Week of February 6, 2025

Golden Pager Netanyahu Gifted to Trump

Bibi had a real Grammy spirit this week, so much so that he made a current-event-inspired trophy to gift his old pal Trump.

Sunday 2.2

This past routine Sunday, Netanyahu made his way to Washington D.C. He proclaimed he’d “redraw the map” of the Middle East with Trump. I don’t think anyone knew how literally he meant it until Tuesday… [1]

Monday 2.3

I want to address a rumor. Every few days, there is a headline like “U.S. Readies New $1 Billion Arms Sale to Israel.” It is all from the $8 billion that was already put aside for Israel. These stories detail the arduous approval process. Don’t be fooled. [2]

Tuesday 2.4

Trump and Netanyahu

Prior to their meeting, mainstream thought on the future of Gaza hinged on whether Hamas would remain there. Trump upended the paradigm by suggesting the U.S. may take control of the strip. From the Gulf of America, Governor Trudeau, American Greenland, Panama Canal, to this, it seems Trump is determined to reconfigure modern international relations. The question now is whether these tactics are to bargain or employ. [3]

Wednesday 2.5

In a move almost as iconic as Britney Spears leaving her conservatorship, Israel followed America’s lead by leaving the UN Human Rights Council. Just like Spears once said, “Consider that bridge burned, baby.” [4][5]

Thursday 2.6

There aren’t many things that are easy to continue after 30 rejections. But being asked to perform elsewhere or find a “Jewish venue” 30 times didn’t deter Israeli comedian Yohay Sponder from finding a venue to perform in Amsterdam! [6]

Friday 2.7

Morgan Orgatus and Joseph Aoun

Deputy U.S. Envoy to the Middle East, Morgan Orgatus, met with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. Lebanese social media accused her of being “more Zionist” than her predecessors for wearing a Jewish Star ring. They may forget that her boss’ predecessor, Amos Hochstein, served in the IDF… [7]

Saturday 2.8

Eli Sharabi, Or Levy, Ohad Ben Ami

Three Israeli hostages were exchanged for 183 Palestinian prisoners. Eli, Or, and Ohad are in notably worse health than those previously released. The pictures speak for themselves. [8][9]
