On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses Israel’s Memorial Day – Yom Hazikaron, which this year carries many fresh wounds following the October 7, massacre. He also discusses the Biden Administration’s decision to impose an arms embargo against the Jewish State in the middle of a just war to defeat Hamas evil. Prime Minister Netanyahu insists that Israel will finish off Hamas, on our own, if necessary. Plus, Israel gears up for Independence Day – Yom Ha’azmaut even as the war wages on, with Israeli troops now fighting in Rafah and in other parts of Gaza. Chag Sameach to all!
Biden administration
Will the US port in Gaza deliver ‘aid’ into the hands of Hamas?
President Biden announced that the US Navy is opening a port to deliver aid to Gaza. Can this be successful or even properly inspected? Does this shift scrutiny away from Israel? Is this part of a larger effort by the Biden administration to isolate and undermine Netanyahu and the Israeli government?
JNS CEO Alex Traiman and Middle East Correspondent Josh Hasten break this down along with

US sanctions Israeli ‘settlers,’ but won’t reveal its sources
This week, the United States sanctioned another three Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria, accusing them of “undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank.”
Israeli officials blast new Biden admin sanctions over ‘settler violence’
For the second time in as many months, the U.S. State Department, in coordination with the U.S. Treasury, is again issuing financial sanctions against Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.
U.S. Administration Trying to Overthrow Israeli Government?
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten shares that a senior Israeli official slammed a U.S. intelligence report claiming that the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu is in jeopardy. In other words, this self-fulfilling prophecy attempt is another sign that the Biden Administration wants Netanyhu and his right-wing government out of power. At the same time, it was reported that Biden and company are considering withholding U.S. military aid should Israel try to finish off Hamas in the southern Gaza town of Rafah. Israel has made clear that it must destroy the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah in order to achieve victory over the terrorist organization.

The American People Stand With Israel
Even as the Biden Administration threatens that Israel is on the verge of losing international support due to its “conservative” government, a recent poll shows that over 80% of the American people stand with Israel in its war to eradicate Hamas. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how despite the weekly attempts by the U.S. president to overturn all of the pro-Israel gestures implemented under President Trump – this week it was Secretary of State Blinken stating that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are illegal under international law, the American people are not being fooled. They continue to maintain their moral clarity when it comes to the Jewish State.
Blinken’s reversal of ‘Pompeo doctrine’ all about politics, experts say
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday appeared to reverse the Trump administration’s “Pompeo doctrine,” which stated that civilian Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria were not necessarily illegal according to international law.
U.S. Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution
The United States on Tuesday vetoed an Algerian-sponsored U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that the Biden administration is playing both sides of the fence. The veto is appreciated, but at the same time the U.S. continues to call for the establishment of a P.A. state which would be a win for Hamas, while also voicing concern over a necessary military operation in Rafah. Israel insists that it will continue full steam ahead until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are brought home.
