Biden Rips “Extreme” Israeli Government

In a CNN interview over the weekend, United States President Joe Biden ripped Israel’s current government as being “one of the most extreme cabinets I’ve seen…” Biden, ignoring recent terrorist attacks targeting Israel civilians and soldiers, instead essentially justified his decision not to invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a White House visit. At the same time, his administration increased funding for the United Nations UNRWA organization, despite the anti-Israel hate taught in the organization’s education system, and their use of Arab “refugees” and their descendants as pawns against the Jewish State.

Supreme Court Flexing

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.

Give Up on Sovereignty for Peace with Saudi Arabia?

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.

Yamina and Likud Weigh in on Government Coalition

On today’s special edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, interviews with Jeremy Saltan, English Operations Director for the Yamina Party and Danny Seaman, Political Analyst and long-time Likud supporter. Saltan says that the upcoming wide-ranging government coalition headed by Naftali Bennett will be even more right-wing than governments led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Seaman argues that it is inconceivable that Bennett is slated to be Israel’s next prime minister as his party only secured seven seats in this past election. Listen to both interviews to get a true understanding of what Yamina and Likud representatives/supporters are saying respectively, as Israel inches closer to a new government.
