On this week’s episode, Tel Aviv-based journalist and Israel Policy Forum Policy Advisor Neri Zilber hosts Israel Policy Forum’s Chief Policy Officer Michael Koplow and Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation Senior Director of Policy Research Shira Efron. Together they unpack Israel’s anger at the U.S. abstention at the U.N. Security Council, why Netanyahu seems intent on creating a crisis with the Biden administration, domestic politics in Israel dictating diplomacy, how U.S.-Israel ties reached this low point in the wake of October 7, and more.

As Israel pushes forward with its war in Gaza and grapples with political turmoil at home, Israel Policy Forum experts have been providing timely, clear-headed, and sober analysis on the ongoing conflict.

In this week’s Koplow Column, Chief Policy Officer Michael Koplow unpacks Prime Minister Netanyahu’s response to the U.S. declining to veto U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Read the column here.
In the coming days, we will be publishing recommendations to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, based on an Economic Cooperation Foundation report by Shira Efron, Jess Manville, and Celine Touboul. A link will be available here once the document has been published.
