The Evangelical-Israeli who met MBS in his palace tells all

In this week's episode, we hear from an evangelical Christian and Israeli citizen, Joel Rosenberg, on his unusual meetings with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, the king of Jordan and president of Egypt, all documented in a new book he just published. Why did these Arab leaders invite him to their palaces, and how can Joe Biden get a big diplomatic win in the Middle East? Listen to the full conversation, starting at time code 10:20. 

Earlier on the show, Haaretz correspondent Allison Kaplan Sommer warns about Israel's failed enforcement of rules barring unvaccinated tourists from entering the country. Her recent scoop on the subject led the Israeli Health Ministry to promise a quick fix, but so far, she tells host Amir Tibon, the disturbing loopholes she discovered still exist.
