Israeli public OUTRAGED: Media, former IDF top brass echo Hamas

What happens when Israel’s enemies strike abroad—and its critics strike from within? On this week’s “Jerusalem Minute,” JNS CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief Alex Traiman and JNS Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten unpack the week’s most critical developments from Jerusalem. Filmed on Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day), the episode begins by comparing Israel’s miraculous 1967 Six-Day War victory to the grueling, nearly 600-day war against Hamas. The hosts confront the shocking murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., allegedly carried out by a Hamas sympathizer influenced by years of anti-Israel incitement and media misinformation. They analyze the global spread of antisemitic violence and discuss the rising threat not only from Hamas—but also from within, citing inflammatory comments made by former IDF Deputy Chief Yair Golan and former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
