PODCAST: TIME TO ACT — THE PROPAGANDA WAR ON ISRAEL | THE IRANIAN THREAT

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.

BRIEFING: '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.

BRIEFING: 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.
