The JPost Podcast

Jerusalem Post Editor-in-Chief Yaakov Katz and Diplomatic Correspondent Lahav Harkov sit down this week to discuss the latest news around Israel in the Jewish world on this week's edition of The Jerusalem Post Podcast. On this week's episode, Katz and Harkov discuss the bombshell Prime Minister Naftali Bennett dropped on the Knesset floor earlier this week, claiming that the Mossad carried out an operation to find the remains and information about Israeli Air Force Navigator Ron Arad, who went missing over Lebanon in 1986 after he was forced to eject from his aircraft after it took on damage. As Israel tries to piece the puzzle together of what exactly happened and why Bennett chose to share this information now, Katz and Harkov sift through the latest revelations coming out from across the world, giving their own opinions and expertise on the matter. Later on in the episode, the duo speak with former AIPAC executive Johnathan Kessler about his organization called Heart of a Nation and its mission to find new ways to bring progressives into the Israeli conversation.  To wrap things up, Katz and Harkov chat with the Post's Palestinian Affairs Correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh to talk about the wave of violence and murders that have been sweeping across Israel's Arab sector.

The Jerusalem Post presents its first Health & Wellness podcast, hosted by Head of Strategy and Senior Health Analyst Maayan Hoffman together with Health and Archeology correspondent Rossella Tercatin. In this week's edition, the duo takes on the current coronavirus situation in Israel. "Is Delta really over?" they ask. And how is Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's government doing compared to the previous adminsitration?  They talk about emerging medical research and treatments for the virus and for other health ailments.  Then, in a short interview with Dr. Shahar Cohen, the founder and CEO of Nayacure Labs, they learn about "off-the-shelf" and "on-demand" organs. Finally, they wrap up with a look at the best winter snacks to keep you energized while on the go.    Have you visited our new Health & Wellness portal?

Will he talk about Hamas, Iran or the push to block replenishment of the Iron Dome System by the US Congress? How will Bennett's performance compare to Netanyahu's?Katz and Harkov also evaluate the decision not to fund the Iron Dome. Is this just a technical blip, as Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has said, or something far more severe for the defense of the Jewish State?

They discuss the state evangelical Christian support for Israel, asking whether it has wavered with the passing of the baton from Benjamin Netanyahu to Bennett. Rosenberg was first interviewed by The Jerusalem Post last month >> Discover all of this and more in this week's episode of The Jerusalem Post Podcast.In this episode, you will get:> Celebrate Sukkot in Israel> A look at what could happen during Bennett's upcoming address at the United Nations> An evaluation of whether US support for Israel is wavering> A talk with a prominent Evangelical leader   Photo credit: Defense Ministry Spokesperson
