Oktober wurde er zum Kriegsreporter. Im “Heimspiel” spricht er über die sogenannte Waffenruhe im Gazastreifen und die aktuelle Lage in Israel: Welche Bedrohung stellt die Hamas noch dar – welche die israelische Armee für die Menschen in Gaza?

Trump'ın dayattığı Gazze mütarekesi Batı Asya'ya barış getirmedi. İsrail sürekli bu sözde ateşkesi bozuyor, yeni katliamlar yapmak için hiçbir fırsatı kaçırmıyor. Trump Türkiye, Mısır ve Katar'ı taşeronlaştırarak direnişi zapturapt altına almaya çalışırken, savaşmadan iktidarda kalması mümkün olmayan Netanyahu, İran'a karşı ABD ve Avrupa ile birlikte yeni bir cephe açmak için kolları sıvıyor. Aslında bu cephede yan yana gelenler El Aksa Tûfanı öncesinde iyice belli olmuştu, şimdi sözde ateşkes, İran'a karşı emperyalistler ve Siyonistlerle aynı safta olanları yeniden görünür kılıyor.Emperyalizm-Siyonizm cephesi ve karşısındakilerİran, İsrail'e karşı silahlı olarak Filistin halkının yanında durdu. Bunun karşılığı Ekim 2024'ten itibaren Siyonistlerin ve son olarak da ABD emperyalizminin İran'a yönelik onlarca saldırısı oldu. Yakın zamanda İsrail ve ABD İran'a yeniden saldırabilir. Yemen, Filistin halkını bir dakika bile yalnız bırakmadı. Tel Aviv'i yüzlerce kilometre uzaktan defalarca vurdu. Kızıldeniz'i emperyalist ve Siyonistlerin gemilerine kapattı. Karşılığı, bir seferinde Yemen hükümet üyelerinin dahi katledildiği karşı saldırılar ve acımasız bir ambargo oldu. Hizbullah, Lübnan'ın güneyini Siyonistler için bir cehenneme çevirdi. İsrail'in kuzeyinde yaşayan yerleşimciler bir yıldan uzun bir süre evlerine yaklaşamadılar bile. Karşılığı, Hizbullah liderlerine ve komutanlarına yönelik suikastlar, güney Lübnan'a ABD ve İsrail'in yoğun saldırıları oldu. Özetle, El Aksa Tûfânı'nın ardından cesur bir şekilde Siyonizme kafa tutan kim varsa, ağır bedeller ödedi.Bunların karşısında, İsrail'i soykırım sürecinde bile destekleyenler var. Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri bu listenin başında. Karşılığında Emirlik tüccarları İsrail pazarına girdi ve ülke, ABD'den satışı ciddi kısıtlamalara bağlı yapay zekâ çipleri gibi malzemeler almayı başardı. Gazze'deki ablukanın destekçisi Mısır, soykırım boyunca Refah'ı açmaya yeltenmedi. Filistin halkını yalnız bıraktı. Karşılığında ABD askerî sanayii ürünlerinin Mısır'a satışına onay verildi. Elbette Mısır'da Sisi'yi başa getiren darbenin ABD destekli olduğunu söylemeye gerek bile yok. İngiliz ve Türk istihbaratı ortak yapımı olan, Suriye'nin tekfirci mezhepçi çeteleri, kravat takıp takım elbise giydikten sonra, İsrail'e dokunmayacaklarına yemin edince Şam'da bir devlete sahip oluverdiler. Son örnek Fas. İsrail ile kurduğu iyi ilişkilerin de sonucu olarak, yıllar önce sömürgeleştirdiği Batı Sahra'da Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi'nden kendi istediği bir kararı çıkarmayı başardı.Emperyalizme ve Siyonizme hizmet eninde sonunda kaybettirir!“İyi ya işte, İsrail ile işbirliği yaparsak kazanırız” mı dediniz? Yanıldınız. Fas gençliğinin sefalete karşı 27 Eylül'de başlattığı gösterileri geçen ayki gazetemizde sizlere aktarmıştık. Eylemler şimdilik duruldu, ama halkın sefaleti devam ediyor. Mısır halkı, Sisi'nin Siyonizmin dostu olmasından hiçbir şey kazanmıyor, yarısına yakını yoksulluk sınırı altında. Sisi ise kendisine yeni bir başkent inşa etmekle meşgul. İsrail HTŞ'cilere inat Suriye'yi bir atış poligonuna çevirmiş durumda.Trump'ın silahsızlandırma planı Batı Asya'yı soykırımcı Siyonistler ve emperyalistler için dikensiz gül bahçesine çevirmeyi amaçlıyorTrump'ın Gazze planı, öyle ucuz uyanıklıklarla lehe çevrilebilecek bir proje değil, sadece Filistin'i ilgilendiren bir plan hiç değil. Filistin direniş örgütlerinden başlayacak bir “Direniş Ekseni güçlerini silahsızlandırma” planının ilk adımı. ABD basıncı ve tehditleriyle Filistin örgütleri, ardından muhtemelen İsrail'in saldırılarıyla Hizbullah ve belki de son aşamada Ensarullah hedef alınacak. Bölge emperyalizm ve Siyonizm için dikensiz gül bahçesine dönüşecek. İran, yıkılmasa bile sınırlarına hapsedilecek. Sonra da anne çakal Trump, bölge ülkelerinden oluşan yavrularının önüne dolar ambalajına sarılmış yeni İbrahimî anlaşmaları atıp, buradan gelecek zenginliği bağıra çağıra aralarında paylaşmalarını izleyecek.

16 novembre. A Gaza l'inverno entra dalle fessure. Le tende degli sfollati affondano sotto la pioggia, i bambini raccolgono l'acqua con le mani, l'Unrwa ripete che i rifornimenti per il freddo restano fermi ai valichi e che le restrizioni israeliane violano il diritto internazionale. La tregua sembra un telo bagnato che non regge. A New York si prepara il voto sul piano americano per il dopo-Gaza, mentre la Russia rilancia un testo alternativo che cancella l'autorità di transizione immaginata dagli Usa. In parallelo, l'esercito israeliano lavora già all'ipotesi di un collasso della tregua: un dettaglio che vale più di molte dichiarazioni. Sul fronte nord il Libano porta all'Onu il reclamo contro il muro costruito da Israele, definito una ferita alla propria sovranità. È il segno che la “calma” non ha smesso di scricchiolare. La contabilità dei corpi continua a scorrere su due lati: a Tel Aviv le famiglie tornano in piazza per chiedere il rientro degli ultimi tre ostaggi; a Gaza arrivano altre quindici salme, una lista che supera le trecento e che resta in gran parte senza nome. Lo stesso giorno Abu Mazen compie novant'anni, icona di un'Autorità palestinese che partecipa ai colloqui sulla “fase successiva” da una posizione sempre più laterale. In Italia Tajani ripete la formula del «rafforzare la tregua» e guarda al voto di lunedì, legando l'esito alle scelte di Cina e Russia. La Cisl consegna 553mila euro alla Croce Rossa e richiama l'unico orizzonte possibile, «due popoli, due Stati», mentre nelle città italiane restano i gesti minimi: i ventimila nomi dei bambini di Gaza scritti dai loro coetanei a Brescia; una madre e un bimbo accolti in parrocchia; un blitz per ricordare che il silenzio consuma. L'ambasciatore israeliano in Italia dice che il problema non è il governo, ma l'opinione pubblica. A Gaza, sotto l'acqua, il problema ha un altro nome: sopravvivere alla tregua. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Schrijver Arnon Grunberg, de meest onvermoeibare pen van Nederland, volgt de Israëlische samenleving en politiek al jaren nauwgezet. Voor zijn nieuwe boek reisde hij in september af naar onder andere Tel Aviv en Jeruzalem. In ‘Achter de Frontlinie' vertelt hij over de dingen die hij daar zag en hoorde en plaatst hij de genocidale praktijken van het leger in maatschappelijke context. Samen met Abdou bevraagt hij fundamentele zaken zoals schuld, verantwoordelijkheid en het effect van Netanyahu's praktijken op de Joodse diaspora. Hij pleit er ook voor om een open blik te houden en kritisch te kijken naar de krampachtigheid in het publieke debat over Israël. ‘Het was verschrikkelijk dat na 9/11 moslims opeens geacht werden zich te distantiëren van Bin Laden. Ik vind het net zo absurd dat er nu van Joden, die niet in Israël wonen en die geen Israëlisch paspoort hebben, verwacht wordt dat ze zich distantiëren van Israël.'

Pelvic Girdle Pain, also known as pubic symphysis dysfunction, affects an estimated one in five pregnant women. It is often mild but can sometimes be debilitating and it's been highlighted by a BBC news report that has come out today. It's not harmful to the baby, but it can affect simple things like the mother's mobility. Kylie Pentelow speaks to Victoria Roberton, who experienced Pelvic Girdle Pain during her first pregnancy - she is now coordinator at the Pelvic Partnership, and Dr Nighat Arif, a GP specialising in women's health.It's been one month since the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire began, aimed at halting the war, returning hostages, and increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza. However, both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the truce. Despite the fragile ceasefire, some see hope for lasting peace. Kylie is joined by Layla Alsheikh from the West Bank, and Mor Ynon from Tel Aviv - both are members of the Parents Circle Families Forum, a group of bereaved families working for reconciliation.Witches are haunting London's Kiln Theatre for a brand new, all-female musical about the 1633 Pendle Witch Trials. Co-composer of Coven, Rebecca Brewer, and one of its stars, Diana Vickers, join Kylie to talk about sisterhood, survival and whether their show could be the next SIX.There's a brand new podcast launching today: CBeebies Parenting Download.

C’est un séisme médiatique : après 75 ans d’antenne, la radio militaire Galatz, institution nationale et pilier de l’espace public israélien, fermera d’ici mars 2026 sur ordre du ministre de la Défense Israël Katz. Un geste qui interroge : simple réforme ? décision politique ? atteinte à la liberté de la presse dans un pays déjà fracturé ? Pour décrypter ce que révèle vraiment la disparition de ce média emblématique — le lien Armée–Société–Pouvoir, la polarisation, les enjeux institutionnels — nous recevons Stéphane Wahnich, politologue et spécialiste de l’analyse du discours à l’Université de Tel-Aviv.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. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. President Isaac Herzog announced Wednesday that US President Donald Trump had written him to ask him to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently standing trial on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Magid brings other instances in which the US president has pushed for the end of Netanyahu's trial and describes the contents of this new “Free Bibi” letter. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday said “there’s some concern” about events in the West Bank undermining efforts to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza, in his first remarks on the latest spate of settler violence. This comes after a week in which dozens of Israelis launched a large-scale arson attack on Palestinians in the West Bank, targeting factories and farmland between the major cities of Nablus and Tulkarem. Magid reports on Rubio's statements, gives the context for them, and explains how they mark a departure for the Trump administration. Early this week, Magid exclusively reported that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas fired his finance minister for allowing payments to Palestinian security prisoners through an old mechanism -- often called “pay-to-slay.” These stipends are awarded to the prisoners or their families, giving them monthly salaries based on the length of their sentence, which correlates to the severity of the crimes. We hear why these payments raise such red flags for Israelis and Americans. Syria’s leader Ahmed al-Sharaa visited the White House on Monday and made a media splash as the former terrorist was shot shooting hoops and enjoying Trump's branded cologne. In an interview with The Washington Post, al-Sharaa claimed the US president supports his insistence on a complete Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territory as a condition for a comprehensive security deal between the long-warring neighboring countries. Magid weighs in. US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the Central Asian, Muslim-majority country of Kazakhstan will be the first country to join the Abraham Accords in his second term. Since the nation established diplomatic relations with the Jewish state in 1992, shortly after it broke away from the Soviet Union, what does either country gain by this step?

With Jon still on the road, Zak Paine and Ghost team up for an intense, globe-spanning episode of Baseless Conspiracies. The duo dives into the new “Trump World Order,” unpacking the shocking meeting between President Trump and Syria's new leader, once an Al-Qaeda operative, and how Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Russia are shaping the next chapter of global realignment. They connect the dots between deep-state players like Lindsey Graham and John McCain, who literally stood beside future ISIS leaders, and expose how U.S. money and intelligence created the chaos in the Middle East. From the alleged Hamas inside job on October 7th and Netanyahu's funding scandal to the Mossad's blackmail networks and Zionist propaganda psyops, Zak and Ghost lay out a web of corruption, manipulation, and spiritual deception stretching from D.C. to Tel Aviv. The conversation heats up with the “Tucker is not MAGA” campaign, Mark Levin's deep-state ties, and how Trump's global chessboard may be turning Israel's war narrative on its head. Explosive, fearless, and unfiltered...this is Baseless Conspiracies at its boldest.

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. Hamas announced that the body of IDF officer Lt. Hadar Goldin, held by the terror organization since 2014, will be returned to Israel at 2 p.m. We learn about Operation Protective Edge, the Hamas operation to ostensibly recover Goldin’s body that occurred yesterday, as well as what’s happening with the 150-odd Hamas gunmen who are trapped in a tunnel in the same part of the southern Gaza strip in an IDF-controlled area. Military representatives on Saturday morning notified the family of Lior Rudaeff that his body was returned to Israel by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad on Friday night, after forensic experts completed their identification. Fabian describes what we know of Rudaeff's killing on October 7, 2023. Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi was hospitalized this morning. This comes a day after her elusive phone was discovered on a Tel Aviv beach by passersby. Fabian takes up the thread of the Hollywood-esque narrative about Tomer-Yerushalmi, who is accused of multiple crimes, including obstruction of justice. We also hear about Itai Ofer, who has been named as Tomer-Yerushalmi's replacement, and the obstacles he faces to secure the role. Defense Minister Israel Katz said Thursday he was “declaring war” on weapon smuggling via drones over the Egyptian border, instructing the military to declare a closed military zone in the area and the Shin Bet to define such attempts as terrorism. Fabian describes the uptick in smuggling and weighs in on the measures currently taken against it. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Just when it seemed that we might enjoy a lull with the ceasefire, a fresh scandal overtakes the public sphere in Israel. This one is a homegrown domestic mess but it could lead to far reaching, international consequences. In July, 2024, allegations of prisoner abuse at Sde Teiman prison in southern Israel began to surface. This is the prison where detainees captured in the Gaza Strip were held. Then a video - purporting to show physical abuse by IDF soldiers in the prison - was released. The video, in fact, is very grainy and does not show what has been suggested. Nevertheless, when it was leaked an international uproar ensued. Several IDF soldiers were indicted on serious criminal charges but it is unclear exactly what they pertain to.The indictments of IDF reservists sparked serious riots in Israel, when civilians broke into two IDF bases. A series of probes within the legal system were conducted, and we didn't hear much more - until Wednesday, October 29. On that day, the top lawyer in the IDF - Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi - was put on leave. Two days later she resigned and admitted, in writing, that she had leaked the video. So now we have a leak and cover up at the highest levels. During the last week there has been high drama in this case. Yerushalmi disappeared for a few hours - causing major alarm. Her phone disappeared and was found five days later in the sea. Incredibly, it still worked. She was held in custody for five days and then released to house arrest. Tonight she is in hospital following an overdose and what appears to be a suicide attempt. Everything about this case is sensational and horrible; the personal suffering and indignity and the profound implications for the justice system in Israel. We discuss it all with former IDF MAG lawyer, Ben Wahlhous, who now works as an attorney in private practice in Israel. Wahlhous explains the role of the unit and what is concerning about this case. He also puts it into perspective - making clear that this case demonstrates how strong and ethical the Israeli justice system remains.Because the facts of this case are so - complicated - and important to understand….and there is so much going on, I have divided this podcast into four parts:Part 1 - Introduction and The Facts 00:00 - 14:25Part 2 - Interview with Ben Wahlhous, attorney and former lawyer in IDF legal unit - MAG 14:26 - 41:39Part 3 - Update on the Facts Current to the evening of Sunday, November 9 41:40-44:28Part 4 - A Little Levity - An iPhone Experiment Conducted on a Top Political Analysis Show 44:29 - endShow your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast NotesBen Wahlhaus served for many years as an officer in the IDF's International Law Department. He has been a member of Israel's defense team at The Hague against South Africa's allegations of genocide, advised on Israel's peace treaties and agreements, and appeared in international media explaining the IDF's commitment to international law.

The current exhibition at the Zimbalista Gallery in Tel Aviv, “Blind, Bound, Bowed, Naked," presents a striking and contemporary look at Ofra Zimbalista’s work, exploring existence, human suffering, and compassion.

The Israeli government is facing what it calls a “public relations disaster” after a video surfaced showing soldiers torturing and sexually assaulting a Palestinian prisoner - a clear war crime under any legal system. Public outrage in Israel has focused less on the abuse itself and more on the leak. And the military's chief prosecutor, who admitted leaking the footage, has been arrested and branded a traitor. The saga is yet another example of Israeli society's unwillingness to confront what it has become.

Kenya's most nicknamed president In Kenya, political satire often takes the form of sharp, witty nicknames - and President William Ruto has earned plenty. As his popularity wanes, young Kenyans online are using these nicknames to mock and challenge his leadership in ways that traditional media cannot.

//The Wire//2300Z November 6, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: RIOTS ERUPT IN BIRMINGHAM AS SPORTS MATCH TRANSITIONS FROM GENERAL HOOLIGANISM INTO LARGER GEOPOLITICAL CONFLICT. OVAL OFFICE PRESS CONFERENCE HALTED DUE TO PHARMA EXEC COLLAPSING SUDDENLY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: A state of civil unrest has emerged following a soccer match inflaming local tensions. Following a much-anticipated soccer match between a team from Tel Aviv and the local Aston Villa team in Birmingham, riots broke out overnight as rival gangs took their disputes to the street. Riot police were deployed to the stop the roving bands of "youths" from destroying property and generally causing disarray. Throughout the day today, the unrest has continued as long-held social tensions in Birmingham reached the boiling point. Over 700x police officers have been called up for duty tonight as the riots are planned to become much more significant with tonight's match against Tel Aviv.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon the White House announced a special press conference on the topic of pharmaceuticals. Most notably the press conference was called to announce a partnership with Novo Nordisk to lower the price of the Ozempic drug when purchased through the TrumpRX program.Analyst Comment: The press conference was abruptly cut short after Gordon Findlay, one of the senior executives of Novo Nordisk (the maker of Ozempic) collapsed in the Oval Office during the live broadcast. Dr. Oz, who was a part of the conference tried to render aid to him, and the rest of the press conference was delayed while Findlay received medical treatment. It's not certain why he dropped, but the White House stated that he was okay but feeling a bit lightheaded after the incident.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Once more, the misfortune of our friends across the pond gives Americans absolutely critical insight as to how things might go if a similar series of events were to pop off here in a major American city. For obvious reasons, a relatively nondescript soccer match is less about the sport and more about social and political issues, thus the unrest concerns. In short, it's a fairly kinetic and complex situation that serves in many ways as an indicator of the future to come.Birmingham has become a huge focal point for migrant housing, and these riots were not the work of the indigenous English. However, as with all soccer hooliganism, the rioting is almost never just one-sided. In this case, some (not all) Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned by British authorities from the Aston Villa stadium after starting a riot themselves, according to police. This resulted in two things happening simultaneously: the Islamic population of Birmingham rejoiced at this perceived geopolitical victory (and celebrated by breaking things and causing a ruckus), while many other Maccabi Tel Aviv fans lashed out in anger (again, also by breaking things and causing a ruckus). However, during the general state of unrest, rival gangs of mostly black and Islamic migrants (which had no interest in soccer) started fighting amongst themselves, adding in more diversity to the evening fray. Others still showed up to protest for more political purposes, but remained relatively calm throughout the evening. When the police arrived to restore order as this was getting underway last night (the day before the match), the more active elements of the crowds turned on them, targeting them with fireworks (which were probably used due to yesterday being Guy Fawkes Night). It is this unrest that continued from last night, throughout the day today, to tonight as well (the night of the match). So this is a two-day affair, not just a one-and-done scuffle, but a more prolonged period of unrest.In short, what's going on in Birmingham right now is more or less a state of mild pandem

The election of Zohran Mamdani is unique on many levels, and none of them good. In June 2025, during an interview on the podcast The Bulwark, Mamdani was asked about the slogan “Globalize the Intifada”. Far from condemning it, he was in favor of it, describing it as a symbolic expression of “a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.” Considering there are more Jews in New York City than live in Tel Aviv, he's an interesting choice for mayor, wouldn't you say?“Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.” Isaiah 14:29 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, this is Day 2,061 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve and our end times activity meter is pinning the needle all the way to the right, pushing it to the breaking point. Cries of ‘escape from New York' threaten a mass exodus from the ‘greatest city in the world', as Mamdani comes out swinging in his first interview. He declared war on capitalism, on Republicans, on the rich, and on Donald Trump and all his voters. Speaking of MAGA, Republicans are at each other's throats with infighting, and the government shutdown just might end air travel as we know it. Tucker Carlson is now lowkey promoting white nationalism and antisemitism, and Poland is preparing to fight Russia in WWIII.

C'est l'histoire d'une collaboration artistique de prestige entre Londres et Tel-Aviv qui s'effondre. Le Royal Ballet & Opera du Royaume-Uni a annulé sa participation à Tosca, refusant d'associer son nom à l'opéra israélien. En cause : le soutien affiché de l'institution à l'armée israélienne dans la guerre à Gaza. Les Britanniques dénoncent un lieu qui « récompense et légitime ouvertement les forces même, responsables des meurtres quotidiens de civils à Gaza », en référence aux billets gratuits offerts aux soldats. Mais loin d'annuler, l'opéra israélien contre-attaque : il monte l'œuvre seul et promet une version éminemment politique. De notre envoyé spécial à Tel-Aviv  « Quand les canons ont tonné, les muses ne se sont pas tues », proclame Nili Cohen, la présidente du conseil d'administration de l'opéra israélien de Tel-Aviv. Et c'est précisément ce qui est reproché à cette institution dans une lettre ouverte de plus de 200 membres du Royal Ballet and Opera de Londres, qui ont annulé une coproduction de la Tosca de Puccini. « C'est un alignement délibéré avec un gouvernement actuellement engagé dans des crimes contre l'humanité », affirment les signataires du texte. Tali Barash Gottlieb, directrice générale l'opéra israélien, raconte : « Nous avons rencontré de grandes difficultés au cours de l'année qui s'achève. Et nous nous attendons à des problèmes pas moindres lors de la prochaine saison. Et c'est pour cela que nous mettons l'accent sur la participation de créateurs israéliens. C'était, de toute façon, notre intention pour cette quarantième saison qui est véritablement l'occasion de présenter sur le devant de la scène des talents israéliens, car les productions internationales présentent un grand défi. » La Tosca est donc au programme de cette nouvelle saison emblématique. Mais dans une production purement israélienne donc. Une situation qu'Anat Czarny, mezzo-soprano à l'Opéra de Tel-Aviv, regrette profondément. « Je peux comprendre les deux protagonistes concernés. Mais j'étais très déçue, car je crois que l'art est quelque chose de sacré. C'est quelque chose produit pour rapprocher les gens les uns des autres. J'ai un peu l'impression que ce n'est pas la politique qui est gagnante, mais plutôt l'art qui est perdant », se désole la chanteuse.  Après la période du Covid-19, et surtout depuis le 7 octobre 2023, la profession de chanteuse lyrique est très précaire en Israël. Mère de deux enfants, Anat Czarny va entamer une carrière parallèle d'infirmière, un de ses rêves d'enfance : « Le matin, je suis soit à l'hôpital, soit à l'opéra. Le soir, soit à l'opéra, soit à l'hôpital. Mais quand même, je veux être chanteuse d'opéra. C'est tout ce que je voudrais faire. »  Également au cœur de cette nouvelle saison de l'opéra israélien : le Dibbouk, histoire dans la tradition juive kabbaliste d'un esprit qui entre dans le corps d'un vivant pour le posséder, à la suite de mauvaises actions. Tout un programme. À lire aussi«J'ai retrouvé mon enfant démembré»: à Gaza, les bombes israéliennes non-explosées sèment la terreur

After 70 years of exile in Babylon Cyrus, the king of Persia, who had recently conquered the city of Babylon, decreed that the exiled Jews be allowed to return to Judea and to rebuild Jerusalem. The decree was made in BC 537. Read it aloud in verses 2-4 of Ezra 1. Two thousand five hundred and twenty years later the Embassy of the USA is relocated from Tel Aviv of Jerusalem and a coin is minted showing Cyrus on one side and the then American president, Donald Trump. The uncirculated coin - meaning the coin is not legal tender - is inscribed with the words from Ezra 1verses2. The gold and silver vessels of the former temple at Jerusalem which had been stored in the treasure house in Babylon are returned to the new temple that is to be built in Jerusalem. Chapter 2 of Ezra gives us an inventory of the vessels and speaks the faithful remnant who with Ezra the scribe. King Cyrus makes a generous donation towards the cost of rebuilding Jerusalem. The vessels represent the saintsverses Isaiah 22verses24; 2 Timothy 2verses20-21.Hosea 5 deals with the judgment to come upon faithless Israel and Judah. Yahweh would, like a lion, tear His people because of their rebellious ways firstly through the Assyrian lion who would carry Israel captive; and then Judah would experience a similar fate 120 years later at the hands of the Babylonians.Acts 21 records Paul's journey to Jerusalem. The Apostle comforts and encourages many groups of disciples as he heads to Jerusalem. An old prophet, named Agabus, attempts to persuade Paul to go no further. Paul will not, like his lord, be dissuaded from going. The first thing Paul does on his arrival is to see James who advises him of the best course of action to be taken so as to avoid trouble. The Apostle is advised to complete his Nazarite vow and to cover the expenses of four other brothers who are completing their vows. James reiterates to Paul that the only binding requirements on Gentile believers are the keeping of the four matters agreed upon at the Jerusalem Conference. However, Paul cannot peacefully complete his vow since he is arrested in the temple by Asian Jews. These hostile Jews mistakenly believe that Paul has profaned the temple by bringing Trophimus, a Gentile Ephesian into the temple. A Tribune from the Roman fort of Antonia rescues Paul and commands that he be chained. The crowd clamours for the Apostle's blood, just as they had for his Lord's some three and a half decades earlier. In the barracks Paul speaks with the Tribune dismissing many of the fanciful thoughts as to who Paul might be. Paul asks for permission to address the crowd from the steps of the fort and his speech is recorded in chapter 22. Paul gives his defence in Hebrew and initially the crowd pays close attention. The aged Apostle describes his own education in the Pharisaic tradition under Gamaliel and his zeal for the Law. After this he tells of his experiences on the Damascus road, his conversion to a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says that he is warned by Jesus his Lord to immediately leave Jerusalem since his testimony will not be accepted. The Jews attentively listen until Paul speaks of being sent to the Gentiles. Once again uproar follows and the Tribune commands that Paul be scourged that the Tribune might understand why the multitude were so angry with the Apostle. Paul, on this occasion, uses his Roman citizenship to avoid a pointless flogging. The chapter concludes with the Tribune intending to have Paul examined by the Jewish Sanhedrin on the next day.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

In this episode of The Data Chief, Ilan Twig, co-founder and CTO of Navan, shares why large language models will revolutionize our relationship with technology—just like the mouse did for the keyboard. From pushing AI to its limits to launching Navan Cognition, built for zero critical hallucination, Ilan reveals what it really takes to lead through change and build AI that people can trust. He also dives into a critical question every company must face: Will you build AI from scratch, or build with AI partners?? And if you're curious about the next frontier, Ilan paints a bold vision of agent-to-agent communication—where AI services talk to each other and your admin work disappears into the background.  A must-listen for anyone building the future of AI-powered user experiences.Key Moments:Agent-to-Agent Communication (A2A) (17:00): Ilan envisions a future where dedicated AI services communicate with each other in natural language, without the need for an API. This "mother of all bots" would manage administrative tasks by talking to other bots, simplifying complex tasks for the user.AI as a "Human" Experience (27:16): Ilan was surprised by the release of ChatGPT in 2022 because it was the first time a technology felt human. This led him to spend four months building and testing the technology's boundaries, including its ability to lie or be "jailbroken" with creative prompts.Identifying the Core Business (31:43): Ilan advises companies to decide if they want to become an "AI company" or simply use AI. He explains that building a core AI platform requires a huge commitment.A Case Study in Building (35:32): The conversation furthers, as a light is shed on the building of “Navan Cognition”, because no solution existed at the time to prevent critical hallucinations in AI models. This system includes a supervisor agent that works to catch and correct undesirable responses, creating a "zero critical hallucination" experience for its users.Key Quotes:"LLMs would do to the mouse what the mouse did to the keyboard when it comes to how humans interact with computers."  - Ilan Twig“My role is to always apply the best technology in order to drive, to create the best product and best experience. That's my role. And it is not technology for the sake of technology. It is technology for the sake of creating value for the users." - Ilan Twig“We ended up using ThoughtSpot. We also applied the generative AI capabilities that you guys have built into your product. That's build versus buy. That's the benefit of buy.”  - Ilan TwigMentionsNavan Introduces World's Smartest T&E Personal AssistantNavan CognitionAI jailbreak method tricks LLMs into poisoning their own contextSurely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character)  - Richard P. FeynmanGuest Bio Ilan Twig is the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Navan, the leading modern travel and expense management platform, globally. As CTO, Ilan drives Navan's product development and engineering efforts, leveraging cutting-edge technologies — including AI — to enhance user experience and operational efficiency.

Episode 73 of What Gives?—the Jewish Philanthropy Podcast from Jewish Funders Network, hosted by JFN President and CEO Andrés Spokoiny. In this episode, Andrés speaks with Ronen Koehler, a former submarine commander and a leader of Brothers and Sisters in Arms. We recorded this conversation during Israel's war with Iran, with Ronen joining us from inside a public shelter in Tel Aviv. He reflects on the urgent, grassroots work of transforming neglected public shelters into safe and humane spaces, the evolution of Brothers and Sisters in Arms since October 7th, and the leadership lessons he carries from military service to civil society. It's a conversation about resilience, responsibility, and the power of citizens to step up when systems falter. Take a listen.

On today's podcast I chat once again with Paul Kearns, urban planner, author and journalist who has been living in Tel Aviv with his young family for the last 8 years. Paul brings us his insights from inside Israel since the Trump brokered cease fire - were there celebrations, who is credited with the ceasefire, what is the general mood like, what is the current standing of Netanyahu and what will happen with his corruption trial? He spoke about the trauma of this war for those in Israel, for those in Gaza and the West Bank, and how he tries his very best to explain the war to his very curious 9 year old girl. This was a difficult conversation, and in all honesty it is impossible to see a peaceful path forward, but yet, life goes on for everyone who will have to do their best to recover from the psychological trauma of this utterly pointless war. This world of ours has to do a better job in making sure this does not happen again. Just a day after our conversation Gaza was attacked again and over 100 people were murdered.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The intrigue surrounding the leaked surveillance camera footage from the Sde Teiman detention facility is unabating as a search continues at Hatzuk Beach in Tel Aviv for the phone of the former military advocate general, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, whom police reportedly suspect of intentionally tossing it into the sea when she briefly disappeared Sunday evening. Horovitz updates us on the complicated case implicating the Military Advocate General’s Office and its many dramatic moments in the past few days. The Trump administration’s draft UN Security Council resolution to establish an international force in Gaza would reportedly give the US and other participating countries a broad two-year mandate to govern Gaza and be in charge of security there, according to an Axios report. We discuss the implications for such a step and whether it could be a way of bypassing the idea of a council of Palestinian technocrats ruling the strip. As media watchdog groups are denouncing a bill from the Communications Ministry that passed its first reading yesterday, saying that it is a step towards the end of free press and that the legislation would “give the government political control” over content and news broadcasts. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi claims it is a way to take the news out of the hands of the monopoly of billionaires who own the media. Horovitz discusses some of the details of the bill and why many are concerned. During an era of public fissure in Israel, prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated 30 years ago today. Horovitz weighs in on that terrible day and why he insists there is hope for bridging Israel's gaps and moving toward societal healing.

Ya'akov Katz is back in Israel following a two-week book promotion tour in the U.S. See the information below. It is a beautifully written, incisive analysis of what went wrong on October 6 and 7. A page turner.It was great to have him on the podcast to take a close look at what is going on in the Gaza Strip - and what is not happening. It is almost one month since the Trump Peace Plan was signed and hope was high. Less so in Israel, perhaps, where so many weak spots were apparent. But it was something. And the first phase ensured that all living hostages would be released within days of signing. That alone was so important to the majority of Israelis. Incredibly, they did come out on Monday, October 13, after two years in captivity. A miracle that many thought would never come to pass. But then the chicanery began. Hamas has been dragging out the return of bodies of the hostages murdered in captivity. Why? Each day buys them time; to re-arm and regroup. And that is exactly what they are doing. Hamas controls approximately 50% of the Gaza Strip now and has no intention of relinquishing power or surrendering arms. They never did. They are brutalizing the people under their control and also conducting ambushes of IDF soldiers in the area that is controlled by Israel. The situation is volatile and operations are somewhat stalled. Just who will disarm Hamas remains unclear. And this is what Ya'akov Katz and I discuss today.

Through a detailed examination of the events leading up to October 7, 2023, the book exposes the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled this devastating invasion. It takes readers back in time, showing how years of complacency, mistaken intelligence analysis, and a misguided policy of containment enabled Hamas to prepare for an assault that Israel did not believe was possible and that would change the Middle East.The book unveils the dramatic events of the night before the attack, highlighting the cracks in Israel's military and political leadership. It provides unprecedented details on how key warnings were missed, and how Israel ignored the growing threat from Hamas, believing that the group was weak and deterred. By exposing these failures, While Israel Slept offers a stark, sobering account of how overconfidence and complacency paved the way for disaster, while underscoring the critical lessons Israel must embrace to safeguard its future.Yaakov Katz is an Israeli-American author and journalist.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training How would you go about making acquisitions to accelerate your growth? Would you buy for revenue, culture fit, or client roster? Would you be willing to fire big clients that are holding your agency back? Most agency owners chase growth by saying "yes" to everything, from new services, new clients, and every new opportunity. Today's featured guest built one of the fastest-growing mobile and digital agencies in the world by narrow focusing, firing bad-fit clients, and mastering the art of strategic acquisitions. Today he'll unpack how his agency evolved from a small mobile startup in Tel Aviv to a global digital powerhouse working with brands like Google, Uber, Samsung, and Microsoft. Gilad Bechar is the CEO and founder of Moburst, a mobile-first marketing and digital transformation agency with offices in Tel Aviv, New York, and San Francisco. Since 2013, Moburst has helped startups and Fortune 500s alike scale their reach through creative, data-driven, and tech-forward strategies. Under Gilad's leadership, the agency has raised capital, acquired multiple specialized firms, and built proprietary technology that keeps them ahead of the curve in AI, mobile UX, and cross-platform performance. In this episode, we'll discuss: The similarities between the mobile boom and the new AI era. Raising capital without losing control. Using acquisitions as a growth strategy. The power of saying no and focusing on fit.

From A Mobile-First Niche Focus to Global Agency Powerhouse When Moburst launched in 2013, the agency world was flooded with "digital experts" who claimed to understand mobile. Most didn't. Gilad noticed that agencies were simply repurposing desktop experiences for smaller screens without real mobile UX thinking, no data-driven optimization, and definitely no understanding of how users behaved differently on apps. That insight became Moburst's edge. Instead of trying to compete as another full-service digital shop, they doubled down on mobile-first marketing. They mastered app store optimization (ASO), performance tracking, and mobile UX design. That focus helped them land early wins with major clients who were desperate for expertise in a fast-changing environment. As Gilad puts it, "When you show big clients that a critical piece of their marketing is being ignored, and you can fix it, that's your entry point." The AI Parallel: Most Agencies Talk, Few Deliver Gilad sees history repeating itself with AI. Just like the early mobile days, everyone's suddenly an "AI expert." But the difference between hype and real expertise shows up fast in a conversation. He believes the proof lies under the hood. Real experts can answer deep implementation questions: which tools integrate best, how to handle data security, and what AI models perform for specific tasks. Pretenders can't. For agencies, this is a reminder that credibility is earned through insight, not jargon. Clients see through the buzzwords. And the ones who don't will eventually learn when the work doesn't deliver. Raising Capital Without Losing Control Unlike most agency founders, Gilad took venture funding, not once, but three times. But he did it differently. Instead of giving away huge equity chunks, Moburst only diluted small percentages (around 6% each round). The investors came to them after seeing how fast their clients were growing. Without that, his agency wouldn't have its current success in the US market and would probably still be a very local agency in Israel. That capital gave him the means to hire a team in New York and then eventually move there to lead that office. It was the start of many new opportunities for the agency, like building internal tech tools that set them apart. It was also the way his team has stayed ahead of the curve from competitors that are not investing in the future and stay too focused on the right here and now. Furthermore, despite having 11 investors, Moburst kept full control. Only one board seat represents all investors, and it can't override the founders' decisions. According to Gilad, that control is what allowed them to make hard but smart moves, like firing clients and cutting costs in 2017 when growth was strong but profitability wasn't. The Hard Reset That Saved the Agency and Restored Profitability In 2017, Moburst was scaling fast but losing money just as quickly. The agency was adding clients and headcount, but without the right systems to manage profitability. At one point, they were bleeding up to $70,000 a month. So Gilad made the tough call: he cut unprofitable clients, reduced staff, and rebuilt the agency around systems that supported healthy margins. "It was brutal," he admits. "We let go of big, well-known clients we loved working with. But it didn't make sense to keep losing money just to say we worked with them." That painful reset worked. By 2018, the agency was profitable again and positioned for sustainable growth. That reset set the stage for their next evolution: acquisitions. How to Use Acquisitions as a Growth Strategy (Not a Gamble) Moburst's acquisition strategy wasn't about buying revenue or chasing vanity growth. It was about buying capabilities that solved their biggest operational gaps. Their first acquisition was a video production studio they had already worked with for over a year. The partnership was strong, the culture aligned, and the collaboration was smooth. So they brought them in-house in 2019 and the agency's offerings instantly expanded. Then they looked at their next biggest outsourced expense: web and app development. So in 2022, they acquired a dev shop after a successful collaboration period. In total, Moburst has made five acquisitions, each one following a simple rule: test first, integrate later. As Gilad says, "We don't buy to solve problems. We buy what already works and multiply it." When asked about whether or not these brands keep their names after acquisition, Gilad says it all depends on their brand authority. If they do great work and have a solid team but their brand isn't as strong, then it's best to just bring it under the Moburst umbrella. In case they do have a strong brand, then they'll just make sure their website reflects they are part of a larger group. How to Structure an Agency Acquisition Deal the Smart Way For agency owners eyeing their own M&A moves, Gilad shared his preferred deal structure. Each acquisition has four key components: Cash upfront - Rewards founders for their hard work. Equity - Gives them a stake in the larger vision. Dividends - Paid yearly so they benefit from the agency's profits. Performance bonuses - Tied to the profitability of their specific business unit. This structure keeps founders motivated and aligned for years to come, without the traditional burnout that comes from rigid earnouts. Everyone wins when growth is sustainable and collaborative. Why Firing Bad Clients Helps Scale Smarter One of the biggest lessons Gilad takes away from journey is the courage to say no: to clients, deals, or directions that don't fit. Agencies often cling to bad accounts out of fear of losing revenue, but simply put, that's a silent killer. If you're not profitable on a client, you're not just breaking even; you're paying for the privilege of overworking your team. Moburst's growth didn't come from doing more — it came from doing what mattered most. By focusing, pruning, and strategically acquiring, Gilad turned a niche mobile startup into a global digital powerhouse. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with Orna and Ronen Neutra, parents of Omer Neutra, a tank platoon commander who was killed on October 7, 2023, his body taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. The Neutras, Israeli-born Americans who have been living in the US for the last 20 years, talk about the last days since the start of the ceasefire, the joyous return home of 20 living hostages, as the bodies of 13 hostages are still held in Gaza. Orna Neutra discusses how they knew they would never hug their son again, but how difficult it is to reconcile his death until they can bury his body. Ronen Neutra offers more details about October 7, 2023, his son's heroic final moments as a commander on the so-called White House IDF post near the Gaza border. The Neutras discuss their alliance with both the Biden and Trump administrations over the last two years, their more than 40 visits to Washington, DC, and how each US administration embraced the hostage families. Yet, says Orna Neutra, there is still the challenge of explaining that a deceased hostage is still a hostage, and can't remain in Gaza. Ronen Neutra talks about the gray zones of the ceasefire agreement concerning the deceased hostages, and how this war is not over until the last hostage is back. And so this week, we ask Orna and Ronen Neutra, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Pastors' Point of View Ep. 379 with Dr. Andy Woods “Prophecy Update”In today's Pastors' Point of View: Peace TreatyGlobalismEurocentric NWOGlobal ReligionAre we watching prophecy unfold in real-time? The psychology of desperation is setting the stage for what Scripture predicted thousands of years ago.Israel is searching for another Cyrus—a deliverer, a protector, a guarantor of peace. Billboards across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are already declaring modern leaders as their "Cyrus the Great." But this desperate search for security reveals something deeper: a nation primed to embrace a false peace that won't last.Daniel 9:27 tells us the tribulation period will begin with a treaty between the Antichrist and Israel. What we're seeing today isn't just politics—it's prophetic preparation. From peace deals that Hamas openly admits are just temporary truces, to global carbon taxes pushing us toward one-world government, to interfaith dialogue merging world religions, the pieces are coming together.The Trump peace plan may have freed hostages, but it's a band-aid over a wound that won't heal until Israel receives her true King. Hamas leaders have already stated they don't even have a word for "peace"—only "truce." They're regrouping, not surrendering.Meanwhile, Europe is consolidating power, the Vatican is opening Muslim prayer rooms, and global governance is being pushed under the guise of climate crisis. Everything the Bible predicted about the end times is accelerating.But here's the hope: before the tribulation begins, the church will be removed in the rapture. Titus 2:13 calls this our "blessed hope." The world is being prepared for judgment, but believers are being prepared for glory.The signs are undeniable. The stage is set. Are you ready?#BibleProphecy #EndTimes #Daniel927 #BlessedHope #Rapture #ProphecyUpdate #Israel #GlobalGovernment #OneWorldReligion #LastDays

The Israeli military announced the ceasefire in Gaza has resumed after an attack that killed two IDF soldiers and was followed by a wave of airstrikes that according to Palestinians killed 36 people. Hamas accuses Israel of multiple ceasefire violations and said they have not been in contact with their forces in the area of the attack claiming they cannot be responsible for any 'incidents' in the area. Israel continues to press Hamas to fulfill its ceasefire role of returning the remains of all deceased hostages. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Trey Yingst, Chief Foreign Correspondent for the FOX News Channel reporting from Tel Aviv, who says until all deceased hostages are returned to their families the ceasefire seems 'incomplete'.
