Mayor of Efrat: The West Bank is a powder keg

“Our Middle East: An Insider’s View” with Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh, and guest Oded Revivi

JCPA president Dan Diker and Arab-Israeli journalist Khaled Abu Toameh speak with Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi about the Biden administration’s sanctioning of four “settlers” for violence against Palestinians.

They discuss the implications of such an act, and what it signals to Palestinian society and the region at large. They also talk about a major story not being focused on—the increase in violence and attempted attacks by Arabs against Jews living in Judea and Samaria.

Dan Diker is president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and the longtime director of its Counter-Political Warfare Project.
Khaled Abu Toameh is an award winning Arab and Palestinian Affairs journalist formerly with The Jerusalem Post. He is Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
“This could have been the greatest terrorist tragedy in America since 9/11,” Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, told JNS.
The outcomes of the primaries show that “being pro-America, pro-Israel is good policy and good politics,” the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
The New York City mayor said that he is “grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.”
“I hope all the folks from Temple Israel know that we’re praying for them,” the U.S. vice president said. “We’re thinking about them.”
The co-author of the K-12 law told JNS that “this attempt to undermine crucial safety protections for Jewish children at a time when antisemitic hate and violence is rampant and rising is breathtaking.”
