Is Israel being prevented from winning the war?

“Israel Undiplomatic” with Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, Ep. 2

As Israel commemorates fallen soldiers and victims of terror, and celebrates its survival, many are asking themselves where the fight against Hamas terrorism is heading.

Is Israel losing the war in Gaza? Are those inside and outside the country preventing the chances for victory?

Join JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and Ambassador Mark Regev as they duke it out over the progress of the war in Gaza, and the extent to which the Jewish state’s allies and the Israeli left keep trying to hinder victory.

Check out the new JNS TV show “Israel Undiplomatic.”
