In a compelling new interview, Alan Skorski sat down with Dr. Dan Diker, President of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, to unpack two major developments: the recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and the troubling victory of Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for NYC Mayor. Dr. Diker expressed deep skepticism over Iran’s intentions regarding the ceasefire, describing it as a classic case of Hudna or Taadiya — temporary Islamic ceasefires aimed at rearming and regrouping. “Iran’s top priority is survival,” Diker explained. “If that means pretending to capitulate to President Trump, they will do it. But make no mistake — they will recalibrate, resupply, and reenergize for the next round.” Diker also commented on President Trump’s recent remark, where he suggested that neither Iran nor Israel “knew what the F*** they were doing.” While acknowledging the strong support this administration has shown for Israel, Diker warned that such moral equivalency sends a dangerous message to Iran’s ruling Mullahs. Turning to the rise of Zohran Mamdani, Diker issued a stark warning about the “decades-long Islamist penetration into America.” He views Mamdani’s primary victory as the fruit of years of strategic planning by pro-Hamas and Palestinianist-aligned groups operating in the United States. Referencing a January 2025 report, Dr. Diker emphasized that while Israel has become a formidable regional force, it is now facing what he calls an “eighth front” — legal, political, media, and social warfare launched from Western democracies, especially within the U.S. and Europe. Diker also addressed concerns about President Trump’s recent Middle East tour, which notably excluded Israel. He dismissed the criticism, explaining that Trump is pursuing a “dual-track” policy that strengthens ties across the region without compromising the U.S.–Israel relationship. Trump’s diplomatic efforts have already borne fruit, with historic financial investment pledges: $600 billion from Saudi Arabia $1.2 trillion from the United Arab Emirates And a custom aircraft gifted by Qatar to serve as the next Air Force One. Dr. Diker’s warnings are clear: The threats facing Israel and the U.S. are increasingly interconnected — and the battlefront now extends beyond missiles and borders to include ballots, media, and the courtroom.
