Yossi Klein Halevi on Iran, Netanyahu and Moral Crossroads

Can a war based on uncertainty ever be morally justified? Is Israel ready for a future without unconditional U.S. support? What if military victory means losing moral clarity? In this rare and searching conversation, I speak with Yossi Klein Halevi, senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute and author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor, a journalist and podcaster, about the most urgent questions facing Israel today — and the moral weight they carry. We discuss: The ethics of preemptive war and the danger of acting on uncertainty Netanyahu’s role: political calculation vs. national interest Iran’s power, restraint, and regional ambitions U.S.-Israel relations in a shifting political landscape Lessons from America’s failed wars Whether Israel’s moral standing can survive military success This is not a debate. It’s not advocacy. It’s an attempt to think clearly in a time of chaos. 👉 Watch, reflect, and join the conversation in the comments. 📌 Don’t forget to subscribe for more in-depth discussions on politics, power, and conscience. *** The program "The Bureau of Konstantin Valkov" exists because we feel there is a need for a meaningful and in-depth conversation to explain the news, subjects, and processes.
