Is Trump about to end the Gaza war? Or is his so-called “peace plan” just another media stunt? Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is joined by human rights activist and journalist Emily Schrader, Chochmat Nashim founder Shoshana Keats-Jaskoll, and senior contributing editor at JNS and “Israel Undiplomatic” host Ruthie Blum to break down the biggest developments shaking Israel and the Middle East.
Watch this urgent conversation on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the unthinkable wave of antisemitic conspiracy theories and morbid celebration that has followed. Hosted by Israel innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and featuring co-host Shoshana Keats-Jaskel, founder of Chochmat Nashim; Sandra Hagee Parker, head of the CUFI Action Center; and Iranian human rights activist Lili Mu, this episode confronts the dark realities of modern-day political hatred and media distortion.
Whether you admired his words or wrestled with them, his death marks more than the loss of a man, it marks a wound in the soul of a free society. This episode explores what Charlie stood for: the conviction that free speech must be defended even when it burns our ears, that faith must be lived boldly, and that Israel must never stand alone in the face of hate. We recount the human cost of violence…an empty chair at the table, a stolen moment, a shattered life…and ask what kind of world we’re building when truth is met not with argument, but with violence. But make no mistake: bullets kill people, they do not kill legacies. Charlie’s mission lives on in every student who dares to think differently, in every Christian who lives their beliefs out loud, and in every citizen who chooses truth over silence. This is more than a eulogy. It's a call to carry the torch.
Israel innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is joined by journalist and human rights activist Emily Schrader, founder of Chochmat Nashim Shoshanna Keats-Jaskel, and Ruthie Blum, senior contributing editor at JNS and host of “Israel Undiplomatic.” Together, they unpack the deadly terrorist attack in Jerusalem that left at least five Israelis murdered and many more critically injured.
Colonel John Spencer is adamant that Israel’s victories over the past two years are unprecedented and that they are far from finished. Israel innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum sits down with Colonel John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point and one of the world’s leading experts on urban warfare. As media pundits, academics and critics question Israel’s Gaza strategy, Colonel Spencer brings the hard truths: Israel is winning and doing so at historic speed, despite facing military, political and psychological obstacles unlike any other democracy in modern warfare.
Israel delivers a major blow to Hamas with the elimination of Abu Obeida, Hamas's masked mouthpiece and chief propagandist. What does his death mean for the war, the region and the battle of narratives? Find out in this explosive new episode of “The Quad” hosted by Israel innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum. Joining the panel is Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad, who offers powerful insights into the shifting mindset among Arab communities in Israel and the growing calls from Gazans themselves to be liberated from Hamas rule. The conversation also tackles the corrosive role of Al Jazeera and Qatari-funded propaganda in shaping global opinion, as well as the urgent need for media accountability.
Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum hosts former Member of Knesset, party leader and author Einat Wilf to challenge prevailing narratives and outline what genuine Middle East peace would require. Wilf retraces a decade-long “awakening” from the 1990s peace camp to a data-driven conclusion: multiple offers for a sovereign Palestinian state (including 2000 and 2008) were rejected, followed by violence, with little internal criticism from Palestinian leadership. She unpacks the ideology she and Adi Schwartz call “Palestinianism”, a sustained fixation on preventing Jewish sovereignty in any part of the land and argues that lasting peace depends on defeating this ideology rather than recycling failed diplomatic formulas.
Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum leads a hard-hitting discussion on Israel’s war against Hamas, the plight of the hostages and the hidden truth about humanitarian aid in Gaza that international media refuses to cover. With her in the Jerusalem studio are co-hosts Emily Schrader, journalist and human rights activist; Shoshana Keats-Jaskel, founder of Chochmat Nashim; and Brooke Goldstein, U.S.-based human rights attorney, founder of the End Jew Hatred movement, and CEO of the Lawfare Project. Together, they dissect the most urgent developments and expose the misinformation campaign surrounding Gaza. The episode begins with Israel’s firm stance on hostage negotiations and its preparation to retake Gaza City. The hosts emphasize how Hamas manipulates the narrative of “starvation,” while in reality murdering aid workers and blocking humanitarian relief to keep civilians dependent. Firsthand testimony from inside Gaza reveals how the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has disrupted Hamas’s control by delivering millions of meals directly into the hands of civilians, despite Hamas’s brutal attempts to intimidate and kill those involved.
Is Israel set to conquer the entirety of Gaza from the hands of Hamas? Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum leads the panel to explore Israel's impending moves that could change the face of the Middle East. Is this a strategic action to end Hamas's grip on the region, or could it lead to further escalation? With tensions rising within Netanyahu's cabinet and hostages still in danger, the world is closely watching how this bold decision will play out. “The Quad” offers an in-depth analysis of the situation and its potential consequences. Joining Fleur are co-hosts Ashira Solomon, host of Black and Jewish, Avi Mayer, founder of Jerusalem Journal and Shoshana Keats Jaskoll, co-founder of Chochmat Nashim. Together, they analyze the challenges facing Israel, the moral and military implications of “occupation” and the rising tensions over international perceptions and humanitarian concerns. From the false blood libels about starvation to Israel's bold stance in Gaza, the panel unpacks the geopolitical and domestic ramifications of this decision. In this episode, the team also debates potential solutions, from regional partnerships to creative military strategies. Tune in for a comprehensive and thought-provoking discussion on one of the most pivotal moments in Israel's ongoing struggle to defeat Hamas and return its hostages.
Is Hamas now backpedaling after publishing a video exposing them lying hypocrites?  Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum hosts a no-holds-barred panel dissecting the Gaza starvation blood libel, Hamas propaganda, UN complicity and the West’s shocking embrace of a Palestinian state while Israeli hostages continue to suffer. Joined by co-hosts Emily Schrader, journalist and human rights activist, Shoshana Keats-Jaskoll, founder of Chochmat Nashim, and Jonathan Elkhoury, Lebanese-born columnist and speaker, the conversation exposes the disturbing realities behind the humanitarian aid crisis in Gaza. Emily, just back from the border, shares on-the-ground insights into the tons of aid stalled by UN inaction and Hamas interference.
The Middle East is on fire…again.  Host Emily Schrader breaks down the escalating crisis in southern Syria, where the Druze minority faces a brutal massacre, a collapsing ceasefire and deafening silence from the international community. What is Israel’s responsibility toward its Druze allies across the border and why has the world once again turned its back on victims of jihadist terror?
