About “Global Perspectives with Ellie Cohanim”:

“Global Perspectives” is Jewish News Syndicate’s newest production. Join former U.S. Deputy Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at the U.S. Department of State Ellie Cohanim, as she hosts some of the most important geopolitical conversations taking place in the Jewish world today. Cohanim, a sought-after speaker in her own right, interviews heads of state, policymakers, thought leaders and activists, in frank and open discussions.

These conversations provide key insights into critical and time-sensitive issues, including the Iranian nuclear threat, the rise of violent anti-Semitism, anti-Zionist activities, Christian and Muslim support for Israel, and the historic Abraham Accords.

The U.S. president earlier warned that “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day” if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel’s airspace remains virtually closed to regular commercial air traffic amid the ongoing war with Iran.
Meanwhile, at least two people were wounded, including one seriously, in a cluster missile attack targeting central Israel.
The suspect was allegedly instructed to collect information on missile impact sites, the number of fatalities and wounded in hospitals, and more.
“The damage is incredibly painful to the regime. ... You can’t continue to fight if you can’t pay your officers. If you can’t financially sustain the war, that’s a fatal problem,” JISS expert tells JNS.
Observers JNS spoke with say the new ownership won’t have much impact on the Jewish state’s media landscape. It will continue to be left-wing, and so its ratings will further decline, they say.
