In this episode, Daniella and Yossi Alpher record remotely in the middle of the war with Iran after Yossi suffers a mild heart attack and undergoes emergency catheterization under missile alerts. From the hospital, the stairwell, and even the side of the road, they reflect on how Israel and Iran went from quiet partners to bitter enemies, the deeper Persian-Arab rivalry shaping the region, and why some of the war’s central assumptions are failing. They end with a grimly ordinary wartime question: how do you host Passover when your safe room has to fit 15 people?
