Trump doubles down: Forever war in Gaza or relocation?

“Israel Undiplomatic” with Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum, Ep. 39

U.S. President Donald Trump continues to shake things up not only in America but across the globe. Recently, he doubled down on the idea of relocating residents of the Gaza Strip to another country, either temporarily or permanently.

Join JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom—both former advisers at the Prime Minister’s Office—for an in-depth look at where this may head.

They will also discuss the hypocrisy of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27 in light of everything that has transpired since the Hamas-led terrorist massacre in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

All this and more on “Israel Undiplomatic!”

“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.”
