International push for Palestinian statehood: What does it mean for Israel?

JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman and JNS Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten in another episode of “Jerusalem Minute.” This week, they discussed the latest developments surrounding Israel’s ongoing battle with Hamas.

Topics covered include the chilling videos released by Hamas showing Israeli hostages Evyatar David, 24, and Rom Braslavsky, 21, in dire conditions, while international media continues to misrepresent the situation. The New York Times published a misleading image of a Gazan child that was later revealed to have a genetic condition, all while the real starvation victims, Israeli hostages, are largely ignored.

Psychological warfare, International push for Palestinian statehood

Meet the father of 11 the Israeli establishment wants to shut down
Meira Kolatch hosting  “The Meira K Show” on JNS TV
Something explosive is happening in Israel, and most Americans have no clue. In this week’s episode, host Meira K breaks down the shocking political war behind the headlines: the rise of Maj. Gen. David Zini, an Orthodox, right-wing father of 11 who’s just been nominated to lead Israel’s most secretive and powerful agency: the Shin Bet.

But this isn’t just about one man. It’s about who really runs Israel—the elected right-wing majority or the entrenched unelected security elite.

Zini’s nomination has shaken the Israeli establishment to its core. Why? Because he predicted the Hamas massacre on Oct. 7, 2023, in a memo. When others stayed silent, he ran into battle. And now, instead of being celebrated, he’s being attacked by judges, ex-Shin Bet chiefs, the media and leftist elites terrified of losing control. (0:23-24:42)


“Standpoint” with Gabe Groisman and guest Rich McCormick
Peace through strength: Rep. Rich McCormick speaks about Israel, Gaza and US power 
American leadership, military deterence and U.S.–Israel relations take center stage in this episode of “Standpoint.” Hosted by Gabe Groisman, a Florida communal leader and the former mayor of Bal Harbour, the program welcomes Rep. Rich McCormick—an ER physician, veteran of combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now a leading voice on Capitol Hill.

McCormick shares his perspective on the role of U.S. military strength; why peace is only possible through deterrence; and how America’s alliances, particularly with Israel, shape the future of global security. The conversation ranges from committee assignments in Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Science, Space & Technology, to the challenges of isolationism versus global engagement. (24:42-56:07)

Zini's appointment, Peace Through Strength

In this episode of “Basic Law,” host Aylana Meisel, Executive Director at the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, sits down with two special guests: Robert Gregory, head of the Australian Jewish Association, and Simcha Rothman, Member of Knesset, to unpack Australia’s shocking visa bans against mainstream Israeli political figures. For decades, Australia was considered one of the West’s strongest liberal democracies. Yet today, it is making headlines for denying entry to Israelis with right-wing political views, including former Minister Ayelet Shaked, tech advisor and influencer Hillel Fuld, and now MK Simcha Rothman. The move comes amid rising antisemitism in Australia, firebombed synagogues, violent protests and the government’s push to sanction Israeli leaders like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich while preparing to recognize a Palestinian state.

In this episode, we reveal why the war in Gaza is only a small part of a much larger battle—one that pits Radical Islam against the West itself. This is not just Israel’s fight; it’s a global struggle over truth, survival, and the future of freedom. As the media spins lies and division threatens to weaken us from within, we expose why unity, strength, and winning the narrative are absolutely critical. The stakes are higher than most realize, and if we don’t act now, the consequences will shape generations to come.
