President Trump met with Netanyahu in the White House on Monday to discuss the plan to end the Gaza war.

Today’s Episode:
On Monday, September 29, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are set to meet at the White House. Because of this potentially game-changing meeting, we decided to postpone our usual Monday episode by a day so that we can delve into all that’s revealed (or not) tomorrow in Washington D.C. Instead we’re releasing a brief news-update to keep listeners up-to-date on the Israel-related news that’s unfolded over the past few days. Be sure to catch the next Call me Back episode, which we’ll tape shortly after Monday’s White House meeting.

Today’s Episode:
Over the past few days, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and several other countries formally recognized a Palestinian State at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The practical implications of this “diplomatic wave” are yet to be seen, but the Israeli Government is taking the move seriously, as many interpret Palestinian recognition as a reward for Hamas’ terrorism. Meanwhile, the IDF continues its operations in Gaza City. To discuss the implications of recognizing Palestinian statehood and the evolving situation in Gaza, Dan was joined by Ark Media contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal.

Today’s Episode:
The United Nations is set to recognize a Palestinian state on Monday. But what does that actually mean? What kind of legal power will this recognition hold? And will Hamas see it as a victory, cementing Oct. 7 as Palestinian independence day? Tal Becker, vice president of Hartman Institute in Jerusalem and a multi-decade veteran of Israeli peace process teams, joins Dan to discuss the dangers of performative diplomacy and the moral hazard of an unconditional recognition of Palestinian statehood.
Tal was previously a diplomatic advisor to numerous Israeli governments, and a legal advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and to the IDF.

Today’s Episode:
On Monday night, the IDF began its highly anticipated incursion into Gaza City, which has been largely untouched by Israel until recent days. The IDF announced that 40% of Gaza City’s roughly one million people have already evacuated. Meanwhile, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum declared a “state of emergency” amid fears that Israel’s invasion of Gaza City jeopardizes the remaining 48 hostages.
On today’s episode, we are joined by Ark Media Contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal to discuss this major development. What does the IDF’s incursion into Gaza City mean for the future of the war, the fate of the hostages, and Israel’s global standing?

Today’s Episode:
On Tuesday, the Israeli Airforce carried out strikes on a building in Doha, Qatar, where Hamas’s top leaders were believed to be gathered to discuss the recent American Gaza ceasefire proposal. As of now, it seems unlikely that Israel managed to eliminate its targets.
Qatar called the attack a “violation of all laws and norms.” Other Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, and Turkey strongly condemned the attack as well. President Trump gave somewhat contradictory statements on the topic, expressing disapproval at Israel’s decision while calling it an opportunity for peace.
Joining us to discuss how the strike and its possible results impacts Israel’s position in the Gaza war and the region, we were joined by Ark Media Contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal and Call me Back Veteran Ronen Bergman.
00:00 Introduction
03:41 What do we know so far about the Doha attack?
10:11 How Israel can measure success
13:43 What was Israel’s goal?
18:58 Did the US know about the attack in advance?
24:41 This attack sends a message
25:59 How the assassination attempt failed
27:39 What is Israel’s strategy?
28:56 The implications for Israel’s relationship with the Gulf
34:13 When will we know if Hamas leaders were killed?

We will cover this major development at length in our Thursday episode with Amit and Nadav. Until then, Dan sent a voice memo to Ark Media contributors Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal, asking: what now? How has Israel’s strike on Qatar changed the landscape for the war in Gaza?

Today’s Episode:
October 7, 2023 was Israel’s biggest security failure since the country’s founding. Over the past twenty-three months, we’ve discovered a lot about how Hamas terrorists managed to penetrate deep into Israel’s borders. But there’s still much the public does not yet know or understand.
On today’s episode we are joined by Israeli journalist Yaakov Katz to discuss how a nation known worldwide for its security capabilities failed so monumentally on October 7. Yaakov is the former editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post and founder of the Middle East American Dialogue, a conference that brings together American and Middle Eastern leaders.
