Josh Hasten’s appearance on the evening of December 8, 2023 on i24NEWS English news. Not crazy about talking politics or debating during a war – but with #Israel voting on a state budget, politics it is (and yeah, it also has to do with our security needs and the war effort). And let’s not forget about Jewish unity also!
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!
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a special interview with Likud Member of Knesset Dan Illouz who says that despite the recent demonstrations in Israel, he is confident that the majority Israelis will joyfully celebrate Yom Ha’azmaut (Israeli Independence Day) this year. He is also optimistic that unity will reign, as he highlights many of the accomplishments of the Jewish State over the past 75 years. MK Illouz also detailed some of his top priorities in making a difference for the people of Israel.
On Sunday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, complying with a Supreme Court ruling, fired Shas Party Minister Aryeh Deri. It is true that Deri has a criminal past and promised to stay away from politics, but on this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that no doubt, the court’s ruling was politically motivated. He explains that the firing of Deri is a result of the court flexing its muscles, upset over the government’s proposed judicial reforms.
