Distinguished Middle East analyst Ben Weinthal joins us again from Jerusalem, where he writes for Fox News Digital, the Jerusalem Post, and the Middle East Forum.

This week, we discuss the record-breaking levels of antisemitism around the world, plus the efforts of the U.S. administration to release frozen money to Iran while at the same time sending the U.S. Navy to build a temporary port on the Gaza Strip's coastline to help deliver humanitarian relief to refugees. That port will be simultaneously be close to a recent mega find of 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves at the eastern end of the Med.
