Podcast: Is the Iran war destroying the ‘unbreakable’ US-Israel bind?

 Jacob Laznik talks with Yisrael Klitsner, JPPI fellow, former Diaspora Affairs Advisor to PM Bennett, about whether Israel can run an election in the middle of a two-front war, and whether the US-Israel bond survives the aftermath.

Klitsner argues the campaign comes down to “security, security, security,” that Netanyahu “single-handedly made Ben-Gvir who he is,” and that the widening rift with Diaspora Jewry now boils down to one message from Israel’s American partners: “first, do no harm.”

A mainstream pro-Israel insider’s candid read on a country holding an election, fighting its longest war, and trying to hold its global family together at the same time.
