The more than half a million Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria are no strangers to terrorism. In 2023, the region saw a 350% increase in terrorist attacks compared to the previous year. There were 300 shooting attacks last year, the most since the second intifada in the early 2000s.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Dan Diker, President and Fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, on reports that Israel and Saudi Arabia might be headed towards a full-scale normalization deal. Diker said that a quiet normalization already exists between the two countries. He explained that the Biden Administration is pushing a deal, as the Democrats are seeking a Middle East victory with the 2024 elections looming. At the same time, Iran’s terrorist aggression through its proxies, can’t be ignored as part of the Saudi’s policies. Don’t miss this interview, with expert analysis on the latest events shaping the region, with Israel front and center.
Part 1 of Josh Hasten’s debate on i24NEWS English in regard to the US snubbing of PM Netanyahu over an internal Israeli issue (judicial reform). Why isn’t the US focused on the fact that an American citizen was murdered in Israel, and another was seriously wounded this past month? Where is the Biden Administration on Iran getting ready to go nuclear? What about pay to slay? Nope, the obsession is Israel.
A news report over the weekend indicated that incoming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is once again considering pushing off applying sovereignty over Judea and Samaria in exchange for a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia. Sovereignty was pushed off in exchange for the Abraham Accords agreement with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain several years ago. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that while an alliance against Iran is a top priority, Israel should stay strong on the sovereignty issue.

During a 60 Minutes interview aired on Sunday night, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi would not confirm that the Holocaust happened. He suggested that “historical events should be investigated by researchers and historians.” On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh rails at the world community for begging the Iranian regime, the world’s lead sponsors of terror, and also Holocaust deniers, to rejoin the bad nuclear deal, which will pave the way from them to acquire nuclear weapons.

Aryeh Lightstone, former special envoy for economic normalization for the Abraham Accords and chief of staff to former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, believes that the Biden administration needs to focus on bolstering Israel’s efforts for regional peace and not rewarding the Palestinian Authority by re-opening the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem.
From Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel, to the bombing of an Israeli-managed cargo ship, to meeting with the heads of terror organizations, Iran has been extremely busy this week exporting its brand of aggression in the Middle East.

An explosion at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility on Sunday could set back production for nine months according to anonymous US and Israeli intelligence sources. While Israel is not taking responsibility for the attack, quotes from numerous Israeli officials hint that perhaps the Jewish State did what it had to do in the face of the Iranian existential threat.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a Jerusalem Post report reveals that at least 60 anti-Israel BDS groups recently took part in two online events led by leaders from Iran, Hamas, and other terror organizations. The fact that BDS groups are in direct cahoots with these terrorist entities proves that their true mission isn’t to encourage the boycotting of Israel, or to improve Arab lives, but rather their goal is to destroy the Jewish State.
