Iran and Gaza: Ceasefires Tested and the Risks of Delay

from The Quad · host JNS Podcasts

The U.S.-Iran memorandum has expired with no deal, Hamas is once again testing the limits of the Gaza ceasefire and questions are mounting over whether the West is repeating the same mistakes that led to October 7. The panel breaks down the growing economic pressure on Iran, the regime’s ability to suppress dissent, and whether President Trump is simply buying time until the U.S. midterm elections. They also examine Jared Kushner’s controversial meeting with Hamas representatives in Egypt and reports from Israeli soldiers who say terrorists are exploiting current rules of engagement. Plus, a Gaza-bound flotilla suffers an unexpected setback, the panel names its “Scumbags of the Week,” and highlights individuals who stood up against antisemitism and intimidation.
