in exchange for around 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel, and negotiations on a second phase of hostages 16 days into the ceasefire. Spiro says that Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar calls this a gradual deal, not a partial deal. She reviews the process of approving the deal, which would first go to the security cabinet and then to the entire government cabinet. Spiro remarks that Likud ministers have said the deal will pass, even without right-wing politicians National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir or Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on board, and that opposition leader Yair Lapid has said he will do what is necessary to ensure the deal goes through despite any longer-term political implications. Surkes discusses the new reforms aimed at changing the range of imported goods from the European Union, intended to lower prices on goods in Israel. Surkes also looks at a Tel Aviv University study regarding the lack of cave art in the Levant and a bereaved family member's newspaper that looks at how Israel could become a better place. The printed newspaper, written only by bereaved families, aligns with the latest Yoni Bloch song that Steinberg speaks about briefly, with an AI clip that imagines the hostages released home and peace in the Middle East.

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. Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Horovitz speaks about recent comments made by Defense Minister Israel Katz about the IDF remaining in Gaza, as a way of reiterating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's positioning in the current ceasefire negotiations. He also looks at what's being said about a possible hostage deal and a sense of progress on some kind of three-phase deal, no longer conditioned by Hamas on Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, given a clear softening of Hamas' position. Horovitz discusses the latest in Netanyahu's government coalition, which was able to pass budget legislation even when Otzma Yehudit's leader, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir voted against parts of the budget legislation as a show of defiance and disagreement over the judicial overhaul and his desire to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. He also reviews what's being said by Syrian rebel leader Abu Muhammad al-Julani, and the need to be wary about al-Julani's statements, as a known fighter with a US bounty on his head, even though he speaks about his desire to build a better country. Syria is an unknowable quantity at the moment, says Horovitz. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Katz said to tell MKs hostage-truce deal ‘closer than ever,’ echoing Hamas optimism Trump says he’s ‘trying to help very strongly’ to bring hostages home Otzma Yehudit votes against state budget, as coalition splits over bid to fire AG Syrian Islamist leader says rebel groups to be disbanded, minority rights protected Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A favorite State of Tel Aviv podcast guest, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus joins us today. A former IDF spokesman with a knack for distilling the complexity of the Middle East, our discussion with Conricus today is longer than usual. That is because - even for this impossibly volatile region - these last few days have been exceptional. A massive insurgency against the rule of Syrian President Bashir Assad was launched in recent days, seemingly out of nowhere. Clearly backed by Turkey, the rebel forces are using American military equipment and advancing quickly on their final target—Damascus. Should the regime falter or fall, then the implications for Israel and the region are significant. We go deep into the weeds on this development before shifting to the West Bank. Always a center of unrest, Judea and Samara have been building to a furious boil, and Conricus worries that Israeli leadership is not paying adequate attention to this area. Jewish extremists have been engaged in unprovoked violence against Arabs, and the Shin Bet security service has been finding significant stashes of advanced weapons to be used by terrorist organizations. None of this bodes well for domestic stability and security. And, finally, of course, there is the Gaza Strip. Whereas hostilities on the northern front seem to be abating with the newly negotiated ceasefire with Lebanon, there is no sign of the conflict slowing in the Gaza Strip, in spite of the very significant degradation of Hamas' fighting capabilities and weapons arsenal. Israelis are beginning to ask what, exactly, is going on there. Former IDF Chief of Staff and Minister of Defense, Moshe (Bogey) Ya'alon, made some very sharp comments on Sunday about the IDF's conduct in the Gaza Strip, causing a kerfuffle in Israel and the international media. After more than a year of exceptionally long and grueling service, 25% of the reservists being called up for duty, often for the third time in a year, are refusing to show up. They are losing confidence in IDF leadership, and their lives are in turmoil. And all Israelis—including a majority of Likud supporters—are astonished and furious that 101 hostages remain in Hamas captivity. PM Netanyahu has run out of excuses to delay making their freedom a priority. The question is – will he? A deep and no-holds-barred dive.

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. In the wake of Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election on Tuesday, two settler leaders called for Israel to annex the West Bank, describing the development as a new opportunity to expand Israeli sovereignty to the disputed territory. The demand was also backed by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. We discuss Israeli perceptions of a new Trump term in comparison to his actions during his previous presidency. In light of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's ouster on Tuesday evening, Horovitz discusses the new constellation of Israel Katz as defense minister and Gideon Sa'ar as foreign minister and what this means for the increasingly strong push to conscript Haredi men.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo', confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo' desta quarta-feira (06/11/2024): O republicano Donald Trump afirmou ontem após votar na Flórida que será o primeiro a aceitar o resultado da eleição presidencial “desde que ela seja justa”. Ele levantou preocupação com as máquinas de votação e com o tempo para contar cédulas, dois pontos centrais em sua reclamação sobre a eleição de 2020, que ele insiste ter sido “roubada”. A possibilidade de contestação a uma vitória da vice-presidente Kamala Harris ganhou força horas mais tarde, quando o ex-presidente afirmou em rede social ter recebido relatos de “trapaça” no decisivo Estado da Pensilvânia – as urnas não haviam ainda sido abertas. Kamala já havia votado antecipadamente, assim como 80 milhões dos 244 milhões de americanos aptos a participar. Ela participou de ligações feitas por voluntários para motivar eleitores a votar.

In this the first part of a miniseries Samuel and Edgar discuss the origins of Likud Party. For the last 30 years the Likud has dominated Israeli politics, and thus set the tone for the international politics of the region, not to mention the question of Palestine. Today it is an ultra-conservative party with neoliberal economics, bent on making the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories permanent, but what are the roots of the Likud Party? What leading figures shaped its policy, and what does its founding charter actually say about its charachter?This is part one of a two part series on this political party.

Postavení izraelského premiéra Benjamina Netanjahua v průzkumech veřejného mínění se po 7. říjnu loňského roku odrazilo ode dna a jeho strana Likud se vrátila do čela celostátních průzkumů. Podle britského deníku Financial Times obrat nastal poté, co Izrael zahájil agresivnější operace proti Íránu a ozbrojencům v Libanonu.

Yoav Peled, Professor Emeritus of Tel Aviv University, is able to speak to us again for the first time since 2023. He helps chart the evolution of Israeli politics since the October 7 attack by Hamas, which was quickly followed by Israel's devastating war on Gaza, showing total disregard for the lives of Palestinians. That war is now extending to the North as Israel unleashes terror in Lebanon. And in Israel, the reverberations of October 7 continue to affect domestic politics. It also has created divisions within the Jewish community in the US. We get Yoav's analysis of the mood in Israel, what the massive demonstrations against Netanyahu signal, and the relationship between the expanding war and Israeli party politics. We'll also get Yoav to discuss his research on the rise of ethno- and religio-national populism, especially among the Mizrahim, who form the base of the Likud and the far right.Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has told the military to continue striking Hezbollah with full force in Lebanon, despite international calls for a ceasefire. There's been a large explosion in Beirut. Unconfirmed reports suggest the commander of Hezbollah's drone operations was the target.

Francijā neveicas ar valdības izveidi. Radikāļi triumfē Tīringenes landtāgā Vācijā. Protestētāji ģenerālstreikā Izraēlā prasa panākt "Hamās" gūstekņu atbrīvošanu. Aktualitātes pasaulē analizē Austrumeiropas politikas pētījumu centra valdes priekšsēdētājs, direktors Māris Cepurītis. Sazināmies ar kultūrpētnieku Denisu Hanovu un Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta direktora vietnieci un Tuvo Austrumu pētniecības programmas vadītāju Sintiju Broku. Ko atpūtīs Elizejas virpuļviesulis? „Makrona jaunā premjerministra meklējumu virpuļviesulis ved franču politiku neprātā” – tādu virsrakstu savai 3. septembra publikācijai likusi izdevuma „Politico” Francijas korespondente Klea Kolkuta. Nepiepildījās daudzu cerētais, ka prezidents nominēs valdības vadītāju pirmdien, un dažādas prominences līmeņa un pieredzes politiķi un ierēdņi cauri Elizejas pilij šais dienās zibējuši kā karuselī. Šo politisko šovu Francijai nodrošinājušas pēdējās Nacionālās asamblejas vēlēšanas, radot parlamentu, kurā kreiso, centrisko un labējo spēku pozīcijas ir tik līdzvērtīgas, ka neviens nav disponēts kompromisam. Tikām arvien tuvāk nāk 1. oktobris, kad likums liek valdībai iesniegt parlamentam nākamā gada budžeta projektu. Kreiso spēku bloks „Jaunā Tautas fronte”, kurai ir lielākā frakcija parlamentā, jau jūlija nogalē izvirzīja savu premjera kandidāti – līdzšinējo Parīzes Mērijas finanšu un iepirkumu direktori, 37 gadus veco Lūsiju Kastē. Prezidents Makrons līdz šim noraidījis viņas kandidatūru, norādot, ka kreiso mazākuma valdībai nav cerību uz parlamenta vairākuma uzticības balsojumu. Kā atbilde sekoja galēji kreiso – partijas „Nelokāmā Francija” – uzsāktā kampaņa prezidenta atstādināšanas procedūru. Pirmdienas rītā kā vadošais pretendents tika uzlūkots agrākais premjerministrs Bernārs Kaznovs; līdz 2022. gadam Sociālistiskās partijas biedrs, tagad – paša nesen dibinātās kustības „Konvencija” līderis. Tomēr jau pusdienlaikā tika minēts cits – līdz šim politikā mazpazīstams sociālekonomisko jautājumu eksperts, likumdevējus konsultējošas organizācijas Ekonomikas, sociālo lietu un vides padome prezidents Tjerī Bodē; bet otrdienas rītā viņu šai kvalitātē nomainīja kādreizējais ministrs, šobrīd – Odefrānsas reģiona prezidents, konservatīvās Republikāņu partijas pārstāvis Ksavjē Bertrāns. Pēdējo divu dienu laikā uz Elizejas pili tikuši aicināti ne vien parlamenta augšpalātas Senāta līderis Žerārs Laršē un Republikāņu parlamenta frakcijas līderis Lorāns Vokjē, bet arī bijušie Francijas prezidenti Nikolā Sarkozī un Fransuā Olands, kas licis kādreizējam Olanda publiskās saziņas pārstāvim Gaspāram Gantdzēram pajokot, ka sekošot Francijas Kinoakadēmijas balvas „Cēzars” ieguvēji un valobrauciena „Tour de France” uzvarētāji. Jādomā gan, ka prezidentam Makronam par šādiem jokiem smiekli nenāk, ciktāl izeja pašreizējai politiskajai krīzei, kā šķiet, joprojām nav samanāma. Radikāļi triumfē „Pirmoreiz kopš Otrā pasaules kara kādā Vācijas zemē pie varas ir galēji labējie,” – šāda konstatācija šais dienās sastopama ne viena vien pasaules medija slejās. Runa ir par svētdien, 1. septembrī, notikušo Tīringenes landtāga vēlēšanu rezultātiem, kas nesuši graujošu sagrāvi šīs Vācijas federālās zemes līdzšinējai kreisajai koalīcijai un uzvaru labēji radikālajai, antikonjunktūras partijai „Alternatīva Vācijai”. Divi no līdz šim pie varas Tīringenē bijušajiem spēkiem – brīvie demokrāti un zaļie – vispār palikuši aiz jaunā landtāga borta, Kreisā partija zaudējusi vairāk nekā pusi mandātu, savukārt sociāldemokrātiem, kuriem arī līdz šim te nav bijuši spoži rezultāti, šis esot vājākais sniegums visā pēckara federālo zemju vēlēšanu vēsturē. Savukārt „Alternatīva Vācijai”, kuru šajā zemē vada viens no odiozākajiem tās pārstāvjiem Bjerns Heke, ieguvusi lielāko frakciju ar 32 no 88 mandātiem. Visai pārliecinoši Tīringenē debitējusi arī šī gada sākumā nodibinātā kreisi populistiskā partija „Zāras Vāgenknehtas savienība”, iegūstot trešo lielāko frakciju landtāgā. No tradicionālajām konjunktūras partijām vienīgi kristīgajiem demokrātiem izdevies noturēt un pat nedaudz uzlabot savas pozīcijas, taču kopējais iznākums ir tāds, ka Tīringenes landtāgā stabils vairākums tagad būs radikāļiem – „Alternatīvai Vācijai” un „Zāras Vāgenknehtas savienībai”, nemaz jau nerunājot par to, ka arī partija „Kreisie” līdz šim tikusi uzskatīta par radikālu spēku. Kas attiecas uz abiem pirmajiem – alternatīvistiem un vāgenknehtiešiem – tad, kaut vieni ir labējie, bet otri kreisie radikāļi, viņiem netrūkst kopīgā: vispārējā populistiskā ievirze, migrantu tēmas ekspluatācija un negatīva attieksme pret atbalstu Ukrainai. Līdzīga un tāpat neiepriecinoša tradicionālajām konjunktūras partijām ir politiskā ainava arī otrā federālajā zemē, kur svētdien notika landtāga vēlēšanas, proti – Saksijā. Arī te vissmagāko sakāvi piedzīvojuši „Kreisie” un zaļie, vienīgi sociāldemokrāti noturējušies savās līdzšinējās, gan ne pārāk spožajās pozīcijās. Kristīgie demokrāti zaudējuši nedaudz, kas ļāvis tiem palikt lielākajai frakcijai Saksijas landtāgā, taču otro un trešo pozīciju šeit ieņem „Alternatīva Vācijai” un „Zāras Vāgenknehtas savienība”. Kopējais balsu sadalījums ir tāds, ka līdzšinējai koalīcijai – kristīgajiem demokrātiem, sociāldemokrātiem un zaļajiem – vairs nepietiek vairākuma valdības izveidei, tādā nolūkā būtu jāpiepulcina radikālā partija „Kreisie”. Taču ja pēdējie spētu vienoties ar pārējiem radikāļiem – „Alternatīvu” un „Vāgenknehtas savienību” – arī Saksijā varētu tapt radikāļu valdība. Kanclers Olafs Šolcs reaģējis uz notikušo ar aicinājumu būvēt demokrātisko partiju ugunsmūri, lai nepielaistu „Alternatīvu Vācijai” pie varas. Tikām daudzi politikas komentētāji norāda, ka šie vēlēšanu rezultāti, kas tik neiepriecinoši pašreizējās valdošās koalīcijas partijām un samērā pozitīvi kristīgajiem demokrātiem, pastiprinās spiedienu uz Šolca valdību no lielākā opozīcijas spēka – Kristīgi demokrātiskās savienības puses. Atved viņus mājās! Sestdien, 31. augustā, Izraēlas Aizsardzības spēku karavīri kādā tunelī zem Rafahas pilsētas Gazas sektorā atrada nogalinātus sešus no „Hamās” teroristu pagājušā gada 7. oktobrī sagrābtajiem izraēliešu ķīlniekiem. Pēc visa spriežot, viņi bija nošauti dienu vai divas iepriekš, kad teritorijai tuvojušies izraēliešu spēki. Pirmdien „Hamās” pārstāvis paziņoja, ka ķīlniekus apsargājošajiem kaujiniekiem doti jauni norādījumi – nogalināt gūstekņus, ja ir risks, ka izraēliešu spēki viņus varētu atbrīvot. Sešu pagājušonedēļ noslepkavoto liktenis, acīmredzot, ir šīs jaunās taktikas sekas. Šovasar Izraēlas Aizsardzības spēkiem izdevās atbrīvot vairākus ķīlniekus, un premjerministrs Netanjahu acīmredzami bija noskaņots pārliecināt Izraēlas sabiedrību, ka ir viņa spēkos gan sagraut „Hamās” militāriem līdzekļiem, gan atbrīvot ķīlniekus. Svētdien tūkstoši protestētāju pildīja ielas Jeruzalemē, Telavivā, Haifā un citās Izraēlas pilsētās, pieprasot no valdības panākt vienošanos par joprojām gūstā esošo apmēram simt ķīlnieku atbrīvošanu. Pirmdien Izraēlu teju paralizēja vispārējais streiks, protesti turpinājušies arī nākamajās dienās. Tomēr tas viss joprojām nepārliecina premjerministru mainīt savu pieeju. To viņš apliecināja arī pirmdien, kad savā pirmajā komentārā pēc baisā atklājuma Rafahā solīja vien tālāku cīņu un atriebi „Hamās”, turpinot nogalināt tās līderus. Nav noslēpums, ka partijas „Likud” partneri valdībā – radikāli konservatīvie spēki – draud gāzt viņa kabinetu, ja Izraēla neturpinās karu „līdz galīgajai uzvarai”. Tomēr analītiķi spriež, ka sabiedrības spiediens galu galā varētu likt viņam piekāpties – arvien vairāk Izraēlā ir to, kuriem šķiet, ka premjerministrs upurē ķīlnieku dzīvības savas varaskāres dēļ. Avoti valdībā ziņo, ka premjerministram bijusi visai asa vārdu pārmaiņa ar aizsardzības ministru Joavu Galantu. Pašreiz galvenais šķērslis sarunu uzsākšanai ir „Hamās” prasība Izraēlas spēku pilnīga atvilkšana no Gazas joslas, kamēr Netanjahu uzstāj, ka izraēliešu spēkiem jāpaliek t.s. Filadelfu koridorā – zemes strēmelē gar Gazas un Ēģiptes robežu. Ministra Galanta ieskatā šāda kontrole nav militāri lietderīga, jo koridorā, kas šķērso blīvi apbūvētas teritorijas, izraēliešu karavīri ir ļoti pateicīgs mērķis uzbrukumiem. Prasību par pilnīgu Izraēlas spēku atvilkšanu no Gazas sektora uztur arī tās galvenais stratēģiskais sabiedrotais – Savienoto Valstu administrācija.

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. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. As potentially fateful talks for a hostage and ceasefire deal are underway in Qatar, 10 hardliners from the ruling Likud party issued a public letter addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, detailing four “red lines as members of the Likud movement and as members of the coalition.” Magid fills us in on what are we hearing after the first day of talks, including communications from Qatar to Iran. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told a special session of the Turkish parliament on Thursday that he would travel to the Gaza Strip as a statement of solidarity with his people under war. Magid weighs in on some potential obstacles to the visit. Dozens of masked settlers participated in the riot through the northern West Bank village of Jit, with the Palestinian Authority health ministry reporting that a 23-year-old local was killed by “settlers' bullets.” Israeli security sources said it was unclear who shot him. Magid explores the forces in the coalition that have ties to these extremist elements. Former US president Donald Trump said yesterday that he counseled Netanyahu when they met last month to swiftly “get your victory” because the “killing has to stop” in Gaza. Magid unpacks Trump's statements on this and about a potential future Democrat State Department. Magid recounts how Biden's big hostage-release deal speech from the White House State Dining Room on May 31 was initially supposed to be a different speech altogether.

Discussed articles include: Gaza truce talks in Doha get off to ‘promising start,' set to continue Friday In Turkey, Abbas declares he'll go to Gaza ‘even if it costs my life,' mourns Haniyeh Palestinian killed as settlers torch homes and cars in West Bank village Trump: I told Netanyahu ‘get your victory quickly' because ‘the killing has to stop' A Biden speech urging national Israeli reckoning was shelved at the last minute.

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. ToI senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's special episode of What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring one key issue currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World. Ultra-Orthodox men of military age have been able to avoid being conscripted to the IDF for decades by enrolling in yeshivas for Torah study and obtaining repeated one-year service deferrals until they reach the age of military exemption. This week, a historic High Court ruling — which found that there is no legal basis for excluding Haredi men from the military draft -- brought the need for a true Haredi draft law into focus.  So when Likud MK and Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein delayed a vote on a Defense Ministry-backed “draft Security Service Law” due to what he said was a failure to reach a “broad consensus” on the matter, political pundits paid attention. Likewise, polls indicated this week that a "fantasy" political party of former prime minister Naftali Bennett, Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman, New Hope head Gideon Sa'ar and former Mossad director Yossi Cohen would be the largest faction in the Knesset if elections were held today, winning 25 seats.

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. Following Tuesday morning's landmark High Court ruling which found that there is no legal basis for excluding Haredi men from the military draft, yesterday, Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein delayed a vote on a Defense Ministry-backed “draft Security Service Law” due to what he said was a failure to reach a “broad consensus” on the matter. What should we make of this breaking of Likud party ranks? Yesterday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and US President Joe Biden's administration announced that progress had been made toward resolving what Jerusalem considers to be an insufficient flow of arms from the United States to Israel. Horovitz breaks down the situation as we know it and describes how this may affect a potential war with Hezbollah. Tonight, US President Joe Biden and former US president Donald Trump will meet in Atlanta for a debate moderated by CNN's Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. What could be on the table? Horovitz weighs in on the upcoming July 4 British elections in which Labour leader Keir Starmer is projected to win a vast parliamentary majority.

Discussed articles include: Edelstein delays IDF reservists law amidst growing coalition tensions over draft PM meets Edelstein over remarks on Haredi draft bill seen as imperiling coalition Gallant, US declare progress on expediting arms delivery, but bomb shipment still frozen Evading national service in the Jewish state is the opposite of authentic Judaism From antisemitism to Israel: The Jewish topics to watch for in the Biden-Trump debate 10 contests for Israel supporters to watch in the UK's July 4 general election 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 Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.  IMAGE: Likud MK Yuli Edelstein leads a Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee meeting at the Knesset in Jerusalem on June 26, 2024.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring one key issue currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World. This week, The Times of Israel deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaks with ToI's senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur.  Ultra-Orthodox men of military age have been able to avoid being conscripted to the IDF for decades by enrolling in yeshivas for Torah study and obtaining repeated one-year service deferrals until they reach the age of military exemption. This week, a historic High Court ruling — which found that there is no legal basis for excluding Haredi men from the military draft -- brought the need for a true Haredi draft law into focus.  So when Likud MK and Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein delayed a vote on a Defense Ministry-backed “draft Security Service Law” due to what he said was a failure to reach a “broad consensus” on the matter, political pundits paid attention.

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 in the Jerusalem offices for today's episode. Facing a growing number of high-profile spats involving members of his coalition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Wednesday for his political partners to “get a grip” and abandon “petty politics.” Horovitz unwinds the insults and accusations that were thrown about yesterday and assesses the stability of the coalition even as some members of Likud are showing signs of discontent. IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told Channel 13 last night, “This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear — it's simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public.” Horovitz discusses how Israel's internal political strife may be affecting its prosecution of the war. The Wall Street Journal reported today that US officials estimate that of the 116 hostages believed to be held by Hamas in Gaza, just 50 are still alive. The assessment is based on a combination of Israeli and US intelligence and puts the number of deceased hostages at 66, a far higher number than Israel has publicly confirmed. As hostage negotiation talks seem to be at a stalemate, Horovitz speaks to the international pressure being placed on Hamas and why it's likely not enough. Last night the head of Lebanon's Hezbollah terror group Hasan Nasrallah commented on the escalating conflict with the Jewish state, and said the Shiite terror group does not want “total war,” is only acting in support of Hamas, but in the case of full-blown war, “The enemy knows well that we have prepared ourselves for the worst… and that no place… will be spared from our rockets.” Why this announcement right now?

Share on Twitter/X: https://tinyurl.com/nvmznb7m Tzipi Livni has served as a minister of eight different cabinet ministries under three prime ministers: Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, and Benjamin Netanyahu. Her positions have included Justice Minister, Foreign Minister and Vice-Prime Minister. She has also been the official leader of the opposition. As foreign minister, Tzipi Livni led negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, she was a key government figure during Israel's disengagement from Gaza and during Hamas's subsequent takeover of Gaza. She was foreign minister during Israel's Second Lebanon War and during Israel's operation to take out Syria's nuclear reactor. She began her service as a member of the Likud Party, and then the Kadima Party, and later the Hatnua Party and Zionist Union. Earlier in her career, Tzipi served in the Mossad (including in the elite unit famous for being responsible for the assassinations following the Munich massacre). No major Israeli political figure has had more recent experience trying to negotiate a two-state solution than Tzipi Livni.

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. It is day 231 of the war with Hamas. Political reporter Tal Schneider and environment reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will "soon" give an address to a joint session of Congress. Schneider wonders at Netanyahu's motivations for this speech and compares it to his previous House address. Likud members and members of Knesset are taking note of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's recent challenge to Netanyahu's decision-making during the war. What is Schneider seeing about their “pragmatism”? In the first three months of the war, activity was at a low in the Knesset. But Schneider points out that with the declaration of war, the government was automatically accorded broad authorities with very little oversight. She brings us new research. About a year ago, a research team led by Tel Aviv University's Omri Bronstein found that the entire Black Sea urchin population living on coral reefs off the southern city of Eilat had been wiped out in weeks. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Surkes brings the full story. The State of Nature 2023, the tenth report of the National Ecosystem Assessment Program (“Maarag” in Hebrew), was published in the run-up to Wednesday's World Biodiversity Day. There's good news -- and a lot of bad news.  For the latest updates, please see The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

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 174 of the war with Hamas. Political correspondent Tal Schneider joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Schneider discusses the 11th-hour government request for an extension to the High Court petition to avoid mandatory Haredi conscription that would begin April 1, reporting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holed up in his office with his ultra-Orthodox coalition partners late Wednesday night in a last-minute attempt to find a solution that would appease them. She then looks at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political flip-flopping and political spinning over the last few days, discussing his desperate attempts to save his political base of Likud voters despite a series of adverse reactions from the US administration and fellow politicians to his latest actions. Schneider also talks about the passing of former Senator Joe Lieberman, his friendship with Israel, and his relationships with political conservatives on the other side of the spectrum, and what colleagues are saying about him.
