After the Short but Intense War Between Israel and Iran, a Ceasefire Holds – But Peace Looks Different


In this episode of "In Crisis Mode," FUNKE’s reporter Jan Jessen was on the ground:

In Be’er Sheva, where rockets hit just before the ceasefire.

In Tel Aviv, where homes were destroyed, people were evacuated, and trust was deeply shaken.

And in Jenin, where refugees struggle to survive – with no prospects and no aid.


Jan Jessen, politics editor at NRZ and reporter for the FUNKE Media Group, speaks with:

  • Idor, a volunteer with the organization One Heart
  • Danna, a social worker with the Tel Aviv municipality
  • Sharon, an architect at the heritage conservation office
  • Emelia & Motti, residents of Tel Aviv
  • Anjad, a refugee from the Jenin refugee camp

Jessen reflects: What remains after this war? How fragile is the ceasefire? And why might this be merely the calm before the next storm?


🧭 Chapter Overview

1 | Rockets Before the Calm

A final rocket strikes a residential building in Be’er Sheva shortly before the ceasefire. Jan speaks with Idor, a volunteer with One Heart, who is helping with cleanup efforts – while mourning the losses.

2 | The Ruins of the White City

A rocket hits the center of Tel Aviv’s Bauhaus district. Sharon, from the heritage office, talks about the loss of history. Social worker Danna assists evacuees. Meanwhile, the city’s cafés are filling up again – caught between everyday life and trauma.

3 | Fear, Anger, Survival

Emelia survived the blast. Motti compares Tel Aviv to Berlin in 1945. An anonymous official shares fears of new attacks – and the belief that Israel must "finish the job."

4 | The Shadows of Jenin

In the West Bank, Anjad recounts how his car was shot at, his son was injured, and how his family now survives in a refugee apartment shared with twelve others. Hope? Nowhere in sight.

5 | Peace on Borrowed Time

Israel’s strike on Iran’s nuclear program – a preemptive attack with questionable outcomes. Jan analyzes: What was destroyed? Why is the situation still tense? And can this ceasefire last?

6 | Between Normality and the Next Alarm

Cafés in Tel Aviv, checkpoints in the West Bank, bombs in Gaza – Jan sums up: What’s left after twelve days of war? And what’s at stake if this fragile peace collapses again?
