Also on the daily podcast: what the Artemis Moon mission really accomplished and remembering a brave Soviet psychiatrist

SHOW-NOTES TEXT (60ish wds)

Binyamin Netanyahu says his strikes against Hizbullah are separate from the Iran-war ceasefire. That assertion is putting cracks in the deal, and in Israel’s relationship with America. We look at the stated and the unstated goals of the Artemis mission to the Moon—both achieved. And a tribute to Semyon Gluzman, who exposed the Soviet ruse of labelling dissidents as mental-health cases.

Anshel Pfeffer, Israel correspondent
Oliver Morton, senior editor
Ann Wroe, obituaries editor
Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”

Topics covered:

Israel, Iran war, Lebanon, America
