WATCH: “Jerusalem Minute” with Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten, Ep. 64

JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman reports from Washington, D.C., after covering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House for a meeting with President Donald Trump.

JNS Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten joins Traiman to break down the major issues shaping Israel and the world right now:

  • Netanyahu’s second Oval Office meeting with Trump

  • U.S. tariffs on Israeli goods and Netanyahu’s diplomatic response

  • Trump’s plans for direct Iran talks and the looming threat of military action

  • The humanitarian and security crisis in Gaza and the hostage negotiations

  • Trump’s proposal for voluntary Palestinian emigration from the Gaza Strip and future rebuilding plans

  • Turkey’s growing influence in Syria—and Trump’s offer to mediate between Israel and Turkey

  • Hungary’s move to exit the International Criminal Court in The Hague and its unwavering support for Israel

From Washington to Jerusalem to Budapest, the two connect the dots on the latest geopolitical moves that could shape Israel’s future and the stability of the Middle East.
