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
– Biden’s come-to-Jesus Netanyahu comment
– Ramadan violence
– The Haredi draft crisis and much more!

Wartime Questions

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Eve Harow joins Josh Hasten to discuss the latest from the war-front and to ask questions: Why is Israel sending humanitarian aid to her enemies during times of war? Why haven’t any Arab or Muslim nations stepped up to take in their brethren from Gaza, as countries normally step up to assist those affected? Will enough clans in Gaza turn against Hamas, now that they see Hamas stealing food, water, fuel etc. for themselves? These questions and many more on today’s podcast.

The Potential Lessons of the Terror Tunnel Discovery

The IDF on Sunday displayed videos of a massive Hamas terror tunnel it discovered near the Erez Crossing, just 400 meters away from Israeli territory. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Erez, which has been used as the only pedestrian entryway from Gaza to Israel, should be shut down. The Oct. 7 attacks taught us that terrorists in Gaza took advantage of Israel’s humanitarian gestures – allowing Gazans to receive medical care in our hospitals, and also took advantage of work permits in Israel – to feed Hamas intelligence, which ultimately was used against us. Israel used Erez to show kindness and provide livelihoods, while Hamas used Erez to launch attacks. Have we learned our lesson?
