- Is Israel really violating international law in the war against Hamas?
The Biden administration, the EU, the UN, Arab nations and others have begun to wage a campaign to restrain Israel’s efforts to destroy Hamas in Gaza. The campaign is based on allegations that there is a contradiction between Israel’s military operations and the laws of war.
To understand the nature of these claims, and what the laws of war require from Israel, as well as from the nations waging this campaign against Israel, Caroline spoke with Prof Avi Bell. Bell is a world expert on the laws of war and international humanitarian law.

- A complete rundown of the first 24 hours of an unprecedented, multi-pronged Hamas attack that has left over 1,000 killed, thousands injured, and at least 100 held hostage. How did Hamas keep the attack under wraps, and then penetrate one of the world's securest and most surveilled borders?
How will Israel respond? Will Israel find itself in a multifront war, potentially with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon? Will Israel attack Iran?
A look at some of the factors leading up to the Simchat Torah holiday attack, including: striking similarities to the Yom Kippur War, nearly 50 years earlier to the day; 30 years since the signing of the ill-fated Oslo Accords; 18 years after Israel's full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

- In this week’s episode of Top Story, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin speaks about events in Tel Aviv over Yom Kippur in which secular “pro-democracy” protesters disrupted a prayer service in Dizengoff Square. According to Tobin the problem is not just the intolerance it displayed but the way it illustrated the hypocrisy of Israel’s Supreme Court.
Tobin pointed out the court has intervened in the past to protect the right of non-Orthodox women to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, whether or not it conformed to the traditions of the place. But in Tel Aviv, it inexplicably upheld the legality of a municipal statute that for all intents and purposes banned Orthodox Jewish prayer in public spaces without any concerns for the rights of individuals to practice their faith.
