Trump called Netanyahu 'crazy.' Then Iran fired again
Two months after the Iran war ended, Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel again last night. Houthi missiles came in from Yemen. Israel struck Iranian energy storage sites overnight.<br /><br />Sirens went off across central Israel and one missile hit the West Bank. In this episode of the Jerusalem Dispatch, recorded hours after the attack, hosts Calev Ben-David and Ruth Marks Eglash make the argument the past 24 hours made unavoidable: you cannot decouple Iran from Hezbollah, and the Trump administration's effort to do exactly that is what put Israel back under fire.<br /><br />They also unpack the reported rupture in the Trump-Netanyahu relationship, the House War Powers Act vote that saw Republicans break with the president, and what Israelis actually need to hear from their leadership before the next round.

'It's a loss for Israel': inside the emerging Iran deal
The Iran war isn't over — and the deal taking shape may already be a loss for Israel.<br /><br />In this Jerusalem Dispatch episode, Calev Ben-David and Ruth Marks Eglash, editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Report, take stock of where Israel actually stands. Ben-David argues the emerging US–Iran agreement looks like a slightly firmer version of the 2015 Obama deal — light on Iran's ballistic missiles, silent on its proxies, and damagingly tied to Israel's unresolved conflict with Hezbollah.<br /><br />From the reported plan to install Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran's leader to the Kurdish-arming initiative Trump confirmed and cancelled, to Hezbollah drones killing IDF soldiers in south Lebanon and the fishing nets now strung over Israeli tanks, to the election that everyone is bracing for and Ben-Gvir's flotilla detention video.
