Reflections on Recent News Events and Political Dynamics in the US and Israel

This week - CNN’s Bianna Golodryga joins Yonit as guest co-host.

In the US - mere days after shots were fired towards him in a failed assassination attempt, former President Donald Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention - and introduced a running mate. Former Trump administration official now turned critic of the 45th president, Alyssa Farah Griffin, weighs in on J.D. Vance and on Trump’s potential new inner circle – and on why she feels politically “homeless”. 

Meanwhile, in Israel, mounting pressure on Netanyahu, ahead of his speech to Congress, as a hostage deal appears yet again within reach. Yonit and Bianna speak to Ayelet Levy Shachar, mother of kidnapped soldier Naama Levy, about the decision to publish harrowing images of her daughter in captivity - and her nine months-long fight to bring Naama home.  

*This episode was recorded before the drone attack in Tel Aviv early Friday morning.
