As Hamas faces collapse, the United Nations rushes to its defense ...
In this episode, JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and former Israeli Ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev expose how the United Nations is being manipulated to prolong Hamas’s rule over Gaza.
Regev and Blum, both former advisers to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, uncover how Hamas has embedded itself within the very humanitarian infrastructure meant to aid civilians. The episode dismantles the myth of independent U.N. relief operations, revealing how international aid is being used as a lifeline to a terror regime on the brink. The hosts argue that by insisting on returning to the old U.N.-led system, global institutions are actively working to preserve Hamas’s grip on Gaza rather than dismantle it.
The conversation covers the latest developments in Gaza, the hostage crisis and U.S.-Israel diplomacy. They examine the diverging Mideast strategies of the Biden and Trump administrations, particularly a controversial hostage deal and ceasefire plan reportedly backed by current Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff. The episode also draws a critical parallel with Iran—another collapsing regime given a lifeline by Western hesitation and naivety.
Topics covered:
- How Hamas controls UN aid networks in Gaza
- Why the UN is resisting new U.S.-Israel aid models
- The hostage negotiations and ceasefire controversy
- Iran’s strategic weakness and nuclear threat
