Inside phase three of the Gaza war

“Jerusalem Minute” with Alex Traiman and Lidar Gravé-Lazi, Ep. 2

As Israel moves into the next phase of the Gaza war, co-hosts Alex Traiman and Lidar Gravé-Lazi break down what that means militarily and strategically for Israel.

They ask: What are the strategic goals of the IDF in southern Gaza?

They also interview Ophir Falk, foreign-policy adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to understand what is going on inside the War cabinet.

For example, will and should Israel give in to international pressure for a ceasefire? Can Hezbollah, entrenched in Southern Lebanon to Israel’s north, and the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen be contained? And what can be done about rising antisemitism on U.S. college campuses?
