    Great interview. However, listening to a writer - a writer! - speak at length about Facebook…. really? Facebook. Am I dismayed or laughing? Talk about losing the story.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Benny Gantz: Netanyahu is responsible for October 7, dividing society
Q: Why should Israeli voters vote for you and the Blue and White Party?
The party presents a unified, cross-aisle Zionist platform aimed at solving security, economic, judicial, and educational challenges, arguing that only a broad, coalition-based approach can stabilize the country and move beyond partisan gridlock.
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib: Hamas is to blame for October 7 and Gaza's ‘collateral damage’
Q: What is the core pragmatic approach you advocate for regarding a Palestinian state?
A practical timeline toward a Palestinian state centered on nation-building in Gaza as a pillar, with a focus on mutually beneficial partnerships and a pathway to viability within five to ten years, rather than symbolic recognitions.
From Mecca to Mokha: Houthis flex as Saudis flail
Q: What can be said about the Mecca drone claim and the Mecca accord's relevance now?
Lazar notes there is no reliable way to verify the Mecca drone claim; while Saudi authorities push the narrative to rally regional and U.S. support, the Mecca accord itself appears to have limited practical impact and is unlikely to trigger a robust defense coalition among Pakistan and Turkey.
IDF bolsters forces on all fronts ahead of Yom Kippur
Q: What is the situation around Tel Ghan 2 and Iran's nuclear-related activities?
The discussion notes that Tel Ghan 2 has been repeatedly struck in the past and is now undergoing reconstruction and fortification, signaling continued vulnerability and focus on preventing any further Iranian nuclear developments, with Western intelligence confirming past tests at the site.
IDF bolsters forces on all fronts ahead of Yom Kippur
Q: What can you tell us, Manny, about the bolstering of forces and the heightened alert for Yom Kippur?
Manny explains that it is a routine but intensified precaution during the holiday period, with ground forces and senior officers deployed across commands, increased armed aircraft readiness, and more patrols at sea and on land to deter escalation while acknowledging historical incidents during Yom Kippur.
