“Israel Undiplomatic” with Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, Ep. 22

Ruthie Blum, Mark Regev
(Oct. 1, 2024 / JNS)

Join us for a special Rosh Hashanah episode of “Israel Undiplomatic” with the audacious Ruthie Blum (JNS senior contributing editor) and the very measured Mark Regev (former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom)! Both served as former advisers at the Prime Minister’s Office.

They are discussing (and celebrating) Israel’s recent wins and analyzing what we should look for in the coming days as Israel pushes back against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
