Ask Me Anything with Dan Senor, Yael Bar tur and ChayaLeah Sufrin

Dan Senor is joined by Yael Bar tur and ChayaLeah Sufrin, hosts of the new Ark Media podcast Chosen People Problems, for a wide-ranging Ask Me Anything.

• The unlikely allies Israel may need to turn to

• Which American presidential candidates could effectively navigate Israeli issues

• What the 2026 midterms might reveal about the Democratic Party’s direction
