Today’s Episode:

On Monday, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu conducted their highly-anticipated meeting at the White House, where they engaged in a press conference from the White House State Dining room.

Prime Minister Netanyahu told the press that Israel and the U.S. were communicating with several countries willing to take in Palestinians who want to leave the Gaza strip, suggesting that Gazans would not be forcibly removed from the strip, but rather given the option to relocate if they so choose.

President Trump disclosed that the U.S. was engaging in direct talks with Iran, with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff saying a meeting with the Iranians would take place within a week.

Notably, there was no big announcement on the hostage-ceasefire front, which many people were anxiously awaiting after more than a week of Trump expressing optimism regarding a deal.

To unpack what we learned from Monday’s White House meeting – what might develop over the days and weeks ahead – are Call me Back regulars, Senior Analyst at Yedioth Achronot Nadav Eyal and Chief Analyst at Channel 12 Amit Segal.

Today’s Episode:

On Monday, July 7, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House, where we assume they will discuss an end to the Gaza war and the new Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape after the recent war with Iran.

Because this meeting is likely to bring big Israel-related news, we decided to hold off on recording a full Call me Back episode until tomorrow. Instead, we recorded a brief news round-up to help keep you up-to-date on recent developments, and to prime you for Monday’s meetings in Washington DC.

Among other things, we’re keeping our eyes on a potential hostage-ceasefire deal in Gaza and the possibility of normalization between Israel and certain Arab States, including Syria.

Stay tuned for more Call me Back analysis on developments out of Israel and DC.

Today’s Episode:

Over the past few days, we’ve observed strong signs that Israeli leaders are moving to bring the Gaza war to a close, though it remains unclear how exactly this would take shape.

On Tuesday, Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermermet with senior Trump administration officials in Washington, DC. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit the White House on Monday, July 7.

This comes just over a week after Israel’s 12-day war against the Iranian regime. The war also included, of course, a round of American strikes on Iran’s three key nuclear facilities.

Prime Minister Netanyahu spent his entire political career warning of the existential threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program, and he is now largely being credited — even by domestic critics — with its destruction. As the post-Iran War geopolitical map is being drawn, we wonder, what could be Netanyahu’s next moves in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria. Saudi Arabia, and domestically, in Israel?

To discuss this we are joined by Israeli author and journalist Ari Shavit. Ari is the author of the award-winning book My Promised Land and was a senior correspondent at Haaretz for many years.
