Hosted by Alex Traiman, CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief of JNS, and Josh Hasten, JNS Middle East correspondent, this episode of “Jerusalem Minute” shares perspectives on the biggest headlines from Israel and the Jewish world you won’t hear anywhere else.
Traiman and Hasten expose the alarming rise in global antisemitism, highlighting the shocking attack at a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colo., where an Egyptian national used a makeshift flamethrower to injure a dozen people, including a Holocaust survivor.
The hosts then analyze the Gaza war’s intensification, including the deaths of three Israeli soldiers and countermeasures by the Israel Defense Forces against Hamas’s booby-trapped infrastructure.
They also provide critical updates on the Iran nuclear standoff, questioning Axios’s reporting on uranium enrichment allowances while emphasizing U.S. President Donald Trump’s unequivocal rejection of any such deal. The conversation turns to Houthi missile fire on Israel, the difficulty of intercepting long-range ballistic threats from Yemen and the Iranian regime’s regional destabilization strategy.
Also covered: France’s aggressive push for Palestinian statehood, met with biting commentary from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, and Saudi Arabia’s mixed messaging—voicing support for normalization with Israel while pressuring global recognition of a Palestinian state.
