Israel After the Ceasefire: Ehud Haik on Gaza’s “Yellow Line,” Qatar & Turkey, and the Next War Nobody Wants
In this episode of Tel Aviv Diary, Marc is joined again by his friend Ehud Haik retired military officer, to take stock of Israel’s strategic reality—now that the landscape has shifted since Ehud’s last appearance. Last time they spoke it was before the ceasefire, beforehostages began returning, and before it was clear whether the regional balance had changed or merely rearranged itself. This conversation begins where Israelis are living today: Gaza, the uncertainty around what comes next, and the uncomfortable truth that Gaza can no longer be understood as an isolated front.Ehud argues that...

In this episode of Tel Aviv Diary, Marc Schulman sits down with neighbor and new olah David Schlachter, who moved his family from the Bay Area to Tel Aviv in August 2024 after a decade-long plan collided with the realities of October 7 and rising antisemitism in the United States.

In this week’s Tel Aviv Diary (December 12), Marc Schulman reflects on newly released IDF-captured Hamas footage of six hostages later executed in the tunnels under Rafah—images of young Israelis lighting Hanukkah candles underground, trying to keep their spirits alive, as the country watches with grief and fury. Marc returns to Hostage Square after the storm, noting what has been dismantled, what still stands, and the clock still counting down—especially for the one last body not yet returned. He asks what comes next in Gaza as talk swirls around a Trump-backed plan, a looming committee, and conditions—Hamas di...

I walk through the core idea: finally having a credible “day after” framework that rejects occupation and annexation, revives a reformed Palestinian Authority, and opens the door to broader regional normalization—if Hamas says yes.We also look at the hard parts: whether Hamas (and its patrons) will accept, how the far-right in...

Hostage Negotiations Stalled? Is it Netanyahu's Fault?
Marc returns from another heartbreaking Saturday night at Hostage Square, where hope has turned to despair. Last week, there was widespread belief that Netanyahu's trip to the US would finally bring a hostage deal—but once again, the goalposts have moved.In this deeply personal episode, Marc examines the devastating pattern revealed in recent New York Times reporting: how Netanyahu has repeatedly torpedoed ceasefire negotiations when they get close to success. From the Philadelphia Corridor to the newly invented "Morag Corridor," each excuse seems designed to avoid ending a war that 82% of Israelis want to see concluded....

He expresses cautious optimism that Israel can achieve its strategic objectives—and believes that a change of regime in Iran is a real possibility.
