Join Marc Schulman from Tel Aviv for an insightful analysis of current Israeli and global developments on June 6th. This episode covers Israel's enforcement of the Lebanon ceasefire through targeted strikes on Hezbollah positions in Beirut, the complex situation in Gaza including Israel's controversial support for non-Hamas militias, and the ongoing political crisis over ultra-Orthodox military draft exemptions that threatens to bring down Netanyahu's government. Marc also examines the strategic opportunities Israel is missing with Syria and Lebanon due to lack of creative diplomacy, discusses the American political landscape including Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and its deficit implications, and highlights the rapid evolution of AI technology through the competitive race between OpenAI and Anthropic. With his characteristic blend of historical perspective and current analysis, Marc provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of how domestic pressures continue to shape Israeli foreign policy, while offering candid assessments of the country's strategic challenges and missed opportunities in an increasingly complex Middle Eastern landscape.
