Today’s Episode:

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of President Trump’s plan to end the Gaza war which requires the release of all remaining living hostages within 72 hours. Israelis have responded with an overwhelming outpour of emotion. But what do we really know about the plan and its implications for the future of the region? Ark Media contributors Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal join Dan to unpack what we know and what we don’t at this historical juncture.

Today’s Episode:

Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement tonight to end the Gaza war based on the outline of President Trump’s plan. The agreement includes the imminent release of all remaining living hostages in Gaza in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. In an emergency pod, Ark Media Correspondent Nadav Eyal joins Dan to share his initial impressions of the first phase of the deal, what this means for the short and long term balance of power in the region, and whether Hamas gets to claim this as a victory.

Today’s Episode:

This Tuesday will mark the two-year anniversary of the October 7 massacre, in which thousands of Hamas terrorists infiltrated Southern Israel, slaughtering over 1,400 Israelis and taking more than 250 hostage. It was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Since then, we’ve witnessed several fronts of war against Israel, a terrifying rise in global antisemitism, and an effort to isolate Israel diplomatically, culturally, and economically, and much more.

To reflect on some of the major events and the cultural currents that have swept the world since October 7, 2023, Dan sat down with Sam Harris for a conversation being released as a simulcast both on Call me Back as well as Sam’s podcast, Making Sense. Sam is a philosopher, neuroscientist, author, and public intellectual. He focuses on topics of rationality, religion, politics, and ethics, and has been a fierce critic of the rise in radical, fundamentalist islam.

Today’s Episode:

This year’s Yom Kippur landed right on our production schedule, so we did not tape a Call me Back episode. It’s a good opportunity to share with you the most recent episode of For Heaven’s Sake, a collaboration of Ark Media with our partners at the Shalom Hartman Institute - Yossi Klein Halevi and Donniel Hartmen.

Just before Yom Kippur, on Wednesday, our team at Ark Media published an episode of For Heaven’s Sake, which is an Ark Media podcast, co-hosted by Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi of the Shalom Hartman Institute. In this episode, titled “A New Era?”, Donniel and Yossi reflected on President Trump’s plan for the end of the Gaza War.

We found the episode particularly insightful and emblematic of the types of profound conversations Donniel and Yossi typically have on For Heaven’s Sake, so we decided to release it on the Call me Back feed as well.

Today’s Episode:

President Trump met with Netanyahu in the White House on Monday to discuss the plan to end the Gaza war. The proposal includes the immediate and unconditional return of all remaining hostages and the complete demilitarization of the strip. Nadav Eyal joins Dan to evaluate the feasibility of the plan, whether Netanyahu will be able to sell it to his government, and what we can realistically expect to see next.

Today’s Episode:

On Monday, September 29, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are set to meet at the White House. Because of this potentially game-changing meeting, we decided to postpone our usual Monday episode by a day so that we can delve into all that’s revealed (or not) tomorrow in Washington D.C. Instead we’re releasing a brief news-update to keep listeners up-to-date on the Israel-related news that’s unfolded over the past few days. Be sure to catch the next Call me Back episode, which we’ll tape shortly after Monday’s White House meeting.

Today’s Episode:

Over the past few days, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and several other countries formally recognized a Palestinian State at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The practical implications of this “diplomatic wave” are yet to be seen, but the Israeli Government is taking the move seriously, as many interpret Palestinian recognition as a reward for Hamas’ terrorism. Meanwhile, the IDF continues its operations in Gaza City. To discuss the implications of recognizing Palestinian statehood and the evolving situation in Gaza, Dan was joined by Ark Media contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal.
