- You can't separate Iran from Hezbollah. Last night proved it

- Description
- Two months after the Iran war ended, Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel again last night. Houthi missiles came in from Yemen. Israel struck Iranian energy storage sites overnight. Sirens went off across central Israel and one missile hit the West Bank.
In this episode of the Jerusalem Dispatch, recorded hours after the attack, hosts Calev Ben-David and Ruth Marks Eglash make the argument the past 24 hours made unavoidable: you cannot decouple Iran from Hezbollah, and the Trump administration's effort to do exactly that is what put Israel back under fire.
They also unpack the reported rupture in the Trump-Netanyahu relationship, the House War Powers Act vote that saw Republicans break with the president, and what Israelis actually need to hear from their leadership before the next round.

- Behind the scenes, the EU is Israel's largest trade partner, 32% of its merchandise trade and the single biggest funder of Israeli science.
In public, 46% of EU institutional statements about Israel since October 7 are negative.
In this episode of The Deep Dive, host Jacob Laznik previews findings from a JPPI study with Prof. Sharon Pardo, Jean Monnet Chair of European Studies at Ben-Gurion University.
After analyzing 24,000 EU statements, Pardo's team found a sharp gap: harsh public criticism of Israel from EU institutions, paired with continued quiet cooperation from EU member states. By comparison, statements about Qatar, even through the 2022 "Qatargate" bribery scandal, ran 66% positive.
Pardo argues European Jewish communities are paying the price for what he calls Israel's "megaphone diplomacy" with the EU, and that Israel has spent three years deserting the relationship it can least afford to lose.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Chmelnik reveals that the Iron Dome was built on what we now call machine learning long before the term existed, and that she would not redesign a single component today. She explains how her startup, Moonshot Space, is developing a kinetic launch system: ground-based electromagnetic acceleration that pushes payloads to orbit without rockets, cutting launch costs dramatically.
"We want to be the FedEx to space," she says. On Israel's strategic future, her warning is blunt: if Israel fails to plant a flag on the moon, it risks becoming geopolitically irrelevant: "We will not be a country."

Speaking on June 1, 2026, Lauder called for a dedicated government communications agency to counter the daily barrage of disinformation targeting the Jewish state, and urged Diaspora Jews to join the fight as active partners.
Lauder cited fabricated UN casualty figures, false hospital bombing reports, and antisemitic smears as evidence that Israel's enemies are winning the narrative war by default. "As good as Israel is militarily, that's how bad it is on PR," he said. "When Israel is hit with lies, Israel should hit back twice as hard."

In this episode of The Deep Dive, host Jacob Laznik talks with Yisrael Klitsner, JPPI fellow, former Diaspora Affairs Advisor to PM Bennett, and former AIPAC strategic engagement director, about whether Israel can run an election in the middle of a two-front war, and whether the US-Israel bond survives the aftermath.
Klitsner argues the campaign comes down to "security, security, security," that Netanyahu "single-handedly made Ben-Gvir who he is," and that the widening rift with Diaspora Jewry now boils down to one message from Israel's American partners: "first, do no harm."

- Iran has struck 37 commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and ships are now going dark at a rate 600% higher than before. Windward CEO Ami Daniel, who nearly died when Hezbollah hit his Navy ship in 2006, explains what's really happening at sea.
Recorded as Iran's "second war" reshapes the maritime map, Daniel walks through the data his company is showing to the White House, governments, and shipping giants daily. "Nobody can hide. I don't think you can hide anymore," he tells host Anna Ahronheim, describing how 30-centimeter-resolution satellites and AI fusion have ended the era of dark vessels. He also breaks down Russia's 2,100-ship "shadow fleet" — up from roughly zero four years ago — and warns that the world's most ignored maritime risk isn't oil, it's underwater infrastructure.

- Description
- The Iran war isn't over — and the deal taking shape may already be a loss for Israel.
In this Jerusalem Dispatch episode, Calev Ben-David and Ruth Marks Eglash, editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Report, take stock of where Israel actually stands. Ben-David argues the emerging US–Iran agreement looks like a slightly firmer version of the 2015 Obama deal — light on Iran's ballistic missiles, silent on its proxies, and damagingly tied to Israel's unresolved conflict with Hezbollah.
From the reported plan to install Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran's leader to the Kurdish-arming initiative Trump confirmed and cancelled, to Hezbollah drones killing IDF soldiers in south Lebanon and the fishing nets now strung over Israeli tanks, to the election that everyone is bracing for and Ben-Gvir's flotilla detention video.
