Israel’s Election Battle: October 7 and Competing Narratives

Israel’s election battle is heating up, and suddenly explosive claims about what PM Netanyahu knew before October 7 are surfacing from every direction. In this episode of "Jerusalem Minute", Josh Hasten and Alex Traiman break down allegations that Netanyahu was warned by the UAE before the Hamas massacre, Hillary Clinton’s intervention in Israel’s election and Antony Blinken’s rejection of claims that Hamas offered to immediately release all the hostages. They also challenge Jared Kushner’s claim that the U.S. used Israel’s Doha strike to pressure Jerusalem into a Gaza deal and reveal why Israel and Saudi Arabia may now be quietly moving closer together as the Houthis threaten one of the world’s most important shipping routes.
