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. Israel announced Monday morning that it would renew strikes on Hezbollah’s stronghold in southern Beirut, after significantly curtailing attacks on the Lebanese capital for weeks at the request of US President Donald Trump’s administration. The joint statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz came as Israel has steadily expanded its ground offensive by capturing more areas in southern Lebanon, including the iconic Beaufort Castle, amid constant Hezbollah drone and rocket attacks on northern Israel and on IDF troops in Lebanon. We delve into what is actually happening on the ground -- and air -- during this "ceasefire" in Lebanon. Yesterday evening, two teenage girls were injured, including one seriously, in a car-ramming terror attack in the West Bank just outside of Jerusalem, with the attacker shot dead by IDF troops at the scene. Fabian fills us in. Netanyahu said Thursday that he ordered the IDF to take control of 70 percent of the Gaza Strip – well beyond the portion of the enclave that Jerusalem was allowed to temporarily continue occupying as part of an October 2025 ceasefire deal with Hamas. We discuss what this new directive means in practice and explore what the IDF is currently doing in the Strip. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Hosted by Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training at GEAPS, this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast explores how military experience translates into meaningful careers in the grain handling and processing industry.A lot of veterans don't struggle with work ethic—they struggle with direction. When the uniform comes off, the mission and the built-in team can disappear overnight. That's why this conversation resonates so strongly.Jim sits down with veterans Bishop Chamberlin and Justin Leach of The DeLong Co., Inc. to discuss how the grain industry can turn “I just need a job” into a career built around community, growth, leadership, and real public impact.Together, they explore the practical reasons veterans fit grain operations so well: long hours, high standards, safety-first thinking, teamwork, adaptability, and constant problem solving when equipment, logistics, or plans suddenly change. Bishop shares how his military background in construction, logistics, and leadership translates directly into agricultural exports and terminal operations, while Justin discusses the leadership habits that matter most on civilian teams—staying level-headed, developing people, and building trust quickly.The conversation also dives into veteran advocacy and support systems that truly make a difference. Bishop explains the creation of The DeLong Company's Military Veterans Resource Group and why veterans often need a “team within a team” as they transition into civilian careers. The discussion also highlights how small improvements in recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and mentorship can improve retention and long-term success for veterans, National Guard members, and Reservists.Finally, the episode shares the origin story behind the new GEAPS Military Discount Program, which provides 50% off GEAPS online learning opportunities for veterans and active-duty military personnel. The group discusses how reducing financial barriers can help veterans pursue credentials like the CGOM and stand out in a rapidly evolving industry.If you care about workforce development, veteran careers, leadership, and the future of agriculture logistics, this is a conversation worth sharing.Subscribe to the Whole Grain Podcast, share this episode with a veteran or hiring manager, and leave a review to help more people discover opportunities in the grain industry.Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Picture a potential future armed conflict: missiles and drones crowding the skies, uncrewed vehicles rolling across borders, and governments scrambling to coordinate their defences. Their conclusion: Every citizen is needed. Some collect and relay information about the approaching enemy into an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that supports military decision-making. Reservists join the ranks of the armed forces. Computer experts choose to contribute by conducting cyber operations aimed at disrupting military operations, sowing chaos among the civilian population, and harming the enemy's economy. As the militaries on both sides rely heavily on digital communication, connectivity, and AI, the armed forces call on tech companies to provide cybersecurity services, computing power and digital communication networks. In this post, Tilman Rodenhäuser, Samit D'Cunha, and Laurent Gisel from the ICRC, Anna Rosalie Greipl from the Academy, and Professor Marco Roscini from the University of Westminster (and former Swiss IHL Chair at the Geneva Academy) present five key risks for civilians, along with the obligations of both civilians and states, related to the involvement of civilians in information and communication technology (ICT) activities in armed conflict.

IDF reservists are calling for the government to carry through with the law and conscript the tens of thousands of ultra orthodox yeshiva students into military service in order to share the burden. Yisrael Ben-Shetreet, a reserve IDF captain and member of the Reservists Movement said he had great sorrow haredi young men were against being drafted. In an interview with Arieh O’Sullivan, he said most want to serve but are being held back their leaders and the current government coalition and that has to change.

A new poll finds that two-thirds of Israelis say the time has come to end the war in Gaza. It's the highest number since the beginning of the war nearly two years ago. That divide in Israeli society is reflected inside its military. Some reservists say the war must be fought and won, and others are refusing to serve. Nick Schifrin reports.

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 and political correspondent Sam Sokol join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Two Israeli officials said yesterday that Jerusalem is studying the proposal for a phased hostage-ceasefire deal that Hamas on Sunday said it had agreed to. This comes as Defense Minister Israel Katz approved the army’s plans for the takeover of Gaza City yesterday. The plans are set to be presented to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tomorrow, but in the meantime, we hear about the call-up of some 60,000 Israeli reservists and other aspects of Operation Gideon’s Chariots, B. A group of settler activists, including young children, crossed the border into Syria on Monday in an attempt to establish a new settlement in land currently held by the Israel Defense Forces. The military said troops were dispatched to the scene, across from the border town of Alonei Habashan, after several civilian vehicles were seen crossing into Syria. Fabian fills us in. Last night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government voted to approve a NIS 31 billion ($9 billion) increase to the 2025 state budget — NIS 1.6 billion ($473 million) of which will go toward humanitarian aid for Gaza. The money earmarked for humanitarian aid has angered some members of Netanyahu’s cabinet as well as opposition figures like Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman. Will the Knesset ratify these additions? Ultra-Orthodox leaders have called for an international day of prayer and fasting on Thursday in response to recent government efforts to conscript ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students and arrest those who ignore government orders to enlist. Sokol gives background to the "war" the Haredim have declared on the draft issue and previews what we should expect to see tomorrow. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

These three soldiers have been in reserve duty more than not these past 22 months, in combat on multiple fronts against a physical enemy. But they also speak about the war against truth. They speak about what support means from people around the world in terms of providing encouragement and protection of their souls.

The ongoing war has taken an emotional and mental toll on IDF reservists and their families. Raziel Baraby, an entrepreneur and engineer in his civilian life and a reserve major in the Givati reconnaissance unit in his military role, realized during his experience as a commander on the battlefield that his responsibilities to his soldiers extend also to providing them with tools to build resilience. He founded the "War4Soul," forum, comprised of IDF reservists, working to provide effective trauma treatment for reservists, and build national resilience programs. He spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal. (Courtesy) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tens of thousands of Israelis have done hundreds of days of reserves since the war began, and they are still being called up. But reservists are protesting for the government to carry through with the law and conscript the tens of thousands of ultra orthodox yeshiva students into military service in order to share the burden. Zevik Ben Shahar, the head of the Jerusalem Chapter of the Reservists Movement said that the ultra orthodox community’s refusal to serve “makes me sick.” In an interview with Arieh O’Sullivan, they have reached out to the haredi community and said that most want to serve but are being held back their leaders and the current government coalition.

The U.S. House of Representatives considers H.R.828, the Successful Entrepreneurship for Reservists and Veterans Act, on February 26, 2025. The bipartisan bill, also known as the SERV Act, aims to help veteran small business owners. It is led by Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kansas), a citizen of the Ho-Chunk Nation and the only Native woman serving in the U.S. Congress. "Veterans have the skills and dedication to build successful small businesses, but they need better support when transitioning from service to entrepreneurship," said Davids. "As the daughter of a veteran, I've seen firsthand the commitment and resilience they bring to everything they do. I'm proud to work across party lines to ensure veterans can access the resources they deserve and overcome the challenges that stand in their way." According to Davids, the SERV Act: * Commissions a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on the ability of veteran and reservist small business owners to access credit. This includes a new analysis on common sources of credit and how deployment and other military responsibilities affect veterans' and reservists' credit. * Requires the U.S. Small Business Administration's Interagency Task Force on Veterans Small Business Development to develop an action plan for outreach and promotion of the many programs available to veterans looking to transition into the business world. * Requires the task force to report annually to Congress on its appointments and outline its plan for outreach on the many programs available to veterans, service-disabled veterans, reservists, and their spouses. The House passed the bill under a suspension of the rules. The procedure is typically used for bills with widespread support.

A few months ago, Captain Toti began a Christian ministry for active duty, reservists, and veterans locally in Brevard County, Florida. He started this ministry because he saw a need in the local veteran community. It meets every Monday night at the Church at Viera in Viera, Florida. Interested active duty, reservists, veterans, and their spouses can register at https://churchatviera.com/military.

Some 64 percent of IDF reservists and immediate family members say that the burden of reserves on them is heavy, with personal and family hardship outweighing emotional difficulty, according to an October poll commissioned by the Israel Hofsheet NGO. The survey also found that as the war continues and reserve service lengthens, an increasing percentage of respondents say that passage of a law that would exempt haredi Orthodox from military service would harm their own personal motivation to do reserve duty. Uri Keidar, Executive Director of Israel Hofsheet spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal. (Photo: IDF Spokesperson's Unit) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol joins host Jessica Steinberg on today's episode. Sokol discusses the fiery start of the Knesset fall session this week, as young women dressed to resemble hostage Naama Levy and her bloodstained clothing and hands when she was taken captive on October 7, were in attendance at the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality, along with many members of hostage families. He reports on the fierce arguments in the Knesset plenum, as opposition leader Yair Lapid took Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to task, and a screaming match between several lawmakers before a vote on a bill that would allow the government to deport the family members of terrorists who are Israeli citizens.  Sokol also reviews the Knesset vote on the UNRWA bill that would bar the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees and their descendants from operating in Israel, and a bill barring new foreign consulates in Jerusalem, also aimed at preventing consular offices that serve Palestinians. Finally, Sokol turns to the draft law, and how one ultra-Orthodox party backed down from its threat to overthrow the budget over the IDF exemption bill.

Discussed articles include: With blood-red hands, Gaza hostage supporters make their mark on the opening of Knesset Following stormy debate, lawmakers advance measure to deport terrorists' relatives Knesset approves laws barring UNRWA from Israel, limiting it in Gaza and West Bank Knesset passes law banning establishment of new foreign consulates in Jerusalem Ministers back bill denying the PA a path to petition the High Court of Justice Ultra-Orthodox party backs down from threat to tank budget over IDF exemption bill Netanyahu says Israel's strikes on Iran destroyed ‘industrial factories of death' Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Justin Fanelli, the first ever Acting Chief Technology Office (CTO) for the Department of the Navy, joins host Marshall Kosloff to explain why public and private partnerships should be cornerstone of America's defense innovation strategy. Finalli is striving to radically adopt innovation to disrupt and bolster our future defense capabilities, and with battlefield-defining technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum on the horizon, he argues that not only will private sector competition create better solutions but those solutions will pay dividends in sectors far beyond defense.  Show Notes:Accelerating Change Design Conceptshttps://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=16683https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=16716https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=17883https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=16804 Atlantic Council Report: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/programs/scowcroft-center-for-strategy-and-security/forward-defense/defense-innovation-adoption-commission/Innovation Adoption Kit: https://www.peodigital.navy.mil/Portals/96/Documents/PDFs/PEODigital_Innovation_Adoption_v3.pdf Jobs STEM talent: https://noblereachfoundation.org/talent-opportunities/scholars-program/Direct employment: https://www.usajobs.gov/Reservists: https://www.marforres.marines.mil/MIU/ and https://gigeagle.mil/ 

Joining me today is independent investigative journalist, Vanessa Beeley, here to discuss the growing world-war dynamic in the Middle East and the ongoing genocide in Gaza that is now being recreated in Lebanon with little to no push back by the supposed "rules-based international order". We also discuss how the global technocratic elitists are using Gaza as a testbed for artificial intelligence -- fine tuning for future military use on a mass scale, as well as domestic control structures -- and how the rising global resistance is not just about the future of Gaza, but the future of us all.  !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2q643"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");   Rumble("play", {"video":"v5gybf1","div":"rumble_v5gybf1"}); Source Links: (21) vanessa beeley/UK Column (@VanessaBeeley) / X (43) vanessa beeley/UK Column on X: "The #Zionist machine is a soulless entity.

Israel has formed an emergency government and war cabinet after Hamas' surprise attacks that have killed at least 1,200 people and injured thousands more. An IDF spokesperson said Wednesday that 300,000 reservists were “close to the Gaza strip.” On Saturday, Hamas fighters killed Anat Moshe Shoshany's grandfather and kidnapped her 72-year old grandmother. The only proof of life her family has seen is a video a friend found on social media that shows her grandmother on a motorcycle with the Hamas militants driving through Gaza City. She tells Anderson Cooper she hasn't heard from her grandmother and says her family is praying she's safe. Plus, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren joins AC360 to discuss the difficulty of bringing the hostages in Gaza back home safely.
