Major developments are unfolding in Israel: For the first time in modern history, Jews are dancing and singing freely on the Temple Mount—following a bold move by Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu is heading to Washington on July 7th for a potentially historic meeting with the Trump Administration. On the table: sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, a Gaza ceasefire, the release of Israeli hostages, and even whispers of normalization with Syria.

Back home, Likud ministers are urging Netanyahu to apply sovereignty before the Knesset recesses on July 27th. With Hamas rejecting the latest truce and regional tensions rising—particularly from Yemen—Israel’s leaders believe the window to act is now. Are we on the verge of a pivotal shift?

Shmuel Goldman grew up in a Washington, DC, suburb, part of a traditional, if not Torah observant, family. When Shmuel was in sixth grade, the family came to Israel for a year of fun and adventure. And that’s exactly what it was … for everyone else in the family. But for Shmuel, it was the beginning of a new worldview. He knew he’d come back to Israel someday. The only question was when, and how.

Fast-forward 40-plus years, and there was Goel, with his wife Gilla waiting in line to order coffee at Makom Yaffe leCafe, an adorable and inspiring coffee spot in the northern part of Israel. As they approached the cashier to place their order, Goel couldn’t believe it. “Wait, is this guy American?!”

So what happened?

Goel sat with Shmuel at Makom Yaffe LeCafe to talk all about it.

On this week's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten shares what it was like to be stuck outside of Israel, during the 12-day Operation Rising Lion, in which Israel (and the U.S.) targeted Iran. A four-day trip to visit family and friends turned into a fifteen-day ordeal, trying to get home, as Israel came under a daily barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles. This plus all the latest news on this week's show.

Yishai and Malkah Fleisher reflect on the battle with Iran's hate regime, with Malkah filling in the perspective of the home front. Then, author Yaakov Katz brings the military perspective to the historic takedown of Iran's nuclear threat. Plus, Yishai translates Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir's words to the Israeli nation: lauding the fighters and remembering the fallen. Finally, Table Torah the Biblical story of the Spies Who Did Not Love Me, that is, they rejected God's gift of the Land of Israel.

In the wake of the twelve-day conflict with Iran, the balance of power in the Middle East is shifting in real time.The Israel summit in Texas was abruptly canceled. U.S. forces struck deep into Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. And new reports reveal Mossad’s covert reach with hundreds of Israeli operatives embedded inside Iran.

Add to that the sudden disappearance of Ayatollah Khamenei and whispers of internal collapse in Tehran, and it’s clear: this story is far from over.

But the battle isn’t just military. On the political front, Trump’s explosive statement calling for Netanyahu’s trial to be dropped is sending shock-waves through both American and Israel.

In this episode, we dive deep into the strategic, political, and spiritual tremors shaking the region. We break down what’s unfolding—and what might come next.

Eve Harow from the Judean Hills on keeping faith and recognizing resilience in an insane reality.
