“We find it implausible that the Palestinian Authority managed to hide thousands of trucks dumping garbage over the side of a cliff along a major highway for weeks on end,” said Regavim, which is pressing for cleanup and a resolution to the situation.

Josh Hasten appeared on i24NEWS English last night about Israel applying sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria. It didn’t happen on July 1, but let’s see what happens here in the next few days/weeks.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a very special interview with David Angel, Director of Strategic Partnerships for Ogen, an Israeli non-profit which lends money to those in need through donations and impact investments. The organization has raised over $30 million to help small businesses and others struggling under the Coronavirus pandemic. Plus in the second half of the show – all the latest news from Israel. Will Israel apply sovereignty to Judea and Samaria on July 1? The verdict is still out.
As predicted by the Biblical commentator Rashi centuries ago, Israel this week was accused by a European Union leader of violating the Seventh Commandment of “Thou shalt not steal,” because of the current plan to apply sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria. But as the famous commentary suggests, the Bible begins by describing how G-d created the world in order to show that he gave out all of the lands on earth as he saw fit – giving the Land of Israel, including Judea and Samaria, to the Jewish people. Listen to today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, and hear for yourselves, how the ancient text comes to life in our times with outside forces accusing the Jews of being thieves and bandits in our own land.

n today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Daniel Gindis one of the founders of Tel Aviv’s Kerem House – a unique facility for immigrants and native-born Israelis to gather for social events, shabbatot, or to launch their careers using space provided by the facility. The Kerem House serves as a unifying social initiative which brings Tel Avivians together from all religious or cultural backgrounds. Also on the show, the latest news from Israel including how the one well-known Israeli used his influence to help the UAE pen an op-ed against Israeli policy. No, that’s not a Purim Shpiel.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten an interview with well-known educator Rabbi Uri Pilichowski from Mitzpe Yericho. Pilichowski and a group of leaders from Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria released a statement this week encouraging Israel to move forward with the application of sovereignty despite reservations about the Trump administration’s “deal of the century.” The group stressed that they feel President Trump and his team are the best friends Israel has ever had in the White House, and therefore Israelis should be grateful for their support.
