Over the past couple of years, Call Me Back has grown into something much bigger than we ever expected,

a place for clarity, context, and honest conversations at a time when those things can seem hard to find.

That's what ARC Media is all about, building a truly independent voice,

which means no one shaping what we say or how we say it. To help support our rapidly

expanding operations, we created Inside Call Me Back, our members-only feed. If Call Me Back has been

meaningful to you and you want to be part of what we're building, I hope you'll join us.

You can subscribe at arcmedia.org or through the link in the show notes.

And to our insiders, thank you.

You are listening to an art media podcast.

Welcome. Welcome to Inside Call Me Back, our members-only edition, where we open the door and let you shape the conversation.

Today in the hot seat addressing your questions and personal dilemmas is ARC media contributor Tal Becker,

who is also a senior fellow at the Hartman Institute in Jerusalem and Council at Hanigman, LLP.

Tau, welcome back to the inside.

Great to be with you again, Dan.

A lot of news, obviously, coming out of Israel and coming out of Washington and coming out of

Tehran and coming out of Ankara.

But one piece of news, which interestingly seemed to be a bigger story over here than in Israel,

was Rahm Emanuel's visit to Israel and speech at Tel Aviv University.

I'm going to be speaking to him about the speech soon in the next couple days.

But I'm just curious, you have been thinking about how American politicians

and leaders around the world are trying to explain or articulate their problems with Israel.

And maybe just before we jump into these questions, maybe it'd be interesting to spend a minute on that.
