This is an unholy midweek episode, a week since the Israeli hostages are back home.

We want to check in on the fragile ceasefire and the attempts to disarm Hamas

and also give you some more details on the guests that will be joining us in our New York show,

just a week away.

It's unholy. I'm Yonit Levy in Tel Aviv.

And I'm Jonathan Friedland, usually in London.

Thank you. And I'm Jonathan Friedland, usually in London. Unholy, two Jews on the news. Obviously, midweek episode we have lots to talk about.

But the New York live show, as you say, what is it, just over a week away. We already mentioned, I think,

on our last episode that we are going to be joined by, well, a huge guest in the form of former

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, formerly Senator of New York from New York, and we'll be seeing speaking

with her in New York City. So we're thrilled about that. She'll be alongside her co-author of a new

book, all about politics at the highest level. But we are thrilled that our guest on the show

when we are live in New York will be none other than friend of the podcast, Alex Edelman. I think we can say, I mean, we find him genuinely hilarious, but also really insightful on all the Jewish stuff. His one-man show, just for us, was a mega hit on Broadway, also in London. He is extremely funny. People who are on holy listeners will remember, of course,

our conversation with him, the standout moment being when he talked us through which of the

Jewish festivals were Jewish and which were not. I seem to remember him saying Yom Kippur,

very not Jewish, which, and he explained that, maybe we'll get into that when we're on stage with him at the Stryker Center in New York City on October the 29th. If you have not yet booked your ticket, you really should. We're getting quite a lineup there. We're very told about that. And as you said, Secretary Hillary Clinton, lots to talk about with her, obviously. and as you said, her co-editor of her book, Dr. Karenir,

who is the Dean of Sipa at Columbia.

And Alex Edmund, we're really looking forward to that.

And looking forward to seeing each other and our audience,

which hasn't happened since London.

And we're, you know, we're happy about that.

There's this moment where Jonathan transforms into a Graham Norton-style host, which I never
