STALEMATES IN GAZA AND LEBANON Colleague Jonathan Schanzer. Jonathan Schanzer discusses the stalemate regarding the last hostage in Gaza, the fragmented control of the territory, and threats in Lebanon and Syria. NUMBER 3 1937 RAMALLAH

« De Bethléem à Gaza, un Noël assombri par une dure réalité », titre le quotidien israélien Haaretz, de centre gauche et favorable à l'existence d'un État palestinien. Dans un long reportage, les témoignages sont multiples. On y fait la connaissance d'Ali. « Issu d'une famille musulmane, il raconte que Noël a toujours fait partie intégrante de la vie (...). Enfant, c'était avant tout un moment de partage. On ne pensait pas autant à la politique à l'époque », partage-t-il. « Dans le café de Ramallah où il travaille, la fréquentation reste faible, malgré la fin de la guerre », peut-on lire. « La tension et la peur sont toujours présentes. C'est comme si la guerre était finie aux informations, mais pas pour nous », explique Ali. Il précise alors : « On célèbre Noël parce qu'on ne veut pas donner raison [au gouvernement israélien] – si on arrête de fêter Noël, que nous restera-t-il ? » Un Noël timide en ce cessez-le-feu De son côté, le Jérusalem Post, qui défend une ligne proche de la droite conservatrice, commente un sondage : « Un juif israélien sur quatre célèbre ou envisage de célébrer Noël... ».  Le journal estime que « les retours de Noël à Nazareth ont attiré les visiteurs vers les marchés et les défilés » et que « l'éclairage des arbres de Bethléem [qui] a repris après deux saisons tamisées » signale « un rebond régional plus large ». Moins d'enthousiasme dans Hareetz : « Noël à Nazareth ? Annulé », « Jérusalem joyeuse et sainte ? Pas tout à fait. » « Cette année, les célébrations de Noël à Jérusalem se déroulent dans un contexte que les responsables palestiniens décrivent comme une réalité de plus en plus suffocante de restrictions, de fermetures et de pressions politiques », peut-on lire. Quant à Gaza : « Noël s'est déroulé dans le calme à l'intérieur de l'église de la Sainte-Famille, unique église catholique de la bande de Gaza, où la foi persiste malgré la destruction généralisée. » « Le cessez-le-feu décrété par Trump à Gaza n'est qu'une mise en scène masquant la volonté d'Israël de prolonger la guerre », peut-on également lire dans les colonnes opinion du journal Haaretz. « Les médias israéliens présentent de plus en plus une rupture croissante entre le président américain Donald Trump et le Premier ministre, Benjamin Netanyahu au sujet des conséquences de la crise à Gaza. » Sauf que « « le désaccord ne porte pas sur l'avenir de Gaza, mais sur la rapidité et la visibilité avec lesquelles les objectifs d'Israël devraient être consolidés », commente le journal. Des rennes finlandais victimes de la guerre en Ukraine ? Et, en cette veille de Noël, la presse parle aussi des rennes. Pas ceux du père Noël, mais de la Finlande, qui seraient des victimes collatérales de la guerre en Ukraine. Courrier International analyse la publication d'un reportage de la chaîne américaine CNN qui pose cette question : « Les loups de Russie seraient-ils responsables ? » Les données de l'Institut finlandais des ressources naturelles confirment une augmentation spectaculaire de la population de loups en Finlande ces dernières années. « L'Association des éleveurs de rennes de Finlande (...) indique qu'environ 1 950 rennes ont été tués par des loups rien que cette année, soit une augmentation de près de 70% par rapport à l'année dernière. » L'hypothèse avancée « est que les rennes finlandais sont tués en grand nombre par des loups russes franchissant la frontière de plus de 1 300 kilomètres qui sépare les deux pays ». Et la théorie la plus répandue parmi les scientifiques finlandais et les éleveurs, c'est « le recrutement massif et la mobilisation partielle d'hommes valides – y compris des chasseurs – [côté russe] pour l'effort de guerre en Ukraine ». De quoi faire écho à une « hostilité généralisée envers la Russie chez les Finlandais, qui se préparent à une éventuelle guerre avec leur voisin depuis plusieurs dizaines d'années », rappelle Courrier International.

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. Saudi Arabia’s former intelligence chief, Prince Turki bin Faisal, spoke with Magid on Sunday and said that Riyadh is currently not even entertaining the idea of normalizing relations with Israel and will only do so if Jerusalem begins acting like a “normal country.” We hear how Israel could behave more "normally" and what else the royal family member said. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee held a rare meeting with Palestinian Authority Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh in Ramallah last Wednesday to discuss ongoing tensions in the West Bank. We speak about the fraught US-PA ties and how this meeting comes on the heels of increased cooperation surrounding ceasefire efforts in the Gaza Strip. And finally, US Vice President JD Vance claimed in an interview on Sunday that almost no Americans are antisemitic and that concerns about antisemitic voices are raised as a way to avoid discussing “a real backlash to a consensus view in American foreign policy” on Israel. Magid delves into this thorny issue, even as attacks against Jews in the US continue to be at a high since the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. This week, we hear reviews of two films: the 2019 "An Officer and a Spy," a film by controversial director Roman Polanski on the Dreyfus Affair, which is now playing in the United States, and the shattering documentary, "The Voice of Hind Rajab." But the pair opens the program by honoring director-actor Rob Reiner, who was slain over the weekend alongside his wife, Michele. We learn about his early acting work and hear about many of his groundbreaking films that have become enduring classics. Hoffman tells us about Polanski's cinematic childhood and early adult life -- he barely survived the Holocaust and his wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family. We then hear how Polanski skipped out on the sentencing after pleading guilty to engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, a 13-year-old girl he was photographing for Vogue, and has lived outside of the US ever since, but still working consistently. And after all that, we learn about the merits of the film, "An Officer and a Spy." The final movie discussed is potentially even more controversial to several listeners, "The Voice of Hind Rajab." The film portrays the attempts of the Ramallah-based Red Crescent to send an ambulance to save the six-year-old Hind, who is trapped in a war zone in northern Gaza in a car with her family, who are all dead. Using the actual soundtrack from the terrified girl's phone calls for help, the film is a carefully crafted re-enactment of the impending tragedy. Hear which film(s) got a seal of approval on this week's The Reel Schmooze.

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. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a video message that he has approved the largest energy deal in Israel’s history. The natural gas deal with Egypt is worth NIS 112 billion ($34.7 billion), of which NIS 58 billion ($18 billion) will go into public coffers. Magid gives insight into the slow rollout of this massive deal. Magid reported yesterday that the US has secured commitments from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany to have their leaders join US President Donald Trump on the Board of Peace that will oversee the postwar management of Gaza. We review the significance of the names that are currently not on the list and the ambiguous mandate of the International Security Force -- including an apparent walk-back from forcing Hamas to disarm. On Sunday, hundreds of Palestinians attended protests across the West Bank against the Palestinian Authority’s new prisoner payment system. Does this public anger indicate that Ramallah is moving ahead with the Western-pushed welfare reform, or is it all smoke and mirrors, as Israel's Foreign Ministry alleges? In the annual Hanukkah party on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said that Congress “is becoming antisemitic,” as the “Jewish lobby” is no longer the strongest in Washington. Though he wasn't given a White House latke this year, Magid agrees to set the scene and delves into statements made at the celebration.Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the "murky" killing of US servicemen in Syria, attributing it to jihadist elements within the government's security forces. He describes the situation in Gaza as a deadlock where Hamas remains armed because no international force, other than the unacceptable option of Turkey, is willing to intervene. 1938 RAMALLAH

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Senior officials from the US, France and Saudi Arabia are set to meet in Paris today amid fears that Israel could embark on a new military operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon after a December 31 deadline to disarm the Iran-backed terror group passes, a diplomatic official told The Times of Israel on Tuesday. We have seen an uptick in tensions over the past few weeks. Fabian takes us back to early October to give context for what is currently happening on the ground. In one of his first moves, new Military Advocate General Maj. Gen. Itai Ofir decided today to close a criminal case against a senior reserves officer who was facing charges over his involvement in the circumstances that led to the deaths of a soldier and a civilian researcher in southern Lebanon in November 2024. Fabian was in the area when this occurred and fills us in. Israeli settlers torched a vehicle and sprayed graffiti in a West Bank village near Ramallah overnight, according to Palestinian media. The suspected crime took place in Ein Yabrud. The conflict in the West Bank, always at a low boil, but are appearances deceiving in that it seems to be on a higher flame in the past several weeks? After Palestinian media reported a series of Israeli airstrikes in eastern Gaza City, the IDF said it is conducting routine activity to demolish Hamas infrastructure in the Israeli-controlled area. In addition to the tunnel demolitions, there are almost daily incidents in which Gazans attempt to cross the Yellow Line from the Hamas-ruled side. Fabian gives several scenarios for the attempted crossings. Earlier in the month, Fabian visited Hamas’s “most complex” tunnel network in the Gaza Strip, where, eventually, the remains of Lt. Hadar Goldin were recovered. He was killed and abducted by the terror group in 2014, and it transpires that he was held some two kilometers from the Israeli border.

Producer Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting) shares why this project couldn't wait—launched in real time to push back against denial, disinformation, and a world struggling to absorb the scale of the tragedy. Bender reflects on the courage and trauma of the ordinary Israelis whose stories anchor the series, including survivors like Batsheva Olami, whose resilience changed the production team forever. Hear how filming during an active war shaped the storytelling, the emotional toll on everyone involved, and why capturing these true accounts is essential to ensuring October 7 is neither minimized nor forgotten.

Transcript of the Interview: [Clip from Red Alert] Manya Brachear Pashman:   Academy Award nominated film producer Lawrence Bender has quite a repertoire for both feature films and documentaries: Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Bastards, Good Will Hunting and Inconvenient Truth. In fact, his works have earned 36 Academy Award nominations.  His most recent TV miniseries is a more personal project on the second anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel, Paramount Plus began streaming a four episode series called red alert about the attack on festival goers, innocent passers by and families waking up to terrorists inside their Israeli homes that day, a tragedy that many of us, either on this podcast or listening have watched with overwhelming grief for the last two years. Lawrence is with us now to talk about how he grappled with this attack on Israel and the rise of antisemitism that followed.  Lawrence, welcome to People of the Pod. Lawrence Bender:   Thank you, Manya, it's good to be here.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So that clip that we played at the top of this episode, it's one of the few clips in English. Most of the dialog in this show is in Hebrew with subtitles. But that scene is a woman, Bathsheba and her two daughters. They're walking across a field trying to return home, and her son has been taken. Her husband is gone. This series weaves together her story and three or four other ordinary civilians fighting for their lives on October 7, 2023. You know, as someone personally who's been immersed in this subject matter for two years, to be honest, I had to muster the energy to watch this, and I'm so glad that I did. But why are, I mean, as we're still waiting for the last hostage to be returned, why was it important for this show to air now? Lawrence Bender:   Well, thank you so much for doing this with me, and thank you for playing that clip. I have to tell you first, I love that clip. I love that scene because one of the things about the show and the stories that we portrayed is that even with the horrific things that happened on that day, people still were able to fight back. People were still able to be strong. A mother with her daughter and her infant stood in the face of a terrorist and stood him down in real life, this happened.  Now, not everybody was so fortunate, and her husband Ohad was not fortunate, and her son was taken hostage, as you mentioned, but it does show her personal power in this horrific situation. And I just thought, you know, this woman is a real hero. I've spent a lot of time with her, Batsheva Olami, she's really an extraordinary human in all ways. So thank you for playing that clip.  So in terms of the show, I felt on October 8, it's just amazing how quickly, before Israel did anything, the entire world quickly turned against the very people who were the victims and having spent subsequently, a lot of time with people on the set, because, as you mentioned, this show was about real people, and those real people spent a lot of time on the set with us. And the very people that were traumatized, felt isolated, they felt alone, and they're the very ones that need to be loved, that need to be hugged, they need to be supported. Anyway, I just felt like I needed to do something fast to try to show the world what really happened. AndRed Alert is the result of that. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Do you fear that the world has already moved on? Lawrence Bender:   Oh, that's a good question. It feels like we've passed a tipping point, actually, in terms of Jew hatred and anti-Israel and antisemitism. Even as we are now trying to have a peace process, right, that somehow we are stumbling forward, and if that's going to happen, people need to understand why we're here and why we're here happened on October 7. And if you watch the show, hopefully you're pulled into the show, and you have a, you know, you have an emotional journey, and then you understand, oh, this really happened. And you understand that's the truth. And only when you really understand the truth of October 7 do I really think that you can really get some sort of peace. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So is this different from other historical events? You know, a lot of movies and television shows commemorate historical events, like the Holocaust, for example, but they happen years later. They're made years later. I kind of call it the never forget genre. But is October 7 unique in that it's not a question of whether people will forget or move on. It's a question of whether they believe that this present is actually true. Lawrence Bender:   That's right, there's the deniers. There's people that just don't know. There's people that forgot, maybe you know, there are people who I know that I had to explain. Like, you know, it's interesting. As an example, when you see the show and you see all these Hamas terrorists invading the kibbutz, and Ohad says to her, his wife, Bathsheva, he whispers in her ear, I just saw about 20 terrorists, and someone said to me, who's not unintelligent, I didn't realize there are that many. I didn't realize that. And if you're not really paying attention, maybe you don't really know. And look, they're the haters, haters which are never going to change. But I think there's a large group of people that just don't really understand, and they're the ones that I feel we have a shot at showing this to and having a conversation with. Manya Brachear Pashman:   In fact, are you actually introducing or experimenting with a new genre of truth or facts in the face of fiction. Lawrence Bender:   I guess that's true. I mean, this just happened. And some people ask over this last, you know, when I released, and we were paramount, released the show. You know, I've been asked a question, is it too soon? And my answer is, I feel like it's not soon enough. And I felt like immediately I needed to work on something, and this is the result of that. For me, personally, there are many collaborators of people on this show that incredible Israeli partners, my American partners. I mean, there's a lot of amazing people that came together to work on this, to make this show, but we really felt like time was of the essence, because the world was shifting so quickly, we wanted this to get out there, to show the world what really happened. Manya Brachear Pashman:   One of the reasons I'm pressing you on this, this was not a fiction film. This was based in reality. You said you met Bathsheba, the actors prepared for their roles by meeting with the very real people who they were portraying in this show whose stories they were recreating. I'm curious what some of the takeaways were for you, for your colleagues, from your encounters with these victims, with these survivors, and did anything about the production ever change after they got involved? Lawrence Bender:   It was truly a life changing experience for myself, but really for everyone involved, of course, myself and my partner, Kevin Brown and Jordana Rubin, and we were basically the only non Israelis that were full time producing the show. And everyone else was a citizen of the country. Everyone else, you know, was affected dramatically, everything but from like our key grips brother ran the kibbutz Raim, where we filmed that area that was a kibbutz overrun by terrorists, right? His brother survived. So it was really like every single person at some point, you know, we call it triggered, but it really happened quite often where you have a scene and people just have to stop for a second and take a moment, whether it's an actor finishing a scene or a crew member, you know, partaking in the making of the scene. But lots of things happen. I'll tell you one story which was, you know, quite interesting. We're working at the Nova festival scene, and one of the actors, Moran, her niece, was on vacation in Greece, and her niece told her, if a red headed police woman shows up on the set, she's the one who saved my life. And indeed, her name was Bat, she showed up, and we said, we need you to meet somebody. And we FaceTimed Moran's niece with Bat, and the young lady she's like in her early 20s, said, You're the one who saved my life. You're the one I was hiding by your feet while you were firing. And we asked, Did you remember the people that you saved? And she said, I really only remember the people I didn't save. You really felt the pain that she is still at that point a year and a half later, this is. In April, May, suffering from what she went through. RPG hit nearby her. She went flying through the air. She had had half reconstructive surgery, on and on and on. It was obviously an extremely traumatic day for her to you know, a moment where there's a woman on the set whose daughter was murdered, and someone on my crew, actually, Mya Fisher, has said, you know, there's someone here I want to introduce you to. It's after lunch. And I spent some time with her, and I asked her, you know, like, how do you go? Fine, I can't, you know, I can't imagine losing my son in this way. It's just unimaginable. And I asked her, do you have a rabbi? What do you do to survive?  And it was a very difficult emotional exchange. And sometime later, she had sort of retold that encounter to somebody else on the set who came to me and said, you know that woman you're talking to. She told me what happened, you know this conversation? And she said, You know this Hollywood producer came all the way from California, she doesn't know me, from Adam, and sat down with me for an hour to hear my story, and it clearly meant a lot to her. And again, you realize that the very people who are traumatized directly are not getting the love, are so isolated and people are against them, and it made me feel even more determined to tell these stories for the world to understand.  Every day we had these type of difficult, emotional and to be honest, I was extremely honored every time I met someone. I spent every Saturday night at Hostage Square because we were making the show, I got to spend time backstage with all the families who had loved ones in the tunnels. There was a deep dive into this. Now, I have to tell you, on the other hand, the filming while a war is still going on is quite it's like things you don't have to think about normally, right? So, as an example, we were in a town and we're shooting a shootout. We're filming a shootout between the IDF actors and the Hamas actor. They're actors. I keep saying they're actors, right? Because they are actors. But the mayor and the chief of police in the town were extremely worried, because they look real, right? They look like real people. And unfortunately, the cemetery is littered with people who have been murdered and killed by the Hamas. And all the other men who are there, they have guns, they carry, and if something's happening, they're going to run towards the problem. So he's worried, what if someone walks by, or someone's up in a building. He looks down and they see an actor who looks like Hamas, they are going to shoot him. So we literally had speakers every 10 yards, like all up and down the street, and every like 15-20 minutes, saying, don't worry, in Hebrew, of course, this is a movie, everything's okay. We had a drone up in the air, never coming down, on a tether with a police officer. They're a full big screen watching case someone walks down the street.  We dressed up the Hamas actors as they're walking from the holding area to the area where they're filming, we put them in these kind of white hazmat-like suits so that they couldn't confuse them, and when they got done filming, we put them right back in these hazmat white suits and brought them back to the holding area. We all had to dress up, and we had to wear these very, very light blue shirts the entire crew, so nobody looked like anything but a crew member. It was something, right?  Manya Brachear Pashman:   I did not even think about that. I mean, I knew that you had filmed on location in Israel, and I knew you had filmed during the war. In fact, I was going to explain to listeners who don't know Red Alert is what Israelis call the sirens and the phone alerts when there are rockets being fired upon Israel and they have time to seek shelter. I was going to ask you if you had been there during a red alert and had to seek shelter, but I didn't even think about the possibility of people confusing the filming with actual war activity. I imagine you were there during a red alert, and did have to seek shelter, yes? Lawrence Bender:   so there's different types of alerts in the south. We did shoot in the guys called the Gaza envelope. We shot within less than a mile away from the Gaza border. So a scene that comes soon after the one that you showed. They're resting under a tree, and we are in the Gaza envelope. And this is a scene where they're running from the Hamas. They're running, they're bare feet, and they're out of breath, and they stop under this tree that's hot, and so forth. And you can hear, just a mile away, the war going on in Gaza. Hear the bombs and everything, and we weren't worried about we're going to be attacked, but it was eerie hearing a war go on, and we're filming a scene where they're running from that war, right?  So it was dramatic every week or so still at that point, the Hamas would lob a missile bomb into southern Israel and an alert would go off. You have 15 seconds to. Get into. So we had to bring these portable concrete safe rooms with us so that crew, at any given moment can run quickly into one of these concrete things. We couldn't always do it. So there's always this conversation, and by the way, it costs a lot of money, so everything you're always carrying these things. There's a lot of planning that went on. But I have to tell you, as an American showing up in Israel for the first time after October 7, I wasn't used to these alarms going off, so we were fortunate that while we were filming in the south, no missiles were lobbed at us. However, my first day there, I'm in a meeting on the eighth floor. It was a Friday morning. I got in there on a Thursday evening, 10 o'clock in the morning, the alarm goes up. I mean, just like that, right? And it's loud.  And you have these buzzers. Everyone's phone is buzzing, not like the Amber Alerts we have, like, really buzzing loud. And everyone stops and looks at me, and they apologize to me. They apologize and they go, Oh, we're really sorry, but it's an alert. We have to go into a safe room. Oh, don't worry, it's just from the Houthis. It takes eight minutes to get here. Now it's an intercontinental ballistic missile. These are real big missiles. They can really do bad damage. Don't worry, the Iron Dome usually gets them. It's really okay. So we go, you know, we go into and they pick up their danish and their coffee, and of course, I take out my cell phone and I'm videotaping. And then we go in there, and when it's off, we go back to the meeting. The meeting starts as if it never happened. And then they stop, and they go, Oh, how was that for you? And then I just didn't realize, what with the emotion that was going on because we're not used to having missiles shot at us. It's not normal. And I started to bubble up with emotion, and I had to, like, stop myself, I didn't want to cry in front of all these people that I barely knew. So I had to suppress my feelings. Like, don't worry, it's okay. You're having a normal reaction, right? And that happened quite often while I was there.  Now, you do get used to it. And the last night I was there, I was having dinner outside, tables outside, you know, in restaurants everywhere. So we're having a typical outside dinner, and they're handing the fish, and the alarm goes off, and we go, let's eat. And we don't go into the restaurant where they're called maamads. You don't go into the safe room. So that's kind of the quote, unquote normal life. Now you imagine here in the United States we get a missile from Mexico or Canada or wherever. No one's going to put up with that. That's just insane. It's insane what people in Israel have to go through. Manya Brachear Pashman:   it really is. But it's interesting that you've kind of adopted the nonchalance that your colleagues had at the very beginning of the trip, and wow, certainly no apologies. I want to know if there's a missile headed my way. Thank you. It does sound like October 7 changed you personally. And I'd like to know as a progressive Jew, on what level did it change you as a human being. I mean, how did it change you the most? Lawrence Bender:   I've been an active Jewish person for maybe 20, somewhere, 2025, years. I went to Israel My first time. I was ready. As far as I'm concerned. I was too old already to go for the first time. It was like 2003 I went with the Israeli policy forum, and we met with a lot of people there, and we ended up going to Ramallah, met with Abu Mazen, we went to Cairo and met with the president there, Barak, and met with a lot of people in Israel and so forth. And I've been involved one way or another for quite a while. But of course, October 7 was dramatic. Of course, I was safe in my house in Los Angeles, but I still watched in horror. And of course, October 8, it's just hard to understand what happened. It was the latent antisemitism, Jew hatred, that sits there. I still don't quite understand that.  It feels like antisemitism never went away, but it was underneath, and it just gave a good excuse to come out, and now the world is where it is. So yeah, for me, I became much more active than I was before. It became much more important to me, my Jewishness, my relationship to Israel. I want to protect Israel as much as I have that power to you know, whatever my ability is, like a lot of people, I know it's become a really important part of my existence, and it's like a new chapter in my life. I'm absolutely looking for more Jewish or Israeli projects. You know, I'm looking to do as much as possible in this area. Manya Brachear Pashman:   A number of your colleagues in Hollywood have proposed boycotting Israeli film festivals, institutions, projects, they're going the opposite direction that you are. And I'm curious if you had difficulty finding an American network to air this series, and what do you say when you confront colleagues who do want to boycott and are hostile toward Israel? Lawrence Bender:   You know, there's different groups of people. They're the true haters. I don't think that you can ever even have a conversation with them. There are people who just don't understand, and there's people you can and there are people who you know they're trying to be good people. They're trying to understand, like, What don't you understand about women being brutally raped and murdered? It's a little hard for me to understand that, actually. But there are a lot of good people who just are either confused or got too much of the wrong message.  But the one thing I would say straight up is, let's take an analogy. You know, there's very few people that I know that you see on TV, on any news show, that is very empathetic with the regime in Iran as an example, right? That means a brutal regime. If you're a liberal or if you're a conservative, there's very few people who support that regime here in this country, right? But they don't boycott their filmmakers, right? They actually give their filmmakers Academy Awards. So why is that with Israel? I feel like there's something very misguided here in Hollywood. Now, we got really lucky when it came to distribution. I just have to say, because we were supposed to go out to sell the show like it was fully financed from equity and from Keshet, who's the local Israeli. This is the biggest network in Israel, by the way. It's the biggest drama in Israel in the last decade. It really performed well there. But now we're going to go sell it here in the United States and the rest of the world, and it's early September, which is our deadline to do that, and Israel bombs Qatar, and then this boycott letter is signed. And I have to tell the investors. You know, it's like, this is not a good time. We cannot go sell. We're just gonna fail, and there's no second chances.  And you know, I was getting into dramatic arguments with my investors because they really felt strong. You got to be like that character in your show, the police officer is going to save his wife and you know, nothing's going to stop you. And I said, Yes, I'm with you. I developed that character I know in the Middle East arguments. I was at Skip Brittenham's memorial. Skip is like this beautiful man who was like the Mount Rushmore of lawyers here in LA. He's just a great human and one of those guys that wants to make deals, not just take everything and have the other guy get nothing. He was just like a he's just a real mensch, right? And well, loved anyway. Unfortunately, he passed, but I was at his memorial, and I ran into David Ellison. Now, I know David a little bit, not well, but I know him a little bit, and I also know that, you know, he loves Israel, from what I've read and so forth. And so I went up to him and said, Hey, man, we talked. I said, you got to know what I'm doing. And it probably got three words out of my mouth, and you can see him go, I'd love to see this. This sounds amazing, and sounds like it's exactly the timing we need.  And we sent him the material, and he watched every episode himself, and then he gave it to Cindy Holland, who runs paramount, plus his main person. And you know, they said, we do this. We want this. It would be an honor to be your partner in this is actually quite humbling. And it was an incredible moment for us to have David Ellison, Cindy Holland, say, hey. You know, we want this now. Then they said, We need to drop it. We want to drop all the episodes on October 7? Well, by the time they got those episodes, it was like two weeks to go before October 7, or a couple days before, because we couldn't give it to them in the midnight before October 7, obviously. And they had pretty much final picture edit, but we had temporary sound, temporary music, temporary effects, and so we had to work double triple shifts to get it done. But of course, we did. Manya Brachear Pashman:   This actually reminds me of a conversation I had with playwright, screenwriter, Oren softy for the Forgotten Exodus, which is a podcast series we did about Jews from the Middle East. He spoke about his father's side of the family, which hails from Aleppo, Syria, and he shared a lot of his frustrations with the modern anti Israel movement and sentiments in Hollywood, the protests which he's been trying to combat in theater and on the stage. And he actually said that investors had pulled out of a film project about Israel when tensions flared. So it's interesting to hear your investors took the opposite approach, but he told me in our conversations, he told me that being Jewish is about stepping up. That's how he sees it. It's about stepping up. And I'm curious if that rings true to you, and do you feel like this series and your plans to do more, is that your way of stepping up? Lawrence Bender:   Hmm, that's beautiful, and I'm so glad to hear you recount that story with him. I'd love to talk to him about that I feel like, without really understanding that it's built into me genetically, right? My grandparents, far as you go back, my family is Jewish, right? From Romania, from Hungary, from Minsk Belarus. So it's the way that you're brought up as a Jew. It's just always been a part of our lives, and we're pretty much taught that that's part of being Jewish, right? So, you know, I've always felt like it's important for me.  Now I tell you, you know, it's interesting, and I think about as we're talking so in the 90s, when I was getting started, and I was actually doing pretty well this one year, I had Good Will Hunting and Jackie Brown and a price above Rubens, those three movies, and things were going well, but I felt like something was missing in my life. And then we screened Good Will Hunting and Camp David in 1998 and it was an amazing moment. And that was like one of these light bulb moments for me. You know, I met the President and Mrs. Clinton and Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Defense, Sandy Berger and the Chief of Staff and Senate Majority Leader, and on and on, right? They're all there.    And it was Matt Damon, Ban Affleck, Gus Van Zant, Robin Williams, et cetera, et cetera, right? And I felt like these guys are making a difference, and that's what was missing in my life. And so since 1998 I've been always looking for ways that I'm and that's that's that becomes like a more of a fulfilling way of living right for myself. So yes, I would answer that. That's a long way to get to yes. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Wow, Camp David, that's awesome. Lawrence, thank you so much for joining us and for talking about the impetus behind this series. I encourage everyone to take some time, brace yourself emotionally, but do sit down and watch Red Alert. It is really quite worthwhile. Thank you so much. Lawrence Bender: Thank you. Manya Brachear Pashman:   If you missed last week's episode, be sure to tune in for my conversation with AJC colleague, Dr Alexandra Herzog, the granddaughter of Chaim Herzog, Israel's Irish born sixth president. She shared how an attempt by Dublin officials to strip her grandfather's name from a community park illustrates how criticism of Israel can veer into an effort to erase Jewish memory. As I mentioned in my conversation with Lawrence, it took some degree of wherewithal to watch Red Alert, as we've spent the last two years on this podcast speaking with the families of hostages, former hostages themselves, and survivors of the October 7 massacre. I've wanted nothing more than to make sure their voices are heard. We end this week's episode with the voice of Orna Neutra, the mother of Omer Neutra. Orna recently spoke at the AJC Long Island meeting, shortly after the return of her son's remains more than two years after his death, followed by a word from AJC Long Island Director Eric Post. Orna Neutra: When Omer was taken, our world collapsed. But something else happened too. People stood up. People showed up. And many of you here showed up. This community, the broader Long Island Jewish community, AJC, our friends, colleagues, neighbors, complete strangers, carried us. You wrote, you marched, you advocated, you pressured you called you consoled and refused to let the world look away. To our personal friends and honorees here tonight, Veronica, Laurie, and Michael, your leadership has not been symbolic. It has been practical, steady and deeply felt by our family.  Like you said, Veronica, on the first days when we were barely understanding what was going on, you connected us to Senator Schumer's office, and Michael, you helped us write a letter to the White House on October 8, and that was the first sign from hostage families that the White House received. We know that Secretary Blinken had the letter in his hands on October 8, indicating that Omer was probably a hostage.  And AJC as an organization, beyond your many actions and advocacy, I want to specifically acknowledge your DC team. It was mentioned here tonight, throughout our many, many, many visits to Capitol Hill, AJC professionals were instrumental. They arranged meetings, they walked us through endless hallways, opened doors, prepared us and stood beside us, and they're still doing that for us, and we will see them this week. Always professional, with purpose and humanity, and we will never forget that. Over these two years, we learned something essential: that when Jewish families are in danger, the responsibility belongs to all of us, across movements, across generations, across continents. This work is the work that AJC does every day. This is the work that everyone here in this room understands. Eric Post:  Since the horrors of October 7, AJC has been empowering leaders around the world to take action against antisemitism and stand with Israel. But we cannot succeed alone. Please consider supporting AJC's work with a year-end gift today. Right now, your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, making double the impact.  Every gift matters. Every dollar makes a difference in the fight for a strong and secure Jewish future. Donate at AJC.org/donate – that's www - dot - AJC - dot org  slash donate.

« Les méthodes d'Israël pour imposer un régime de terreur inédit en Cisjordanie » : c'est le titre d'une longue enquête menée par Le Monde à Paris. Le Monde qui constate que « le niveau de violence infligé aux Palestiniens qui résident dans ce territoire n'a jamais été aussi élevé depuis 1967, date du début de son occupation par l'Etat hébreu. » « Les Palestiniens ont peur, écrit le journal. De l'armée. De la police. Du Shin Bet (le renseignement intérieur). Des colons. Des arrestations. Des interrogatoires. De la prison. Des checkpoints. Des patrouilles. Même de prendre la route entre les différentes villes de Cisjordanie. “Les soldats viennent, ils ferment la rue. Souvent, ils tirent des gaz lacrymogènes, parfois avec leurs armes. Sans raison. Ils nous terrorisent, dit un employé d'un restaurant (…). “Ce qu'ils cherchent, c'est à nous terrifier, et ils y arrivent : j'ai peur“, dit un autre, quinquagénaire, en expliquant rêver d'un asile en Espagne. “Ils veulent nous faire partir“, affirme un troisième. “Le sang palestinien coule, mais ne vaut rien. Personne ne leur dit d'arrêter“, note un quatrième. “Ils n'ont plus de respect pour personne, ni les vieux, ni les enfants, ni les femmes“, relève un cinquième, effaré. Ces mots s'entendent à Ramallah, Bethléem, Sinjil, Naplouse, Tourmous Aya ou Tubas, pointe Le Monde. Dans toute la Cisjordanie en réalité. Car, si l'occupation militaire par Israël est en cours depuis 1967, elle a profondément changé de nature depuis la prise de pouvoir d'une coalition de droite et d'extrême droite, autour du premier ministre, Benyamin Nétanyahou, à la fin de 2022. Le mouvement s'est accentué depuis le 7-Octobre et l'attaque du Hamas en Israël qui a fait 1.200 morts. » Poursuite des frappes à Gaza A Gaza, à présent, « le cessez-le-feu est officiellement toujours en vigueur, mais les massacres se poursuivent, constate Haaretz à Tel Aviv. Presque chaque jour, Israël lance des frappes sur le territoire assiégé et dévasté. Dans certains cas, précise le quotidien d'opposition israélien, les victimes sont des militants qui ont ouvert le feu sur les forces israéliennes déployées derrière la “Ligne jaune“, qui sépare les zones de la bande de Gaza contrôlées par le Hamas et celles contrôlées par Israël. Dans bien d'autres cas, il s'agit de civils, y compris des enfants. La “Ligne jaune“ est mal délimitée et la franchir c'est s'exposer à la mort. » Haaretz qui constate également que « le taux de mortalité infantile a augmenté de 75% à Gaza par rapport aux niveaux d'avant-guerre. » Des chiffres avancés par l'UNICEF. « L'une des causes possibles est la malnutrition maternelle pendant la grossesse. Entre juillet et septembre, plus de 1.300 bébés de faible poids sont décédés chaque mois, soit le double du taux enregistré avant la guerre. » Le Hamas a-t-il caché des tonnes de vivres ? Justement, la famine à Gaza aurait-elle été orchestrée par… le Hamas ? C'est l'avis du Jerusalem Post, quotidien proche du pouvoir israélien. Le Jerusalem Post qui s'appuie sur le témoignage d'un chercheur palestinien qui vit aux Etats-Unis. D'après lui, « au plus fort de la crise alimentaire à Gaza ces six derniers mois, le Hamas a délibérément caché des tonnes de lait infantile et de boissons nutritionnelles pour enfants en les stockant dans des entrepôts clandestins appartenant au ministère de la Santé de Gaza. » Une révélation, commente le Jerusalem Post qui « contraste fortement avec la couverture médiatique mondiale de ces derniers mois, selon laquelle Israël affamait délibérément les enfants de Gaza. » Ce témoignage, poursuit le journal, « met au grand jour une vérité que beaucoup en Occident trouvent gênante : le Hamas manipule l'opinion publique tout en restant totalement indifférent aux souffrances de son propre peuple. »  Enfin, cette enquête d'Amnesty International publiée ce jeudi… Un travail de 170 pages, relève La Croix à Paris, qui porte sur les attaques du 7 octobre 2023 perpétrés par le Hamas. « Deux ans plus tard, donc, et à l'issue de plusieurs mois d'enquête, Amnesty conclut que le mouvement islamiste et ses alliés ont bien commis des crimes de guerre, mais sont aussi coupables de crimes contre l'humanité. » Le rapport d'Amnesty « établit le caractère généralisé et systématique de l'assaut sur une population civile, et souligne un “mépris odieux“ du mouvement et de ses alliés “pour la vie humaine“. »

corpi arrivano prima delle parole. Aws Bani Harith, vent'anni, steso su un lettino con la pelle incisa come un terreno devastato: racconta la tortura dei coloni meglio di qualsiasi testimonianza. Jamal Shtiw, la testa bendata, ripete che erano più di trenta, armati di pietre, bastoni, spray, e che sua figlia urlava mentre gli incendiavano l'auto. Nour al-Din Dawood esce dal carcere irriconoscibile, un'ombra del ragazzo che era. In mezzo scorrono le raffiche dei droni su Gaza City est, quelle che nei video illuminano il buio come se cercassero di cancellarlo. Intorno ai volti c'è la mappa della violenza: nella Cisgiordania di queste ore i coloni entrano nei villaggi a est di Ramallah, bruciano veicoli, lasciano scritte sui muri, attraversano le strade come pattuglie autonome. I numeri delle agenzie non hanno più nulla di astratto: cinque attacchi al giorno dall'inizio dell'anno, uliveti devastati, famiglie spinte via con la certezza dell'impunità. In quelle statistiche c'è Aws, c'è Jamal, c'è chi non ha una telecamera accanto. E poi Gaza, dove i progetti sul “dopo” vengono annunciati mentre il “durante” non si arresta. La Casa Bianca parla di una nuova fase entro due settimane, un'architettura di sicurezza per la Gaza che verrà; intanto a Tuffah saltano case, a Maghazi si scava tra le macerie, a Khan Yunis continuano i colpi delle navi al largo. Le tregue future vivono separate dalle esplosioni presenti. Sul confine nord UNIFIL denuncia tre nuovi attacchi israeliani in Libano, un'altra violazione della 1701. In Europa si discute di boicottaggi, presepi che mettono Gaza al centro, gesti che sembrano minuscoli mentre tutto continua a franare. Resta la distanza tra ciò che si annuncia e ciò che accade. La diplomazia scrive il futuro, i corpi raccontano il presente. E nessuno dei due coincide con la parola “pace”. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

En Cisjordanie occupée, les enfants sont sur-représentés parmi les victimes de l'occupation militaire israélienne. Cinquante mineurs palestiniens ont été tués depuis le début de l'année 2025, la plupart par l'armée. Plus de 2 000 enfants et adolescents ont été arrêtés depuis les attaques du 7-Octobre, pour des séjours plus ou moins prolongés dans les prisons israéliennes, où ils subiraient des sévices dénoncés par les principales ONG de défense des droits humains. RFI est allé à la rencontre de Bassam : il a 17 ans et a été libéré dimanche 23 novembre, après six mois de détention dans la prison israélienne d'Ofer. De notre correspondant à Ramallah, Sous le regard de sa mère, Bassam soulève son t-shirt sous lequel les marques, sur son corps amaigri, racontent la prison israélienne. « J'ai encore les traces des coups, les marques des menottes. Pendant trois mois, je ne pouvais pas sentir mes mains. C'est le résultat de la maladie qu'on attrape en prison, la gale », témoigne-t-il. Le jeune homme de 17 ans a été arrêté pour avoir jeté des pierres sur une jeep de l'armée, puis condamné après des aveux contraints : « Ils m'ont interrogé pendant trois jours pour m'arracher des aveux. Ils menaçaient ma mère. Toute cette pression, surtout quand il parlait de ma mère, cela m'a détruit. J'ai eu peur pour elle, alors j'ai fini par avouer. Pour qu'ils ne lui fassent rien. » Prison ou pas, Bassam est un adolescent. Comme de nombreux jeunes de son âge, il vit et rêve football. « J'ai fourré un bout de drap dans une chaussette et j'ai serré autour avec un bout de tissu. Je l'ai cousue et j'ai commencé à jouer avec, comme un petit ballon. Un truc pour m'entraîner et jouer au foot dans la cellule », détaille-t-il. Des rêves qui n'ont pas leur place dans les cellules de la prison. « Le gardien m'a dit : "Toi, tu n'es pas au Camp Nou, tu n'es pas au Bernabeu", et il a commencé à me frapper en répétant : "Ici, ce n'est pas un terrain de jeu, ce n'est pas dans un stade." Moi, je me disais : avec tout ce que j'invente juste pour réussir à vivre un peu, ils me frappent quand même », se souvient-il. Pour avoir, lui aussi, jeté des pierres sur une jeep de l'armée israélienne, le frère de Bassam a été tué d'une balle dans la tête, en 2018. Il avait 16 ans. Son sourire juvénile est encadré sur les murs du salon. Sami, 15 ans, fan de football... abattu par un sniper À Kufr Aqab, près de Ramallah, un autre rêveur de ballon rond a été fauché par un tir de sniper, vendredi 21 novembre. Il s'appelait Sami et il avait 15 ans. « Il jouait sur sa trottinette électrique avec ses amis et son cousin, ils faisaient le tour du quartier, ils étaient contents. Ils ont entendu qu'il y avait une incursion de l'armée, alors comme n'importe quel jeune, par curiosité, ils sont allés voir. Le sniper a tiré et la balle l'a frappé dans le dos », raconte sa mère avec douleur. Celle-ci nous ouvre la chambre du garçon. Sur son lit, soigneusement pliée, sa tenue complète de l'équipe palestinienne de football. « Ils l'ont aussi arraché à ses frères et sœurs. Chaque matin, en se réveillant, ils respirent son odeur sur ses vêtements restés à la maison, et cela leur rappelle sa présence. C'est la seule chose qui nous aide à supporter son absence », confie-t-elle. Comme tous les vendredis, Sami aurait dû se rendre à l'entrainement. « Comme n'importe quelle mère palestinienne, je vivais dans la crainte : est-ce que mon fils va rentrer à la maison ou non ? Chaque fois qu'il quittait la maison, je le confiais à Dieu », se lamente-t-elle. Secouée de sanglots, la mère serre contre son cœur, les chaussures imbibées de sang que son fils portait, ce jour-là.

This episode invites you to a conversation Ulrike Lühe has with Ahmed Abofoul, international human rights lawyer at the Palestinian NGO Al-Haq. Speaking from his deep experience documenting grave violations against Palestinians under Israeli occupation, Ahmed reveals the challenges and stakes of building an evidentiary record amid protracted conflict and state obstruction. The methodological rigor of Al-Haq's evidence collection—including on-the-ground fieldwork, open-source investigations, and advanced digital tools employed in a joint project with Forensic Architecture—ensures their documentation is admissible in courts and withstands political pressure and scrutiny. Ahmed reflects on the contextualising of discrete violations within broader patterns of occupation and apartheid is essential for understanding and legally characterising the situation. While digititilisation enhances accessibility and verification, he reminds us that it brings unique risks under occupation, requiring careful balance between transparency and the protection of sources and witnesses. About: Ahmed Abofoul is a Gaza-born international lawyer and Senior Legal Researcher and Advocacy Officer at Al-Haq, a leading Palestinian human rights organisation based in Ramallah. Now based in The Hague, he specialises in documenting violations of international law and advocating before global accountability mechanisms. With extensive field and legal expertise, Abouful is recognised for his meticulous work supporting justice for Palestinians. More Information: Al Haq home page / Forensic Architecture Investigation Unit / Forensic Architecture home page The 3-part series “Can the record be trusted?” explores the prospects and challenges of human rights documentation and archives in the digital age, with speakers from an international expert workshop that took place at Queens University Belfast in November 2024.

À Jérusalem, ce jeudi 13 novembre 2025, à la sortie de la ville, après la colonie de Ramot, nous vous proposons une illustration de la colonisation rampante. Trois villages palestiniens vivent isolés du reste des territoires palestiniens et ils ont appris qu'ils étaient désormais situés sur « une zone de jonction », qui change leur statut et leurs papiers de résidence.  De notre correspondante à Jérusalem, La petite école de Nabi Samuel est en préfabriqué, Nawal Barakat y enseigne les mathématiques. Elle a appris en septembre dernier que son village de 300 habitants avait changé de statut. L'organisme israélien chargé d'administrer les territoires palestiniens occupés, le Cogat lui a délivré un nouveau permis pour qu'elle puisse vivre chez elle. « Nous sommes allés chercher ces nouveaux permis, ce sont des cartes à puces magnétiques de couleur orange. Ce permis, c'est juste pour entrer et sortir du village. Ça nous inquiète beaucoup. Nous ne savons pas ce que signifie "Nouveau résident" inscrit sur la carte, s'inquiète Nawal. Je suis ici chez moi, et les habitants du village aussi, nous sommes nés là. Pourquoi me dit-on "nouveau résident" ? Cette phrase est ambiguë. On ne sait pas vraiment ce qui se passe. » Une carte magnétique qui fait office de permis de résidence Nabi Samuel n'est pas le seul village concerné par les nouvelles règles. Beit Iksa se trouve six kilomètres à vol d'oiseau. En voiture, c'est plus compliqué. Le jour de notre reportage, impossible de passer, les militaires israéliens interdisent l'accès aux étrangers. Nous avons rendez-vous avec un conseiller municipal, Imad Zayed qui nous rejoint donc de l'autre côté du check point, au bord de la route. Imad Zayed explique qu'il sort toujours de chez lui avec une série de cartes dans son portefeuille : « Chaque personne a besoin de trois choses : une carte d'identité, la nouvelle carte magnétique qui est un permis de résidence et l'enregistrement sur l'application appelée le coordinateur al Monasseq. C'est sur le téléphone. L'autorisation est valable pendant un an. Cette carte orange, sans l'autorisation sur l'application, ne vaut rien. Mais sans cette carte, je ne peux pas entrer non plus. » Une « annexion administrative » Ces Palestiniens coincés entre la ligne verte de 1967, le mur de séparation et les colonies, étaient habitués aux restrictions de déplacement, mais les nouvelles mesures les isolent davantage et rendent leur quotidien encore plus compliqué pour se déplacer ou faire entrer des marchandises dans le village. De facto, Israël a récupéré 20 km² de territoire. Pour Salah Al Khawaja, activiste contre la colonisation à Ramallah, toute cette bureaucratie a un objectif très clair : « Aujourd'hui, avec la politique de Ben-Gvir, Smotrich et Netanyahu, les trois villages sont traités différemment du reste des territoires palestiniens. Il y a une annexion administrative. Une annexion administrative, cela signifie que les règles changent comme ce nouveau statut de résident, même pour ceux qui sont nés dans le village Nabi Samuel. » Salah estime que c'est une façon de briser le rêve d'un État palestinien.

In this episode of our "Gaza & the World" series, Helena Cobban talked with Dr. Ghada Karmi about the intersection of the genocide in Gaza and the shifting global balance of power. Dr. Karmi is a British-Palestinian who had a strong career in London as a physician and a medical historian; then between 2002 and 2023 she published four  thoughtful books that explored not only her own personal experiences as a member of the Nakba generation and a justice activist, but also the broader realities faced by Palestinians inside and outside the homeland. Her most recent work of non-fiction was One State:  The Only Democratic Future for Palestine-Israel. Dr. Karmi described the unprecedented groundswell of popular support for Palestinian rights the British public has displayed since October 2023, which she contrasted with the continued pro-Israel stance of the British government and many of the country's elite institutions. She detailed her role as a juror of conscience at the Gaza People's Tribunal in Istanbul, where she and others weighed the extremely harrowing testimonies of Israel's atrocities in Gaza. She was unequivocal: the underlying cause of the Palestinians' suffering is Zionism, which must therefore, she argued, be dismantled— which would not be the same as the physical destruction of Israel or its people. She was deeply skeptical of the wisdom of striving for a two-state solution, seeing it as perpetuating the destructive ideology of Zionism. She called instead for the reconstitution of pre-Zionist Palestine and the establishment of a single democratic state for all. She also described some of the experiences she had had while working as a consultant for the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, back in 2005.She recognized the significance of the hopeful shifts among younger generations and new political actors in the West but warned that time is running out for Palestinian rights and existence. Support the show

Dana Abu Koash, is the International Humanitarian Law coordinator with the Palestine Red Crescent Society, based in Ramallah, the West Bank. Dana is in Dublin for the Irish Red Cross, International Humanitarian Law Conference, ‘From Commitments to Action: Protecting Humanity in Crisis' which took place on Thursday.

PREVIEW. Inside Gaza: Estimates of Hamas's Remaining Combat Forces and Fighter Pay. Ahmad Fouad Alkhatib of the Atlantic Council discusses the situation inside the half of Gaza where Hamas maintains control using the power of the gun. Based on contacts on the ground, he is highly skeptical of estimates claiming 15,000 to 30,000 Hamas troops. His personal estimate, shared by military intelligence contacts, places the number of combat-effective militants at no more than 3,000 to 5,000. Hamas allegedly offers its fighters $20 to $25 a day. RAMALLAH

Israel Seeks Reliable Multinational Force to Prevent Hamas Resurgence in Gaza. David Daoud discusses Israel's primary concern regarding a multinational force in Gaza: ensuring its reliability to prevent Hamas's resurgence or rearmament. Hamas is reasserting control and slow-rolling the recovery of remaining hostages' bodies to establish the ceasefire. US drones monitor adherence to the ceasefire. Israel has ended the emergency status in the south, signaling a slow return to normal life. 1939 RAMALLAH

La poétique du souvenir avec Yasmine Hamdan (Liban) et Christine Zayed (Palestine). Yasmine Hamdan est notre 1ère invitée pour la sortie de son 3ème album I Remember I Forget Yasmine Hamdan a d'abord surgi sur la scène musicale avec la formation indie électronique pionnière Soapkills, formée avec Zeid Hamdan dans le Beyrouth de la fin des années 90. Le répertoire entêtant et irrévérencieux du duo ainsi que ses visuels auront rayonné créativement à travers le monde arabe et au-delà, culminant avec une anthologie en 2015. Après s'être installée à Paris en 2005, la musicienne collabore avec le producteur Mirwais (ex-Taxi Girl et producteur de Madonna) pour le projet Y.A.S., à l'origine d'un album dansant et raffiné, Arabology, paru chez Universal en 2009. Depuis, elle s'est fait un nom au-delà des frontières en tant qu'autrice-compositrice et productrice solo, entrelaçant avec élégance des univers éloignés comme la poésie, la pop et la tradition panarabe, l'electronica, la soul ou encore la guitar music. Elle a collaboré avec des cinéastes de tous horizons tels que Elia Suleiman, Jim Jarmusch (chantant notamment à l'écran dans le film de 2013 Only Lovers Left Alive), Daniele Arbid ou Ghassan Salhab, et a joué au sein de projets collectifs majeurs comme Africa Express. En solo, Yasmine Hamdan a sorti un premier disque en 2013, Ya Nass, un en 2017, Al Jamilat, et à présent son troisième album I Remember I Forget, co-produit aux côtés de son collaborateur de longue date Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague). La mémoire est une force sans pareille. I Remember I Forget [Je me souviens que j'oublie] succède à deux disques solo salués à l'international, Ya Nass (2013) et Al Jamila (2017). L'album scelle la réputation de Yasmine Hamdan en tant que conteuse talentueuse, performeuse captivante et défricheuse indépendante. L'artiste polyglotte, née à Beyrouth et installée à Paris, a toujours mêlé dans sa musique l'intime, le poétique et la politique, souvent avec un humour vif, puisant ses influences dans les dialectes et sonorités du monde pan-arabe et d'ailleurs. C'est plus que jamais le cas sur ce nouvel album, un ensemble de chants de beauté et de fureur légitime, forgé dans le tumulte de crises mondiales, notamment l'explosion en 2020 du port de Beyrouth et l'effondrement économique du Liban (désastre financier qui aura protégé l'élite aux dépens du plus grand nombre). Dans un monde moderne de plus en plus fracturé, les prises de parole de Yasmine Hamdan semblent plus vitales que jamais. «Pour cet album, je voulais m'attacher à un lieu spécifique — et il fallait que ce soit le Liban», explique Yasmine Hamdan. «Mon lien avec le Liban et ce qui lui est arrivé a constitué le terreau à partir duquel j'ai commencé à écrire et composer l'album. Cependant, au fur et à mesure du processus créatif, cet endroit est devenu un symbole, une métaphore, une catharsis pour ce qui se passe plus largement dans le monde et à travers l'expérience collective.»  «En dépit de la douleur ressentie devant ce qui est infligé à mon lieu de naissance, s'est installé peu à peu un sentiment de tendresse, de familiarité, ce qui m'a apporté de l'espoir et de l'inspiration. Beyrouth a certainement continué à être généreuse avec moi», raconte-t-elle. Yasmine Hamdan s'est ainsi attelée à l'écriture des chansons, renouant pour l'occasion avec un collaborateur de longue date, Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague). I Remember I Forget a été produit sous la tutelle de leurs labels respectifs, Hamdanistan et Kwaidan, et paraît chez Crammed Discs / [PIAS].   Titres joués durant l'entretien : I Remember I Forget, Shmaali, Shadia et The Beautiful Losers. ► Album I Remember I Forget (Crammed Discs / [PIAS] 2025). Site Yasmine Hamdan - Bandcamp. YouTube. Actu concert 18 mars, Paris Le Trianon.   Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Christine Zayed pour l'album Kama Kuntu. Née dans une famille mélomane de Palestine, élevée entre Jérusalem et Ramallah, Christine Zayed est une chanteuse, une compositrice et une instrumentiste, virtuose du qanûn. Elle a été initiée dès son plus jeune âge à la musique arabe classique et contemporaine, ainsi qu'à la musique traditionnelle palestinienne. Son répertoire s'appuie principalement sur la musique arabe classique, basée sur le maqam (la science et la pratique de l'improvisation modale arabe), et sur la poésie arabe, en particulier la poésie palestinienne contemporaine. Ses compositions, fortement ancrées dans la tradition, sont résolument contemporaines, recherchant les chemins de la modernité dans le croisement avec d'autres univers musicaux. Elle vit et travaille en France depuis quelques années et collabore à de multiples projets, notamment au sein de l'Ensemble Chakâm ou du groupe Atine. Elle se produit en solo ou en trio avec le flûtiste Sylvain Barou et le percussionniste Habib Meftah interprétant un répertoire que l'on retrouve dans son premier album, Kama Kuntu («Ce que j'étais»). On y croise plusieurs invités, notamment Piers Faccini. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Avant que je photographie les oiseaux, Live RFI - Animal, Feat.

Palestine's olive harvest season started this month, and quickly became the target of Israeli settler attacks. A viral video this week showed a mob violently chasing Palestinian olive pickers in an occupied West Bank town north-east of Ramallah. A masked man is seen striking a woman with a club in the field, knocking her to the ground. In another town, farmers trying to harvest their groves were met by gunfire from Israeli soldiers, who are known to offer protection to settlers. These incidents are not new but the UN has documented a 13 per cent increase in settler attacks this year compared to the same period last year. In addition to violence and vandalism, farmers are now also facing the threat of Israeli annexation. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher speaks to Ajith Sunghay, head of the UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and Abbas Milhem, executive director of the Palestinian Farmers' Union. They discuss the recent rise in assaults and the impact of Israel's land grab policies on Palestinian agriculture.

Este capítulo es el registro del conversatorio 'Fotografía palestina: enunciación memoria y resistencia', donde escuchamos las reflexiones de dos fotógrafas y un fotógrafo palestinos que hicieron parte de Fotográfica Bogotá, la bienal de fotografía de Bogotá. Conversamos sobre los nuevos significados que ha cobrado la fotografía palestina como una forma de resistencia estética y cultural de su pueblo tras el 7 de octubre. Participaron:Dina Salem: fotógrafa autodidacta, ilustradora, investigadora y escritora radicada en Palestina. Como cofundadora de El-Ghorfeh, el primer cuarto oscuro independiente en Palestina, Dina trabaja y enseña técnicas analógicas experimentales y procesos alternativos.Maen Hammad: fotógrafo documental y escritor palestino, criado en Detroit y radicado en Ramallah. Su proyecto Landing documenta a jóvenes patinadores palestinos en Cisjordania ocupada, mostrando el skate como resistencia ante la violencia y la colonización israelí. Dana Barqawi: artista multidisciplinaria y urbanista, radicada en Ammán, Jordania. Su obra desafía narrativas coloniales, explora identidades autóctonas, aspectos de la feminidad y de la comunidad. Modera: Nathalia Guerrero Duque, directora 070

En Cisjordanie occupée, plus de 40 000 personnes ont été déplacées de force depuis le début de l'année. Expulsions, arrestations, check-points, tout cela concourt à mettre les Palestiniens sous haute pression. L'impact psychologique, l'une des faces invisibles de la colonisation, touche enfants comme adultes et inquiète les praticiens sur place. De notre correspondante de retour de Bethléem,  Lever aux aurores pour Razzan Quran. Elle est psychologue itinérante. Ce matin, elle est attendue à Bethléem, à seulement 30 kilomètres de chez elle, à Ramallah. Elle est sortie près de trois heures avant son rendez-vous. « Chaque jour, chaque heure, ils ouvrent ou ferment un nouveau check-point, se plaint-elle. Personnellement, je ne peux jamais prévoir avec certitude à quel moment je vais arriver. Votre boussole interne est littéralement déréglée. Être dans un véhicule avec d'autres Palestiniens me procure un sentiment de protection et de confiance. » Si elle se sent protégée dans l'habitacle de ce taxi collectif, Razzan évoque le stress que représente le moindre trajet sur les routes de Cisjordanie occupée. Check-points, murs, barbelés, drapeaux israéliens, tours de contrôle, colonies… Tout sur le chemin rappelle l'occupation : « Un État colonial a besoin de s'imposer avec ce type de symboles. De grands drapeaux israéliens, c'est pour dire : "Je suis là !", "C'est à moi !". Ce besoin frénétique de dire "c'est à moi" raconte qu'en fait tu sais que ce n'est pas à toi… » Les blessures invisibles de l'occupation Parce qu'elle est psychologue, Razzan a les moyens de mettre à distance cette pression. Mais tous les Palestiniens n'ont pas cette chance. Dans cette cellule d'écoute psychologique à Bethléem, elle et ses confrères peinent parfois à apaiser la douleur de leurs patients. L'assistante sociale souhaite attirer aujourd'hui l'attention de Razzan sur le cas d'une petite fille de 10 ans qui s'est renfermée sur elle-même depuis peu. « Elle était dans le champ avec sa famille en train de travailler la terre, raconte l'assistante sociale. L'armée israélienne a débarqué. Les soldats ont lancé des gaz lacrymogènes et des grenades assourdissantes et la petite fille a eu peur. Depuis, elle n'accepte de sortir qu'après avoir demandé exactement où va sa famille. Si elle estime qu'ils peuvent tomber sur l'armée, elle ne sort pas, elle reste à la maison. » « L'aspect psychologique est un tribut invisible pour le monde extérieur, ajoute-t-elle. Mais quelqu'un comme notre assistante sociale qui est en poste ici depuis 23 ans est bien placée pour voir à quel point ce phénomène augmente. » Face à ce futur toujours plus angoissant, Razzan Quran applique à elle-même le conseil qu'elle donne à ses patients : tenter autant que possible de se concentrer sur l'instant présent. Une forme de « résistance », dit-elle.

Despite jubilation in Gaza following the ceasefire with Israel, the future of more than two million Palestinians is still far from secure. Talks have kicked off in Egypt to decide a post-war governance plan for Gaza, but Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti will not be among Gaza's transitional leaders. Imprisoned since 2002, he's considered a terrorist by Israel. Christiane speaks with Barghouti's son, Arab, who joins the program from Ramallah.  Also on today's show: Colin Hanks, Director, “John Candy: I Like Me”  Learn more about your ad choices.

The ceasefire in Gaza is just four days old, and already there are signs of tension: Hamas says it's handed over all the hostages remains it can access, without specialist equipment. Israel is restricting aid in retaliation. Meanwhile, Israel returned 120 bodies of Palestinians held during the war, some of which show signs of abuse and beating. And with Hamas reasserting its authority in brutal fashion against ordinary Palestinians there are also growing questions around the future governance of Gaza. Nasser al-Kidwa is a well-known Palestinian politician, nephew of Yasser Arafat and former Foreign Minister for the Palestinian Authority. In recent years he's worked on a peace plan alongside former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Al-Kidwa joins Christiane from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.  Also on today's show: Rebecca Miller, Director, "Mr. Scorsese"; Democratich Senator Mark Warner  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dans le cadre de l'échange des 250 prisonniers palestiniens condamnés à des peines de prison à vie contre les derniers otages détenus par le Hamas ce lundi 13 octobre 2025, de nombreuses familles palestiniennes espéraient retrouver leurs proches avant de découvrir qu'ils avaient été envoyés en Égypte. C'est le cas de cette femme rencontrée à Naplouse, en Cisjordanie, et dont le frère avait été incarcéré en 2006 pour avoir préparé un attentat contre Israël. De notre correspondant de retour de Naplouse, D'abord, la désillusion… Nour a attendu que le dernier des 88 prisonniers libérés ce lundi à Ramallah descende du bus pour comprendre que son frère n'en était pas : « On est restés jusque dans l'après-midi. Tous ceux qui étaient dans les bus sont partis, on est restés encore un peu puis on a abandonné pour rentrer à Naplouse. » Ensuite le soulagement, il serait en route pour l'Égypte, exilé, mais libre : « L'un des prisonniers a appelé sa famille avec le téléphone du chauffeur de leur bus, j'ai appris que mon frère était parmi eux, c'est là que la peur a disparu. » Dans un coin de la pièce, le sac de voyage est prêt. S'il ne peut pas revenir en Palestine, alors elle ira le voir en Égypte. D'ici là, il faut l'appeler comme pour se rassurer à nouveau, rien d'évident après plus de vingt-ans en prison : « Mon fils est resté en ligne avec lui jusqu'à trois heures du matin, pour essayer de lui créer des comptes Facebook et WhatsApp. Le lendemain, on a pu lui parler en appel vidéo. Et hier soir, depuis le dîner jusqu'à deux heures du matin, on était encore avec lui, mon fils, mes enfants qui sont à l'étranger, mon mari et moi. C'était vraiment une belle conversation, chacun parlait un peu à son tour. » À lire aussiGaza: faim, entrave, torture... les otages du Hamas racontent leurs terribles conditions de détention « C'était un déchaînement de violence » Dans une chambre d'hôtel du Caire, c'est un visage émacié, drapeau de la Palestine sur les épaules, qui s'affiche sur l'écran et déroule le récit de sa sortie de prison : « Nous avons été humiliés, c'était un déchaînement de violence, les services de renseignements israéliens nous ont interrogés. Ils nous ont menacés, ils expliquaient qu'ils allaient nous tuer pour tout un tas de raisons incroyables, ou qu'ils nous re-arrêteraient. » Les prisonniers sont finalement embarqués pour un long périple. Par les fenêtres, ils découvrent les destructions de Gaza au moment de passer la frontière avec l'Égypte. C'est seulement là, au point de passage de Rafah, qu'on le libèrera des liens qui ont laissé des plaies à vif sur ses poignets :  « Le pays de mon cœur, c'est la Palestine, et c'est là-bas que j'espérais être libéré, et j'aimerais pouvoir y revenir un jour pour y retrouver ma famille. Mais l'exil reste 10 000 fois plus enviable que la prison. » Plus enviable que la prison, et peut-être moins dangereux qu'un retour en Cisjordanie occupée, voudrait croire Nour : « Nos prisonniers, même libres, restent menacés. Au lendemain des libérations, ils ont fait irruption dans les maisons de certains détenus libérés et ont tout cassé. Mon frère était menacé avant même sa libération, ils lui ont dit que s'il s'écartait des clous, ils allaient le retrouver et qu'ils savaient tout de ses moindres faits et gestes. » Ce harcèlement des anciens prisonniers par les forces israéliennes sont documentées par plusieurs ONG investies dans le soutien juridique des détenus palestiniens dont la plupart, refusent de s'exprimer par peur de représailles.

HEADLINE: Released Palestinian Prisoners and Mideast Instability GUEST NAMES: Ahmad Sharawi, Bill Roggio SUMMARY: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss the risks associated with Israel's release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including senior Hamas, Fatah, and Islamic Jihad figures. They argue these terrorists will likely rejoin militant movements, providing crucial replacement leadership. Concerns are raised about monitoring them, especially those deported to countries like Qatar or Turkey. The conversation also covers stability risks in Syria, particularly regarding ISIS and Turkish intervention. 1950 RAMALLAH

durée : 00:14:51 - Journal de 8 h - Au sixième jour du cessez-le-feu dans la bande de Gaza, les Palestiniens rencontrés par notre envoyée spéciale à Ramallah (Cisjordanie occupée) se sentent oubliés par la communauté internationale et sont inquiets pour l'avenir.

This episode kicks off Across the Divide's Monthly Book Club. Here Jen has a conversation with Rev.

He calls on Christians to repent of their complicity in the destruction of the Palestinian people. And he challenges them to realign their beliefs and actions with Christ—who can be found not among perpetrators of violence, but with victims buried under the rubble of war.”You can purchase the book here: https://www.eerdmans.com/9780802885548/christ-in-the-rubble/Rev.

durée : 00:14:51 - Journal de 8 h - Au sixième jour du cessez-le-feu dans la bande de Gaza, les Palestiniens rencontrés par notre envoyée spéciale à Ramallah (Cisjordanie occupée) se sentent oubliés par la communauté internationale et sont inquiets pour l'avenir.

HEADLINE: Critical Analysis of the Gaza Hostage Exchange and Path to Peace GUEST NAME: John Bolton SUMMARY: The Gaza hostage exchange deal is criticized for lacking a path to the necessary Hamas disarmament, raising doubts about the plan's next stages. The release of 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, many hardened by prison, significantly boosts radicalism. Iran, responsible for arming Hamas, is likely to continue supporting terrorist proxies if it revives its nuclear program. 1938 RAMALLAH

There is much said in this episode that Jason does not agree with but rather than constantly arguing with the guest, Jason is committed to presenting different points of view and tried to err on the side of letting Sam speak so the listener can make up their own mind, especially when contrasting the narrative with the episode with Phil Rosenberg from last week. Sam and Jason discuss the implications of the recently announced and implemented Trump's ‘Eternal Peace' which is really just a Gaza ceasefire in exchange for Israeli hostage releases, the realities of life in the West Bank under Israeli occupation, the economic challenges of reconstruction of Gaza and standing up Palestinian institutions, and the role of the international community states in those state building and reconstruction efforts. Jason and Sam disagree agreeably about the role of the international community and technocratic governments in Palestine and beyond, while Bahour emphasizes the need for Palestinian self-determination and leadership.  And as Sam Orders the Disorder, he highlights how changing dynamics in U.S. support for Israel and Palestine could result in a different dynamic in the Middle East.  Producer: George McDonagh Subscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/ Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow Show Notes Links: Join the Mega Orderers Club via this link: https://disorder.supportingcast.fm/  For more of Sam's writing visit https://epalestine.ps/sambahour/  To Check out our previous episode Commemorating October 7th Part 1: Phil Rosenberg, President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews click here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-146-commemorating-october-7th-part-1-phil-rosenberg/id1706818264?i=1000730501569  Read Jason's piece Internationalize the Solution for Gaza and Iran https://natoandtheged.substack.com/p/internationalize-the-solution-for Read Gazans Are Finished With Hamas https://www.wsj.com/opinion/gazans-are-finished-with-hamas-commander-popular-forces-5d9a6345 Israel is backing a militia known for looting aid in Gaza https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2025/06/09/israel-is-backing-a-militia-known-for-looting-aid-in-gaza_6742148_4.html Learn more about your ad choices.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Palestinians in the occupied West Bank rejoice as buses carrying dozens of released prisoners from Ofer Prison arrive near Ramallah.

Trump's Diplomatic Triumph: Expanding the Middle East Peace Consensus GUEST NAME: Conrad Black Conrad Black discusses the ceasefire deal between Gaza, Hamas, and the Israeli Defense Forces. He praises President Trump for his astute diplomacy in attracting sympathy from Arab states and non-Arab Muslim countries apart from Iran, such as Indonesia and Pakistan. Black considers this the greatest diplomatic success in the Middle East since the establishment of the state of Israel. The consensus, achieved by expanding the negotiating scope, is that established states are preferable to terrorist operations. 1936 RAMALLAH

Italy's Rising Diplomatic Status Amid Economic Headwinds GUEST NAME: Lorenzo Fiori Lorenzo Fiori details Italy's enhanced diplomatic role, noting that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been invited to the Israel-Gaza peace agreement signing. Italian carabinieri are already training local police near the Rafah border. Meloni has friction with French President Macron over migration policy and Africa. Italy's production index has fallen below mid-2021 levels due to weak internal demand and the highest energy costs in Europe. Mr. Trump restored Columbus Day, and AC Milan owner Cardinale received honorary Italian citizenship. 1936 RAMALLAH

Two years after Hamas' October 7 attack and Israel's punishing response, both sides say they accept in principle President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to halt the war and chart a path toward enduring peace. MEI Senior Fellow Lucy Kurtzer-Ellenbogen joins hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj to unpack what's in the plan, how compatible it is with earlier Arab and European proposals, and whether its vague “credible pathway” to Palestinian statehood can withstand politics in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Washington. They also explore the sticking points—Hamas disarmament, Israeli withdrawal, and Palestinian Authority reform—as well as what success would actually look like on the ground. This episode was recorded on October 7, 2025. On October 9, Israel and Hamas reportedly agreed to the first phase of the peace plan. 

Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman Joe Truzman details the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, which center on the release of the remaining 48 hostages (living and deceased) within 72 hours, potentially in exchange for a significant number of Palestinian prisoners, including convicted terrorists. The central obstacle to peace is Hamas's refusal to disarm, viewing it as tantamount to surrendering their identity. Fighting has lessened, with Israel toning down air strikes, possibly to show goodwill to President Trump. Truzman emphasizes that if Hamas retains its arms, another conflict is inevitable. He also notes the rise in reported Hamas plots in Europe, something uncommon historically, indicating the organization may be branching out its operations and feeling emboldened, as seen in the recent deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester. 1950 RAMALLAH

This episode deals extensively with issues of antisemitism, humanitarian suffering in Gaza, and the potentialities of Middle East peace. As we mark 2 years since the horrific October 7th massacre in Israel -- and the disastrous regional wars and tragic humanitarian crisis in Gaza that have ensued in its wake-- we here at Disorder are producing a two-episode series dealing with the legacy of that fateful day: one from a British-Jewish perspective and one from a Palestinian-American perspective.  To start with, we're joined by Phil Rosenberg, President of The Board of Deputies of British Jews. Phil is the highest-ranking communal official representing the Jewish community to the UK government and media. Jason and Phil discuss the ongoing ramifications of the attacks on Jewish life in the UK, the rise of global antisemitism, and the role played by misinformation and conspiracy theories in manipulating public perception of Jews. Plus: is the UK's position on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict a help or a hinderance? And did the mass of Western states recognising a Palestinian state actually move the needle towards a two-state solution or has it just further entrenched the conflict? Join us next week to hear our conversation with Sam Bahour, who will give the perspective from Ramallah.  Producer: George McDonagh Subscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/ Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow Show Notes Links: Join the Mega Orderers Club via this link: https://disorder.supportingcast.fm?sc_promo=DISORDER10 Read a report from Phil's organisation on the Response to 7th October – how the UK Jewish community was impacted. https://www.jpr.org.uk/reports/year-after-october-7-british-jewish-views-israel-antisemitism-and-jewish-life  For more on Trump's Gaza peace initiative: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/world/middleeast/trump-netanyahu-gaza-deal.html  For more on The Board of Deputies of British Jews work to tackle antisemitism visit https://bod.org.uk/bod-news/commission-on-antisemitism/  For a legal and structural argument for why recognition of a Palestinian State will  not help make piece listen to this Call Me Back episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/call-me-back-with-dan-senor/id1539292794?i=1000727804529  Listen to our previous episode with Joseph Uscinski on Conspiracy Theories and their hidden logic: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2nvlI3hR1VFyMbgKaZddyi  Listen to our previous episode on extremism and Conspiracy Theories with Julia Ebner: https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/MjJkNjlmZDItMDExZi0xMWYwLTg4MWUtZGZjZDhiYzFhNTEz Learn more about your ad choices.

Has the techno industry failed Palestine? Sama', the world's most famous Palestinian DJ, talks about Israel's genocide in Gaza and how the music industry—and some of her peers in techno—have failed Palestine. The most deeply divisive topic of the year is undoubtedly Israel's genocide in Gaza. The issue has prompted some artists to step boldly into the political ring and others to shield their professional identities from scrutiny and public discourse, with each camp drawing fierce backlash. After a brief summer hiatus, the RA Exchange returns with a new season, launching with Palestinian DJ Sama' Abdulhadi, who addresses all this and more in a charged interview. The Ramallah-born artist has since gone on to tour non-stop internationally, regularly appearing alongside some of her idols growing up, such as Richie Hawtin and Nicole Moudaber. She's also no stranger to RA: in 2023, she graced the cover of this magazine and, just this summer, contributed to our drop of RA.1000 anniversary mixes. This interview, though, is the most outspoken Abdulhadi has ever been. She shares her take on what's happened since October 7th, including her assessment of how and where the music industry, and her peers, have fallen short; the pressure she feels to be a global spokesperson for Palestine; why she feels that the revolutionary spirit has drained from a subculture built from resistance; and how, despite it all, she retains a sense of optimism and forward momentum.

Prezydent Trump przedstawił 20-punktowy plan zakończenia wojny w Gazie.Zakłada on natychmiastowe przerwanie ognia, wymianę wszystkich zakładników przetrzymywanych przez Hamas na palestyńskich więźniów przetrzymywanych przez Izrael, rozbrojenie Hamasu, stopniowe wycofanie wojsk izraelskich ze Strefy i ustanowienie międzynarodowego zarządu nad Gazą, który pokierowałby jej odbudową i przywracaniem do funkcjonowania.Premier Izraela Beniamin Netanjahu był obecny podczas prezentacji planu i poparł go. Nie ma jak dotąd reakcji Hamasu; prezydent Trump powiedział, że spodziewa się jej w ciągu trzech–czterech dni. Plan wywołuje spore nadzieje i wiele niepewności po obu stronach: w Izraelu nie zadowala on skrajnie prawicowych ministrów w rządzie, a źródła w Hamasie mówią, że jest on zbiorem warunków nie do wypełnienia, a jego celem jest wyeliminowanie tej grupy.W najbliższych dniach będę Państwu opowiadał nie tylko o reakcji na plan Trumpa i o polityce, ale także o życiu Izraelczyków i Palestyńczyków dwa lata po ataku Hamasu 7 października.
