Taking on terror

WATCH: “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman and guest Gil Kleiman

How should Israel be facing internal terror threats, and what mistakes from the past can it learn from?

In this episode of “Straight Up,” former senior Israeli official Danny Seaman sits down with Gil Kleiman, former spokesperson for the Israel Police and leading commentator on Channel 14, to deliver a hard-hitting, insider take on the current wave of Palestinian terrorism, U.S.-Israel relations and the aftermath of Oct. 7.

This week’s topics include:

  • The rise in terror attacks in Judea and Samaria, including car-rammings, suicide bombers and IEDs
  • Why Israeli officials are warning against downplaying terrorist threats
  • The controversial “pay-for-slay” system and how it fuels violence
  • The Trump administration’s “Day After” plan for Gaza
  • Why a two-state solution with the Palestinian Authority is a non-starter post-Oct. 7

With stories from the frontlines, historic context and a no-nonsense analysis, the two give voice to the truth you won’t hear anywhere else.
