TIME TO ACT — THE PROPAGANDA WAR ON ISRAEL

THE IRANIAN THREAT

In this solo podcast, MirYam Institute In-House Analyst Yaakov Lappin explores why, as Israel approaches strategic decisive outcomes in Gaza, the propaganda war against it grows louder.

He also looks at the highly dramatic impasse that nuclear talks with Iran have reached, and how President Trump might respond when he concludes that the art of the deal does not apply to the jihadist regime in Tehran.

Yaakov examines why encouraging the collapse of the Iranian regime should be the real end goal, and why actions are more important than words when it comes to Syria.

BREAKING HAMAS

AID ADVANCES

THE IRANIAN TRAP

In this solo episode, MirYam Institute analyst Yaakov Lappin explores why the launch of a Hamas-free aid distribution program in Gaza marks a pivotal new phase in the war. The initiative aims to dismantle Hamas’s military and political control simultaneously.

Lappin discusses how Israel, working with an American private security firm, is now managing aid distribution—fundamentally shifting power dynamics on the ground. He also details the coordinated advances of five IDF divisions across Gaza.

Turning east, Lappin examines why time is running out on Iran’s accelerating nuclear program, as Tehran seeks to corner the Trump administration in a high-stakes diplomatic trap.

PODCAST: HEROES OF ISRAEL VS. (DOMESTIC) DISGRACES

HEROES OF ISRAEL VS. (DOMESTIC) DISGRACES

In this episode of the show, Yaakov Lappin and I analyze the IDF’s military buildup and operations inside the Gaza Strip, before we voice our very clear opinions on, and level our condemnation toward, recent statements made by former Deputy Chief Of Staff of the IDF and leader of the “HA-DEMOCRATIM” political party, Major General (Res.) Yair Golan. 

Golan made wholly unacceptable, baseless and false remarks against the members of the IDF in a tirade that would normally be the preserve of enemies of the State of Israel. 

We also analyze the recent address made by the current IDF Chief Of Staff; a man who thankfully exhibits none of the moral delirium of Yair Golan.

'IT’S PURE SADISM' HAMAS IS STARVING MY BROTHER

HAMAS TOOK MY BROTHER HOSTAGE. HE'S BEEN STARVED AND MADE TO WATCH OTHERS GET RELEASED. IT'S "SICK"!

On October 7, 2023, Evyatar David was kidnapped by Hamas from Israel’s Nova music festival. His two close friends were killed that day. Evyatar and his best friend, Guy Gilboa-Dalal, were dragged into Gaza and have been held hostage ever since.

 Since that day, Evyatar’s brother, Ilay David, has fought tirelessly for his release. In this exclusive and heartbreaking interview with The MirYam Institute, Ilay shares the painful journey his family has endured.

In February 2025, Ilay’s family received a second proof of life film — a Hamas propaganda video showing Evyatar and Guy forced to watch other hostages being set free in a staged ceremony. Both men appeared frail, starved, and exhausted, while pleading for their lives. Here, Ilay describes the devastation of seeing his brother alive — but broken. 

“They showed him freedom, then slammed the door in his face and threw him back in the dungeon. It’s sick. It’s pure sadism,” Ilay says.

As former hostages returned and shared their stories, Ilay learned even more about the horrific conditions Evyatar and Guy have faced:

— Months underground in Hamas tunnels

— Little food, barely any water

— Constant fear for their lives

With support from The MirYam Institute, Ilay works relentlessly to keep his brother’s story visible — even traveling to New York and Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. lawmakers.

In this powerful interview, Ilay reminds us: The atrocities of October 7 haven’t ended. They continue every day for those still held captive in Gaza.

If you stand with the hostages and their families, please share this video and leave a comment.

Your voice can help bring them home.

ISRAEL ON FIRE: WAS TERROR BEHIND BLAZES?

WORST EVER ISRAEL FIRES SPARK THIRD INTIFADA WARNING | NETANYAHU SAYS WAR VICTORY IS 'SUPREME GOAL'

Israel is recovering after the worst fires in the country's history raged around Jerusalem. The IDF and emergency services have worked non-stop to bring the blazes under control but questions about the causes and preparedness remain.

Defense expert and CEO of the MirYam Institute, Benjamin Anthony, says if it's proven that Hamas terrorism played a role, his biggest concern is that this could be the tactic in any "third intifada".

It all comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outraged some of the families of hostages by saying that Israel's "supreme goal" is victory over the nation's enemies. Anthony believes that victory is the key goal but it can't be achieved without bringing Israel's kidnapped citizens home from Gaza.

Meanwhile the IDF releases staggeringly explosive aerial video showcasing its military might as it confirms two more key eliminations of Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon.

All that against the backdrop of more U.S. sanctions against Iran as nuclear talks continue.

Get all the analysis and dramatic battlefield footage in the video below.

HAMAS ON NOTICE - WILL IDF LAUNCH GROUND OP?

HUGE IDF GROUND OP REQUIRED TO 'COMPLETELY' DESTROY HAMAS | ISRAEL KILLS 140 HEZBOLLAH TERRORISTS

Israel is believed to be readying for a massive ground offensive that would see the IDF take over the Gaza Strip.

In our latest briefing, defense expert and CEO of The MirYam Institute, Benjamin Anthony, explains why both the most likely of two key outcomes will require a "significant" Israeli force in the enclave. To enact the Donald Trump plan and to defeat Hamas "completely" would mean IDF reservists going into Gaza on the ground in large numbers.

It comes as the IDF reveals it's killed 140 Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon since the ceasefire came in to force. Will that fragile ceasefire hold if the terror group continues attempts to regroup and attack Israel?

Anthony also examines the latest talks between Washington and Tehran as Israel rethinks its plan to strike nuclear sites in Iran.

We'll have the latest battlefield footage and expert analysis to make it all make sense.

In the final segment of our update, Anthony gives a hugely passionate take on Yom HaShoah and the ideological battle faced by Israelis and Jews around the world as revisionist historians, comedians and podcasters peddle their dangerous lies.

IRANIAN NUKES: TO STRIKE OR NOT TO STRIKE? 

In this episode, Yaakov Lappin and I assess the fall out of the NYT article that claims that "Trump Waved Off Israeli Strike [against Iran's nuclear weapons program] After Divisions Emerged in His Administration." 

We ask who leaked the information and what Trump and Bibi's next steps might be in light of the story and emerging disagreement between the two. We then clash on the question of what an Iranian retaliation might look like in the event of a solo Israeli, or Israel-U.S. kinetic strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.

BLOWN TO HELL! HAMAS CHIEF DEAD, TRUMP STOPS IRAN OP

TRUMP STOPS ISRAEL STRIKE ON IRAN NUKE SITES FOR NOW AS HAMAS SMUGGLING CHIEF BLOWN TO PIECES

In our latest unmissable video, watch the newest jaw-dropping battlefield footage released by the IDF as defense expert and MirYam Institute CEO Benjamin Anthony breaks down the biggest developments in the Israel-Hamas war.

Anthony gives the lowdown on the destruction of a Hamas terror base and training complex and the targeted strike by the Israeli military in Khan Younis that killed Yahya Fathi Abd al-Qader Abu Shaar—Hamas’s top smuggling operative.

As the Israel Defense Forces releases its own report card on Gaza, we also get Anthony's take on reports that Israel was ready for a week of airstrikes and commando raids on nuclear facilities in Iran but that the plans were "waved off" by Donald Trump.

In the Oval Office, the U.S. President said “I wouldn’t say ‘waved off’” but added, “I’m not in a rush to do it.”.

WIPE OUT! HEZBOLLAH 'CAN'T BE TRUSTED!'

KEY HEZBOLLAH OPERATIVE KILLED AS TERROR ORG HINTS AT DISARM MOVE

PLUS

NETANYAHU IN CODED IRAN WARNING

In a searing blow to the Hezbollah terror network, dramatic footage has captured the moment Israeli warplanes vaporised Muhammad Adnan Mansour — the top artillery commander in the a-Tayyiba region.

Mansour, a ruthless terrorist responsible for launching countless rocket attacks into Israel’s Upper Galilee, was taken out with clinical precision in a targeted airstrike that sent shockwaves through the ranks of the Iran-backed terror group.

The strike comes as Hezbollah — battered and bruised from its disastrous post October 7 2023 war with Israel — faces mounting pressure from within Lebanon to lay down its arms.

With Lebanon’s US-backed President Joseph Aoun said to be preparing to open formal disarmament talks, MirYam Institute CEO, Benjamin Anthony warns that Hezbollah can't be trusted.

The message from Jerusalem is loud and clear: terror commanders will be hunted down, one by one. And if Hezbollah wants to talk peace, it may have to do it without its rockets.

Meanwhile the world is still assessing the latest meeting between Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Benjamin Anthony argues that the revelation of nuclear talks between America and Iran is a "concern" and says Bibi delivered a coded warning to the Tehran regime.
