Episode Details

In this special episode of Israel Undiplomatic, Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum sit down with John Podhoretz, editor-in-chief of Commentary, to unpack what Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City mayor signals for American Jewry, Israel and U.S. politics. They explore the “Corbynization” of the Democratic Party, the normalization of anti-Zionism in America’s most Jewish city and how bipartisan support for Israel is fraying, while warning that rising populist currents on both left and right could reshape U.S.–Israel relations. A timely, urgent conversation on what comes next for New York, American Jews and Israel.
