Israel is booming with babies, happiness and economic resilience, even amid war. In this uplifting episode of “Israel Undiplomatic,” hosts Ruthie Blum and Ambassador Mark Regev—both former advisers at the Prime Minister’s Office—break tradition to focus entirely on the good news coming out of Israel today.
This Passover episode covers three signs of strength and optimism: a post-Oct. 7 baby boom; Israel’s top-10 global happiness ranking; and the country’s robust economic outlook, despite ongoing conflict.
Ruthie and Mark unpack why birthrates are soaring even among secular Israelis during wartime, what Israel’s happiness index reveals about national purpose and resilience, and how Israeli innovation is driving record-breaking acquisitions in global tech. They also examine how strong family values, deep community bonds and a rising generation of patriotic youth have positioned Israel not just to endure crisis, but to thrive in its aftermath.
