While Abbas says the vote will include Arabs from Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and those living abroad, skepticism remains high. Past election promises have never materialized, and recent polls show Hamas support surging in Judea and Samaria while Fatah continues to lose ground. Meanwhile, the U.S. approved more than $16 billion in arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia. At the same time, antisemitism explodes closer to home—from a disturbing incident aboard an American Airlines flight to the exponential rise of antisemitic hate in the first month of Mamdani’s term as mayor in New York City. We cover all this, and so much more, on today’s episode of The Israel Guys.
