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.

In this i24NEWS interview, Benjamin Anthony reflects on the wave of euphoria across Israel following the return of 20 living hostages—and the deep sorrow over the imminent return of 28 deceased. He highlights the resilience of the Israeli people and the heroism of the IDF soldiers who fought to defend the nation and 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.

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.

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.

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.

Recorded on Yom Hashoa, Yaakov Lappin and I discuss the significance of this solemn day, the clear Jew-Hatred exhibited by too many new-media "influencers" and the status of the IDF's operations inside the Gaza Strip, before assessing the implications of the Trump administration's outreach to Iran and whether or not all involved in those negotiations would do well to stop courting the press.

In this episode, Yaakov Lappin and I assess the fall out of the NYT article that claims that "Trump Waved Off Israeli Strike [against Iran's nuclear weapons program] After Divisions Emerged in His Administration."
We ask who leaked the information and what Trump and Bibi's next steps might be in light of the story and emerging disagreement between the two. We then clash on the question of what an Iranian retaliation might look like in the event of a solo Israeli, or Israel-U.S. kinetic strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.
