In Episode 10 of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Gordon McCormick unpacks a geopolitical whirlwind. The show opens with Trump's Oval Office confrontation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa over white farmer genocide and the ANC's corruption, including a bold video expose featuring Julius Malema and burial fields. Ghost dives deep into South Africa's post-apartheid politics, the Gupta brothers' corruption network, and Ramaphosa's entanglement in BRICS, Russia, and UAE relations. The episode also spotlights the latest nuclear developments, Trump's executive orders to revive domestic energy and a tense fifth round of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Rome, where uranium enrichment remains the red line. Ghost analyzes the dangerous escalation brewing between Israel and Iran, and Netanyahu's controversial appointment of a “messianic” new Shin Bet chief despite Supreme Court pushback. Add in rumors of drunken North Korean troops in Kursk, their rumored deployment to Burkina Faso, and escalating ICJ proceedings against Israel, and you've got one packed episode. Ghost ties it all together with sharp commentary, mind maps, and historical insight, questioning official narratives and highlighting the overlapping alliances driving the next phase of global realignment.

Alors que la paix entre Palestiniens et Israéliens n'a jamais semblé aussi lointaine, une grappe d'étudiants palestiniens a fait le choix de suivre un cursus d'« études israéliennes ». Au programme : cours d'hébreu, études de grands textes du judaïsme et de la littérature israélienne, histoire et sociologie d'Israël. La prestigieuse université de Birzeit, en bordure de Ramallah, affiche clairement ses objectifs : « Mieux connaître l'occupant » pour mieux le combattre sur le terrain des idées. De notre correspondante à Ramallah,C'est un cours d'hébreu... à la palestinienne. Il démarre par une distribution de baklawas. Grand sourire, une étudiante annonce ses fiançailles tout en promenant un plateau de pâtisseries. Gourmand, Esmat Mansour, le professeur, se sert tout en ne perdant pas de vue ses objectifs pédagogiques : « Mazel tov ! Mazel Tov ! » Les yeux rieurs encadrés de lunettes, il confie à voix basse : « L'hébreu rappelle de mauvais souvenirs aux étudiants. Pour eux, c'est la langue des checkpoints. Alors, j'essaie autant que je le peux de détendre l'atmosphère pendant le cours. Moi, j'adore l'hébreu et mon rôle, c'est de faire aimer cette langue à mes étudiants. Je leur dis souvent qu'en maîtrisant l'hébreu, ils vont gagner en force et en confiance en eux. Si tu ne sais pas t'exprimer en hébreu, les Israéliens te mépriseront. »L'hébreu, le quinquagénaire a eu tout le loisir de l'apprendre en prison où il a passé vingt années de sa vie pour participation au meurtre d'un Israélien établi dans une colonie. Il avait pour camarade de cellule un certain Yahya Sinwar, ancien numéro un du Hamas et instigateur des attaques du 7-Octobre qui ont fait basculer la région dans un chaos dont on ne voit plus la fin.Mais sur ce lourd passé, l'homme préfère se faire discret : « Mes étudiants sont curieux et veulent en savoir plus sur l'expérience de la prison, mais l'université n'est pas le lieu pour le faire. Ici, je ne parle que des bons aspects de la prison. Avoir pu apprendre l'hébreu est l'une de ces bonnes choses. »« C'est normal de vouloir en savoir plus sur les Israéliens »Lui qui dit croire désormais en une « solution politique » au conflit, prodigue la matière phare du cursus : l'hébreu à raison de neuf heures par semaine. Révisions du vocabulaire de base et apprentissage de quelques adages en hébreu, le cours se déroule dans une ambiance bon enfant teintée de salves d'humour noir. Après la lecture d'un texte évoquant la protection de la nature et des animaux, un étudiant lance, cynique : « Ils sont fantastiques, les Israéliens ! Ils font attention à tout, la nature, les animaux ! Sauf à nous ! Nous non, on ne compte pas ! Pourquoi ? Aucune idée ! ». Les rires fusent. « Les plus tragiques des désastres sont ceux qui provoquent des rires », soutient le poète palestinien Mohammed El-Kurd dans son recueil « Rifqa ». Ici, on rit beaucoup. Tout en rondeurs et sourires lui aussi, Rabih Bader, 27 ans, dit vouloir entamer un travail de recherche consacré à ce qu'il appelle la « judaïsation de l'histoire palestinienne » par les Israéliens. Impossible donc de faire l'impasse sur l'hébreu : « C'est normal de vouloir en savoir plus sur les Israéliens. Eux savent tout de nous. Ils ont de très bons départements d'études palestiniennes dans leurs universités. Ils étudient non seulement l'arabe, mais même les différents dialectes palestiniens. Ils sont super spécialisés, à nous d'en faire de même. » Oreilles dressées pour écouter les cours, plusieurs étudiants gardent un œil en permanence sur leurs smartphones. Les dernières informations sont égrenées à haute voix : arrestations, incursions de l'armée israélienne ou rumeurs de fuites de documents au sein du Shin Bet, l'appareil de renseignements israéliens, la salle de classe a aussi des airs de rédaction. On commente, on se perd en conjectures et souvent, on ironise, encore et encore, sur la situation. Un programme lancé il y a dix ansPour accéder à cette rieuse salle de classe, il en aura fallu de la patience. Ici comme dans beaucoup d'endroits de Cisjordanie occupée, la méfiance règne. Avant de nous autoriser à nous mêler à leurs étudiants, les responsables de l'université de Birzeit annoncent avoir fait « leur enquête » sur nous. Un mois et demi d'échanges d'e-mails, de messages WhatsApp, de smileys, de vœux pour l'Aïd, de rencontres et de tractations plus tard, les portes de ce programme académique inédit s'ouvrent enfin à notre micro.Sous un portrait de Shireen Abou Aqleh – ancienne étudiante et professeur à Birzeit, mais surtout journaliste star d'Al Jazeera abattue en plein reportage à Jénine par l'armée israélienne – Najat Abdulhaq, sémillante responsable du département de la communication de l'université explique sa prudence. Smartphone en main, elle montre des photos des différents raids de l'armée israélienne sur le campus. Les dizaines d'étudiants arrêtés, les salles de classes retournées et les drapeaux arrachés l'incitent à la prudence désormais. Dans ce contexte hautement explosif, comment étudier sereinement la société israélienne ? Quand ce programme a été lancé il y a dix ans, un dilemme s'est posé d'emblée : peut-on étudier la société israélienne tout en évitant la « normalisation » ? La solution est vite trouvée. Les seuls Israéliens autorisés à donner cours ici sont des Palestiniens, citoyens d'Israël, comme Areen Hawari, directrice d'un centre de recherches à Haïfa, en Israël. Petite, coupe au carré, elle confie que cette escapade académique hebdomadaire en Cisjordanie occupée est paradoxalement une bouffée d'air pour elle : « Je suis heureuse d'enseigner ici à Birzeit. Je suis palestinienne et cela fait partie de notre projet de libération. Oui, cela fait partie de notre projet de libération de pouvoir produire des études qui soient critiques du colonialisme d'un point de vue académique. Je suis très enthousiaste. » Composant 20% de la population israélienne, les Palestiniens d'Israël sont minoritaires. Présentés comme une cinquième colonne qui menace la sécurité de l'État hébreu, ces professeurs – malgré les checkpoints qu'ils doivent franchir pour venir enseigner en Cisjordanie occupée – trouvent ici paradoxalement un répit de quelques heures dans le climat de suspicion généralisée qui prédomine en Israël. « J'ai un passeport israélien, mais je me sens palestinienne et je porte le poids de la douleur des Palestiniens moi aussi. Notre souhait, c'est qu'Israël ne soit pas un État que pour les juifs, mais pour tous les citoyens. On veut un État démocratique », poursuit Areen Hawari. Combattre la colonisation par les armes du savoirUn département d'études israéliennes peut-il se concevoir sans professeurs israéliens juifs ? Pour Asma, étudiante aussi appliquée qu'impliquée, la question ne se pose pas : « On n'a pas de professeur juif effectivement, mais le problème ce n'est pas la confession en soi. On ne veut pas avoir de profs sionistes. Mais ça n'empêche pas qu'on les lise. On ne peut pas comprendre les Israéliens si on ne lit pas Theodor Herzl et d'autres penseurs du sionisme ». Le sionisme. Le terme revient beaucoup en cours. « Plus de terre, moins d'Arabes », lance une étudiante pour le définir. Une question survient alors : « Peut-on étudier un domaine que l'on n'aime pas ? » Sans circonvolutions, Asma répond avec l'aplomb des punchlines propres à sa génération : « On est un peu comme les médecins qui étudient le cancer. Les médecins n'aiment pas le cancer, mais ils l'étudient pour pouvoir le combattre. » Tous, ici, professeurs comme étudiants, ont l'impression de combattre la colonisation par les armes du savoir. Fondée à l'aube du XXe siècle, l'Université de Birzeit a une longue tradition d'engagement pour la cause palestinienne. Les Français l'ont découverte à la (dé)faveur du déplacement de Lionel Jospin sur le campus le 26 février 2000. Pris à partie par des étudiants scandalisés par ses propos sur le Hezbollah qu'il a qualifié de « terroriste », le Premier ministre français essuie jets de tracts et de pierres. La scène donne des sueurs froides à son personnel de sécurité et vient rappeler combien chaque mot est miné dans cette région du monde. Un programme financé par le Centre arabe de recherche et de sciences politiques de DohaUn quart de siècle plus tard, rien n'a changé. L'Orient reste plus que jamais « compliqué » et suscite l'intérêt redoublé de programmes de recherches du monde entier. À commencer par celui des riches pétromonarchies du Golfe désormais convaincues de la nécessité d'investir dans le savoir en plus de la pierre et des clubs de football européens. La petite trentaine d'étudiants qui suit le programme bénéficient ainsi d'une bourse financée par le Centre arabe de recherche et de sciences politiques de Doha. Un institut dirigé par l'intellectuel palestinien Azmi Bishara également citoyen d'Israël où il fut député. Recherche, journalisme, diplomatie, les secteurs en mesure d'accueillir ces rares étudiants palestiniens connaisseurs en profondeur de la société israélienne sont nombreux et stratégiques.Casquette vissée sur la tête, main qui caresse tantôt un chapelet tantôt une cigarette, Mohanad, le regard clair – lui aussi ancien prisonnier comme 40% des hommes palestiniens et dont le nom sera tu pour des raisons de sécurité – confie pourtant avoir du mal à savoir ce qu'il fera de son diplôme. « Tu sais, nous en Palestine, on ne sait plus se projeter. Là, je suis avec toi, mais demain qui sait où je serai ? J'ai été emprisonné deux fois. Je peux être emprisonné à nouveau à tout moment. Depuis le 7-Octobre, on parle même de nous faire partir d'ici de façon massive. C'est difficile de pouvoir réfléchir à l'avenir ».  « L'impossible futur ; comment la colonisation israélienne sape les rêves d'avenir de la jeunesse palestinienne ». Un thème de recherche académique en soi…

We've got special edition T-shirts in the Unholy Store! https://bit.ly/UnholyStore As literal winds of fire sweep across Israel, the country marks its 77th Independence Day. But even in a week that should have offered unity and reflection, the political winds howled as well: a public clash between the head of the Shin Bet and the prime minister came to a head, and internal divisions between left and right spilled over—alarmingly—into acts of violence, even amid the solemnity of Memorial Day.Looking for a note of hope as Israel enters its 78th year, we turned to Eyal Waldman—tech visionary, founder of the Mellanox company which sold to Nvidia for $6.9 billion, and, more recently, a father in mourning. His daughter, Danielle, was murdered at the Nova music festival on October 7th. Eyal speaks candidly about grief, Israel's fracturing political landscape, whether he sees a role for himself in public life—and about the perils and promise of artificial intelligence.And in a special moment: a cameo from the remarkable Emily Damari, who offers a few heartfelt words to our listeners - and a reminder of what binds us.  Unholy is going live in London!Join Yonit Levi and Jonathan Freedland for a special night of news and surprises—live on stage, June 8th 2025.

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. Legal correspondent Jeremy Sharon and environmental reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following Israel's procedural victory at the International Criminal Court, in which the Jewish state argued it could challenge the court's jurisdiction to try Israeli citizens for war crimes, Sharon examines the basis for the jurisdiction reasoning and what it could mean going forward regarding the arrest warrants issued last year for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. Sharon also discusses the potential for a constitutional crisis following the allegations made in writing to the High Court by Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar against Netanyahu. Now that Bar has backed up his initial claims with documentation and evidence in his affidavit to the High Court, Sharon says it will be far harder for the court to avoid ruling on the substantive issues of the case, potentially bringing the government and judiciary into direct conflict. A highly unusual shark attack in which an Israeli man was mauled to death brought visitors to the beach where it happened, reports Surkes, despite police attempts to keep people away. Surkes discusses the environmental changes that have affected shark behavior along the Israeli coast. Surkes also discusses her visit to the southern city of Ofakim and the neighborhood that was most heavily attacked on October 7, 2023, and how the small city has reacted, with community efforts to draw together in healing and unity.

On this week's episode of The Jerusalem Post Podcast, Tamar Uriel-Beeri and Eve Young discuss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar's 11-page affidavit. Later, Zvika Klein interviews Yad Vashem chairman Dani Dayan, where the two discussed the key differences between the Holocaust and the October 7 massacre.

This episode is sponsored by HOLY CHUTZPAH https://holy-chutzpah.com/ *** It's been three weeks since Israel resumed its ground operations in Gaza—but the mission still feels undefined. Fifty-nine hostages remain in Hamas captivity, and while the IDF maneuvers cautiously on the ground, the sense that we're holding back our full strength lingers. At the same time, Trump is warning of an imminent strike on Iran, raising the specter of regional escalation. Domestically, chaos reigns. The government is in crisis over allegations that senior Netanyahu aides advanced Qatari interests. The Prime Minister's attempt to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar has been blocked by the Supreme Court—an unprecedented move that could trigger a constitutional showdown. And just yesterday, a leaked recording of the Shin Bet's head of the Jewish department revealed him boasting about arresting settlers without any evidence. In a moment where everything feels fragile—national unity, legal order, deterrence—we're left asking: where is this all headed? To help us think through these turbulent times, we're joined by Dr. Ronen Shoval—a political philosopher, public intellectual, and longtime activist in Israel's ideological landscape. He's the Dean of the Tikvah Fund and founder of the Argaman Institute for Conservative Thought. He co-founded the influential “Im Tirtzu” movement, has taught at Princeton University, and is the author of Holiness and Society, a groundbreaking new book exploring the political theology of the Bible and its relevance to modern politics. Today, we turn to him to unpack the crisis, the philosophy behind it, and what might come next.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol and archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Sokol delves into comments made by leaders of the Knesset’s opposition parties, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of placing Israel in existential danger, after Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar alleged that the premier demanded his loyalty. Sokol notes that the opposition is exploring legal avenues against Netanyahu's actions, as political rhetoric in Israel becomes increasingly heated. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich made it clear in an interview Monday morning that the hostages are not the priority of the government, which Sokol calls a clarifying statement of the coalition government, bringing tremendous criticism from hostage families and one ultra-Orthodox member of the coalition. Following the death of Pope Francis, Tercatin shares insights on the Jewish community in Rome, its relationship with the late pope and the community's deep historical connection to the Vatican. She also reports on archaeological findings related to the production of biblical purple dye, confirming an industrial-scale production of purple dye that took place in the region several thousand years ago.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement Saturday night detailing his refusal to negotiate a deal that ends the war to free the hostages, Horovitz discusses the anguish of the hostage families and their growing concern over the government's plans. He explores the prime minister's stance on the war with Hamas as well as Netanyahu's detailed reasoning amid the growing skepticism and dismay about Netanyahu's motivations regarding the war. As the US and Iran head into more nuclear talks on Wednesday, following another round in Italy on Saturday, Horovitz considers the implications of the talks, and the role of special envoy Steve Witkoff in the negotiations, and the concerns about Israel's security. Finally, Horovitz takes a brief look at the latest spat in Qatargate, as lawyers for the one of the main suspects goes up against a spokesperson for the prime minister, and how the entire scandal connects back to the forced resignation of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.

Part I: Can the government fire the head of Shin Bet? You bet! Says Simcha RothmanApologies for the gap in podcast posts, but this coming week your cup will runneth over. Lots of great stuff coming your way. And we begin with this fiery discussion with Religious Zionist MK Simcha Rothman. I spoke to him on Sunday, April 6, just after the government had fired Shin Bet Head Ronen Bar and two days before the appeal of his firing was being heard in the Israeli Supreme Court. Rothman sees this latest clash as yet another manifestation of the leftist deep state undermining the will of the people, as expressed by the democratically elected government. Any criticism of the termination of Ronen Bar is manufactured and disingenuous rage, in his view. Listen and decide. We get into the weeds on the recent revival of judicial reform efforts and the dramatic fallout from the firing of Ronen Bar and also discuss his position regarding the renewed fighting in Gaza and the issue of negotiating for the return of the hostages languishing in Hamas hell. Simcha is fascinating and a very influential political player in Israel. It is important to listen carefully. In a few hours we will post the second part of this podcast—in which I discuss the same issues with Amir Tibon, a writer and journalist who sees things very differently from Simcha Rothman. I thought it important to present both sides. I'd love to hear your feedback.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

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. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following a phone meeting of the security cabinet, Berman discusses that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar was involved in the conversation that included Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite efforts to fire the Shin Bet chief. Hamas officials have said they will not accept any partial deals and still demand an end to the war, with some of the terrorist group's reactions appearing to react to protests in Israeli society, says Berman. He also speaks about criticism regarding top hostage negotiator Ron Dermer, with remarks from both the Qataris and hostage families about Dermer, a close advisor to Netanyahu. With the latest headlines about ongoing talks between Iran and the US, Berman expresses concern about Israel's position. He discusses chief negotiator Steve Witkoff, who doesn't have much background in Iran or the nuclear program but has Trump's ear and is a skilled negotiator. Berman notes that Netanyahu can't undermine Trump in this potential Iran deal, but the final result may not be as good for Israel. Please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog for more updates.

Israel's High Court of Justice issued an interim order this week freezing the government decision to dismiss Shin Bet director Ronen Bar, and gave the sides until April 20 to try to reach a compromise.

This week on The Jerusalem Post Podcast, Eve Young and Eliav Breuer talk about US President Donald Trump's tariff rollercoaster, Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu's visits to Hungary and the US, the High Court of Justice's injunction on the firing Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, and a looming potential constitutional crisis with the return of the judicial reform.In the second part, Tamar Uriel-Beeri interviews Prof. Shimon Shetreet, a legal expert who was a minister in Yitzhak Rabin's government, to expand on the issues and divisiveness of the judicial reform (or "revolution," as he refers to it), and the socio-political implications it has for Israel.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, most tariff coverage reflects the views of Washington, D.C., or New York, overlooking fishermen, ranchers, and farmers who applaud the tariffs—a clear sign of the media's government and urban bias. Trump's talent as a dealmaker is perpetually underestimated. Additionally, it's fortunate that four Supreme Court justices remain steadfast. No delegate or ratifier of the Constitution would have endorsed a document allowing a single judge, like Judge Boasberg, to wield power in such a manner. Also, the Israeli Supreme Court decided to freeze the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar until further notice. This court is disregarding the sovereignty of the people, using Stalinist tactics to undermine the elected Prime Minister, and being supported by Marxist-Islamist protesters and a radical media, all while posing as justices. This is a global embarrassment. Later, Retired Police Lieutenant Douglas Deaton calls in to explain that he warned Texas officials about the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) establishing a Sharia-compliant "mega-city" near Dallas. His testimony during a Collin County Commissioners Court hearing exposed EPIC's ties to Sharia advocacy, prompting Texas Governor Greg Abbott to order state investigations, including a Texas Rangers criminal probe. Afterward, Iran's fanatical fundamentalist Islamists have threatened our country with death again and again. Those who appease Iran, smear those who are clearheaded about Iran, and lie to the American people about what is truly at stake are the worst kind of demagogues -- mouthpieces for an enemy that has declared its intentions. Iran's leaders are the warmongers and those who lie for them are warmongers as well. Finally, Douglas Murray calls in to discuss his new book: On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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. Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The High Court of Justice issued an interim injunction on Tuesday stating that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar must remain in office until further notice and giving the government and the attorney general until April 20 to reach a compromise over the legal dispute surrounding the unprecedented vote last month to fire him. Sharon sets the scene in -- and out -- of the courtroom yesterday. Thirty-one percent of Israelis, including 36% of Jews, believe the government should disregard the High Court of Justice if it reverses the dismissal of Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, according to a poll published by the Israel Democracy Institute on Tuesday. In light of this dangerous moment, Justice Noam Sohlberg, despite his skepticism of the government’s position, was the first to suggest a compromise, proposing the government and the attorney general refer the matter to the advisory committee. Sharon explains. And finally, Sharon brings us a story about how Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Settlements and National Missions Minister Orit Strock participated in a ceremony last week in which 19 all-terrain vehicles paid for with state funds were granted to illegal settlement farming outposts in the South Hebron Hills region, for "security purposes."

Despite Bar taking responsibility for the October 7th intelligence failure, judges ruled he must remain in his position, prohibiting the government from even announcing a replacement. Meanwhile, Hamas launched its largest rocket barrage in months from Gaza, injuring Israelis and prompting a forceful IDF response.

France's president is jetting from Cairo to the Sinai, near the border with Gaza, to show that Europe has not forgotten the plight of Palestinians who are back under daily bombardment since the collapse of last month's ceasefire with Israel. But was there perhaps a more subtle message for Benjamin Netanyahu? The visit is taking place the same day that Israel's Supreme Court rules whether the prime minister unfairly wants to dismiss the head of the Shin Bet intelligence service. The service just happened to have launched a probe into two of Netanyahu's media advisors allegedly being on the take from Qatar. Are the pair behind a disinformation campaign against Egypt, with false claims of a troop buildup at the Gaza border? Either way, France's president stands by Egypt.Just 24 hours ago, we would have been asking why Netanyahu should care what Macron thinks, as long as Donald Trump has his back. But that was before an awkward visit by Netanyahu to the White House late on Monday. Did the US president catch his guest off guard when he announced the reopening of talks with Iran or praised Turkey? And what about that phone call Trump had before meeting Netanyahu with a certain Emmanuel Macron?Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Ilayda Habip and Oihana Almandoz.

Support the podcast! Buy us a coffee☕: https://buymeacoffee.com/2njb *** Not long ago, the biggest story in Israel was the tidal wave of protests against the government's proposed judicial reforms. Week after week, hundreds of thousands flooded the streets, warning that the very foundations of Israeli democracy were under threat. The demonstrations reflected a moment of bitter internal division. Then came October 7th—and everything changed. The country shifted overnight from bitter internal division to all-out war. But while the fighting continues and the hostages remain in Gaza, the internal battles are slowly resurfacing—this time, with even higher stakes. In the latest twist, Prime Minister Netanyahu fired Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Now, he's in the process of interviewing replacements. By law, the Prime Minister can fire the head of the Shin Bet with the government's approval—but that hasn't stopped the Attorney General and the Supreme Court from stepping in with objections. For many Israelis, this isn't just a legal question—it's a test of who really holds power in the country. And for those who watched the judicial reform protests with concern, it's a reminder that the battle over Israel's institutions is far from over. To help us unpack all of this, we're joined by Professor Talia Einhorn—a leading expert on Israeli constitutional law. She's a member of the Advisory Committee on Senior Civil Service Appointments and a titular member of the International Academy of Comparative Law. She's held academic posts at Ariel University, Tel Aviv University, and institutions around the world, and she holds many other distinctions in the legal field. Today, she's here to walk us through the legal drama, the deeper power struggle, and what it all means for Israel's future. We're thrilled to be joined today by professor Talia Einhorn.

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 reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Saudi Al-Hadath channel reports that the US has transferred a second THAAD battery to Israel amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear program. The battery was apparently delivered yesterday.We hear what the THAAD, or Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System, is an advanced anti-missile system, has recently been used for. Yesterday, Hamas released a propaganda video that shows hostages Bar Kupershtein and Maxim Herkin, in the first sign of life from both of them since they were abducted by terrorists on October 7, 2023. We hear the broad-strokes contents of the video. The IDF has detailed the initial findings from its investigation into the killing of 14 rescue workers in southern Gaza’s Rafah on March 23, when soldiers opened fire on a convoy of ambulances after mistakenly identifying it as a threat and buried their bodies. Fabian explains the findings, and highlights still unanswered questions. The IDF released footage from the entry of the 36th Division into the so-called Morag Corridor, located between southern Gaza’s Rafah and Khan Younis, last week. It marks the first time since the beginning of the war that ground troops are operating in the area. On Thursday, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin told reporters that the IDF has entered a “new phase” in its fighting. What is this new phase that Defrin is referring to? Hassan Farhat, who had headed Hamas’s forces in the western sector of Lebanon, was killed in an airstrike on an apartment building in Sidon. Likewise, the IDF and Shin Bet on Friday said a terror operative who oversaw the kidnapping and likely was also involved in the murder of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza. We learn about these two Hamas terrorists and Fabian connects the Sidon strike to an earlier strike on a Hezbollah operative in Beirut. Please see today's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

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

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to remove senior government officials, including the head of the Shin Bet internal intelligence agency as well as the attorney general. Intense protests have erupted once again in Israel, as critics accuse the prime minister's actions of being politically motivated and of breaking the ceasefire with Hamas to stay in power. What does this increasing political pressure mean for Israel's war on Gaza?

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. Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon and archaeological and religions reporter Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's Daily Briefing. Following the cabinet decision to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, various opposition political parties and legal organizations filed petitions against the decision in Israel's High Court. Sharon discusses the government's response to the petitions and its stance that the court should not interfere in the decision to fire Bar. Sharon also reviews Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's reaction to the government decision and her view that the firing will have implications for the functioning of law enforcement and the Shin Bet in the future. The Shin Bet is also conducting a covert probe into the possible infiltration of extreme-right elements into the Israel Police and Sharon discusses the existence of Kahanist elements in National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's party that led to the probe. Tercatin looks at a recent archaeological discovery that grapevines and olive trees may have once grown on the land under the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, with evidence being uncovered of agricultural tools, pottery, and new technologies that can research pollen remains and seeds that relate to the time of Jesus. She also discusses a poll of high school teens from religous Zionist high schools regarding sexual activity, leading to the researcher's determination that there's a need for more openly discussing sex with religious teens.

All of this is against the backdrop of domestic political tensions reaching a boiling point over the Government's efforts to remove the head of the Shin Bet and the Attorney General. Our guest is Seth Frantzman, who joins us from Jerusalem.

We recorded an emergency episode as fighting resumes against Hamas in Gaza, ending a cease-fire that lasted 57 days; as military operations escalate between the U.S. and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen; and as Prime Minister Netanyahu moves to fire Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet security agency.

In this week's episode, we discuss the JFK assassination, deportations, DOGE, Tesla, anarchists, flu, measles, vaccines, and crunchy Moms. What do we make of the 80,000 pages of JFK files that were released yesterday? Are immigrants who are in the U.S. legally protected by the Constitution? What are they allowed to say, or think? Does anger at Elon Musk and DOGE explain the left going after Teslas? Or maybe it's not the left at all, but anarchists. What's up with flu this year, and should you get a flu shot? How about a measles vaccine? Did the measles vaccine contribute to the drop in measles deaths in the U.S.? And why are mothers who are concerned for the health and well-being of their children rejecting the advice of experts?*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 10% off your first order.Helix: Excellent, sleep-enhancing, American-made mattresses.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University terrorist sympathizer, was detained by federal immigration officials. However, an Obama-appointed judge stepped in to rescue this non-student, green-card-holding activist, who supports overseas terrorist organizations and shouldn't even be on Columbia's campus—or in the U.S.—given his actions and affiliations. Khalil leads Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD), a radical group that backs terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.  The House passed a continuing resolution that proposes slashing non-defense spending by $13 billion while aiming to avert a government shutdown. Representative Thomas Massie voted against it, he should recognize the importance of prudence in deciding when to vote "yes" or "no." The bill has advanced to the Senate, where Sen Lisa Murkowski will most likely oppose it, most likely due to her ties to the teachers' union.  Federal Democrat judges are out of control, and we are living under a judicial tyranny where they are creating their own power. Judge Beryl Howell blocked what was deemed an 'unlawful' President Trump order that targeted a law firm that had represented the Hillary Clinton campaign. The Judge does not actually possess the authority to make such a ruling.  Also, Israel is facing an attempted coup by its deep state with the former head of Shin Bet threatening to expose private information about Benjamin Netanyahu if he fires the current Shin Bet chief, Ronen Bar, over Bar's failure to prevent the October 7 Hamas attack. There's coordination between deep state operatives and left-wing media to undermine Netanyahu's democratically elected government. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Chuck Schumer reverses course in the face of massive public condemnation and says he will not vote for a government shutdown. Now, all those Senate Democrats who said they must shutdown the government to save the government, and all the House Democrats who actually voted against the bill, look as pathetic and dishonest as they come. A complete political and PR disaster, and deservedly so. This 11th hour, sudden course reversal fools no one. The Democrat leadership and their lapdogs were against the bill, then for the bill, and now they're all over the place. Also, Israel is facing an attempted coup by its deep state with the former head of Shin Bet threatening to expose private information about Benjamin Netanyahu if he fires the current Shin Bet chief, Ronen Bar, over Bar's failure to prevent the October 7 Hamas attack. There's coordination between deep state operatives and left-wing media to undermine Netanyahu's democratically elected government. Later, Jewish Voice for Peace protestors reportedly flooded into Trump Tower, which the media are calling a Jewish group, is a horrendous anti-Jewish organization. The notoriously antisemitic and anti-Israel Jewish Voice for Peace is a radical left/Marxist organization that seeks the elimination of the state of Israel and is a major force behind the BDS movement. It has received funding from, among others, George Soros. Today, it is insisting on the return of the alien who was among the leaders of the riotous events at Columbia University on behalf of Hamas.  Alan Dershowitz calls in to discuss Jewish Voice for Peace's ties to anti-Zionism and terrorism and the radicalization of Mahmoud Khalil. Finally, a judge has ruled that thousands of fired federal workers must be immediately rehired. Professor John Yoo calls in to explain that this ruling constitutes an unwarranted and illegal overreach by the judge. The judge lacks the authority to instruct the government on how to manage its personnel.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
