Israel on Saturday night reached a ceasefire with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in Gaza, after five days of operation “Shield and Arrow,” in which Israel killed several of the group’s top terror heads, while absorbing 1,250 rockets. One Israeli was murdered in the rocket attacks in the central Israeli town of Rehovot. But how long will this ceasefire last? On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten offers his thoughts on what Israel needs to do, to end the Gazan terrorist threat once and for all.

After more than two decades of planning, bureaucratic hurdles and court petitions filed by opponents, the Jewish Community of Hebron is on the cusp of laying the foundations for 31 new housing units in the city’s historic Hezekiah Quarter.
Media sources citing a leaked video say that Israel’s Justice Minister Yariv Levin has accused the U.S. State Department of funding anti-government protests. Until now only “unnamed officials” have made that claim. The leak comes as President Biden has yet to invite Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House. However, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, had nothing but love for the Jewish State, during his Knesset address on Monday. All of this plus the latest news from Israel, including rockets fired at the south by terrorists from Gaza as the podcast was recorded, on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
Part 2 of my debate on i24NEWS English – There want Tel Aviv and it’s suburbs to break off from the rest of the country and be known as “#Israel” while everyone else – religious, ultraorthodox, residents of Judea and Samaria, will live in a new country called “Judea.” I think this an insane idea, and think we need to unite and not separate!

Israel’s Ministry of Transport and Road Safety announced this week that it has submitted an unprecedented 50 billion shekel (around $13.7 billion) budget proposal to the Ministry of Finance towards the development and improvement of transportation over the next five years.
On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that it was truly difficult joyously celebrating Pesach (Passover) this year, following the terrorist murders of Efrat residents Lucy Dee, 48, and her daughters Maia, 20, and Rina, 15 HY”D, who were gunned down by jihadists while driving in the Jordan Valley. Thousands have paid their respects to the Dee family at the shiva this week, with more and more stories emerging demonstrating how amazing these three lost souls were through their acts of kindness and love of the Land of Israel and the Jewish People.
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that while the Attorney General and others are up in arms about Israel’s new National Guard entrusted to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, in the end, both Jews and especially Arabs, will be grateful for the new law enforcement body. With rampant crime, murder, and illegal activities especially in the Arab sector, Josh says the new force will tackle these issues, creating a better quality of life for Israel’s Arab community, and will thus be welcomed. Ironically, when the idea was conceived under the previous government, the pushback was at a minimum. It sounds like those opposed to the new force, have politics on their mind.
