Ceasefire talks resume in Egypt amid conflict across the Middle East. This as Israel begins retaliatory strikes against Iran following a missile barrage targeting Israelis. Josh Hasten, Middle East Correspondent for JNS furthers the conversation.
Israeli officials have been taking part in talks towards a hostage deal/terrorist release and ceasefire, with Hamas once again rejecting the proposal. Will Iran strike in the days ahead now that a deal appears out of reach? It’s been around two weeks since Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh was taken out while visiting Tehran. Israel hasn’t claimed credit, yet Iran has vowed to launch a revenge attack on the “Zionists.”
At the same time, Arab terrorists continue to attack on the home-front, with a Jew murdered in a Kedumim hacking on Sunday, and Hezbollah launching rockets at the north, nearly hourly. All of these stories, and much more on today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
-The continued push for a ceasefire as Hamas claims it has no idea where the hostages are and if they are dead or alive.
– Congress pushed back on Biden’s executive order sanctioning so-called settlers for violence against Palestinians.
-Will it work or will the Biden administration take additional steps to pressure Israel as Hezbollah continues to attack the north and a terrorist attack in Eli claims the lives of two?
-Will the US continue to use its veto in the UN?
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.

Even though the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect on May 21, the fact that Hamas isn’t launching rockets and the Israeli military isn’t striking back at terror targets in the Gaza Strip doesn’t mean that peace has broken out between Israelis and Arabs.
