Is President Trump delaying the inevitable or laying the groundwork for a decisive showdown with Iran? This week on Jerusalem Minute, Josh Hasten and Alex Traiman examine why the White House abruptly paused plans for massive strikes against Iran despite repeated violations by the regime, and whether Washington is now following the same strategy of "managing the conflict" that Israel has employed throughout the war. They also unpack the latest Trump-Netanyahu meeting, the future of negotiations with Hamas, Israel's military strategy in Gaza and Lebanon, Hezbollah's vast tunnel network and why the coming months could determine whether diplomacy holds, or the region plunges back into full-scale war. If you want to understand the strategic thinking behind the headlines and what to watch for next, this episode breaks down the key developments shaping Israel and the wider Middle East.
