Summary

Two decades after the Battle of Jenin, this week saw a fresh – and very different – military offensive in the city, one that lasted just 48 hours and won much praise in Israel but a mixed response from the watching world. Yonit and Jonathan discuss all that, plus a kidnapping in Iraq and another eruption of spontaneous street protests – sparked by the sacking of a police chief – as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu presses ahead with its overhaul of the judicial system, denounced by its critics as a coup. And - we're joined by one of America’s most admired journalists, Face The Nation anchor and CBS News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent, Margaret Brennan, to talk Biden and Netanyahu, the US and China, Israel and Saudi Arabia – and the one interview that left Netanyahu speechless. Plus: a Haredi win for mensch, and a chutzpah worth millions. -- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unholypodcast/and X: https://x.com/2jewsonthenewsJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1150578065793142See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
