In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: A leaked document from inside Russia's own Defense Ministry reveals staggering battlefield losses in Ukraine and raises new questions about Moscow's ability to sustain the war. President Trump says he's “sort of made a decision” on supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine—even as the Kremlin ramps up its warnings and threatens retaliation if the plan moves forward. Israel's Shin Bet says it has foiled an Iranian weapons smuggling plot into the West Bank—the latest sign of Tehran's continued efforts to arm and fund anti-Israel militants. And in today's Back of the Brief—a Florida man is arrested for allegedly starting California's deadly Palisades Fire, which killed twelve people earlier this year.

It has been almost two years since Hamas's October 7 attacks on Israel and the start of the war in Gaza. Those many months of combat have left Hamas severely weakened, with its leadership eviscerated and its military capabilities crippled. But as the war enters a new phase, with Israeli troops pushing into Gaza City, the central question of the war's endgame remains unsettled. Israeli leaders have consistently refused to offer a clear vision for the war's aftermath, for what happens on “the day after.” According to Ami Ayalon, that failure has been disastrous, for Palestinians as well as for Israelis. It is a recipe for conflict grinding on indefinitely, along with the attendant bloodshed and ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. Ayalon was the commander of the Israeli Navy and the head of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency. As he sees it, Israel's long-term security depends on recognizing the rights and aspirations of Palestinians, and the creation of a Palestinian state—one that includes both Gaza and the West Bank. Ayalon joined Senior Editor Eve Fairbanks to reflect on the strategic errors that led to this point and how the world can reckon with those missteps to find a better path forward for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Nearly two decades after Israel withdrew from Gaza, dismantling settlements and military posts under Ariel Sharon's leadership, the Israeli government has now approved a plan to take over the Palestinian enclave again, following 22 months of its war there. What began as speculation this week quickly became official policy after a 10-hour security cabinet meeting, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gained approval to take full control of northern Gaza. The plan includes displacing up to a million people and reshaping governance in the strip under an as yet undefined “civilian authority”. Mr Netanyahu claims this move will restore Israel's security and free Gazans from Hamas rule. But critics, including top military officials and former security leaders, warn this could destroy prospects for a ceasefire, worsen the humanitarian catastrophe and endanger remaining hostages. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher speaks to two Israeli figures on opposite sides of the debate: Yossi Kuperwasser, head of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security think tank and former head of the research division in the Israeli military intelligence; and Ami Ayalon, a former commander of the Israeli Navy and former director of the Israel security agency Shin Bet. One defends reoccupation as a necessary strategy, the other calls it a dangerous step that could cost Israel its identity, security and future.

Volgens hem heeft de Europese Unie nu flinke hervormingen nodig. 'We zijn na 1990 stil blijven staan.' Keller wijst daarbij ook op de afnemende economische groei ten opzichte van Amerika. 'De Amerikaanse economie groeit drie keer zo snel. We zijn veel te verbrokkeld in Europa.’ Daarbij verwijst Keller naar de rapporten van de Italiaanse oud-premiers Draghi en Letta. Het grootste probleem zit hem volgens Keller in waar we naartoe willen met z'n allen in Europa. ‘Er is geen einddoel.

On this episode of Parallax Views, Richard Silverstein of the Tikun Olam blog joins us to analyze recent revelations about the much-publicized bombing of Iran's Fordow nuclear facility — and why Donal Trump's narrative of its “destruction” is falling apart. Drawing on satellite imagery, U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency assessments, and the in-depth Foreign Policy article by Jeffrey Lewis ("Iran Is on Course for a Bomb After U.S. Strikes Fail to Destroy Facilities"), we break down what really happened, why Iran's underground nuclear infrastructure may be more intact than reported, and how the U.S.-Israeli campaign may have done far less damage than claimed. We also discuss Richard's recent Jacobin article, “Regime Change in Iran Will Not End Well”, which argues that the true goals of the bombing campaign — regime destabilization and securing Israel's regional dominance — have been pursued under the pretense of halting Iran's nuclear program. Silverstein explores how U.S. and Israeli actions risk entrenching Iran's hardliners, escalating regional instability, and backfiring catastrophically — all while sidelining diplomacy in favor of militarism and media-driven spectacle. Additionally, Richard argues that the Islamic Republic of Iran has, by surviving, won this round. In the final part of the conversation, we turn to Silverstein's hard-hitting piece for The New Arab, “Genocide Goes Squid Game as Israel Outsources 'Aid' to Gaza Gangs”. There, he exposes how Israel is using armed proxies — notably members of the al-Shabab clan — to control aid distribution in Gaza, with Shin Bet reportedly organizing and funding the effort. We explore how this divide-and-rule strategy recalls past Israeli use of militias in Lebanon and Syria, and how disaster capitalism, mercenary networks, and covert intelligence operations are shaping Israel's postwar "day after" plans for 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. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Four more soldiers were declared dead on Friday morning after a booby trapped building exploded in the southern Gaza Strip. The slain soldiers were Sgt. First Class Tom Rotstein, Staff Sgt. Uri Yhonatan Cohen, Sgt. Maj. (res.) Chen Gross and Staff Sgt. Yoav Raver. Fabian weighs in on the challenges facing troops on the ground as Operation Gideon's Chariots continues. The leader of a small Gaza terror group responsible for the October 7, 2023, abductions and eventual murders of several hostages -- including Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir -- was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City on Saturday, the military said. Another senior member was killed in a separate strike in the city. Fabian explains what the Mujahideen Brigades group is and other hostages who were murdered by it. The body of slain hostage Nattapong Pinta, who Hamas-led terrorists abducted on October 7, 2023, was recovered in a joint Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet operation in the southern Gaza Strip, officials announced Saturday morning. This follows the recovery of two additional hostage bodies, Gadi Haggai and Judih Weinstein from the Khan Younis region. We learn how their whereabouts were determined. The Israeli Navy is expected to block a high-profile activist mission sailing to Gaza to challenge Israel’s blockade, should the boat near Israel’s territorial waters in the coming days. Among the 12 activists on the ship are Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, Irish “Game of Thrones” actor Liam Cunningham, and Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian European Parliament member. With the world's gaze on Israel, Fabian describes how the Navy may block the boat from reaching the Gaza shore. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The controversy over the appointment of a Shin Bet chief continues, says Sharon, discussing the implications of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's instructions to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he continues to disregard the instructions about appointing a new Shin Bet chief. Sharon reviews the potential for a constitutional crisis as the situation comes to a head. Sharon also reviews some of the statements made by the attorney general and President of the Supreme Court Isaac Amit during Monday's Bar Association conference, as they both accused the government of quietly advancing far-reaching changes to Israel’s form of government. Bletter speaks about several Israeli medical centers and how hospitals prepared for and responded to the needs of returning hostages in the earlier stages of the war and more recently. She discusses the particular care given to children and the expectation that hospitals will care for released hostages and their families for months and years to come.

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.

Political correspondent Tal Schneider and legal reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following the tragic shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, Schneider reviews what we know about the victims and the shooter, as well as security at public Jewish institutions in the US. Schneider also discusses the implications of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Wednesday night press conference, his first with the Israeli press in at least six months. The prime minister discussed key issues, including the government's demand that Gazans be relocated in its ongoing negotiations for the hostages. Schneider points out that the hostage families strongly criticized the prime minister for his statements regarding the talks. Netanyahu was also taken to task for his mistaken remarks about one Gaza envelope kibbutz and what happened to the community on October 7, as well as his downplaying of the Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel on October 7, remarking that they were wearing flip-flops and weren't a heavily armed force. Following Wednesday's High Court ruling that Netanyahu's firing of the Shin Bet chief was improper due to a conflict of interest, Sharon discusses the immediate implications of the ruling, commenting that the Shin Bet's independence is crucial for Israel's democratic governance and the government faces a potential constitutional crisis following the court's ruling.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government have made clear their intent to move forward with Bar's dismissal, and have already started the search for his replacement. While much of this is historic, tensions between the Shin Bet and Israel's elected leaders are nothing new. In fact, this friction goes back to the founding of the State. Our guest is Amichai Cohen, who joins us from Israel. Amichai is an expert on Israel's internal security agency, and the laws concerning Israel's national security. He is a Senior Fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute, where he leads the program on national security. Amichai is also the author of four books, and a professor of law at Ono Academic College.

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.?

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
