Today, I was on ILTV at YNET Studios in Rishon LeZion, hosted by Maayan Hoffman. Joining me were Dan Perry, the former chief editor for AP in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, David Wurmser, a fellow at the Misgave Institute for National Security and advisor to VP Dick Cheney, and Abraham Katsman, Counsel for Republican Overseas Israel.
We discussed the Democratic convention and pro-Hamas protestors, what Israel is being asked to give up in the hostage, a significant security threat, American pressure on Israel during this war, and anti-Semitism in the US.
Please share your thoughts. – Eric

Join Abe Katsman from Republicans Overseas Israel; Dr. Eric Mandel of the Middle East Political and Information Network; Dan Perry, the former chief editor for AP in Europe, Africa and the Middle East and publisher of “Ask Questions Later” on Substack; and David Wurmser, a fellow at the Misgav Institute to analyze Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s efforts to broker a ceasefire and hostage deal in Israel.
