MEDIA ANALYSIS: ISRAEL'S COLLECTIVE GRIEF AMIDST THE JOY OF HOSTAGE RETURNS

ISRAEL'S COLLECTIVE GRIEF AMIDST THE JOY OF HOSTAGE RETURNS

i24 News | Exclusive Media Analysis By Benjamin Anthony, CEO Of The MirYam Institute

In this interview with i24NEWS, Benjamin Anthony speaks about Israel’s current mood, noting that it is not one of “unbridled joy” but rather a state of “deep uncertainty” and “inability to grieve,” as the war cannot end until all hostages—including those taken before October 7, such as Hadar Goldin, whose remains have been held for ransom since 2014—are brought home and laid to proper rest.

He distinguishes Israeli society’s attitude toward current events, emphasizing that Israelis celebrate the return of innocents and soldiers while simultaneously commemorating the fallen who sacrificed so much to bring the hostages home.

Benjamin underscores that the responsibility for the destruction and bloodshed rests solely with Hamas, drawing a stark contrast between two societies: Israel, which celebrates the return of its citizens, and Gaza, where crowds cheer the return of terrorists.

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.

PODCAST: BREAKING HAMAS | AID ADVANCES | THE IRANIAN TRAP

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.
