There's tension between Israel's Prime Minister and his intelligence gatekeepers as the battle to bring the hostages back home continues.

It's a bumper episode because it's also Pyrrim and we are speaking to perhaps the most exciting comedian of his generation.

Alex Edelman joins us on Unholy.

I'm Jonathan Friedland in London.

And I'm Unhanyte Levy in Tel Aviv.

Unholy.

You know it's my favorite holiday.

I know it's not yours.

But, I mean, it's poor him.

And we're trying to, you know, sprinkle a little bit of cheer.

So as you said, Alex Edelman is with us, and he's a comedic genius and we'll talk to him later.

We need it.

You've got to stay, by the way, listeners have to stay for that because they've got to get to the bit where he talks through which Hugim, which Jewish holidays are Jewish and which are not.

And you are going to be very surprised by which Jewish holidays do not make the Jewish cut.

So stay for that.

Really, please do.

We sprung this on him unprepared and he just went on a whole riff on what Jewish

holidays are not Jewish.

And you really want to stay for that because it will make you feel better as will the whole

conversation.

We have a lot of other news before that, of course, but we also have to mention that it's

that it's poor M.
