In this week’s episode of “Israel Undiplomatic,” senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister’s Office—analyze President Donald Trump’s bold new peace initiative, the release of the final Israeli hostages and the reactions across Israel’s political spectrum. Most importantly, they reveal what makes the peace plan that freed the last remaining living hostages in Gaza this past Monday fundamentally different from all previous Middle East peace efforts.

Blum and Regev then explore how Trump’s coordination with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli envoy Ron Dermer shaped the plan from the inside, and how Trump’s unconventional pressure tactics on Qatar, Turkey and other Arab states made compliance possible.

Finally, this episode wouldn’t be complete without covering the most talked-about moment of the week: Trump’s monumental Knesset address. They examine his powerful message of “peace through strength,” his open defense of Israel’s right to finish the war and his stunning declaration that the Oct. 7 attacks would never have happened if he were still president.

With Israeli forces advancing, civilians fleeing and Hamas reportedly firing on its own people to keep them in place, the war enters a deadly and decisive phase.
