Everything wrong with the Trump-Harris debate

“Israel Undiplomatic” with Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, Ep. 19

Ruthie Blum, Mark Regev
(Sept. 11, 2024 / JNS)

In this episode of “Israel Undiplomatic,” JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom—both former advisers at the Prime Minister’s Office—discuss the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks; the recent presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris; and the ongoing military and political conflicts in the Jewish state.

Has the world forgotten the lessons of 9/11? Is Trump or Harris better suited to help Jerusalem face Islamic terrorists in the region, including Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas? Will Israel be lost among the many other issues Americans face in this heated election season?

All this and more on “Israel Undiplomatic!”
