Episode Details

US military advisers are now on the ground in Saudi Arabia, bolstering efforts against Iran-backed Houthis who have intensified attacks and seized a key Yemeni port. President Trump defends his decision to go to war with Iran, asserting it was necessary to prevent nuclear weapons and will conclude after the upcoming US midterm elections. Ahead of the 25th anniversary of September 11th, antisemitic conspiracy theories blaming Jews and Israel for the attacks are resurfacing across social media platforms. Also, tensions rise in Bnei Brak over religious-secular disputes and the impact of the ongoing conflict is felt domestically as Israel approaches election season.
