Australians and Israelis are set to rally outside the Australian Embassy in Tel Aviv on Friday, protesting what they see as Canberra’s failures to address rising anti-Semitism in the country and policies that have weakened diplomatic ties with Jerusalem. Demonstrators have been directed to bring Australian and Israeli flags to the rally to urge Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government to do more to protect the Australian Jewish community amid a rise in violent incidents. Since the start of the Gaza war Australia has seen a wave of anti-Semitic vandalism and arson attacks, including against synagogues. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Australian-Israeli Manny Waks.

While Israel Slept, the new book by Yaakov Katz and Amir Bohbot, tells the gripping inside story of how Hamas, Israel’s weakest enemy, succeeded in launching a surprise attack on one of the world’s most powerful militaries. Through a detailed examination of the events leading up to October 7, 2023, the book exposes the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled this devastating invasion. It takes readers back in time, showing how years of complacency, mistaken intelligence analysis, and a misguided policy of containment enabled Hamas to prepare for an assault that Israel did not believe was possible and that would change the Middle East. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with co-author Yaakov Katz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's September 1940, and British intelligence is desperately worried: the Nazi invasion of Britain is imminent. A sinister organisation called The Group, a collection of British and Irish Nazi collaborators, is at work trying to support Hitler's plans... But that is not the only concern for the spy chiefs: the search for double agent 'Archie' – the Soviet spy and British traitor – is proving fruitless, and now they know there’s a second traitor, Bertie, also in play. This is the background to the new novel, The Second Traitor , the second novel in Alex Gerlis’s highly acclaimed Double Agent series, a follow-up to Every Spy a Traitor.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says plans to build more than 3,000 homes close to Ma'ale Adumim will "bury the idea of a Palestinian state". The so-called E1 project between Jerusalem and the large West Bank settlement city has been frozen for decades amid fierce opposition internationally. Building there would effectively cut off the West Bank from East Jerusalem and significantly obstruct the possibility of Palestinian territorial contiguity. Smotrich said it would thwart the idea of a Palestinian state "because there is nothing to recognize and no one to recognize". KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Ma'ale Adumim deputy Mayor Brenda Horwitz-Prawer. (Photo:Flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has continued to defend his government's plan to escalate the war in Gaza, despite widespread international condemnation and outrage.The Israeli leader claims his security cabinet's decision to capture Gaza City, which could mean months, possibly years, of combat ahead, is “the best way to end the war, and the best way to end it speedily”.The plan has resulted in protests across Israel with calls for a total end to the war and the release of hostages. Israeli military leaders have also opposed the plan.Meanwhile, starvation continues to spread across Gaza, with Israel permitting just a fraction of the aid needed to address the catastrophic levels of hunger into the strip.And this week, five journalists, including a prominent Al Jazeera reporter, were killed in a targeted Israeli air strike. Their deaths bring to 192 the total number of journalists who have died since the war in Gaza nearly two years ago, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.Why, in the face of all this, is Mr Netanyahu pushing ahead to reoccupy Gaza City, despite overwhelming opposition to his plan?Today, on In The News, Netanyahu says the plan to control Gaza city will end the war. But, is that what he really wants?Irish Times contributor Mark Weiss discusses the fallout from the Israeli Government's decision to take control of Gaza city.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Hezbollah says it will disregard a decision by Lebanon's government to task the army with establishing a state monopoly on arms. "We will treat this decision as if it does not exist," Hezbollah said in a statement, describing it as a "grave sin".

In this episode, I reconnect with Mark Weiss, who originally joined me for Episode 772 of the podcast after accepting my challenge to read The Four Agreements and go deep with its wisdom. What follows is an unfiltered, soul-level conversation about the journey of deconstructing personality—of learning to recognize and dismantle the masks we've unconsciously worn for years. Mark vulnerably shares how he's been shifting his relationship with judgment, ownership, habit, and personal integrity. He talks about how reading the book helped him respond more calmly in his marriage, honor his word to himself, and begin dismantling the layers of identity shaped by childhood, culture, and survival mechanisms. We explore the difference between habits and choices, the power of conscious awareness, and the invitation to see deconstruction not as something “hard,” but as a sacred adventure in returning to the truth of who we are. This episode is for anyone who's ever said, “I want to change, but it's so hard,” or who's been caught in cycles of guilt and inertia. It's a reminder that every time we wake up to a patterned response, we have the power to chisel away another layer that doesn't belong. What if your transformation doesn't need to be heavy? What if it could be a joyful unraveling? This conversation is proof that it can.

The BBC has recently been involved a number of controversies related to Israel.

Were these unfortunate errors of judgement or a symptom of an underlying anti-Semitism?
