Weekly Roundup - 5/29/23

This week: Contributing writer Elisheva Goldberg examines the plight of Khan al-Ahmar, a Palestinian village in the West Bank that has become a flashpoint in the struggle over Israeli settlements. And contributing editor Dylan Saba repudiates the conventional wisdom about the Iron Dome, Israel’s missile defense system.

In a new episode from our podcast, On the Nose, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel, managing editor Nathan Goldberg, associate editor Mari Cohen, and news editor Aparna Gopalan discuss Netflix’s Jewish Matchmaking.
