Thousands of Palestinians have been freed under a fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel – but many more remain in Israeli prisons. As arrests continue and families wait for answers, what does “freedom” really mean under occupation? And how does detention shape daily life, resistance, and hope in Palestine?

Former UN Undersecretary-General Sigrid Kaag discusses the state of humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the role of the international community in supporting relief efforts.   Background Reading: Malnutrition has reached alarming levels in Gaza, with famine declared in the territory's most populated region. As Israel continues to block aid from entering Gaza, this backgrounder explains how hunger is now reportedly affecting more than just civilians on the ground.  As the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip continues, some countries have announced their intent to recognize the Palestinian territories as a sovereign nation, but full independence and UN membership remain elusive. This backgrounder unpacks the quest for Palestinian statehood.   Host: Steven Kalin, Foreign Correspondent at the Wall Street Journal   Guest: Sigrid Kaag, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process; Former United Nations Undersecretary-General   Want more comprehensive analysis of global news and events straight to your inbox?

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AT DRUZE AND SWEIDA IN SYRIA | MAN OF PEACE PODCAST

What's next for Ukraine, where the EU’s top diplomat warns that proposed land concessions could be a strategic trap laid by Putin? In Gaza, tensions escalate as an Israeli minister threatens to raze Gaza City unless Hamas agrees to new terms—while a UN-backed body confirms famine conditions in the region for the first time. And in Asia, a newly revealed North Korean missile base raises alarms, posing a potential nuclear threat to both the US and its regional allies. From diplomacy to defense, we talk Polycrisis in this episode. During our International News Review, “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys speak to Steve Okun, CEO APAC Advisors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textThe stark divide between diplomatic theater and human suffering takes center stage in this powerful episode of The Darrell Mcclain Show. As global leaders exchange handshakes and pose for photographs, we pull back the curtain on what these performances truly reveal about power, principles, and moral responsibility in our fractured world.Trump's diplomatic summit provides a troubling window into America's shifting approach to international relations. Meeting with Putin, Trump offered legitimacy to a leader responsible for Ukraine's invasion, treating him not as an adversary but as a respected counterpart. This transactional approach continued with Zelensky, who arrived desperate for support but found himself treated as a client rather than a partner in crisis. When European leaders entered the room, they received criticism for defense spending shortfalls while NATO itself was framed as a protection racket rather than a vital alliance. These interactions reveal a worldview where alliances are business deals rather than commitments founded on shared values—potentially fulfilling Putin's long-term strategy of fracturing Western unity.Meanwhile, as these diplomatic games unfold, we confront the horrifying reality of famine in Gaza, where over 500,000 people face starvation not from natural causes but from deliberate policy choices. The UN's declaration makes it official: this is a man-made catastrophe. Jewish voices including prominent actors speak out powerfully against Netanyahu's government, arguing these actions not only harm Palestinians but endanger Jewish communities worldwide. Bernie Sanders delivers an unflinching assessment, naming Netanyahu a war criminal responsible for this humanitarian disaster.What does America stand for if not the defense of human dignity? When principles become negotiable and suffering becomes acceptable, we lose more than our moral standing—we lose our very identity as a nation. Join us as we examine this critical moment and ask what it demands of us all. Support the show

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: “Sustained a traumatic head injury amid an Israeli shell explosion” is a fairly convoluted way of saying that Israeli forces shot a 14 year old boy with an artillery shell. And now the Free Press reports that he is completely paralyzed, so it only makes sense that he would be malnourished if you accept the premise that getting adequate nutrition to paralyzed children is an impossible challenge, rather than something doctors routinely do all over the place, or wherever there is an adequate ordinary supply of food and medical equipment and the hospitals aren't being bombed.

The True Cost of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on Family BusinessIn this episode of Fearless Family Business, Adam critically examines a recent piece of legislation—referred to as Donald Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill'—that entails multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, program cuts, and spending increases. Adam argues that while some may benefit financially in the short term, the bill has dire long-term implications for family businesses and society as a whole. Key points include the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis through increased immigration enforcement, the enlargement of the federal deficit, and the widening wealth gap. Adam advocates for investment in education, healthcare, and inclusion as essential pathways for sustainable economic prosperity and value creation. The episode underscores the need for family businesses to focus on innovation and long-term legacy rather than short-term gains.00:00 Introduction: The Big Beautiful Bill00:19 Why I Oppose the Bill01:46 Overview of the Legislation03:51 Impact on Social Programs and Defense Spending06:44 Humanitarian Crisis and Immigration Enforcement10:35 Deficit and Fiscal Responsibility22:06 Wealth Gap and Value Creation26:38 Conclusion: A Call to Action for Family Businesses

In Donald Trump's first term, he was furious that people were investigating his connections to Russia—“Russia, Russia, Russia,” he complained. Now, as Trump fulfills a campaign promise of retribution, his Administration has put the Russia “hoax” back into the headlines. They claim to have opened investigations into the former F.B.I. director James Comey and the former C.I.A. director John Brennan. A career C.IA. officer, Brennan served nearly thirty years, holding senior positions under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama; his tenure included the controversial drone program, as well as the infamous Steele dossier on Trump during the 2016 election. David Remnick speaks with Brennan about why Trump officials are re-investigating old business. Are there real issues, or is this an attempt to direct the news cycle away from Jeffrey Epstein? “I've seen reports in the press that I'm under investigation,” Brennan points out. “But I've not heard anything from the Department of Justice, or the F.B.I., or the C.I.A., or the Office of Director of National Intelligence. No one has contacted me about anything.”

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: “Zoran Mamdani,” the Times writes, “is unleashing a full-scale charm offensive of private meetings, phone calls, and public promises aimed at wooing top party leaders, donors, and activists,” and runs through a list of the meetings that he's taken with influence groups and elected officials. But underneath that, it's a story about the lack of sophistication on the side that considers itself more sophisticated. “In his meetings,” the Times writes, “Mr. Mamdani has surprised some Democrats with his affability and ability to listen to their concerns, perhaps hinting at his willingness to make some concessions.” If you're expressing surprise in July of 2025, that Zoran Mamdani is friendly and a good listener, what you're saying is that your understanding of New York City politics lags considerably behind that of the 573,000 people who voted for him.

The New Yorker recently published a report from Sudan, headlined “Escape from Khartoum.” The contributor Nicolas Niarchos journeyed for days through a conflict to reach a refugee camp in the Nuba Mountains, where members of the country's minority Black ethnic groups are seeking safety, but remain imperilled by hunger. The territory is “very significant to the Nuba people,” Niarchos explains to David Remnick. “They feel safe being there because they have managed to resist genocide before by hiding in these mountains. And then you start seeing the children with their distended bellies, and you start hearing the stories of the people who fled.” The civil war pits the Sudanese Army against a militia group called the Rapid Support Forces. Once allies in ousting Sudan's former President, the Army and the R.S.F. now occupy different parts of the country, destroying infrastructure in the opposing group's territory, and committing atrocities against civilians: killing, starvation, and widespread, systematic sexual violence. The warring parties are dominated by Sudan's Arabic-speaking majority, and “there's this very, very toxic combination of both supremacist ideology,” Niarchos says, and “giving ‘spoils' to troops instead of paying them.” One of Niarchos's sources, a man named Wanis, recalls an R.S.F. soldier telling him, “If you go to the Nuba Mountains, we'll reach you there. You Nuba, we're supposed to kill you like dogs.”
