The Palestinian journalist Israel watches for the truth: Suleiman Maswadeh on inequality, opportunity, and what October 7th did to Arabs in Israel
Donate: https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donateSuleiman Maswadeh is Israel’s most visible Palestinian Arab television correspondent, a regular presence on the national news, speaking fluent Hebrew to a country that rarely hears an Arab accent in that role. His career sits inside one of Israel’s deepest contradictions, two communities living side by side, sharing streets and history, yet separated by language, schooling, and fear, with the public story of the conflict often shaped by the absence of ordinary contact.Jonathan Sacerdoti meets Suleiman Maswadeh in person to trace how a Palestinian Arab man raised in a...

We need to be ready for ever: why winning the war won't bring peace — Yaakov Amidror
If you value these interviews, please consider donating: https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donateMajor General Yaakov Amidror argues that wars in the Middle East are never truly concluded. They are managed, suppressed, and deferred. Born on the day Israel declared independence and shaped by decades at the heart of its security establishment, he views October 7 not as an aberration but as the cost of strategic hesitation. The dismantling of Iran’s crescent, the degradation of Hamas, and the weakening of Hezbollah mark a significant shift in Israel’s position. None of it is final. Each front remains unfinished. Each...

Iran’s negotiators are stalling, but pressure at home could change everything – Beni Sabti
Donate at https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donateBenny Sabti, senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, joins me at a moment of acute strain for the Islamic Republic. He argues that Tehran’s diplomatic posture follows a familiar pattern: delay, repackage old positions, concede nothing essential, preserve enrichment capability and the infrastructure of coercion. This time, Washington appears less willing to indulge the ritual, framing negotiations as a final test before more forceful options are considered.Are the renewed student protests, including at the Sharif University of Technology, a sign of genuine internal fracture or another up...

Inside Gaza: will the war start again as the ceasefire is tested? Jonathan Sacerdoti reports from central Gaza as Hamas breaks Gaza ceasefire AGAIN
Jonathan Sacerdoti travels into the Gaza Strip, embedding with the IDF along the new front line that now divides the territory.Months into the Trump brokered ceasefire, Israel holds 58 per cent of Gaza behind what they call the 'yellow line'. Hamas remains in control of the rest and declares it will not disarm. Sniper fire, tunnel discoveries and daily ceasefire violations continue, even as aid enters through Israeli controlled crossings.From fortified positions overlooking the central refugee camps to staging areas where humanitarian supplies are transferred, this on the ground report examines how Israel is...

Did NY's Muslim mayor just use the Quran to fight Trump's migration policy? Neo-Islamic conquest and how compassion became our weakness and their strength – Prof Mordechai Kedar
Please donate to support these conversations: https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donateWhen NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani referenced Islamic teachings and invoked the Hijrah in his speech at a multi-faith event, was he offering a message of spiritual resilience — or signalling something more political?In this conversation, Prof Mordechai Kedar unpacks what that reference really means, explaining how Hijrah is not simply a story of exile and refuge, marking the transition from marginalisation to sovereignty, from preaching to governing. We explore how a modern political leader drawing directly on that narrative deserves our urgent at...

Iran’s last chance: what the West can still do to save Iran – Dr Thamar Eilam Gindin
Iran’s regime is relying on executions, foreign fighters and extreme repression to survive.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Dr Tamar Eilam Gindin, a specialist in Iranian language, culture and political mythology, about what she is seeing emerge inside the Islamic Republic. Drawing on reports and her own sources from within Iran, she explains how executions surged in the months that followed the 12 Day War, how protests were crushed using non-Iranian forces, and why these tactics point to a system under enormous strain.Dr Gindin describes how funerals have turned into protests, why mo...

Is the world about to tip over? What Trump may do next – Col Richard Kemp
What happens next in Iran? Will the United States strike, and if so, when? Will Israel be drawn in again, or deliberately held back this time? Will Britain take part, or remain confined to a defensive role?What would the targets actually be – nuclear facilities, missile infrastructure, or the leadership itself? And if the regime is hit hard enough to fall, who takes over? If it survives, what then?These questions sit at the centre of the Middle East right now. Military forces are already deployed. Diplomatic pressure is intensifying. The margin for miscalculation is sh...

Rewriting centuries of British law, and the public wasn’t asked — top barrister Jeremy Dein KC speaks out against government proposals
Britain’s justice system is facing a profound rupture. Under the banner of efficiency and backlog reduction, reforms are being proposed that would remove large numbers of cases from jury trial, weaken appeal rights, and concentrate decision making power in the hands of the state. These changes touch principles that have defined British liberty for centuries and raise fundamental questions about our justice and democracy, and who they ultimately serve.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks to veteran criminal defence barrister Jeremy Dein KC, whose decades at the heart of the courts give him a rare vantage po...

Why Trump’s lawyer says America should be a refuge for British Jews — Exclusive interview with Robert Garson
Donald Trump’s lawyer went on the record and said it plainly: Britain’s Jews need protection. They need somewhere to flee. He's urging the US President to let them come to America.When The Telegraph put the proposal on its front page, it was no longer a hypothetical concern whispered in private, but a public warning, issued at national level, about the condition of Britain itself.In this frank and unsettling conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Robert Garson, the Manchester-born barrister and US attorney who is close to Donald Trump, about why he believes the...

The international players who can help topple Iran’s regime. The call for support — Niyak Ghorbani
For nearly half a century the Islamic Republic has ruled Iran through fear, censorship and organised cruelty. It has crushed dissent at home while exporting terrorism abroad, and it has relied on a simple calculation: that the world would look away while its own people suffered in silence.Today that calculation is collapsing.Across Iran, ordinary men and women are rising against a regime that has impoverished them, humiliated them and treated their lives as disposable. They are marching in the streets knowing they may never return home. And for the first time in decades...

Does Europe still love Israel? What war, intelligence, trade and Eurovision tell us about diplomacy
Europe’s relationship with Israel has never been simple. It is shaped by history soaked in blood, by moral claims born from catastrophe, and by institutions that insist on speaking in the language of values while acting through interest. In the aftermath of October 7, those tensions have hardened, exposing fractures between governments and peoples, ideology and reality, rhetoric and reliance.As Europe’s political centre shifts and its demographics change, Israel finds itself simultaneously condemned in public and depended upon in practice. Accusations of antisemitism collide with strategic cooperation. Recognition of Palestinian statehood sits unea...

Impossible? Israel did it anyway — Dan Schueftan explains the strategic breakthrough and what's next
Condemned by mobs on the streets of the West, denounced by governments across Europe and beyond, and vilified by the United Nations and its satellite institutions, Israel might nevertheless be in a stronger strategic position than at any point in its history.Two years after October 7th, Israel’s international standing has deteriorated even as its regional power has expanded. What appears in Western capitals as isolation and moral failure is understood very differently in the Middle East, where strength is measured not by approval but by the capacity to act, to endure condemnation, and to defeat en...

Free speech isn’t right wing — Josh Howie explains why the left lost the plot
For years, British public life told itself a comforting lie: that tolerance meant silence, that compassion meant compliance, and that asking hard questions was somehow immoral. Josh Howie no longer believes that story.In this uncompromising conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Howie explains how comedy, journalism and politics were quietly captured by fear. Not fear of violence, but fear of social punishment: being labelled, deplatformed, or cast out for stating obvious truths.Now host of Free Speech Nation on GB News, Howie describes how institutions surrendered their authority through cowardice rather than coercion.

The Christian origins of Palestinian propaganda: Professor Miri Rubin
The most powerful images in today’s pro-Palestinian campaigns aren’t new — they’re borrowed from Christianity.
