- Presidential historian Gil Troy returns to examine the aftermath of the Israel-Iran conflict, Donald Trump’s decision to end the fighting, Iran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and the uncertain future of the US-Israel relationship.
In this hopeful conversation with host Jacob Laznik, Gil explains why declaring victory or defeat may be premature. He discusses Israel and America’s military achievements, the lack of a clearly defined endgame, concerns surrounding negotiations with Iran and the political pressures that could shape Trump’s next move.
The conversation also explores growing anti-Israel sentiment in American politics, misconceptions surrounding US support for Israel and why Gil describes Israel as America’s “DIY and ROI ally.”

- Description
- Doron Almog was the first Israeli soldier to land at Entebbe in 1976. Now, 50 years later, he chairs the Jewish Agency and sees history repeating.
In this rare interview, Almog draws direct lines between three defining experiences: leading the 1976 Entebbe rescue with only 12 hours of preparation; raising a severely disabled son whom he calls "my greatest teacher" and for whom he built a village of 3,000 residents in southern Israel; and now stewanding the Jewish Agency's global response to the post-October 7 wave of antisemitism.
He describes his son's village as "a social Entebbe," a rescue from the captivity of stigma, and argues that the same ethic of mutual responsibility that sustained Jewish people for 2,000 years is the only guarantee of Israel's survival today. "One for all, all for one," he says, "this is the secret of the existence of Jewish people."

- American businessman, analyst, and longtime US diplomatic insider Harley Lippman returns to Israel for the first time in two years to give a blunt geopolitical assessment: the US-Iran MOU shocked the system, American public opinion has flipped against Israel, and three converging forces: media optics, far-left ideology, and Qatari money, are driving a crisis that didn't exist five years ago.
Lippman, who has met with world leaders including Erdogan, offers a rare two-sided analysis of the Trump administration's ceasefire deal with Iran: the pessimistic case that Israel was sold out, and the optimistic case that Trump is managing midterm politics before pivoting. He argues Iran "outmaneuvered everybody" by closing the Strait of Hormuz and warns that Turkey may actually be a greater regional danger than Iran, a point that surprises even his interviewer, Jerusalem Post's editor-in-chief Zvika Klein.

- Former NSA Director and US Cyber Command chief Admiral Mike Rogers warns that the Iran ceasefire has resolved none of the underlying threats, missiles, proxies, or the nuclear program, and that Iran's Revolutionary Guard is now more powerful and more aggressive than before the conflict began.
Admiral Rogers, who led both the NSA and US Cyber Command as a four-star Navy admiral before moving to the private sector with Team8 and Aurelius Capital, delivers a sobering assessment: the ceasefire bought time but solved nothing. On Iran's posture, he argues that the war produced the opposite of what the US and Israel hoped; rather than deterring Tehran, it has convinced the Revolutionary Guard to double down. "The takeaway is to be more aggressive," he explains of the IRGC's internal argument. He also flags a new and underappreciated threat: Iran now understands it holds an economic weapon in its ability to disrupt Gulf commercial shipping, and will make that a foundational elemen...

Tucker, who has visited Israel nine times since October 7, 2023, sat down with the Jerusalem Post ahead of the opening ceremony to discuss what this moment means for the global Jewish community. "We truly do need this now more than ever," she said, explaining why she sees the Maccabiah as a direct counter-narrative to what she calls media distortion of Israel's image. She'll be performing her new single "We're Not Strangers," a unity anthem whose lyrics reflect the divisions she's witnessed both in Israel and across the world.
Tucker's connection to Israel runs deep: her grandparents' experience as Holocaust survivors shaped her belief in Israel's significance, and it was that personal history that drove her to begin posting about the conflict on social media after October 7, e...

- The US and Iran finalized phase one of talks this week. Israel was not in the room.
In this episode of The Deep Dive, Shifra Jacobs (filling in for Jacob Laznik) is joined by Ezra Taylor, The Jerusalem Post's social media manager, for a roundup of a week that may shape the region for years. They unpack what the US-Iran deal actually contains, oil waivers, $12 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets, a reported $300 billion reconstruction fund, and Taylor's central argument that the deal makes the next war with Iran more likely, not less. They walk through research showing Hezbollah's October-7-style plans for the northern border have existed in broadcast form since at least 2012. Then they pivot to a string of antisemitic incidents across continents, Berlin, Haarlem, Manchester, Montreal, and what it tells us about a climate political leaders are still struggling to name.

Twenty-three years later, the organization he founded, Leket Israel, employs 180 people, mobilizes more than 100,000 volunteers a year, and operates as the country's national food bank.

Moving forward, Gitler talks about how the organization pivoted after October 7 from rescuing food from farmers to keeping those same farmers in business with volunteer brigades, a loan fund, and direct emergency purchases.
