What does the future of the Jewish world look like as Israel fights for victory over Hamas and the Diaspora faces new challenges?
Gabe Groisman, a Jewish communal leader and the former mayor of Bal Harbour, Fla., sits down with Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs, Amichai Chikli, for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of global Jewry, Israel’s war goals and shifting alliances around the world.
Broadcast from the JNS studios in Jerusalem, Groisman and Chikli tackle the withdrawal of New York City Mayor Eric Adams from the race in November, and the rise of anti-Israel candidate Zohran Mamdani. They explore how this political shift could reshape Jewish life in America’s largest city. Chikli warns of the dangers of rising antisemitism, a hostile climate for Zionist organizations in the United States and the possibility of mass Jewish migration out of New York.
The discussion also dives into U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed 20-point peace plan; Iran’s nuclear program; the growing axis between Iran, Russia, China, North Korea and Turkey; and why Turkey’s support for Hamas and its NATO membership pose a dangerous paradox.
