Remembering the president who sided with Hamas

“Israel Undiplomatic” with Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, Ep. 35

President Jimmy Carter passed away at age 100 this week. He left behind a legacy of being a peacemaker between Egypt and Israel who subsequently turned on the Jewish state, calling it an “apartheid” nation and claiming Hamas terrorists were more interested in peace than Jerusalem.

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—discuss the late president’s policies & actions both during his time in office and in the decades that followed.

They also discuss what the new year potentially holds for Israel, the Middle East and America. All this and more on this episode of “Israel Undiplomatic!”
