Bibi’s war strategy you shouldn’t miss

“Jerusalem Minute” with Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten, Ep. 37

After months of being denounced as rudderless by the Israeli left and their allies overseas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to reshape the Middle East is starting to take form.

Taking out Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and other terrorist tyrants across the region seems only the beginning. In fact, every day brings with it new surprises that all point towards the Israeli leader’s original vision to restore order in this ever-volatile neighborhood.

Join JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman and Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten as they offer an update on the situation.

They also discuss the aftermath of Nasrallah’s demise; Israeli security concepts that are being dismantled one by one; Netanyahu’s defiant address to the U.N. General Assembly; diplomatic efforts to reach a peaceful resolution in Lebanon; and internal Israeli political changes.
