Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur.
On February 4, US President Donald Trump made a bombshell proposal to resettle the population of Gaza. The announcement caught the world by surprise and over a week later, no one is entirely sure what Trump intends beyond restarting and resetting the discussion of Gaza after the war.
We discuss Israeli comedian Reshef Levy‘s biting Hebrew-language assessment of politicians’ responses and how they reflect the ambivalence the plan has aroused in the Israeli public.
