Bibi on board? Iran, America and Israel’s campaign in Lebanon

The Intelligence from The Economist

Also on the daily podcast: what the Artemis Moon mission really accomplished and remembering a brave Soviet psychiatrist


SHOW-NOTES TEXT  (60ish wds)

Binyamin Netanyahu says his strikes against Hizbullah are separate from the Iran-war ceasefire. That assertion is putting cracks in the deal, and in Israel’s relationship with America. We look at the stated and the unstated goals of the Artemis mission to the Moon—both achieved. And a tribute to Semyon Gluzman, who exposed the Soviet ruse of labelling dissidents as mental-health cases.


Guests and host:

  • Anshel Pfeffer, Israel correspondent
  • Oliver Morton, senior editor
  • Ann Wroe, obituaries editor
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”


Topics covered: 

  • Israel, Iran war, Lebanon, America
  • Artemis mission, NASA, Moon
  • Semyon Gluzman, Soviet Union, psychiatry
