Evan Gottesman and TJ's Danny Seidemann break down what the attack actually means for the city, its consequences for Jerusalem's residents, plus an update on E1 and the diplomatic campaign to recognize a Palestinian state.

    A Vehicle Without Brakes

    No red lines: Evan Gottesman checks in with Jumana Jaouni and TJ's Danny Seidemann about the state of Jerusalem facing a right-wing Israeli government, an unchecked Trump administration, and a Palestinian leadership that seems checked out from the city. In this episode, we dive into an unprecedented settlement development in Sheikh Jarrah, new Israeli restrictions on UNRWA activity, and an Israeli police raid against a Palestinian-owned Jerusalem bookstore—and why that all matters.

    One Year Later

    A year after Hamas's October 7 attacks and the start of the war in Gaza, outside attention remains diverted away from Jerusalem.

    Can Jerusalem Save the Middle East?

    With the specter of a wider Israel-Iran war looming over the Middle East, Evan Gottesman catches up with TJ's Danny Seidemann and Palestinian affairs expert Jumana Jaouni about the latest out of Jerusalem.
