About this episode
The U.S. just blocked Mahmoud Abbas from the global stage. What does this mean for Israel, Hamas, and the global PR war?
In this 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, break down the high-stakes developments shaking international diplomacy.
Just days before the UN General Assembly, the U.S. State Department revoked visas for Mahmoud Abbas and the entire Palestinian Authority delegation, denying them the chance to be celebrated on the world stage. At the same time, former President Donald Trump warned that while Israel is winning the war militarily, it is losing the information war. He urged the country to finish the job quickly. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu has mobilized thousands of IDF reservists for what could be the final offensive to dismantle Hamas’s last stronghold in Gaza City. Are these events unrelated, or part of a coordinated shift in global messaging?
From virtue signaling at the UN to how the terms settler and occupation are manipulated to undermine Israel, Blum and Regev dissect the narratives shaping public perception. They expose international double standards, European hypocrisy and the dangerous myths being pushed by both foreign powers and domestic critics.
