Israel Starts to Vaccinate

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu went on television this past Saturday night and received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, in order to set an example for the Israeli public, encouraging everyone to vaccinate. Could this be the beginning of the end of the pandemic? Not all are convinced that the vaccine is the answer. Plus breaking news – the body of a 52-year-old Israeli woman was found late Saturday night in a forest in northern Samaria. Authorities are determining if perhaps she was murdered in a nationalistic terror attack. This and all the news from Israel on this week’s edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Gulf Nations Worried about Biden

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, news reports indicate that Prime Minister Netanayhu, along with Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen, made a secret trip to Saudi Arabia yesterday, to meet with top officials. The meeting happened as Gulf States this week voiced their concern that a Biden administration would rejoin the dangerous Iran nuclear deal.

And will the Gulf turn to Israel as its top partner to face the Iranian threat if a new White House leads to a change in policy? All this plus the latest news from Israel, on this week’s show.

Not My President

On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that with election chaos reigning in the US, whether projected election winner Joe Biden becomes president, or current President Donald Trump is able to prove voter fraud and stay in office, Israel needs to step up and do what’s in its best interests regardless of outside influence. While Josh acknowledges that President Trump was Israel’s best friend ever in the White House, and gratitude is in order, it’s the Israeli leadership which has to change its mentality and step up no matter who is in the White House, at 10 Downing Street, etc. Living in Israel for 19 years, Josh says that his president isn’t Joe Biden, but President Rivlin along with PM Netanyahu.
