This is Israel’s minister of the diaspora Amichai Chikli, with me in Krakow, just a short distance from Auschwitz, where we’d journeyed together with other international leaders as part of a European Jewish Association delegation.

We were all there for a symposium on antisemitism in Europe called, "Never Again: Lip Service or Deep Commitment?"

Also among the notables, former Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, who pushed back in our interview on Polish Holocaust denial on Polish soil - and Elon Musk, in conversation with Ben Shapiro - and coming soon on Jonny Gould's Jewish state, former French prime minister Manuel Valls, who conducted our interview in French.

Amichai tells us that October 7th is a reset for the House of Israel to achieve a new unity and awareness and pride in Jewish identity.

He pays tribute to individuals within American Jewish leadership, who recognise the dangers of the university campus, where words lead to violence.

And we talk of prospects for peace: where it’ll come from and through the worst days of Israeli-American diplomacy, how Israel must prevail over Hamas.

So that “Never Again is Now” doesn’t lead to a Never Again tomorrow.

This is Amichai Chikli, Israel's minister of the diaspora.
