- Boy George has played Israel many times, but since October 7 he’s become one of the country’s most vocal celebrity supporters. Now he’s released “We Will Dance Again,” a song named for the phrase that became the rallying cry of Nova festival survivors, and it tackles the war’s fiercest debates from its very first line.

- Boy George visits the Nova massacre site, a Netflix rabbi sparks controversy over Gaza, and a festival under rocket fire turns 25. Critic Hannah Brown reviews.
Boy George has been one of the most outspoken pop stars in support of Israel since October 7. Hannah Brown was with him when he toured the Nova festival site for the first time, alongside former hostage Omer Shem Tov. She explains how his song “We Will Dance Again” took on the controversy from its very first line. She also gives her honest verdict on whether it’s actually a good song.
Then, she turns to Netflix’s "Nobody Wants This," where Adam Brody’s Gaza “genocide” remark and Tovah Feldshuh’s sharp response brought politics into a show that had deliberately avoided it. Brown expected to struggle with the new season. Instead, she binged it.
The episode then heads south to Sderot, where the Cinema South Festival marks 25 years despite two decades of rocket fire. Hannah rec...

- Democrats swept the US midterms, and VP JD Vance cited the Israel relationship as a factor in the GOP loss. Is unconditional US support for Israel ending?
On this week’s Deep Dive, host Jacob Laznik and The Jerusalem Post’s Shir Perets unpack what the blue wave means for Israel. They look at the newly elected anti-Israel voices, President Trump’s announcement that US aid will end at the close of 2026, and the shift inside the Republican Party. Perets pushes back on the panic: “It’s not that Texas is blue and now Israel gets no weapons forever.” Laznik argues the bigger warning comes from inside the GOP: “The sitting vice president saying, if we want to win elections, we need to change our relationship with Israel. That is very concerning to me.”
The conversation goes beyond aid figures. It covers the rhetoric worrying American Jewish voters, what being “pro-Israel” now costs a Democratic candidate, and whether Israel’s government bet too ...

- Before soldiers breach a building, a drone goes in first. XTEND co-founder and CTO Rubi Liani explains how a drone racing hobby became battlefield technology.
On the Jerusalem Post’s Defense and Tech Podcast, Liani tells host Anna Ahronheim how XTEND started in 2018 as a VR gaming company. It turned to defense when Hamas began launching incendiary kites and balloons over the Gaza border. Liani says the team “look[ed] at it as a game. Let’s pop the balloons,” and won its first contract about three weeks after showing what it could do. He then sets out XTEND’s main bet: an operating system that works like an app store for military robots. He insists that autonomy will not replace human judgment. “Every discrete operation needs to be by human,” he says. “Nothing can happen by itself.”
Liani also describes what real combat taught the company. AI trained to recognize doors fails when the doors no longer look like doors. Dust and weather pile up pr...

- Former UN torture rapporteur Dr. Alice Jill Edwards says two UN colleagues deliberately failed to document October 7, three years on.
In this interview with Jerusalem Post diplomatic correspondent Amichai Stein, Edwards explains why she went public after leaving her UN post. Few UN experts examined the Hamas-led attack beyond the first months after it, she says, and two fellow special rapporteurs never seriously engaged with it. “I think that was deliberate, and I still think it is deliberate,” she says. She points to the numbers behind her charge that the UN is fixated on Israel. Special rapporteurs have sent around 50 communications concerning Israel since October 7, she says, compared with about 10 on Sudan, a far longer conflict. She also describes efforts to water down her letter on the October 7 allegations and to discourage colleagues from signing it. “There was, and there is still, I think, an atmosphere of bullying and intimidation,” she says.

Discovered in 2018-2019 excavations, the 18-by-18-meter structure overlooked a key road and was likely built to guard Canaanites from foreign incursions, possibly by Philistines. The site now offers accessible paths, parking, and a picnic area.

- Description
- Likud leads, Arab parties hit a record 19 seats, and no one has 61. Jerusalem Post's Knesset correspondent Keshet Neev unpacks Israel’s post-election deadlock.
With about 97% of votes counted, the results upended months of polling. Netanyahu’s Likud is the largest party, and his bloc leads 53 to 48. Even so, no coalition adds up. Record Arab turnout raised the effective threshold and pushed every new small party out of the Knesset. Meanwhile, the Arab parties are signaling a willingness to use their leverage to unseat Netanyahu without their traditional preconditions. Keshet Neev and host Jacob Laznik walk through each scenario: a unity government with Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett, a minority government, or a third outcome neither bloc wants. “Anyone who says they know what’s going to happen is lying,” Laznik says.
The week grew more complicated when it emerged that the Shin Bet is examining suspected foreign funding, reportedly linked to Qatar ...

- We asked whether it should again mediate on matters involving Israel. Netanyahu told the Post that he had accused Doha of spreading hatred of the Jewish state; Israel had nevertheless relied on its role in hostage negotiations.
He maintained that Israel used Qatar because the United States did. He then accused it of driving antisemitism and anti-Zionism in American universities and on social media. “Qatar was one of the engines of our vilification, only one.”

- Netanyahu on US pressure: 'You bow your head, you're dead' | Exclusive

- Description
- Six days before Israel's October 27 election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sits down with The Jerusalem Post at 2:14 a.m. on his 77th birthday.
Netanyahu says Israeli military intelligence and the Mossad have warned that Iran and its proxies are weighing ways to influence the vote.
He describes Operations Rising Lion and Roaring Lion as having done "ninety percent of the job" against Tehran's nuclear and missile programs, and he warns that the regime is trying to rebuild them.
The prime minister addresses President Trump's surprise endorsement, which he says he did not know was coming, and why Vice President JD Vance declined to offer one. On pressure from a potentially less friendly Washington, he is blunt: "If you bow your head, you're dead."
Netanyahu also lays out the four principles he says any coalition partner must accept, starting with no Palestinian state. He calls settler vigilantism "wrong" and damaging to Israel abr...

- Description
- With less than a week until Israelis vote, a leading election pollster argues Netanyahu isn't trying to win, he's trying not to lose.
Fresh off a Trump endorsement and a late blitz of Israeli TV interviews, Netanyahu is making his final push. But JPPI senior fellow and Channel 13 pollster Shmuel Rosner tells Deep Dive's host, Jacob Laznik, that most voters made up their minds long ago, shaped by the judicial overhaul, October 7 and years of war.
"Netanyahu doesn't expect a win. He expects not to lose," he says, describing a defensive strategy designed to deny the opposition a workable coalition and force yet another election.
The conversation covers the race to 61 seats and the odds of a minority or unity government, including the scenario in which President Herzog brokers a plea deal that lets Netanyahu step aside.
He also addresses whether a new round with Iran could reshape the vote, why Trump endorses allies like Netanyahu and O...

- Description
- Gil Hoffman, the author of The Blood Libel Machine and former executive director of HonestReporting, argues that you shouldn't cancel your New York Times subscription, but rather read their articles on Israel more closely. Spot the errors, then send them to media watchdogs or rival outlets so they get corrected. That, he says, is how accountability on the media battlefield is won.

- Israel recovered fast on the battlefield but kept losing the narrative war, says former HonestReporting executive director Gil Hoffman.
In a wide-ranging conversation with Jerusalem Post senior international affairs correspondent Mathilda Heller, Hoffman discusses his new book, The Blood Libel Machine. He argues that Hamas planned October 7 to shape global public opinion, and that Israel entered the war with no plan for the media front.
"Every day since October 7 has become easier on the military battlefield," he says. "Every day since October 7th has gotten progressively harder" in the narrative war. On Israel's own communications effort, his verdict is blunt: "They really just didn't even try."
Hoffman spent nearly 24 years covering Israeli politics for The Jerusalem Post, and he insists this is not an anti-media book. He discusses the Gaza hospital blast reporting and the reliance on Gaza-based sources. He also covers the role of NGOs and UN b...

- Description
- Israel's Education Minister Yoav Kisch says Likud wants an October 7 investigation, just not one appointed by Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit.
In this Jerusalem Post interview, recorded days before Israel's October 27 election, the senior Likud minister argues that half the country would reject a state commission of inquiry, and proposes instead a bipartisan national committee modeled on the US 9/11 Commission.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu can be the first one to be checked," Kisch says, "but it has to be with a committee that is not biased by any side."
He frames the election as a binary choice between a Netanyahu-led right-wing government and an opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot that, he argues, cannot reach 61 seats without the Arab parties, a claim Eisenkot has rejected.
Kisch also defends his record running Israel's schools through the war, from reopening classes for evacuees within weeks to opening four new medical faculties. ...
