Aoun and Macron Meet in Paris Over Lebanon's Future as Israel Confirms Hamas Rafah Commander Killed; Election Petition War Escalates; Thu. Sep 17, 2026
Lebanon’s future is at the center of a major diplomatic push as President Joseph Aoun meets French President Emmanuel Macron and Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Paris. The talks come as Israel and Lebanon explore a possible security framework, including what could eventually replace UNIFIL in southern Lebanon.In this episode of the Israel Daily News Podcast, Shana Fuld breaks down the history behind the Israel-Lebanon conflict and explains why UNIFIL has remained in southern Lebanon for nearly 50 years.The discussion covers the origins of UNIFIL, the PLO’s presence in southern Lebanon, Israel’s 1978 and 1982 operations, Hezbollah’s emergence, and the aftermath of the Second Lebanon War.Shana also explains the current proposal being discussed: Israeli forces could withdraw as the Lebanese military moves into southern Lebanon and Hezbollah is disarmed. But Israel says the Lebanese army must prove it can actually remove Hezbollah from the area before an Israeli withdrawal can take place.The episode also covers:🇱🇧 Joseph Aoun’s meeting with Macron and King Abdullah II🇮🇱 Israel-Lebanon security talks🇺🇳 The future of UNIFILHezbollah’s refusal to disarmThe history of the 1948 Arab-Israeli WarIsrael’s peace treaties with Egypt and JordanThe evolving situation on Israel’s Syrian and Lebanese borders🇵🇸 The IDF confirmation of the death of Hamas Rafah Brigade commander Nael Abu ObeidIsrael’s upcoming October 27 electionPolitical disqualification petitions before the electionAn IDF inquiry into a controversial Gaza documentary🇲🇦 Israel and Morocco upgrading diplomatic relations to full embassiesThe Abraham Accords and expanding regional tiesRosh Hashanah and the upcoming Yom Kippur holidaySupport independent journalism from Israel:Israel Daily News website: https://israeldailynews.orgYouTube: https://youtube.com/@israeldailynewsIsrael Daily News Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shannafuldSupport our Wartime News Coverage: https://israeldailynews.org/donation-box/Links to all things IDN: https://linktr.ee/israeldailynewsTimestamps00:00 Aoun Meets Macron Over Lebanon’s Future01:00 How UNIFIL Began in Southern Lebanon02:00 Israel’s 1978 Operation & UNIFIL03:00 Israel’s 1982 Lebanon War04:00 Why UNIFIL Has Remained for Nearly 50 Years05:00 Israel-Lebanon Talks in Washington06:00 Hezbollah Must Disarm Before Israeli Withdrawal07:00 The 1948 Arab-Israeli War Begins08:00 The Nakba & Israel’s Independence09:00 Israel’s Peace Treaties With Egypt & Jordan10:00 Syria, Lebanon & Israel’s Other Borders11:00 Hamas Rafah Commander Killed12:00 Election Disqualification Battles Begin13:00 High Court & Political Party Bans14:00 IDF Orders Inquiry Into Gaza Documentary15:00 Support Israel Daily News16:00 Military Investigation & Classified Information17:00 Israel & Morocco Upgrade Diplomatic Ties18:00 Abraham Accords Anniversary19:00 Yom Kippur Programming Announcement20:00 Rosh Hashanah, Pomegranates & Israeli Tradition21:00 Israeli Artisans & Holiday Gifts22:00 Tel Aviv Weather & Daily Wrap-Up23:00 Shabbat Shalom & Gmar Chatima Tova#Israel #IsraelDailyNews #IsraelLebanon #Lebanon #Hezbollah #UNIFIL #IDF #Gaza #Hamas #IsraelNews #MiddleEast #JosephAoun #EmmanuelMacron #AbrahamAccords #IsraelPolitics #RoshHashanah #YomKippur #ShannaFuld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Iran's Nuclear Chief Skips Vienna as Netanyahu's Likud Moves to Ban Arab Parties; Trump Shrugs Off China-Iran Intel Report; Mon. Sep 14, 2026
Iranian pressure, the Strait of Hormuz, Houthi attacks, Israel's political tensions, Fauda's depiction of October 7, and a powerful Rosh Hashanah story from a freed hostage.On today's episode of the Israel Daily News Podcast, Shanna Fuld brings you the latest developments across Israel and the Middle East.Iran is accusing the United States and Austria of blocking its nuclear delegation from attending the International Atomic Energy Agency conference in Vienna, as the diplomatic relationship between Washington and Tehran remains deeply strained.We also look at reports of Chinese intelligence sharing with Iran ahead of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. base in Jordan, as President Trump prepares to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House.In Gaza, President Trump says Hamas is willing to give up its weapons, while Israel continues to insist that Hamas must disarm. The ceasefire remains fragile, with Israel and Hamas offering competing accounts of the situation on the ground.Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthi forces continue attacking Saudi Arabia. With the Houthis controlling key territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz dramatically reduced, the security of regional energy and shipping routes remains a major concern.We also examine the Israeli political debate over whether Arab-majority parties Ra'am and the Joint List should be barred from running in the upcoming October 27 election, including the legal history surrounding previous attempts to disqualify political parties.Then, a major cultural story: the fifth season of Fauda has drawn international attention for its dramatization of the October 7 massacre. The episodes have sparked strong reactions from viewers around the world, while the series' Israeli cast and production team have personal connections to the war.And we end with a powerful Rosh Hashanah story.Israel has reached its first Rosh Hashanah since October 7, 2023 without a hostage remaining in Gaza. Freed hostage Matan Angrest, who spent 738 days in Hamas captivity, returned home from a five-month trip through South America so he could celebrate the holiday with his family.His story is a reminder of what freedom means after years of captivity—and why being together with family during the holidays can carry a significance that is difficult to put into words.In this episode:Iran's dispute with the IAEA and AustriaU.S.-Iran tensions and China's alleged intelligence connectionTrump's Gaza ceasefire effortsIsrael's position on Hamas disarmamentRa'am, the Joint List and Israel's upcoming electionHouthi attacks on Saudi ArabiaThe Strait of Hormuz shipping crisisIsrael's political debate over party disqualificationsFauda's October 7 episodesRosh Hashanah and the return of freed hostage Matan AngrestSubscribe to Israel Daily News for independent reporting and analysis from Israel.📩 Sign up for the Israel Weekly News: israeldailynews.org❤️ Support independent journalism: Your contributions help keep Israel Daily News reporting independently from Israel.Israel Daily News website: https://israeldailynews.orgYouTube: https://youtube.com/@israeldailynewsIsrael Daily News Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shannafuldSupport our Wartime News Coverage: https://israeldailynews.org/donation-box/Links to all things IDN: https://linktr.ee/israeldailynewsTimestamps00:00 Iran Blocked From IAEA Conference Amid U.S. Pressure01:00 Trump, China & the Upcoming Xi Jinping Summit02:00 Trump Says Hamas May Give Up Its Weapons03:00 Israel, Hamas & the Gaza Ceasefire04:00 Could Ra'am and the Joint List Be Banned?05:00 Israel's High Court & Political Party Bans06:00 Houthi Attacks Target Saudi Arabia07:00 Houthis Take Control of Yemen's Red Sea Coast08:00 Strait of Hormuz Shipping Collapses09:00 Controversial Gaza Film Sparks Israeli Backlash10:00 IDF Rejects Allegations in the Film11:00 Fauda Season 5 Depicts October 712:00 How Fauda Portrays the October 7 Massacre13:00 Israel's First Rosh Hashanah Without Hostages in

U.S. Strikes Iran Now that MOU is Out & Israel Daily News: Mon, Aug 31, 2026 Ep. 875
The 60-day U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding has expired — and the United States is taking military action. In today's episode of the Israel Daily News Podcast, Shana Fuld breaks down the latest escalation after American forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, following reports that the IRGC was preparing to target shipping lanes. Iran is now threatening to respond. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut for business and Iran's economy under growing pressure, what comes next for the U.S., Iran, Israel, and the wider region? Shana also examines the growing political battle inside Israel ahead of the October 27th election, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's concerns over Ofer Winter's new People of Israel party and the latest polling showing Netanyahu's coalition below the 61-seat threshold needed to form a government. The episode also covers growing tensions over Haredi military service after 16 Givati Brigade soldiers refused to board an armored vehicle because a female paramedic was onboard, the ongoing debate over religious accommodations in the IDF, and the political battle over Haredi enlistment. Shana marks two years since the IDF recovered the bodies of six hostages murdered by Hamas: Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Ori Danino, Alex Lubnov, and Almog Sarusi. She reflects on their lives, their families, and the impact their deaths had on Israel and the world. The episode also examines rising settler violence in the West Bank, concerns raised by senior IDF officials about Palestinian retaliation, the controversy surrounding Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount, and the vandalism of a Reform synagogue in Jerusalem. And on a more positive note, Israel has scored another major achievement in the defense industry, signing its largest-ever defense export deal — a $3.5 billion agreement with Greece for a comprehensive missile-defense system known as the "Achilles Shield."

Dolly Parton’s Library Idea Reaches Israel & Israel Daily News; Thu. Aug 27, 2026
An IDF social media video appeared to advise ultra-Orthodox Israelis facing military draft enforcement on how to avoid arrest at Ben Gurion Airport — and it was quickly deleted. In this episode of Israel Daily News, Shanna Fuld breaks down the controversy surrounding the now-deleted IDF video ahead of the annual Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman, Ukraine. The video reportedly used an AI character called “Dudy the Explainer” to explain how draft evaders could avoid being detained at the airport. The controversy comes as Israel's long-running battle over Haredi military service intensifies and new legislation has left some pilgrimage-bound Israelis facing draft-evader status. Shanna also examines the growing security tensions in Judea and Samaria, including the strategic significance of the proposed E1 settlement expansion, British pressure over Israeli settlements, and warnings about settler violence. Meanwhile, election season is heating up. Gadi Eisenkot is calling a two-state solution “delusional” following October 7th while simultaneously criticizing the E1 expansion as a strategic mistake. He also takes aim at Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir over settler violence. The episode also looks back at the 2014 Gaza war, including reports of secret direct back-channel contacts between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas through intermediary Shlomi Fogel — contacts that Netanyahu's office and Fogel have denied. Plus, Shanna speaks about Tal Goldstein-Almog, a young survivor of Hamas captivity, and highlights his interview with Australian journalist Erin Molan. And in a cultural tribute, Shanna remembers Dolly Parton and the extraordinary impact of her Imagination Library, including its connection to PJ Library and Israel's Sifriyat Pijama program. The episode also remembers Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, including her acclaimed 2021 exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Finally, Rabbi Yossi Madvig explores this week's Torah portion, Ki Tavo, discussing light and darkness, the Messianic era, and the difference between the afterlife and the “world to come.” In this episode: • The controversial IDF video for draft evaders • Why the IDF deleted the video • The Haredi military draft crisis • The Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman • Airport enforcement and draft evaders • Rising tensions in Judea and Samaria • The E1 settlement expansion plan • British pressure over Israeli settlements • Gadi Eisenkot's election campaign • Israel's upcoming elections • IDF operations against October 7th attackers • Tal Goldstein-Almog and his experience in captivity • Reports of secret Netanyahu-Hamas contacts in 2014 • Israel Daily News' independent journalism • Rosh Hashanah gifts from Israeli artists • Dolly Parton's global legacy and PJ Library • Yayoi Kusama's legacy in Israel • Torah thought with Rabbi Yossi Madvig Support independent journalism: Israel Daily News is independently produced and does not work for the Israeli government.

Trump’s ‘Economic D-Day’ Slams Iran as the Rial Craters; Shin Bet Chief Defends Denying Eisenkot a Security Detail; Settlers Allegedly Beat Elderly West Bank Amputee
Iran’s 60-day window with the United States has expired — and there is still no diplomatic breakthrough. In today's Israel Daily News, Shana Fuld breaks down the latest developments across Israel, Iran, and the region, including reports that Tehran used the 60-day period to expand missile and drone production and strengthen coordination with its proxy forces in Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon. The Trump administration is now pushing what it calls an “economic D-Day” against Iran, targeting the country's oil exports, banking system, and foreign trade networks. Iran's currency has fallen to a record low, while tensions continue to rise across the region. Meanwhile, Israel's domestic political battle is intensifying ahead of the October 27 election. Ultra-Orthodox protesters blocked Highway 4 near Bnei Brak following the arrest of a yeshiva student who failed to report for his IDF draft summons. The Haredi draft exemption debate has become one of the defining political issues in Israel, with coalition parties pushing new legislation while critics argue that all Israelis should share the burden of military service. Shana also breaks down Netanyahu's warning to right-wing voters about smaller parties potentially failing to cross the electoral threshold — and why reaching 61 seats is so important for forming a government. Plus, a major historical discovery: Divers have located the wreck of the Altalena, the ship at the center of one of the most painful episodes in Israel's early history. The ship, carrying weapons, fighters, and immigrants, arrived in Israel in 1948 and became the center of a confrontation between David Ben-Gurion's government and Menachem Begin's Irgun. When the IDF opened fire on the ship, Begin ordered his fighters not to retaliate in order to prevent a civil war. Now, decades later, the wreck has been located intact roughly 500 meters underwater off the coast of Tel Aviv. In this episode: • Iran's 60-day U.S. memorandum expires • Trump's new “economic D-Day” sanctions campaign • Iran's collapsing currency • Rising tensions near Saudi Arabia • Israel's Haredi military draft crisis • The fight over new draft exemption legislation • Netanyahu's warning to right-wing voters • Shin Bet chief David Zini and Gadi Eisenkot • Settler violence in the West Bank • International stabilization plans for Gaza • Mansour Abbas and Palestinian statehood • The discovery of the Altalena wreck • Ben-Gurion vs. Menachem Begin • How the Altalena nearly triggered civil war • Israel Daily News updates and how to support independent journalism • The Maccabiah Games and the “Jewish Olympics” Support Israel Daily News: Your support helps us continue producing independent journalism about Israel and the Middle East.
