Podcasts about West Bank

In the third and final episode of our series on religious Zionism, Noam Weissman explores how every major debate within religious Zionism, from West Bank settlements and the Haredi draft to the relationship between faith, ethics, and nationalism, leads back to Rav Abraham Isaac Kook. Noam is joined by scholar Yehudah Mirsky, author of Rav Kook: Mystic in a Time of Revolution, to discuss the mystic, chief rabbi, and foundational thinker whose complex legacy continues to shape Israeli religious and political life. This episode is sponsored by Jewish Lives, a prize-winning series of biographies from Yale University Press.

As a wave of euphoria and relief sweeps Israel, following the attempted - and foiled - hijacking of Flight FZ1073, Yonit and Jonathan delve deep into the story and its implications. They discuss the courage and ingenuity of the passengers who took on a co-pilot apparently bent on causing the mass death of a plane full of Israelis, what the episode says about the character of the country - and what its impact might be on this month's all-important elections. Plus: they assess a failed effort to unite the opposition as they seek to eject Benjamin Netanyahu from office, ongoing violence in the West Bank and a world that increasingly refuses to shake Israel by the hand.

French President Emmanuel Macron made an extraordinary claim at the United Nations: Hamas has “never been active in the West Bank”, Judea and Samaria.That claim is a total lie, contradicted by Hamas's documented history of terrorist networks and attacks in Judea and Samaria. But Macron's statement is only the beginning of this story.In this video, Avi Abelow examines the much bigger historical and ideological questions surrounding the Palestinian national movement, the PLO, Yasser Arafat and the Soviet Union.Former Romanian intelligence chief and Soviet-bloc defector Ion Mihai Pacepa made explosive claims about the KGB's role in creating and supporting the PLO, shaping its international image and grooming Arafat as its leader. Pacepa even claimed Soviet intelligence helped reconstruct Arafat's biography and transform the Palestinian cause into a Soviet-style “national liberation” struggle. And that raises a question Western leaders rarely confront:How much did Soviet political warfare contribute to the international narrative surrounding Israel and the Palestinians?The video also examines the Palestinian Authority, its education system, payments connected to imprisoned and deceased Palestinians involved in attacks, and the continuing ideological struggle over Israel's legitimacy.Macron's statement about Hamas deserves scrutiny. But focusing exclusively on Hamas risks missing the much larger debate over the history, ideology and objectives of the Palestinian national movement itself.Watch. Think.

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. Just ahead of recording today's episode, headlines began surfacing about the flydubai plane that signaled an emergency during its flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv and safely landed in Saudi Arabia. IAF fighter jets were scrambled and top Israeli leadership was given emergency briefings. Horovitz discusses what is known and still unknown this morning. (As this is a developing story, please check our live blog for real-time updates.) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday condemned the massive overnight attack and riot by Jewish extremists in the West Bank the previous night. His call to prosecute the perpetrators “to the fullest extent of the law,” was joined by similar condemnations from Defense Minister Israel Katz and head of the Yesha settlement umbrella council Yisrael Ganz. All leaders, however, downplayed the attack as being perpetrated by a “small number” of people. Why the rare spate of condemnations? Also on Tuesday, Netanyahu claimed that there are concerns that “enemies” of Israel may attempt to attack it ahead of the October 27 election. By day's end, opposition leader Yair Lapid was briefed with details on the ostensible threat -- and subsequently dismissed them as fear-mongering. We hear more about the campaigns, four weeks until elections. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Today's guest is Tony Klug, a Middle East analyst who has been a senior advisor on the Middle East to the Oxford Research Group and a consultant to the Palestine Strategy Group and the Israeli Strategic Forum. In this episode, Alon and Tony discuss the plausibility of a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the feasibility of such a resolution, the past negotiations between Israel, the Palestinians, and involved Arab states, and what can be done based on the current facts on the ground. Full bio Dr Tony Klug has been a senior advisor on the Middle East to the Oxford Research Group and a consultant to the Palestine Strategy Group and the Israeli Strategic Forum. He has written extensively about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the early 1970s and was one of the first advocates of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel in the wake of the 1967 war. His PhD thesis (1979) was on the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. For many years, he worked at Amnesty International, where he headed the international development program.

Bekend verhaal, maar altijd weer verrassend. In 1880 vraagt een groep boeren in het Ierse Ballinrobe aan hun rentmeester om verlaging van de pacht omdat de aardappeloogst al twee jaar achtereen is mislukt. De rentmeester ontsteekt in grote woede en stuurt een deurwaarder om de pacht te innen. Het gevolg is grote verontwaardiging onder de bevolking en het bedrijfsleven, dat weigert nog zaken te doen met de rentmeester. Er wordt zelfs een poging tot moord op hem gedaan. De rentmeester heette Charles Boycott, en zijn naam werd als werkwoord en zelfstandig naamwoord aan vele talen toegevoegd. De boycot tegen Boycott werkte, maar hoe zit het met boycots in het algemeen? Matig, maar ongeveer een kwart heeft succes, meestal omdat de animo om mee te doen ontbreekt, of omdat het bedrijf of land dat het doelwit is de verkoop via andere kanalen voortzet. Een ding staat vast: met een boycot raak je zelden de personen tegen wie de actie is bedoeld. De boycot tegen producten uit de door Israël bezette gebieden, bijna allemaal agrarisch, treft ongetwijfeld een aantal kolonisten, maar vooral Palestijnse kwekers van dadels, avocado’s, druiven en kruiden. Bibi Netanyahu en de ministers die zijn bezettingsbeleid steunen, merken er niets van. De sancties zijn bovendien financiële peuters. De Nederlandse uitvoer naar de bezette gebieden bedraagt enkele tientallen miljoenen, de invoer nog geen 15 miljoen. De totale uitvoer naar Israël beloopt 5 miljard euro, de invoer 2 miljard, waarvan meer dan een kwart aan wapens. Het gaat dus om symboliek. En die heeft meteen grimmige vormen aangenomen. Israël wijst de diplomaten uit die Nederland in Ramallah vertegenwoordigen, Nederland geeft de Israëlische ambassadeur een diplomatieke veeg uit de pan. Van een aankomend Israëlisch vliegtuig op Schiphol werden 15 passagiers door de douane gecontroleerd op het meebrengen van spulletjes uit bezet gebied, wat in Israël leidde tot een waarschuwing voor reizen naar Nederland. Het Israëlische frame: voor het doodrijden van een zwangere vrouw krijg je in Nederland 8 maanden, op het meebrengen van doosje dadels uit de Golan of West Bank staat 6 jaar. Dat is onzin, maar zo kijkt de Israëliër naar Nederland. Het doel van de actie is het in het nauw brengen van Netanyahu en het ondermijnen van diens positie bij de verkiezingen van 27 oktober. Het navrante is dat een ruime meerderheid in Israël het met dat doel eens is. Het is jammer dat Nederland het zoekt in boycotsymboliek, en niet meer moeite doet om de contacten met de oppositie te verstevigen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than 100 Israeli settlers have attacked a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank, preventing the return of a family who'd been forced to flee their home. The Israeli army said settlers, defying a High Court order which allowed the return of the Palestinians, had hurled rocks, blocked roads and set fire to houses and vehicles in Jalud. Also: Spain's government has agreed plans to ban evictions until 2030, as it attempts to deal with a housing crisis. The proposal follows nationwide protests after an 87-year-old woman was forced to leave her home in Madrid because of a massive rent increase. The Malaysian government has started repatriating about 5000 asylum-seekers from Myanmar, including many Rohingyas, under a controversial deal agreed with Myanmar's military ruler; and, a film about social media takes another critical look at Facebook.

A comprehensive 3-0 away victory for the Republic of Ireland should have cause for celebration. Instead, it has been overshadowed by unprecedented crisis within Irish football.In the days before Ireland's Uefa Nations League fixture against Israel, players faced mounting calls from politicians, celebrities and activists to boycott the match over Israel's genocide in Gaza and its continued expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank.Behind the scenes divisions emerged within the squad, culminating in the withdrawal of second goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu and a rancorous team meeting on Saturday. In the end an anonymous vote amongst the players resulted in the decision to proceed. But the damage had been done.Sports correspondent Gavin Cooney speaks to In the News from Debrecen, Hungary. He explains the day as it unfolded, how the controversy escalated and what the fallout could mean for the future of the Rep. of Ireland team.Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Produced by Declan Conlon.

For review:1. The U.S. Army Reserve is examining whether it can provide the military's Southern Command with police forces, medical personnel and other support units within the next four months, according to an internal Army message reviewed by CBS News.2. Israel on Sunday gave Dutch diplomats serving in Ramallah seven days to return their Israeli-issued diplomatic credentials, retaliating after a Dutch ban on goods from Israeli businesses in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights went into effect.Their diplomatic privileges granted by Israel will expire at the end of that period, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced on X.3. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to the UAE today to meet with Emirati President Mohamed Bin Zayed, Channel 12 reports, citing two sources.4. Iran stood firm Sunday on its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, after US President Donald Trump rejected its proposal.Iran's plan called for a cessation of all hostilities in the Middle East, including in Lebanon, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and fulfilling conditions in the ceasefire deal that fell apart months ago.5. US President Donald Trump said Sunday that he expects talks with Iran to resume in the coming week, despite his rejection of a truce proposal put forward by Tehran.6. British police said on Sunday they had arrested five men on suspicion of “preparing a terrorist act” and offenses under the Explosives Act, and the army was examining several vehicles after security was stepped up at a British air base used by US air forces in southwest England.7. Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya said on Saturday that Hamas agreed last year to a roadmap that ultimately includes the establishment of a Palestinian state.In an interview with Qatar's Al-Araby channel, Hayya was asked about Israel's demand that Hamas disarm as part of the Gaza ceasefire, but did not directly say whether the terror group would agree to disarm.8. North Korea test launched a new weapon over the weekend that appears to be a hypersonic missile, according to photos released Tuesday by state media Korean Central News Agency.9. The first Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) KF-21 was handed over to the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) Tuesday. The KF-21 is considered a 4.5-generation fighter jet and will be equipped with a mix of indigenous and Western sensors and weapons in service, including the KGGB precision glide bomb and European MBDA Meteor air-to-air missile.

In his recent UN speech, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed settler violence in the West Bank as the work of roughly 150 “juvenile delinquents,” arguing that reports of widespread violence have been exaggerated. Human Rights Watch and other organizations, however, have documented attacks on Palestinian communities, displacement, and what they describe as state support for violent settlers. A March 2026 investigation by +972 Magazine, Local Call, and The Nation found that 152 new outposts had been established in the West Bank since October 7, with grazing operations helping settlers expand control over surrounding land. Now, there are concerns that a similar model is emerging inside Israel proper. A recent report by Oren Ziv and Baker Zoubi examined a new settler outpost near the Palestinian town of Majd Al-Krum in the Galilee. After protests, the encampment was dismantled, although the grazing operation could resume. Joining us again on Arab Talk is Oren Ziv, a photojournalist and reporter for Local Call and a founding member of The Activestills Collective, who has closely documented settler activity for years.

Andy Burnham has navigated his way through a first high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump at the UN general assembly in New York. The prime minister's aides were delighted with how the meeting went, as Trump praised the US-UK relationship and described Burnham as a ‘natural businessman'. The anticipated sticking points – the Chagos Islands, West Bank settlement sanctions and Ireland – appear not to have derailed the talks nor cast a shadow over the future relationship.

Welcome to "A Mandatory Listen," a new weekly podcast in which The Times of Israel deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan asks the big questions facing Israel and the Jewish people. For this inaugural episode, who better to ask "Is the IDF justified in picking off Hamas terrorists?" than The Times of Israel's senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. Last week, as headlines roiled world media condemning the IDF following the screening of "NAZA," which alleges Israel is using AI to commit genocide in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s determination to eliminate Hamas terrorists in the Strip. In the past several months, the IDF has conducted a series of strikes targeting Hamas operatives in Gaza. Since the October 2025 ceasefire in Gaza, the Hamas-run Health Ministry claims 1,400 Gazans -- without differentiating between Hamas operatives and civilians -- have been killed by the IDF. Rejecting the notion that “Hamas is protected” within the area it controls in Gaza, Netanyahu asserted that “we are settling accounts with these murderers who murdered our people, our daughters, our women and our children on October 7,” adding: “There are not many left because we are dealing with them.” But is this manhunt moral? Rettig Gur sets the stage for his answer with a deep dive into history and the ideological underpinnings of the Hamas terrorist organization still ruling the Gaza Strip. We then turn to what Borschel-Dan calls a "spillover" effect, in which this manhunt may allow a kernel of far-right extremist settlers to perpetrate violence against their Palestinian neighbors in the West Bank. How can Israel rid itself of what Rettig Gur labels "Jewish terrorism"?

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. Israel’s Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter's son, Neria, is hospitalized in serious condition after a car-ramming attack mowed down the reservist soldier at a checkpoint in the central West Bank yesterday. This morning, Leiter updated reporters that doctors have stabilized Neria’s condition overnight. Horovitz tells us about the groundswell of support for the ambassador, who suffered the death of his son Moshe during the war in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address the United Nations General Assembly today at 9 pm Israel time. Horovitz describes the secrecy surrounding the premier's travel arrangements and what he is likely to focus on during his address. We also hear a sampling of the anti-Israel rhetoric and allegations from world leaders this week so far. The Central Elections Committee voted Wednesday in favor of petitions to disqualify the Joint List slate — made up of Balad, Hadash, and Ta’al — altogether as well as Mansour Abbas’s Ra’am party from running in the October 27 election, effectively barring all majority Arab parties from running in the election. Horovitz weighs in on whether any of these disqualifications could be upheld by the High Court of Justice next week upon appeal. It's only five weeks until the elections and Horovitz wonders: Why hasn't the Gadi Eisenkot campaign moved into high gear? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: Son of Israel’s US envoy, a soldier, seriously hurt in car-ramming attack in West Bank; assailant shot dead Election panel disqualifies all Arab parties, in move likely to be overturned; Balad leader also barred Eisenkot does not have this election sewn up.

In its new report, The Elimination Project: Israel's Systematic Dismantling of Palestinian Collective Life in the West Bank, B'Tselem examines what it describes as a system of interconnected policies shaping Palestinian life across the West Bank. The report identifies five mechanisms: violence and intimidation, restrictions on movement, economic strangulation, political and social destruction, and ethnic cleansing and territorial takeover.

Welcome to "A Mandatory Listen," a new weekly podcast in which The Times of Israel deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan asks the big questions facing Israel and the Jewish people. For this inaugural episode, who better to ask "Is the IDF justified in picking off Hamas terrorists?" than The Times of Israel's senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. Last week, as headlines roiled world media condemning the IDF following the screening of "NAZA," which alleges Israel is using AI to commit genocide in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s determination to eliminate Hamas terrorists in the Strip. In the past several months, the IDF has conducted a series of strikes targeting Hamas operatives in Gaza. Since the October 2025 ceasefire in Gaza, the Hamas-run Health Ministry claims 1,400 Gazans -- without differentiating between Hamas operatives and civilians -- have been killed by the IDF. Rejecting the notion that “Hamas is protected” within the area it controls in Gaza, Netanyahu asserted that “we are settling accounts with these murderers who murdered our people, our daughters, our women and our children on October 7,” adding: “There are not many left because we are dealing with them.” But is this manhunt moral? Rettig Gur sets the stage for his answer with a deep dive into history and the ideological underpinnings of the Hamas terrorist organization still ruling the Gaza Strip. We then turn to what Borschel-Dan calls a "spillover" effect, in which this manhunt may allow a kernel of far-right extremist settlers to perpetrate violence against their Palestinian neighbors in the West Bank. How can Israel rid itself of what Rettig Gur labels "Jewish terrorism"?

Hisham Awartani thought he was going to die. That's what he told a police dispatcher in desperation as he lay on the ground after being shot by Jason Eaton in November 2023. Awartani and two friends, all of whom are of Palestinian descent, were walking down North Prospect Street in Burlington when Eaton, whom they did not know, stepped off his porch and began firing at them without saying anything. All three friends were wounded, but Awartani, who was 20, was the most seriously injured.A Vermont jury delivered a measure of justice this week when it convicted Eaton of three counts of attempted second-degree murder for the unprovoked shooting of the three young men. The weeklong trial included searing testimony from the survivors and the replaying of Awartani's call to 911.“There was some justice dealt, but obviously it doesn't change what happened,” Awartani told me about the verdict. Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid and Tahseen Aliahmad have been friends since childhood in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. They were classmates at a Quaker high school in Ramallah and were all attending universities in the U.S. They were on Thanksgiving break and were visiting Awartani's grandmother, who lives in Burlington.The jury delivered its verdict in under two hours and rejected Eaton's insanity defense, holding him fully responsible for his actions.The verdict offered some closure on a shocking act of violence that drew national and international attention, coming two months into the latest Israel-Hamas war.Awartani was gravely wounded in the attack. A bullet lodged in his spine, and he is now paralyzed from the chest down.Awartani told me he is grateful for the medical care he received at UVM Medical Center and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, as well as an outpouring of community support in Vermont. But he has had mixed feelings about the extensive attention to his case. “To have access to such great healthcare and then at the same time, just see the large-scale destruction and death that was happening in Palestine … that part was dissonant for me definitely.”“In Palestine, every single person who died, their life is just as rich as mine.” The death toll from the war in Gaza has topped 73,000 since Hamas forces attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. More than 1,200 Israelis were killed that day. Awartani said there is a connection between what is happening in Palestine and what happened to him. “Palestinian identity has become vilified,” he told me. “Violence against Palestinians being excused on a mass scale in Palestine … carried over to here, where simply wearing Palestinian clothing and outwardly identifying yourself as Palestinian is enough to be considered a terrorist and therefore getting shot.”The families of the three young men released a statement after the verdict. “After three years of sorrow, loss, and struggle, our families finally feel relief,” they wrote. Although Chittenden County State's Attorney Sarah George said the evidence did not support a hate crime charge, the families insist that the young men were targeted in an act of hate.They wrote, “We continue to work toward a world where hateful violence against Palestinians is called out for what it is — and stopped.”Awartani is now 23. He graduated with honors from Brown University in May with a degree in archaeology and math. He plans to return to the West Bank for a year and then pursue graduate studies, perhaps in archaeology. As a Palestinian survivor of violence, Awartani feels a special responsibility. “I've been given a voice, and I would like to use that voice to amplify other people's voices that have been silent or silenced,” he said. What gives him hope?“Being surrounded by friends and family, both in the United States and in Palestine … helps us endure and be together,” he replied.He is also encouraged by the shift in public opinion toward Palestine and the campus protests in support of Palestinian rights. “It's building political machinery that hopefully … can effect large-scale positive change both in the United States domestically and internationally.”

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. News editor Ben Sales joins host Gabriella Jacobs for today’s episode. On Sunday afternoon, a terrorist opened fire near Neve Tzuf in the West Bank, resulting in the death of Netanel Shukrun, father of six, who was buried on Monday night. On the other side of the globe, an assailant opened fire outside an Ontario synagogue during prayers on Yom Kippur eve, leaving a police officer in critical condition. Sales updates us on these two recent attacks. The fallout from the cancellation of the pro-Palestinian rapper Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour continues. Sales highlights that the amplification of Macklemore’s message following his removal exemplifies a puzzle that advocates for Israel are still struggling to figure out: how to quash anti-Israel invective without drawing even more attention to their opponents. Finally, what’s on the minds of Israeli voters and politicians? Sales notes that, though a recent poll put economics and the cost of living at the top of voters’ priorities, a cursory look at the candidates’ heated rhetoric makes it seem like the economy barely exists. We discuss why economic issues are rarely at the forefront of the political agenda in Israel and what politicians are doing to address them away from the political spotlight.

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. The Israeli military said on Friday that it was ramping up its forces on all fronts ahead of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, which starts on Sunday evening and ends on Monday night. Fabian explains what this means in practice. A Hamas commander who invaded Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip last week, the Israel Defense Forces announced Saturday, as Palestinian media reported several people killed in separate Israeli strikes across the enclave. We learn of additional targeted killings and reports of civilian fatalities alongside these strikes. Southern Lebanon saw renewed tensions over the weekend, with two IDF soldiers wounded by a Hezbollah roadside bomb and Israeli and Lebanese troops facing off near the military’s buffer zone. Fabian compares the activity in Lebanon and Gaza. Iran is rapidly advancing the reconstruction of a nuclear facility that was previously bombed by Israel, according to satellite images cited in a report Thursday by the Institute for Science and International Security. We hear Fabian's assessment of the likelihood of a third Israeli strike on the site. A senior intelligence officer who is believed to have played a key role in the failures that led to the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023, onslaught was formally dismissed from the military on Thursday, following months of deliberations over the matter. We hear why this still isn't exactly the end of the saga that includes pooh-poohing intel that could have prevented the massacre. President Isaac Herzog said Saturday evening that he had granted a pardon to Elor Azaria, a former IDF soldier convicted of killing an incapacitated Palestinian attacker in the West Bank city of Hebron in 2016, after the military opposed giving the pardon. Fabian reminds us of the controversial case and explains how the IDF opposes the presidential pardon that expunges Azaria's criminal record.
