In this episode of “Israel Undiplomatic,” former Israeli Ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev, and veteran journalist and political commentator Ruthie Blum—both former advisers in the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office—tackle the harsh condemnations of Israel by three of its Western allies—Britain, France and Canada.

With Gaza still under Hamas control and hostages yet to be released, the hosts argue that these countries are wrong on the facts and are enabling terror. Their statements, they say, give political cover to Hamas at a critical moment in Israel’s war effort and undermine the West’s shared battle against jihadist barbarism. (0:24-31:25)

In this episode of “Judeacation,” JNS Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten sat down with longtime Israel advocate Jeff Daube, Israel chair of the International Committee for Har HaZeitim, to explore why the Mount of Olives (Har HaZeitim) remains one of the most strategically and spiritually significant places in all of Israel.

Together, they uncover the urgent need to protect and preserve the oldest active Jewish cemetery in the world, located on Jerusalem’s eastern ridge, a site that has witnessed desecration, war and renewal. From the burial sites of Jewish prophets and leaders to modern-day security threats and revitalization efforts, Daube reveals the remarkable progress being made, including a new visitor and education center set to open in 2027 with enhanced security infrastructure.
