About this listen

Saudi Arabia's historic F-35 fighter jet deal with the US raises urgent questions about Israel's military edge. Plus: France posthumously promotes Captain Dreyfus after 130 years, and Iran reportedly halts uranium enrichment. In this Jerusalem Post Deep Dive podcast, host Jacob Lasnik and senior Middle East analyst Seth J. Frantzman break down the implications of Saudi Arabia becoming a Major Non-NATO Ally and acquiring the same advanced F-35 jets that give Israel air superiority.

"Saudi Arabia is not an enemy of Israel," Frantzman argues, explaining why the decade-long procurement timeline and regional dynamics mean this deal might actually strengthen, not weaken, Israel's position. Also discussed: Breaking desk manager Shir Peretz on Iran's nuclear program pause, the Trump-Gaza stabilization force, Lebanon border tensions, and the latest Epstein files developments. News editor Alex Winston examines France's attempt to close the Dreyfus Affair chapter amid rising antisemitism - 68% of French citizens now believe France has an antisemitism problem.
