Following U.S. President Donald Trump's dramatic announcement of a cease-fire between Iran, Israel and the United States overnight on Saturday, former deputy national security advisor Chuck Freilich explains what could come next when it comes to nuclear negotiations with Iran. Ron Kompeas, former D.C. bureau chief for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, writes on why Trump's support for the Jewish state in bombing Iran was actually bad for the Jews.

But, as the former policy advisor to the late Prime Minister Shimon Peres Nimrod Novik explains, now we have the chance to end Israel's other war in Gaza, and here Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman can leverage this moment.

And in New York City, Zohran Mamdani upset former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for mayor. Here's NYC local Abe Silberstein's explanation of why the pro-Israel establishment is concerned, and why they shouldn't be. And here is our New York correspondent Etan Nechin's take on the election results.

Amid all these developments, and specifically following the Iran-Israel war, philosopher Rachel Rosner explores antisemitism from the political left and how it must be addressed.
