A conversation about not only the Middle East, where our star guest, Nadav Tamir — veteran diplomat, former advisor to President Shimon Peres, and one of Israel’s clearest progressive voices — joins us to map the patths forwward after Donald Trump & Benjamin Netanyahu launched their attack on Iran, what are the politics & pressures, and the stubborn hope inside the progressive parts of Israeli and palestinian people.
Nadav Tamir is a former Israeli diplomat and currently Executive Director of J Street Israel and senior advisor at the Peres Center for Peace. A former adviser to President Shimon Peres, Tamir brings decades of experience from Israel’s foreign policy establishment.
We also examine Israel in the aftermath of confrontation with Iran: how war shapes everyday life, political priorities, and national cohesion. The conversation explores growing internal pressures within Israeli society, the strategic tension between Israel’s interests and those of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, and what lies ahead in Israel’s upcoming election.
A grounded discussion of power, politics, and uncertainty at a critical moment.
