    Did the Iran War Succeed? - with Tamir Hayman and Mark Dubowitz

    Subscribe to Inside Call me Back. ____ Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ Did the Iran war solve the problem, postpone it or make it worse?  That fundamental debate has emerged over the outcome of the war with Iran.

Listen to Mark’s podcast, The Iran Breakdown with Mark Dubowitz.

    The Lebanon Trap - with Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal

    Subscribe to Inside Call me Back. ____ Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ Is President Trump saving Israel from a war it can’t win, or forcing it into a deal that leaves Hezbollah intact and Israeli soldiers and citizens vulnerable? President Trump announced a ceasefire in Lebanon. Hezbollah agreed to stop firing rockets into Israel. Israel agreed to not strike Beirut. Yet the fighting in southern Lebanon continues, IDF soldiers are being killed and injured by Hezbollah rockets and drones, and the strategic problem remains unsolved. Dan is joined by Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal to discuss Trump’s explosive phone call and pressures on Netanyahu, the link between Lebanon and the Iran negotiations, and whether this moment represents an off-ramp from an unwinnable conflict or a pause that leaves Israel’s hands tied and facing the same dangerous dilemma in southern Lebanon. In this episode: 04:48 - Trump's expletive-laced confrontation with Netanyahu over Lebanon 06:42 - What the new Lebanon "ceasefire" actually means 10:09 - Why Hezbollah's drone campaign is hurting Netanyahu politically 13:21 - Is the “Lebanon Trap” also possibly an off-ramp for Israel? 21:09 - What is really driving Netanyahu's decision-making? 23:30 - How Lebanon became part of the Iran negotiations 26:39 - Does Hezbollah's fate ultimately depend on Iran? 28:36 - Is Hezbollah weaker today, or stronger by adapting for the next war?

    Bonus Episode: Is Zionism for Everyone? – with Alana Newhouse

    Subscribe to Inside Call me Back. ____ Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ Why has the world become so fixated on Zionism, and what does that obsession actually reveal about the West? Alana Newhouse joins Dan Senor to unpack her widely debated essay Zionism for Everyone. They explore how rapid technological change and cultural disorientation are colliding with an ancient idea of peoplehood and why that tension is showing up in the global conversation about Israel. Newhouse argues that the fixation on Zionism is not really about Israel at its core, but about something missing in modern societies: identity, purpose, and self-determination. She lays out a provocative framework for what makes societies resilient, why some nations are struggling, and whether the model behind Zionism can be applied far beyond Israel. Read Alana’s essay in The Free Press, Zionism for Everyone here.  In this episode: - The collision between rapid technological change and ancient identity debates - Why Zionism has become a global fixation right now - What “ethnos” really means and why it’s being misunderstood - Zionism as a model: identity, vision, and hard work - What went wrong in the West and the limits of globalization - Is anti-Zionism driven by envy or a loss of self-determination? - The four traits of resilient societies - Can this model be applied beyond Israel, and by whom? - The erosion of peoplehood in the modern West More Ark Media: Want to join Ark Media?
