Episode Details

Broadcast from the JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem, this episode explores Israel’s growing dilemma: how to respond to renewed U.S.-Iran negotiations under President Trump without jeopardizing national security or the special U.S.-Israel alliance. JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev—both former advisers at the Prime Minister’s Office—analyze Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the summit, dissect his public and private messaging on Iran and examine the stark contrast between diplomatic restraint and military urgency.
