Summary

In a week that saw international fury over an air strike on Rafah that led to the deaths of dozens of civilians - and which came just days after an order from The Hague for Israel to halt its operations in the city - Yonit and Jonathan talk to one of America’s foremost analysts of geopolitics and CNN host: Fareed Zakaria. How might this war end? Is Israel’s isolation becoming permanent? And what difference would a returned President Trump make? Plus: a new poll dismays opponents of Benjamin Netanyahu - and a conversation with veteran Australian newspaperman Michael Gawenda on his improbable Jewish journey. -- 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.
