Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 E45. Will Netanyahu be PM of Israel Forever?
Q: So the politicians, they know that we will always show up and they take advantage of it and they use it in the most cynical way. What can we do about it?
It's crucial to unite the Zionist people and prioritize the existence of Israel to bring meaningful change in governance and policy-making.
S3 E45. Will Netanyahu be PM of Israel Forever?
Q: Matan, tell our listeners who are you and what brought you to this point briefly?
Matan Yaffe describes himself as a fifth-generation Israeli, a social entrepreneur, a major in the IDF reserves, and someone deeply committed to the state of Israel and its values.
S3 E44. Israeli Air Force Hits Hamas Leadership Hideout in Qatar
Q: Is there anyone that we know of with the authority to make any kind of agreement regarding a ceasefire, and who may also have knowledge of and control of where the hostages are held?
Yes, Izzadin Haddad is the one who has the authority to make agreements regarding ceasefires and likely has information about the hostages' whereabouts.
S3 E44. Israeli Air Force Hits Hamas Leadership Hideout in Qatar
Q: What is the sort of seniority of Hamas leadership alive on the ground?
Izzadin Haddad is the terrorist who was nominated leader of Hamas in Gaza and has the current authority following the deaths of other senior leaders.
S3 E39. Part I. Andrew Fox on the Gaza Humanitarian Crisis
Q: Do you think there's going to be any movement on the hostage thing?
It's difficult because the current strategy prioritizes attrition on Hamas over recovery of hostages; getting the hostages back will require a deal, which is unlikely under current conditions.
