Sara Hirschhorn, Miriam Herschlag and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

—Out of Phase—

With the stalled ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas giving way to the emergence of the mysterious “Witkoff Plan,” what might (and should) happen next?

—Commission Perdition—

What should we make of the controversy surrounding Prime Minister Netanyahu’s proposed “Egalitarian State Commission of Inquiry” into the October 7 attacks?

All this and the centenary of Israel’s greatest “Bible Reciter”, plus new, sad music from Eran Tzur.
