Mary welcomes back Bill Wilson of The Daily Jot to pull the curtain back on some inconvenient truths - inconvenient for those who don't like truth telling, anyway. In the aftermath of yesterday's shocking headline of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, sometimes the bedrock of truth will go head to head with wickedness and a high price is paid. Worldviews clash daily in these times, but embedded in the series of decisions that were made to take this man's life over ideology is the true definition of "crossing the rubicon" - and America will take a long time to recover from this, if we do. Today we also discuss the the political polarization fallout of the Sars/Cov pandemic, accompanied by the general declining trust in public health measures that followed, along with more intense political division. If it only took a couple weeks for Fauci and his ilk to shut our country down, why has it taken an additional 4 years to finish a thought on the scam of the century? Well, there are those who are finally getting around to spelling it out. We also chat about lawfare against Trump's agenda, Senator Tim Kaine's radical views, and the myth of the Palestinian State. Set for September 22, the UN is continuing to push hard for that unknown state for an unknown people (see, "terrorists"). But Trump has disallowed visas for Mahmoud Abbas and 80 of his closest friends in terror. Now what? Well, change of venue perhaps. Stay tuned. A full hour with a prophecy watcher and journalist.

As leaders arrive in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, key Palestinian voices are missing. The US has refused visas for 80 Palestinian officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas. If the UN cannot guarantee open access, what does that signal about its neutrality and about Palestine’s path to recognition?

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta terça-feira (09/09/2025): O desfecho do julgamento da ação penal do golpe, na opinião de juristas, não vai encerrar a trajetória de protagonismo do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) na arena política, iniciada no mensalão, consolidada na Operação Lava Jato e prolongada no governo Jair Bolsonaro, que levou ao acirramento de conflitos da Corte com o Executivo e o Congresso. Mesmo após a conclusão do julgamento de Bolsonaro, a tendência é que o STF siga no centro das disputas, seja pelas investigações que ainda miram o ex-presidente e outros parlamentares, seja pela reação do Congresso, onde avançam projetos como a PEC da Blindagem e a anistia. Para o professor Diego Werneck, do Insper, o “ideal” seria que o julgamento de Bolsonaro marcasse o fim de um ciclo com o STF “dando um passo atrás”, mas o apaziguamento institucional não deve ocorrer. A expectativa é que a sentença no julgamento da trama do golpe saia até sexta-feira.

Nearly two years into Israel's devastating war in Gaza, ceasefire negotiations remain stalled, the humanitarian toll continues to mount, and international divisions are deepening. Despite mounting global pressure, Israel has resisted calls for a permanent ceasefire, insisting on unfeasible conditions. During this week's Middle East Report, James M. Dorsey analysed the faltering ceasefire efforts. Dorsey outlined the core of the impasse: a mounting divergence between Israeli and much of the international community, and Hamas's demands on the other. In August, Hamas accepted an Israeli-endorsed US proposal for a 60-day ceasefire. Yet, Israel and US envoy Steve Witkoff shifted the narrative, insisting any truce be permanent and linked to full hostage release—effectively changing the negotiated goalposts. Dorsey warned that this tactical shift by Israel and the United States amounts to deliberate undermining of ceasefire momentum. “So, in effect, what Israel is doing is sabotaging a ceasefire,” Dorsey said. The Trump administration has enacted sweeping punitive measures against Palestinians: preventing Palestinian officials—including President Mahmoud Abbas—from attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York; barring Palestinian passport holders from US entry; and sanctioning Palestinian human rights groups supporting South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Dorsey observed that diplomatic and economic pressure on Israel remains insufficient—yet potentially poised to escalate. “Private sector and limited government sanctions are troubling Israelis, but not enough to push Prime Minister Netanyahu to reconsider his policies,” Dorsey said. At the same time, civil society in Europe and elsewhere are campaigning for sanctions against Israel. “If and when sanctions start to kick in by the Europeans, serious sanctions that start to hit where it hurts, that's something that Israel is going to have to take account of,” Dorsey said. Dorsey also spotlighted the latest flotilla of 50 ships from 44 countries—including activists from Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar—that has set sail to break the siege of Gaza. He flagged the unprecedented involvement of Gulf nationals as “remarkable,” given the suppression of pro-Palestinian expression of support in much of the Middle East. Finally, Dorsey touched on Lebanon's entanglement: the Lebanese government, under US pressure, has committed to disarming Hezbollah, though the group has refused to comply. On paper, this move is framed as a step toward consolidating state sovereignty by ensuring the monopoly of arms rests with the state. But in practice, it places Beirut in an impossible bind. Hezbollah, still reeling but not broken from its latest confrontation with Israel, has declared it will not give up its weapons as long as Israeli forces occupy Lebanese land. This creates a standoff between Hezbollah, which commands loyalty across significant sections of Lebanese society, and the fragile Lebanese state. For ordinary Lebanese, this uncertainty compounds daily struggles. The country is still reeling from years of financial crisis, the 2020 Beirut port explosion, and one of the world's worst currency devaluations. Analysts warn that pressure to confront Hezbollah militarily could trigger fresh conflict in a society exhausted by instability. At the same time, Washington insists that Lebanon must show it can rein in armed groups operating independently of the state. As Dorsey put it, this leaves Lebanon “between a rock and a hard place,” trying to navigate American demands without igniting a civil confrontation that could spiral into another round of violence.
As the Sumud Flotilla sails to break the siege against starving children and as Israel's “Operation Gideon's Chariots II” sweeps through Gaza in an attempt to push its remaining survivors into an already-built concentration camp to the south, Laith Marouf, from Free Palestine TV, delivers some much-needed optimism from Lebanon: the empire's most potent weapon, divide-et-impera, is losing its potency. Solidarity amongst previously embattled factions and with Palestine is crystallizing with fury among the people of Lebanon, despite Mahmoud Abbas begging Lebanon to turn against its Palestinian refugee population and after decades of effective psy-ops from western governments. https://globalsumudflotilla.org/Ji Darwishhttps://www.instagram.com/jedi.darwish.pnn?igsh=M2cycDlqZzQ3bnc3https://www.FreePalestine.VideoX: https://x.com/TVFreePalestineTG: https://t.me/freepalestinetvInsta: / https://www.instagram.com/free.palestine.tv?igsh=NjU2bGJpMW5yMnFn Substack: https://substack.com/@freepalestinetvRU: https://rumble.com/user/FreePalestineTV #lebanon #middleeast #history #veterans #divideandconquer #mahmoudabbas
Inside Gaza City as the Israeli military escalates its takeover, Al Jazeera continues to report from the ground on the day-to-day reality for more than a million Palestinians still there. As top scholars declare that Israel is committing genocide and US plans for a ‘Gaza Riviera' continue to circulate, how are Palestinians facing what comes next?

The U.S. just blocked Mahmoud Abbas from the global stage. What does this mean for Israel, Hamas, and the global PR war? In this episode of “Israel Undiplomatic,” senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev, both former advisers in the Prime Minister's Office, break down the high-stakes developments shaking international diplomacy. Just days before the UN General Assembly, the U.S. State Department revoked visas for Mahmoud Abbas and the entire Palestinian Authority delegation, denying them the chance to be celebrated on the world stage. At the same time, former President Donald Trump warned that while Israel is winning the war militarily, it is losing the information war. He urged the country to finish the job quickly. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu has mobilized thousands of IDF reservists for what could be the final offensive to dismantle Hamas's last stronghold in Gaza City. Are these events unrelated, or part of a coordinated shift in global messaging? From virtue signaling at the UN to how the terms settler and occupation are manipulated to undermine Israel, Blum and Regev dissect the narratives shaping public perception. They expose international double standards, European hypocrisy and the dangerous myths being pushed by both foreign powers and domestic critics.
Today's Headlines: President Trump hasn't been seen in public in days, fueling health rumors the White House won't confirm or deny—though his team has been posting old photos and oddly ghostwritten Truth Social rants to keep up appearances. Meanwhile, a U.S. appeals court ruled most of Trump's tariffs illegal but left them in place until mid-October, setting up a likely Supreme Court fight. Trump also yanked Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection right before her book tour, while Marco Rubio revoked Mahmoud Abbas's U.S. visa ahead of the UN General Assembly. On the rebrand beat, the administration is drafting plans to rename the Department of Defense the “Department of War” (which was last used in 1947). Elsewhere, Rudy Giuliani says he fractured his spine in a car crash after helping a domestic violence victim—though Trump quickly promised him a Medal of Freedom, raising more questions than answers. Missouri's GOP governor is fast-tracking redistricting to lock in more Republican seats before 2026. Abroad, Xi Jinping hosted Putin and Modi at the Shanghai Cooperation summit to pitch a “Global South” order, Yemen mourned slain Houthi leaders after an Israeli strike, and Israel says it also killed Hamas's spokesman as it eyes another Gaza offensive. And back home, Congress returns with the Epstein files looming—lawmakers Massie and Khanna are set to appear with new victims demanding the DOJ release everything.

PLUS: Economic growth is off the chartsCBS deceptively edits interview to make Kilmar Abrego Garcia seem like an "innocent family man"Judge blocks Trump from reuniting kidnapped Guatemalan kids with their parents
On Friday's Mark Levin Show, a federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs was unlawful, which is absolutely ridiculous. This decision could disrupt trade agreements with countries like the EU, Japan, and South Korea which is not what Trump wants. It also puts at risk tariffs aimed at China, Canada, and Mexico, which were intended to curb fentanyl shipments in border traffickings. In addition, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made the decision to prevent Palestinian leaders, such as Mahmoud Abbas, from participating in the forthcoming UN General Assembly. The genius of Rubio asserts that this action is in accordance with U.S. laws that oppose Palestinian statehood and impose penalties on the Palestinian Authority for financially supporting those convicted of terrorism. This decision effectively denies visas to high-ranking officials from both the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, although personnel at the UN mission will still be permitted to remain.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to President Trump's firm opposition to a Palestinian state, a deeply disappointing July jobs report, and more glaring incompetence from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and former Vice President Kamala Harris.First, they applaud Trump for refusing to follow France, Great Britain, and Canada in announcing their support for a Palestinian state. Trump says would be rewarding Hamas for its atrocities against Israel and beyond. Jim and Greg also explain why calls for establishing a Palestinian state with Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian Authority is a horrible idea.Next, they shake their heads at the July jobs report, which shows just 73,000 jobs added, a number far below expectations. Making matters worse, numbers from May and June were revised down by more than 250,000. Jim suggests tariffs may be hurting job creation, and both he and Greg warn against using tariff revenues to send us all checks.Finally, they roll their eyes as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says the withdrawal of more National Guard personnel means they are in "retreat." Bass also cluelessly says he wants all military out of LA. Jim and Greg remind you that Bass was on Joe Biden's short list for vice president in 2020. Ultimately, that not went to Kamala Harris, who proved again on national television Thursday night, that she has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

On July 30, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that, come September, Canada will officially recognize Palestine as a state, during the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York. In making the announcement in Ottawa earlier this week, Carney said he had received three “commitments” from the head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas: to hold elections in 2026, to reform the P.A.'s governance and to demilitarize the territories. Carney said Canada couldn't wait any longer for a two-state solution to happen on its own, and needed to act quickly. Why? Because Hamas continues to pose a “pervasive threat” to Israel and its right to exist after the “heinous terrorist attack of October 7, 2023.” But he also blamed Israel for planning to expand settlements and annex the West Bank, for letting extremist settlers continue attacking Palestinians, and for allowing a humanitarian crisis to unfold in Gaza. The news has Canadian Jews divided. Some mainstream organizations reacted to the news with alarm; B'nai Brith Canada called the decision “dangerously premature”, while the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs warned of “another failed Palestinian pseudo-state controlled by terrorists”, adding their deep concern that the recognition doesn't hinge on the release of the hostages and the removal of Hamas first. Meanwhile, some progressive Jewish groups commended Carney for the move, including Canadian Friends of Peace Now and JSpace Canada. The latter praised “this significant and courageous step” as being “shared by the majority of Canadian Jews,” and that a two-state solution “remains the only just and sustainable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner speaks with two senior international affairs analysts on opposite sides of the issue. Alan Kessel is a former Canadian diplomat and legal advisor to Global Affairs Canada, and his former colleague Jon Allen was Canadian ambassador to Israel from 2006-2010.

C dans l'air l'invité du 29 juillet avec Gilles Kepel, professeur émérite des universités, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient. Alors que la France et l'Arabie saoudite coprésident aujourd'hui une conférence à l'ONU visant à relancer le dialogue autour de la solution à deux États, la situation dans la bande de Gaza continue de se détériorer. Les bombardements israéliens se poursuivent, l'aide humanitaire reste difficilement accessible. Deux ONG israéliennes parlent désormais de « génocide » pour qualifier la situation à Gaza, ce qui bouscule une partie de l'opinion publique israélienne. Dans ce contexte, la France prévoit « dans les prochains jours » des largages aériens d'aide humanitaire, selon une source diplomatique à l'AFP. La famine, qui menace une grande partie de la population, est décrite par certains comme un levier de guerre, visant à pousser les civils au départ.À cette crise humanitaire s'ajoutent des tensions croissantes en Cisjordanie. Ce lundi 28 juillet, le village chrétien de Taybeh, dont plusieurs habitants possèdent la double nationalité palestino-américaine, a été attaqué par des colons israéliens. Le ministère français des Affaires étrangères a dénoncé des « actes de terrorisme » en Cisjordanie, soulignant la gravité des violences. Ces attaques, qui visent désormais aussi des villages chrétiens, suscitent une vive inquiétude sur la scène diplomatique, notamment aux États-Unis.La France s'apprête à reconnaître officiellement l'État de Palestine. Dans une lettre adressée à Mahmoud Abbas, Emmanuel Macron a confirmé son intention de procéder à une « pleine reconnaissance », qui pourrait être officialisée en septembre à l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies. Une initiative contestée par Benjamin Netanyahu, qui estime qu'elle reviendrait à « récompenser le terrorisme ». Près de 150 pays reconnaissent aujourd'hui l'État palestinien, et le Royaume-Uni pourrait bientôt s'ajouter à cette liste. Qu'attendre concrètement de cette conférence à l'ONU ? La paix reste-t-elle possible avec une solution à deux États, Israël et Palestine ?Gilles Kepel, professeur émérite des universités et spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, analysera l'initiative franco-saoudienne à l'ONU, l'aggravation de la crise humanitaire à Gaza et la montée des violences en Cisjordanie.
O reconhecimento da Palestina, sombras e claridade na Ucrânia, e outras dúvidas diplomáticas no Leste/Oeste em podcast, com Nuno Rogeiro, na SIC Notícias. A França anunciou que reconhecerá o Estado da Palestina, mas com condições. O presidente Emmanuel Macron baseia esta decisão numa troca de cartas com Mahmoud Abbas, estabelecendo critérios prévios para esse reconhecimento formal, a ocorrer em setembro. Apesar do gesto simbólico, há divisões entre aliados: Keir Starmer, no Reino Unido, considera o timing prematuro. Do lado norte-americano, o presidente Trump e o embaixador Mike Huckabee reagiram com sarcasmo. Na Ucrânia, Zelensky recuou na intenção de enfraquecer a independência das agências anticorrupção após críticas internas e externas. Entretanto, continua a assegurar apoios militares e promoveu ataques com drones a instalações militares russas em território inimigo. A China esteve no centro de três frentes diplomáticas. Com a União Europeia, celebrou 50 anos de relações diplomáticas, mas sob forte tensão. No eixo sino-russo, a UE e os EUA criticam Pequim por alegado apoio técnico-militar à Rússia, incluindo componentes chineses em drones russos. Por fim, no plano interno português, o governo anunciou Álvaro Santos Pereira como novo Governador do Banco de Portugal. Gabriel Bernardino foi designado para a Autoridade de Supervisão de Seguros. Em paralelo, cresce a controvérsia em torno da nova lei de imigração promovida pelo PSD e apoiada pelo Chega. O Presidente da República pediu fiscalização ao Tribunal Constitucional, o que levanta dúvidas na comunidade diplomática sobre a posição futura de Portugal no espaço europeu. O Leste/Oeste foi emitido na SIC Notícias a 27 de julho e regressará na primeira semana de setembro.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice open today's show talking about starvation in Gaza. How do we find ourselves here, and what can be done about it? While it is true that Hamas steals food to sell on the black market to pay its fighters, there is no justification for using food as a weapon. Can Israel recover from this moral stain? And why is Hamas not subject to international pressure to release the hostages that could end this war? Both Rudyard and Janice agree that the time is over for diplomatic solutions. International security forces need to intervene and put an end to this conflict. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to France's intention to recognize Palestinian Statehood at the UN in September. This might not be welcome news to the Palestinian Authority and its leader Mahmoud Abbas as it comes with expectations of governance and elections. How does a statement or recognition actually change events on the ground? Is it enough to break through the defensive shield Bibi has built around himself? Ultimately, If this declaration does nothing to change Palestinian leadership or Israel's control over the West Bank, then it is nothing more than empty rhetoric with no consequence.

Emission C dans l'air du 25 juillet 2025 : Palestine : pourquoi Macron fait polémique C'est une annonce majeure sur la scène diplomatique. La France va reconnaître officiellement l'État de Palestine. Le président Emmanuel Macron, qui s'était engagé en faveur de cette reconnaissance il y a plusieurs mois, a confirmé jeudi soir sur le réseau social X qu'il ferait "une annonce solennelle" devant l'ONU en septembre prochain. Il a invoqué "l'engagement historique de la France en faveur d'une paix juste et durable au Moyen-Orient".Dans le même message, le chef de l'État a souligné "l'urgence" aujourd'hui "que la guerre cesse et que la population civile soit secourue". "Il faut immédiatement un cessez-le-feu, la libération de tous les otages et une aide humanitaire massive à la population de Gaza. Il faut aussi garantir la démilitarisation du Hamas, sécuriser et reconstruire Gaza. Il faut enfin bâtir l'État de Palestine, assurer sa viabilité et permettre qu'en acceptant sa démilitarisation et en reconnaissant pleinement Israël, il participe à la sécurité de tous au Proche-Orient" écrit le chef de l'Etat. Il a par ailleurs adressé une lettre au président de l'Autorité palestinienne, Mahmoud Abbas, pour lui faire part de sa "détermination à aller de l'avant".La réponse palestinienne n'a pas tardé. Le vice-président de l'Organisation de libération de la Palestine (OLP), Hussein al-Cheikh, a salué une "position qui reflète l'attachement de la France au droit international", selon des propos rapportés par la BBC. Mahmoud Abbas a, de son côté, qualifié la décision de "victoire pour la cause palestinienne".En Israël, la réaction a été immédiate et virulente. Le Premier ministre Benyamin Nétanyahou a dénoncé "fermement" cette annonce. "Dans ces conditions, un État palestinien serait un tremplin pour anéantir Israël, et non pour vivre en paix à ses côtés", a-t-il écrit sur X. Le ministre israélien de la Défense, Israël Katz, a pour sa part qualifié la décision française de "honteuse" et de "capitulation face au terrorisme".Allié historique d'Israël, Washington a également rejeté l'initiative. Le secrétaire d'État américain Marco Rubio a dénoncé une décision "imprudente" et un "camouflet pour les victimes du 7 octobre". À l'inverse, plusieurs États arabes ont salué la décision française. Le ministère saoudien des Affaires étrangères a notamment évoqué "une décision historique qui réaffirme le consensus de la communauté internationale sur le droit du peuple palestinien à l'autodétermination et à l'établissement d'un État indépendant sur les frontières de 1967".Sur le territoire national, les réactions sont tout aussi divisées. Le Rassemblement national a dénoncé "une faute politique et morale", tandis qu'à gauche, plusieurs responsables ont salué une "victoire morale" et ont appelé à "des sanctions" contre le gouvernement israélien de Benyamin Netanyahou.Avec cette annonce, la France est le premier pays du G7 à avoir officialisé son intention de reconnaître l'État de Palestine. Pourtant, elle n'est pas seule. La Palestine est déjà reconnue officiellement par 147 États sur les 193 membres de l'ONU, soit près de 75 % des États membres. Depuis mai 2024, l'Espagne, l'Irlande, la Norvège, puis la Slovénie l'ont également fait.Alors, que va changer cette décision ? Pourquoi est-elle historique ? Quels sont les enjeux derrière cette reconnaissance de l'État de Palestine ?LES EXPERTS : - Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste spécialiste des enjeux internationaux, enseignant à Sciences Po- Patricia ALLEMONIÈRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales - Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste international - Franceinfo TV- Richard WERLY - Journaliste, correspondant à Paris du média suisse Blick.ch
Reconnaître l'État de Palestine. C'est l'annonce faite hier par Emmanuel Macron. La France officialisera cette reconnaissance lors de la conférence de l'ONU en septembre. Et les réactions sont nombreuses ce matin dans la presse internationale. The Times of Israel ouvre le bal avec les mots de Marco Rubio, secrétaire d'État américain. Il dénonce une décision « imprudente. Une gifle aux victimes du 7-Octobre », peut-on lire dans les colonnes du quotidien. The New York Times parle d'« une déclaration surprise », après « des mois d'allusions et d'hésitations ». The Washington Post y voit « une initiative diplomatique audacieuse dans un contexte de colère mondiale croissante face à la famine à Gaza ». La BBC relève la réaction de l'adjoint de Mahmoud Abbas, Hussein Al-Cheikh. Pour lui, cette décision reflète « l'attachement de la France au droit international ». Même tonalité du côté du mouvement terroriste du Hamas, qui parle d'une décision « allant dans la bonne direction pour rendre justice à notre peuple palestinien opprimé ». Et d'un appel à d'autres États pour « en faire autant ». À l'opposé, Benyamin Netanyahu prévient : « un État palestinien serait un tremplin pour anéantir Israël, et non pour vivre en paix à ses côtés ». The Times of Israel raconte comment la déclaration de Macron est tournée en dérision par plusieurs membres du gouvernement israélien. « Alors qu'Israël est susceptible de prendre des mesures punitives contre la France », écrit le quotidien, « certains ministres ont estimé que la réponse la plus appropriée serait d'annexer le territoire sur lequel les Palestiniens espèrent établir leur futur État ». Le ministre des Finances d'extrême droite, Bezalel Smotrich, remercie Macron d'avoir « fourni une nouvelle raison convaincante pour enfin appliquer la souveraineté israélienne sur les régions historiques de Judée et de Samarie ». Le ministre de la Justice, Yariv Levin, affirme, lui, que « la terre d'Israël appartient au peuple d'Israël ». D'autres vont plus loin encore. Le ministre de la Diaspora, Amichai Chikli, relaie la vidéo virale de la prétendue gifle de Brigitte Macron à son mari, expliquant que « c'est la réponse du gouvernement israélien » aux déclarations du président. La ministre de la Protection de l'environnement, Idit Silman, poste sur le réseau social X une image générée par IA de Macron embrassant le chef du Hamas, Yahya Sinwar [tué le 17 octobre 2024 à Gaza, NDLR]. Dans l'opposition, le ton est moins provocateur. Ayman Odeh, président du parti Hadash-Ta'al, parle d'une « étape nécessaire pour un peuple qui a tant souffert ». Gilad Kariv, député travailliste, fustige une « course puérile entre ministres pour attaquer le président français », au lieu de travailler à une stratégie de long terme.

Arab News rapporte que l'Arabie saoudite « salue cette décision », la qualifiant de « prise de position historique ». De Riyad au Caire, en passant par Amman et Beyrouth, la France est saluée pour avoir « enfin franchi le pas » – aux côtés de 147 pays déjà favorables à la reconnaissance de la Palestine, selon le site argentin Todo Noticias. Et au Royaume-Uni, c'est le Guardian qui observe une onde de choc à Westminster. Un « comité multipartite de députés », appelle le gouvernement britannique à reconnaître à son tour l'État de Palestine, « immédiatement ». Le Premier ministre Keir Starmer, « confronté à une pression croissante pour tenir la promesse du Parti travailliste », convoque une réunion d'urgence avec la France et l'Allemagne. Objectif : discuter de la crise humanitaire à Gaza. Une crise qualifiée de « famine indéfendable » par le chef du gouvernement britannique. Et les bilans continuent de s'alourdir. Au moins quarante morts jeudi dans des frappes israéliennes, selon la défense civile locale. Parmi eux, des enfants et des personnes venues recevoir de l'aide. Quarante-cinq autres sont mortes de faim en quatre jours. Dans un communiqué glaçant, Philippe Lazzarini, commissaire général de l'UNRWA, parle d'« habitants de Gaza transformés en cadavres ambulants ». Il décrit des jeunes « émaciés, faibles, et courant un risque élevé de mourir s'ils ne reçoivent pas le traitement dont ils ont besoin de toute urgence ». Et rappelle que les médecins de l'agence survivent eux-mêmes avec « un petit repas par jour », selon Sky News Australia. Car, reconnaissance ou pas, ce sont bien la guerre et la famine qui se poursuivent sur le terrain.

Le président de l'Autorité palestinienne, Mahmoud Abbas, s'est dit favorable à ce que le Hamas « dépose les armes » et « ne dirige plus Gaza » dans le cadre d'un futur État palestinien. Un engagement formulé par écrit et transmis hier soir à Emmanuel Macron. Ces garanties ouvrent-elles la voie à une reconnaissance par la France de l'État de Palestine ?Patrick Cohen décrypte sur le plateau de “C à Vous” un point précis de l'actualité pour le replacer dans son contexte, l'analyser et le mettre en perspective, en écartant opinions et approximations.
Israel comete crimes de guerra em Gaza e a mudança de discurso do premiê Benjamin Netanyahu, nos últimos dias, deixa claro que o objetivo de seu governo é a limpeza étnica da região.Vocês não têm ideia de como me dói dizer isso. Desde que me entendo por gente, sou sionista. Ao longo da vida, mudei de opinião a respeito de muitas questões. Este é um dos raros casos em que me mantive constante. Ser sionista é ser favorável a um Estado, no Levante Meridional, para o povo judeu. Um Estado na sua terra. Mas o meu é o sionismo de Theodor Herzl, o sionismo de David Ben Gurion. O meu é o sionismo de Yitzhak Rabin, que compreendeu, como todo israelense inteligente, que as mesmas razões que sustentam o direito de judeus terem seu país sustenta, igualmente, o direito de palestinos terem o seu.O governo Netanyahu é a negação de todos esses valores.Neste momento, estão nas ilhas de edição do Meio três episódios especiais da série Ponto de Partida que vão para nosso streaming e tratarão de Israel e da Palestina. Não pretendia voltar a este assunto antes do lançamento porque, afinal, em dez, doze minutos de um vídeo aqui, não cabe tudo o que gravamos num total de uma hora e meia. Só que os acontecimentos não esperam.O governo Netanyahu está propositalmente deixando sem comida e sem remédios milhões de pessoas na Faixa de Gaza. Não existe qualquer razão estratégica, do ponto de vista militar ou político, para justificar algo assim. É um nível absurdo de crueldade, de desumanidade.No Knesset, o parlamento de Israel, na semana passada, Netanyahu afirmou que por conta de sua política de “destruir mais e mais moradias”, as palavras são do premiê, “o resultado inevitável será o desejo pelos moradores de Gaza de deixarem a região”. Neste mesmo discurso, ele afirmou que só permitirá que ajuda humanitária chegue a quem não voltar para casa.Se o desejo de Benjamin Netanyahu é tornar a vida em Gaza tão insuportável que a população deseje deixar suas casas para nunca mais voltar, o nome disso é limpeza étnica. É a definição de dicionário. É limpar, de uma região, um povo. A política de tornar um lugar impossível para a vida de quem vive lá. O primeiro-ministro de Israel está declarando isso. Ministros de seu gabinete já diziam desde o ano passado, mas Netanyahu, não. Agora ele começou a dizer. É política de Estado.Que ninguém se engane. Esta política não só é bárbara e anti-Palestina. Ela é, igualmente, anti-Israel. Esta política não vai eliminar o Hamas. Ela vai alimentar o ódio palestino a um ponto como jamais houve na história. Ela vai acirrar o conflito. A longo prazo, ela ameaça a existência do Estado de Israel. E, não, ela não vai expulsar os palestinos. Primeiro porque o povo palestino já demonstrou, ao longo das décadas, uma resiliência sem igual. Eles querem sua terra e vão ficar. Mas, em segundo lugar, é preciso considerar os vizinhos imediatos. O Egito já deixou claro que não quer os palestinos no seu país. A Jordânia, idem. O Líbano, a Síria, mesma coisa. Não há outro lugar para o povo palestino que não a sua terra. Gaza e Cisjordânia.Além disso, o que a política de Netanyahu faz é estender o sofrimento dos 58 reféns que ainda vivem no cativeiro, em Gaza. Estão sendo torturados, passam fome e estão nas mãos de pessoas que os odeiam. Nunca na história, desde 1948, houve um único governo israelense que não pusesse como absoluta prioridade a segurança de cada judeu no mundo. Nunca. Israel nasceu para que o resultado de dois mil anos de racismo, perseguição e violência que os judeus sofreram na Europa nunca mais ocorresse.Nunca mais.Esta política mudou com Netanyahu. A guerra em Gaza não representa qualquer estratégia de interesse do Estado de Israel. Ela representa os interesses da extrema-direita israelense e os interesses pessoais do primeiro-ministro. Netanyahu é um político corrupto que compreende que, no momento em que deixar o governo, será imediatamente processado e corre o risco de passar seus últimos dias na cadeia. Manter-se em guerra garante o apoio da extrema-direita e, com o apoio da extrema-direita, seu governo não termina antes da próxima eleição. Enquanto ele controlar metade mais um do Knesset, o governo fica de pé. Ou seja, eleição só em 27 de outubro do ano que vem.É um pesadelo para os palestinos. É um pesadelo para as famílias dos reféns. É um pesadelo para os democratas israelenses.A gente não tem como prever o futuro, mas temos como compreender o que aconteceu para chegarmos até aqui. Este não é um vídeo que vai agradar a turma do “Palestina livre do rio ao mar”. Não é um vídeo que agradará quem acha que Israel está sempre certa. É um vídeo para quem deseja compreender e quem anseia, urgentemente, pela paz. Uma paz cada vez mais distante.Eu sou Pedro Doria, editor do Meio.Netanyahu não é um premiê popular. Ele sabe disso. Sabe que perderia a eleição pesado. Ele tem o apoio de apenas 32% dos israelenses. Mais do que isso. 55% acreditam que seu único interesse é se manter no poder. Uma pesquisa realizada este mês pelo Maariv afirma que a oposição, se as eleições fossem hoje, conquistaria 62 cadeiras do Knesset e, o bloco de Netanyahu, 48.Existem duas extrema-direitas diferentes em Israel. E é importante entender isso. São dois grupos que, embora igualmente extremistas, não se bicam. Não se falam. De um lado estão os nacionalistas sionistas e, do outro, os ultra-ortodoxos.Uma das principais marcas dos nacionalistas sionistas, tipo a camisa da Seleção brasileira deles, o boné MAGA, é uma kipá de tricô. Eles são quem mais faz pressão para que Israel anexe os territórios palestinos, a Cisjordânia e Gaza. É a turma que ergue assentamentos, condomínios inteiros, em território que não pertence ao Estado de Israel. Defendem uma Grande Israel, andam pesadamente armados, em geral quando há instantes de violência contra palestinos, são eles. Foi um cara desse grupo que assassinou Yitzhak Rabin no momento em que ele tentava negociar a paz com Yasser Arafat. Os nacionalistas sionistas são sempre os primeiros a se alistar no Exército e se oferecem para estar na linha de frente. São, por isso mesmo, os que mais morrem na guerra.Os ultraortodoxos são o contrário. Não se alistam, têm licença especial para escaparem do serviço militar que é obrigatório para todos os outros cidadãos israelenses. Também não trabalham. Estudam a Torá o dia todo e são financiados pelo Estado. Seu principal objetivo é manterem-se isentos do serviço militar e de qualquer trabalho, é manter os recursos do Estado vindo pra eles enquanto estudam a palavra de Deus.A tensão entre os dois grupos é grande e é real justamente por isso. Só que em nenhum outro governo na história de Israel qualquer um dos dois já teve o espaço de poder que eles têm hoje. Porque, a sua maneira, são extremistas de formas distintas. Então um atura o outro e os dois grupos, embora minoritários, têm votos o suficiente para manter Netanyahu no poder. A coalizão de governo se mantem no poder por 4 votos. Apenas quatro cadeiras. Se quatro deputados deixam o governo, ele desmorona. Só que não acontece. Não acontece enquanto Netanyahu garantir as benesses dos religiosos e acenar com limpeza étnica palestina para os nacionalistas.Mas como foi que Netanyahu chegou lá? Tem uma verdade inconveniente nisso tudo. Israel apresentou duas vezes um plano concreto para a criação do Estado da Palestina. A primeira com o gabinete de centro-esquerda de Ehud Barak, no ano 2000. A segunda pelo gabinete de centro-direita de Ehud Olmert, em 2008. Não é que os palestinos tenham recusado. Nem Arafat, em 2000, nem Mahmoud Abbas, em 2008, apresentaram uma contra-proposta. Na verdade, após a primeira apresentação de proposta, explodiu a Segunda Intifada, que matou muita gente em Israel. É como se, no momento em que finalmente Israel conseguiu se convencer, tanto na esquerda quanto na direita, de que era preciso haver um Estado palestino, o governo da Palestina tivesse congelado. Vejam, teve uma vez, sem resposta. Veio uma onda brutal de ataques terroristas. Aí apresentaram uma segunda proposta. Silêncio no rádio. Os palestinos nunca disseram, sequer, não. Nunca explicaram exatamente o que não gostavam na Foi neste cenário que Benjamin Netanyahu se elegeu. Ele era o único político dizendo “os palestinos não querem paz”. Subentendido nesta ideia está a percepção que muitos israelenses ainda têm de que, para os palestinos, a única solução é o fim de Israel. Pois, em 2009, a população de Israel ouviu Bibi. E o elegeu. Mais de uma década e meia depois, ele segue no governo e tudo piorou muito. Netanyahu tornou a paz ainda mais difícil de ser conquistada. Então como se constrói a paz?O Sete de Outubro é um trauma que não vai embora tão cedo. A destruição de Gaza, muito menos. Mas eu queria sublinhar um último ponto. Hoje, 50% da população de Israel é formada por judeus cujos avós moravam no Norte da África e no Oriente Médio. 30% por judeus cujos avós vieram da Europa. 20% de árabes palestinos com cidadania israelense. Geneticamente, os judeus asquenazitas, os europeus, são mais próximos dos judeus mizrahim e sefarditas do que de qualquer povo europeu. Eles são a mesma gente. E não há povo mais próximo de qualquer judeu do que os palestinos.Isso tem explicação. São os dois povos cananeus. Os dois povos são de lá. Os dois povos descendem diretamente dos homens e mulheres que primeiro aprenderam a plantar na história. Isso. Dez mil anos atrás, na Revolução Agrícola. Nenhum povo pertence mais a uma mesma terra do que judeus e palestinos pertencem a Canaã. Não importa sua crença ideológica, sua crença religiosa, nada muda o fato de que são duas culturas ancoradas há milênios naquela terra. Todas suas rezas, seus monumentos, seus textos. Cada artefato arqueológico encontrado com mil, dois mil, três mil, cinco mil, oito mil anos foi construído, moldado, pelas mãos dos antepassados de todos os judeus e todos os palestinos. Em alguns casos, dos antepassados comuns aos dois povos.Não existe saída que não o reconhecimento de que a terra é dos dois. Precisamos dos dois países. E, às vezes, a paz nasce justamente quando não parece mais haver esperança.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
During the Palestinian people's darkest hour since 1948, as Israel seeks to displace Gazans and potentially annex the West Bank, the Palestinian leadership is absent. The Palestinian Authority is still around, and its president, Mahmoud Abbas, 89, has been in charge without an election for 20 years. However, the authority, which was established in 1994 and was supposed to be temporary, appears irrelevant and powerless. In this episode, Omar Rahman of the Middle East Council on Global Affairs breaks down the Palestinian Authority's many failings when its leadership is needed more than ever.
In this spirited roundtable episode of The Liberty Den, a colorful cast of Badlands Media hosts reunites for a wide-ranging, off-the-rails Friday night. The crew dives headfirst into geopolitical fireworks, dissecting reports of Trump's upcoming recognition of a Palestinian state and a possible Saudi nuclear deal, moves that could reshape the Middle East and silence critics who long accused him of being controlled by Israel. Ghost breaks down the historical promise Trump made to Mahmoud Abbas in 2017 and why this move would be the ultimate dealmaker's full-circle moment. The conversation shifts to domestic chaos, including the viral backlash against Dr. Casey Means, Trump's new pick for Surgeon General. Ash and the crew tear apart the credential-obsessed critics, arguing that rejecting allopathic doctrine is a badge of honor, not a disqualifier. Meanwhile, the hosts joke about a potential "GART Gaza" summit and debate the merits (and dangers) of Badlands-themed cruise events. Later, they tackle Vatican politics, celebrity-worship culture in D.C., and the corrupt foundations of modern religion. A passionate discussion unfolds about Trump's strategic manipulations, how people misinterpret his endorsements, and why emotional intelligence, not blind loyalty, is key to understanding his moves. From dark humor and brutal honesty to spiritual reflection and political fire, this is Liberty Den at its finest, equal parts late-night comedy, geopolitical warfare, and grassroots therapy.

Il y avait été nommé par le président américain après son investiture avec un objectif : réduire drastiquement le budget du gouvernement fédéral en faisant 2 000 milliards de dollars d'économie. Désormais, le patron de Tesla ne consacrera plus que 40 % de son temps à ses activités politiques. Ce changement de stratégie s'analyse au regard des mauvais résultats de son entreprise. Le groupe a annoncé une chute de ses bénéfices de près de 71 % au premier trimestre 2025.Les Palestiniens pourraient-ils chasser le Hamas ?Mercredi 23 avril, Mahmoud Abbas, le président de l'Autorité palestinienne, a exhorté le Hamas à libérer les otages israéliens encore retenus dans la bande de Gaza. Ce dernier a estimé que le mouvement islamiste et nationaliste palestinien avait fourni à Israël “des prétextes pour commettre ses crimes dans la bande de Gaza, le plus flagrant étant la détention d'otages”. Ces dernières semaines, la colère d'une partie des Gazaouis contre le Hamas se fait de plus en plus visible : des manifestations se sont déroulées dans les rues, malgré la reprise des bombardements et de l'offensive israélienne. L'Autorité palestinienne, largement discréditée en Cisjordanie, peut- elle reprendre les rênes à Gaza ?Direction l'île de Socotra, au large du Yémen, avec le journaliste Quentin Müller. Un archipel fascinant et secret qu'il a découvert lors d'une enquête sur l'ingérence des pays voisins et qu'il dépeint dans son dernier livre, "L'Arbre et la tempête : Socotra, l'île oubliée" (éditions Marchialy). Au-delà de ses forêts d'arbres à la sève rouge, vieux de vingt millions d'années, Socotra représente un enjeu géopolitique sur la carte d'une région à feu et à sang.Valérie Brochard rend visite à nos voisins néerlandais où la création des "Grands Pays-Bas" fait débat. L'idée émise par Martin Bosma, le président de la Chambre des représentants néerlandaise et membre du parti d'extrême droite PVV, serait de rattacher la Flandre belge au territoire.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We begin at the southern border, where Trump's immigration crackdown is pressuring Mexican cartels to shift tactics—some now targeting Americans in alarming new ways. Then, a deadly terror attack in Indian-administered Kashmir leaves dozens dead. A known militant group has claimed responsibility, and Indian forces are already responding with major force. Plus, Hamas signals willingness to release hostages under a new truce proposal—but the Palestinian Authority isn't buying it. President Mahmoud Abbas publicly blasts the group and demands they disarm. And in today's Back of the Brief: The Trump administration files the first-ever RICO charges against members of the violent migrant gang Tren de Aragua, signaling a new phase in the crackdown on transnational criminal organizations.

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 Daily Briefing. Children across the Diaspora came to school wearing Batman costumes in honor of the slain Bibas boys, Kfir and Ariel. And last night, thousands came to Tel Aviv's Hostages Square for the Purim eve reading of the Book of Esther. The gathering, which includes Israelis from different communities, sectors and denominations, included a call for the return of the 59 remaining hostages in one release. But that doesn’t appear to be the proposal on the table, currently. We discuss reports out of Doha, which indicate a revision to a previously suggested proposal from US envoy Steve Witkoff of 10 living hostages for 60 days of ceasefire. What is the new outline to extend the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and how are Israel -- and Hamas -- responding to it? Mahmoud Abbas may be the last Palestinian leader who believes in a two-state solution and opposes violence as a means for bringing it about, a potential successor to the PA president, Jibril Rajoub, told Magid in a recent interview. So what’s the alternative? Please see today's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

C dans l'air du 5 février 2025 - Après le Canada, le canal du Panama, le Groenland... Trump veut Gaza !À l'occasion de la visite du Premier ministre israélien Benyamin Nétanyahu à Washington, Donald Trump a déclaré mardi soir que les États-Unis allaient "prendre le contrôle à long terme" de l'enclave palestinienne et la vider de ses habitants. "Tous", a réaffirmé Donald Trump. "Je veux dire, nous parlons probablement d'un million sept cent mille personnes, un million sept, peut-être un million huit. Mais je pense qu'ils devraient tous partir. Je pense qu'ils seront réinstallés dans des endroits où ils pourront mener une vie meilleure et ne plus avoir à craindre de mourir chaque jour". Le président américain qui s'est dit prêt à envoyer des soldats américains a assuré que la Jordanie et l'Egypte finiront par accepter d'accueillir des réfugiés palestiniens, malgré l'opposition de ces pays ainsi que des Palestiniens eux-mêmes. Reprenant ses habits de magnat de l'immobilier, Donald Trump s'est aussi engagé à faire de ce territoire la "Côte d'Azur du Moyen-Orient".Mais ce n'est pas tout. Questionné par la journaliste de NBC News Kelly O'Donnell, le président américain a déclaré qu'il envisageait également d'expulser les Palestiniens de la Cisjordanie et d'attribuer ce territoire à Israël. "Nous en discutons", a-t-il affirmé, au sujet de la volonté de Benyamin Nétanyahu et de ses alliés d'extrême droite de prendre le contrôle de la "Judée et Samarie" bibliques, qui incluent la Cisjordanie contrôlée par l'Autorité Palestinienne. "Les gens aiment cette idée", a-t-il ajouté, promettant une annonce "sur ce sujet très spécifique dans les quatre prochaines semaines". À ses côtés, le Premier ministre israélien a salué une proposition du président américain qui pourrait "changer l'Histoire".Des propos du nouveau locataire de la Maison-Blanche fustigés en masse à travers le monde ce mercredi. Le Hamas a dénoncé la "position raciste américaine" alignée sur "l'extrême droite israélienne" visant à "éradiquer la cause palestinienne". "Nous ne permettrons pas que soient bafoués les droits de notre peuple", a-t-il déclaré de son côté le président palestinien Mahmoud Abbas.Les déclarations de Donald Trump sont "probablement dangereuses pour la stabilité et pour le processus de paix" a affirmé la porte-parole du gouvernement Sophie Primas. "La France est opposée pleinement aux déplacements des populations", a-t-elle ajouté. L'avenir de Gaza passe par "un futur État palestinien" et non par le contrôle "d'un pays tiers", avait commenté plus tôt la diplomatie française, soulignant que le déplacement forcé de la population palestinienne de la bande de Gaza constituerait une "violation grave du droit international". Gaza "appartient aux Palestiniens", a appuyé pour sa part Berlin. Ils doivent pouvoir "vivre et prospérer" dans la bande de Gaza et en Cisjordanie, a estimé le chef de la diplomatie britannique, David Lammy.L'Arabie saoudite a redit, de son côté, qu'elle ne ferait pas la paix avec Israël sans la création d'un État palestinien et s'est opposée au déplacement de la population. Le sénateur américain Chris Van Hollen, démocrate membre de la commission des relations étrangères, s'est montré plus direct, qualifiant la proposition de Trump de "nettoyage ethnique sous un autre nom".Alors Donald Trump est-il sérieux ? Quel est son plan pour Gaza ? De l'enclave palestinienne à l'Iran, quels sont ses desseins au Moyen-Orient ? Enfin quels sont les contours du "deal" au parfum de terres rares en discussion entre Donald Trump et Volodymir Zelensky ? Et quelle est la situation sur le front ukrainien ?

What has Hamas achieved after 15 months of war with Israel?With the assassination of two of its most senior leaders, and the devastating human toll in Gaza, the future of Hamas appears uncertain.But the scenes of its militia re-emerging hours after the ceasefire sent a message of defiance.The scenes outraged an Israeli public, who were told that victory would only come after the complete destruction of Hamas.While the world prays for an end to the violence in Gaza, Hamas' senior leaders say a new chapter of their fight against Israel is expected - this time in the West Bank.As settler-led violence and Israeli military raids on Palestinian villages reach historic levels, many have lost hope that the Palestinian Authority and its president Mahmoud Abbas can do anything to protect Palestinians from another all-out war.Instead, the lure of armed resistance championed by Hamas has influenced a generation of disillusioned and angry young Palestinians, who've given up hope that diplomacy offers them any future.This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we speak with senior Hamas official Basem Naim, who is a former health minister in Gaza and now part of the group's political bureau. Naim believes that Gaza was only the first chapter in the war, and that the next will be more complicated and ultimately more devastating.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Who is Marwan Barghouti? Why is he nicknamed “Palestine's Mandela”? And why does Israel see him as such a big threat, even behind bars, that it is adamantly refusing to release him as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal?This week on Mehdi Unfiltered, Mehdi goes on a deep dive into Barghouti's life, his activism, and most importantly, all the red flags around his trial and imprisonment by Israel.Barghouti's story, like that of most Palestinians, is a mix of struggle and hope. The former Fatah official, the political party currently led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, is the most popular leader among Palestinians today. And while 89-year-old Abbas sets a low bar for competition, Mehdi explains what makes Barghouti still so popular after decades of imprisonment - and such a threat to both Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas.It is rare for any Palestinian to see an inkling of justice in Israel's military courts. Red flag after red flag, Mehdi details everything that went wrong in Barghouti's trial, from torture to international law violations to a judge with a grudge, because there is no statute of limitations on injustice, especially when its victims continue to pay the price for it.“My father used to always tell me that hope is sometimes a privilege, and being hopeless is a privilege that we can't have as Palestinians.”Also, Marwan Barghouti's son, Arab Barghouthi, joins Mehdi to discuss the latest on his father's condition, his health after decades behind bars, and whether prison changed him from the leader he was.“I don't think so,” Arab refutes, “I have my trust in God first and in my father, because he is someone who has been through a lot in his life.” Despite his hope, Arab is also well aware of his father's difficult conditions in prison, especially since the October 7 attack.“The head of Ofer prison came to him and in front of other prisoners, he asked him to put his hands behind his back and to kneel, to try to tell the other prisoners that if I can humiliate your leader, I can humiliate you all, which he refused. So they forced him to do it, which got his shoulder dislocated,” Arab recounts, adding that many more torture techniques were used against his father including solitary confinement and sleep deprivation.Watch the full interview above to find out why Marwan Barghouti's case should have never reached Israeli courts, and if Arab believes Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas would actually support his father's release in 2025.If you liked this episode of Mehdi Unfiltered, do consider becoming a paid subscriber today and let us know who you'd like to see on our show next!

WATCH THE CONVERSATION ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/DfZZbwMuSe0 As we arrive at the grim one-year anniversary of 10/07, we are featuring a dedicated series in which we take a longer horizon perspective, asking one guest each week to look back at this past year and the year ahead. If you are listening to this episode on a podcast app, please note that this episode was filmed before a live audience and is also available in video form on our YouTube channel. For the fourth installment of this special series, we sat down with Amir Tibon, who is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz and the author of the newly released book: “The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands.” You can order Amir's new book here: https://tinyurl.com/4khzaxab Amir is also the author of“The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas” (co-authored with Grant Rumley), the first-ever biography of the president of the Palestinian Authority. From 2017-2020, Amir was based in Washington, DC as a foreign correspondent for Haaretz, and he also has served as a senior editor for the newspaper's English edition. He, his wife, and their two young daughters are former residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz but are currently living as internal refugees in northern Israel. His book tells the harrowing story of his family's experience on October 7th as well as the history of Israel's Gaza Envelope communities and of the Gaza Strip. Finally, we have received a number of requests for recommendations of organizations in Israel to donate to on this one-year anniversary of 10/07. There are so many organizations doing important work to help Israelis rebuild from the events of the last year — and the ongoing war. This list is by no means comprehensive. It is simply an opportunity to highlight four groups whose work has moved us and who deserve additional support (we will add additional recommendations in the days ahead): -IDF Widows & Orphans Organization (IDFWO), an Israeli non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the spouses and children of Israel's fallen heroes. They provide emotional care, financial assistance, educational opportunities, and a community for those affected most by Israel's wars. — https://www.idfwo.org/en/ -Since October 8, Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets, anti-tank missiles, and explosive UAVs at Israeli civilian and military targets in the north. As worries mount, Rambam Medical Center has cared for the wounded and prepared for war. This 1,100-bed medical center in Haifa has transferred its critical medical care to an underground emergency hospital. Rambam's underground hospital – capable of housing 8,000 people — will play a critical role going forward in treating wounded soldiers and civilians; protecting and caring for the needs of medical staff and their families; and protecting and caring for the residents of Israel's Northern Region. — https://aforam.org/ -Leket Israel, Israel's largest food rescue operation, is committed to leading the safe, effective and efficient collection and distribution of surplus nutritious food in Israel to those who need it. To pick just one inspiring example: since October 7th, Leket has committed itself to providing healthy food to the 250,000 displaced Israelis, many of whom have been residing in hotels for the last year. Leket has installed produce stands in hotels across Israel, providing evacuees with a consistent supply of fresh fruit and vegetables, free of charge, which Leket purchases from struggling Israeli growers. — https://www.leket.org/en/ -Kav L'noar's therapy services have provided essential psychological support to communities in the South directly impacted by the war and the October 7th massacre. Their therapeutic interventions are tailored to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges faced by individuals affected by the war, empowering survivors to navigate the aftermath, rebuild resilience, and foster a sense of collective strength. — https://www.kavlnoar.org/israelatwar
Yishai and Malkah Fleisher are on the beach in Ashkelon, thinking about the safety that comes through God's blessings, and through the valiant defense of Israel by the fighters of the IDF. Then, Yishai analyzes and takes down the speech made by arch-terrorist Mahmoud Abbas in Turkey. Also, Ben Bresky on the Gush Katif Museum of the Jewish communities of Gaza. And finally, Table Torah about God's Eyes Upon the Land.
Israelis are stuck in a tense holding pattern, each day waiting for a response from Iran, or Hezbollah, or both - an attack that was expected to occur last week, then later forecasted to occur over Tisha B'Av. And yet, each day… nothing. What is going on — in Tehran? In Jerusalem? And in Washington D.C.? At the same time, there is a similar pattern in the hostage negotiations. Today, senior officials from Israel, the U.S., Qatar and Egypt met in Doha to resume negotiations for a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal - talks, as we are learning, that will continue into tomorrow. Israel seems to be on the brink of major developments - and yet, Israelis are left questioning: when will they occur? And against that backdrop: is Israel on offense, or is Israel on defense? To help us assess all of this from a broader strategic perspective, our guest is Dr. Jonathan Schanzer, who is senior vice president for research at Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Jon previously worked as a terrorism finance analyst at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where he played an integral role in the designation of numerous terrorist financiers. Jon's latest book is "Gaza Conflict 2021: Hamas, Israel and Eleven Days of War". His other books include: "State of Failure: Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and the Unmaking of the Palestinian State", and "Hamas vs. Fatah: The Struggle for Palestine". Jonathan has studied Middle East history in four countries. He earned his PhD from King's College London, where he wrote his dissertation on the U.S. Congress and its efforts to combat terrorism in the 20th century. He speaks Arabic and Hebrew.
