What’s in the latest podcast?

A look at the first meeting between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu. We opened the show on Monday of this week with a short interview with yours truly and host Lisa Mullins about that which divides the American president and Israeli prime minister. It’s followed by an interview with Israeli journalist, Akiva Eldar of Haaretz, focused on what’s at stake politically for Netanyahu as he begins his second go-around as prime minister.

Next, president Obama’s decision to revive the military commissions system for some detainees at Guantanmo isn’t going over well with some his own supporters. Experts say the issue is likely to go – again – to the Supreme Court.

Finally, thanks to the folks at War News Radio at Swarthmore College. They wrap up the podcast this week with a report on Iraqi refugees.
