In this episode of WorldView with Swasti, Dr Swasti Rao, Consulting Editor and Foreign Policy Expert, speaks with Gregory Priolon, former Intelligence Analyst at the French Air Force and Expert at “Intelligence Online”. The discussion uncovers risks of military technology leakage as global air-to-air warfare evolves. From expansion of the “Rafale Club” to the role of Pakistani pilots accessing Rafale's EW suite through countries like Qatar, the discussion highlights the dangers of cross-cutting defence value chains. This episode dives deep into the vulnerabilities surrounding the Rafale ecosystem and its electronic warfare suite, Spectra, through sales to countries that are detrimental to India's interests. The conversation highlights why Rafale exports to certain countries like Qatar and potentially to Bangladesh should raise red flags for India, how Qatari training programmes could expose sensitive systems to Pakistani pilots and the growing challenge posed by Turkey's expertise in reverse engineering. With Rafale central to both France's nuclear doctrine and India's frontline fleet, the episode closes by stressing why New Delhi must demand stronger guarantees in the next Rafale deal (MRFA) and build more sovereign countermeasures to safeguard its technological edge. #rafale #operationsindoor #pakistan #france #china #trump #defense

Thousands of Palestinians have started evacuating their homes ahead of planned Israeli military take over of Gaza city. Israel's plan to seize the City was approved this month by the security cabinet. A ceasefire proposal has been out forward by Eygpt and Qatar, but Israel has said it wont agree to it unless all 50 hostages captured in October 2023 are released in one go. The Israeli military has begun warning international organsations in Northern Gaza to plan for mass evacuations. Save The Children's Head of Operations in Gaza, Joel Onyeke spoke to Lisa Owen.

In a video address, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would begin negotiations to release all the hostages held in Gaza and end the war, on terms “acceptable to Israel”. It was Mr Netanyahu's first response to a temporary ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar that Hamas accepted on Monday. 27 countries have backed a statement calling for Israel to allow immediate independent foreign media access to Gaza. In Ukraine, President Zelensky calls on allies to put greater pressure on Moscow after more deadly Russian strikes, and the plight of thousands of Ukrainian children who have been abducted by Russia.

The New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz joins Tyler Foggatt for the latest installment of “How Bad Is It?,” a monthly series on the health of American democracy. Their guest is David D. Kirkpatrick, whose new investigation details the many ways President Donald Trump has profited during his second term—from a reported private jet gifted by Qatar to soaring valuations of Trump Media and a flood of crypto ventures. They discuss whether these attempts at self-enrichment amount to ordinary political corruption or whether they represent tools for consolidating power which could accelerate democratic backsliding in the United States, much like in kleptocracies and oligarchies abroad.This week's reading: “How Much Is Trump Profiting Off the Presidency?,” by David D.

C dans l'air du 21 août 2025 - Netanyahu / Trump : leur plan pour Gaza L'étau se resserre dans l'enclave palestinienne. Dans le cadre du plan de Netanyahu visant à conquérir Gaza, les autorités israéliennes ont détaillé comment elles étendront leur emprise sur la population gazaouie. L'armée se préparerait à une « opération prolongée de plusieurs mois ». Selon Effie Defrin, porte-parole de l'armée israélienne, Tsahal aurait déjà entamé les opérations militaires en périphérie de Gaza-ville.Si le Hamas a accepté un projet de cessez-le-feu proposé par l'Egypte et le Qatar, le gouvernement israélien n'y a toujours pas répondu. Les préparations militaires actuelles laissent peu d'espoir. D'autant que l'État hébreu a donné son accord à un projet de colonisation d'une zone située à l'est de Jérusalem, qui couperait la Cisjordanie en deux et compromettrait plus encore la création d'un État palestinien. Ce qui n'est pas pour plaire à Emmanuel Macron, qui reconnaitra en septembre cet état. Netanyahu l'accuse de nourrir l'antisémitisme. Pendant ce temps, le carnage continu, et la situation humanitaire est désastreuse. C dans l'air est allé à la rencontre d'une coordinatrice de Médecins sans Frontières. De retour de Gaza, elle décrit une famine et une urgence sanitaire extrême, avec un grand manque de moyen dans les hôpitaux. Les Gazouis sont surtout incapables de fuir, et la communauté internationale semble impuissante.En France, les actes antisémites se multiplient depuis le début du conflit. La semaine dernière, c'est un arbre à la mémoire d'Ilan Halimi qui a été coupé de façon malveillante. Ce jeune homme de confession juive avait été torturé à mort en 2006. La France insoumise, elle, est pointée du doigt pour ses dérapages à répétitions. Le député socialiste Jérôme Guedj dénonce une dérive de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, qui attiserait volontairement l'antisémitisme. Alors, peut-on stopper Netanyahu dans son plan de conquête de Gaza ? Quelle est la situation humanitaire en Palestine ? Les Insoumis attisent-ils l'antisémitisme ?LES EXPERTS :Anthony BELLANGER : Editorialiste à Franceinfo TV, spécialistes des questions internationalesAlexandra SCHWARTZBROD : Directrice adjointe de la rédaction de LibérationAlain PIROT : Journaliste et réalisateur, spécialiste des questions de défenseMay MAALOUF : Politologue, spécialiste du Moyen Orient, chercheure associée à l'iReMMO

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's crackdown on Democrat-led policies in crime, immigration, and trucking safety, plus a listener-led Q&A block on Ukraine, Venezuela, Gaza, medical marijuana, and Made in the USA. From falling crime in Washington DC to looming military moves in Venezuela, today's brief brings you stories that cut across politics, national security, and everyday life. Trump's Crime Crackdown in Washington DC: New data from the DC police union shows carjackings down 83 percent, robberies down 46 percent, and overall violent crime down 22 percent since Trump deployed National Guard troops. Nearly 500 arrests have been made, about half involving immigration-related crimes. The DOJ is also investigating whether DC officials manipulated past crime stats. Illegal Alien Truck Driver Kills Three in Florida: An Indian national living illegally in the U.S. caused a fatal crash after making an illegal U-turn in a semi-truck. He previously avoided deportation under Biden-era policies and held a CDL despite failing basic competency tests. The administration is now reviewing how hundreds of thousands of foreign-born drivers obtained licenses. Where Are Biden's 300,000 Missing Migrant Children: A DHS report shows hundreds of thousands of migrant children placed with unvetted sponsors or lost entirely by the Biden administration. Bryan shares a personal story that illustrates the dangers, arguing the failures amount to deliberate negligence. Listener Question — U.S. Boots on the Ground in Ukraine and Venezuela: Trump assures no American troops will deploy to Ukraine, but his administration is sending warships toward Venezuela amid pressure on dictator Nicolás Maduro. Bryan explains the risks of military entanglement and the key questions leaders must ask before committing U.S. forces abroad. Listener Question — Is Israel to Blame in Gaza: Negotiators from Egypt and Qatar offered Hamas a chance to disarm and cede control of Gaza in exchange for safe haven abroad, but Hamas refused. Bryan explains why Palestinian rejection of Israel's existence keeps war inevitable, despite alternatives for peace. Listener Question — Does Marijuana Really Relieve Pain: A Pennsylvania study finds most patients abandon medical cannabis within a year due to lack of results or side effects. Bryan highlights research showing placebo treatments can trigger natural pain relief, suggesting safer alternatives exist. Listener Question — What Happened to Made in the USA: With Americans prioritizing affordability over patriotism, Bryan previews tomorrow's counsel to Trump on how to restore U.S. manufacturing loyalty and revive his “Five Bucket Revolution.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump DC crime crackdown, National Guard Washington DC arrests, DC crime stats manipulation, illegal alien truck driver Florida crash, foreign-born CDL drivers, Biden missing migrant children, U.S. migrant child trafficking, Trump Ukraine security guarantees, U.S. warships Venezuela Maduro, Hamas rejects Gaza peace deal, Egypt Qatar Gaza plan, medical marijuana chronic pain study, placebo pain relief research, Made in the USA consumer loyalty, Trump Five Bucket Revolution

AP correspondent Mimmi Montgomery reports on ceasefire efforts in Gaza, after Hamas accepted a proposal from Arabic mediators.

Một quan chức cấp cao của Israel cho biết chính phủ vẫn kiên quyết kêu gọi trả tự do cho tất cả các con tin trong bất kỳ thỏa thuận ngừng bắn nào ở Gaza trong tương lai, sau khi Hamas chấp nhận đề xuất ngừng bắn mới. Các nhà hòa giải đang chờ đợi phản hồi chính thức của Israel đối với đề xuất mà Qatar cho là "gần như giống hệt" với đề xuất mà Israel đã chấp nhận.

A senior Israeli official says the government stands firm on its call for the release of all hostages in any future Gaza ceasefire deal, after Hamas accepted a new truce proposal. Mediators are awaiting Israel's official response to the proposal that Qatar says is "almost identical" to one already accepted by Israel.

Today's Headlines: After Trump's meeting with Putin, Zelensky and several spooked European leaders rushed to DC for damage control. Trump called his Oval Office chat with Zelensky their “best meeting yet” (not saying much), hinted at a three-way with Putin, and bragged Europe would “carry the burden” on Ukraine—all while admitting he'd already “spoken indirectly” with Putin. Meanwhile, Russian TV aired footage of U.S. equipment flying Russian and American flags near Zaporizhzhia. Back home, Trump announced an executive order to ban mail-in voting and attacked voting machines, echoing Putin's lines while undermining the constitutionality of state run elections. In related news, Newsmax agreed to pay Dominion $67 million for 2020 election lies, following big settlements with Smartmatic and Fox. In Texas, Democrats are back, clearing the way for Republicans to lock in five new House seats and in other potentially corrupt news, the White House was caught keeping a loyalty “scorecard” on businesses' support for Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” while they weigh taking a 10% stake in Intel—an unusually socialist-sounding move. Meanwhile, the DOJ is set to hand over long-delayed Epstein records, with Bill Barr insisting it was suicide despite “camera blind spots.” And reports say Trump officials helped spring an Israeli cybersecurity exec arrested in Nevada on child sex charges, flying him home before trial. Finally, Hamas has reportedly accepted a new ceasefire and hostage deal brokered by Egypt and Qatar, though Israel hasn't formally responded, and Netanyahu is still vowing a Gaza City offensive as over a million Israelis strike in protest.

C dans l'air du 19 août 2025 - Poutine / Zelensky : une rencontre à Genève...ou à Moscou?« Une très bonne réunion ». Voilà comment Trump a qualifié sa rencontré, hier, avec Zelensky. Loin du clash de février dernier, cette entrevue à la Maison Blanche semble avoir été constructive. Les garanties de sécurité seront fournies « par les différents pays européens, en coordination avec les États-Unis ». Et la tenue d'un sommet Zelensky – Poutine – Trump serait dans les tuyaux. Le chef du Kremlin, qui s'est entretenu hier au téléphone avec Trump, n'a pas fermé la porte. La présence des Européens a toutefois été demandée par Macron.Mais le flou persiste sur les concessions territoriales réclamées par la Russie. Celles-ci n'a pas été abordées lors des discussions. « Nous laisserons cette question entre moi et Poutine », a déclaré Zelensky. Enfin, au sujet d'un éventuel cessez-le-feu, Macron et Merz se sont opposés à Trump, qui ne juge pas une trêve nécessaire.Comment faire confiance à Poutine ? Le chef du Kremlin continue son rêve nostalgique d'une grande Russie. Lors de sa rencontre avec Trump en Alaska, son chef de la diplomatie, Sergueï Lavrov, était habillé d'un sweat-shirt avec l'inscription "URSS". Une séquence célébrée par les propagandistes russes (acteurs des médias ou protagonistes du Kremlin) qui mènent depuis le début du conflit une guerre de l'information.Pendant ce temps, l'horreur continue à Gaza, et la communauté internationale fustige le projet de Netanyahu de prendre le contrôle du territoire. Le premier ministre israélien ne compte plus que sur le soutien de Trump. Des milliers d'Israéliens se sont réunis dans les rues de Tel-Aviv ce dimanche pour demander la fin de la guerre. Le Hamas, lui, vient d'accepter un projet de cessez-le-feu proposé par l'Egypte et le Qatar. Celui-ci prévoit une trêve de soixante jours en échange de la libération d'otages vivants et d'un retrait partiel de l'armée israélienne.Alors, que retenir de la rencontre Trump - Zelensky à la Maison Blanche ? Quelles sont les prochaines cibles de Poutine ? Où en est la situation à Gaza ?

« Depuis le début de la semaine, la tension monte entre les FARDC, les Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo, et la rébellion [du groupe] l'AFC/M23, l'Alliance Fleuve Congo. Les deux parties s'accusent mutuellement de violations répétées du cessez-le-feu alors que le processus de paix de Doha marque le pas » : constat établi par le site congolais Actualité CD. En effet, précise-t-il, d'un côté, « l'armée congolaise a dénoncé "l'attitude belliciste" de la coalition M23/AFC, accusée de mener de "multiples attaques" contre ses positions au Nord-Kivu et au Sud-Kivu, assorties de "massacres ciblés" de civils. » Et de l'autre, « l'AFC/M23 affirme que Kinshasa poursuit "ses manœuvres militaires offensives" en vue d'"un conflit à grande échelle", et ce malgré la signature de la Déclaration de principes du 19 juillet dernier à Doha. (…) Ces échanges de communiqués interviennent dans un contexte d'impasse diplomatique, relève encore Actualité CD. Les discussions directes prévues il y a 10 jours à Doha entre le gouvernement congolais et l'AFC/M23 n'ont pas eu lieu. Selon la médiation qatarienne, les deux parties "continuent de travailler" à la mise en œuvre de la déclaration de principes, notamment sur la création d'un mécanisme, avec la participation de la Croix-Rouge internationale, pour l'échange de prisonniers. Ce point, qui devait être réglé avant le 29 juillet, bloque la suite du processus. » Négociations au point mort Le Monde Afrique s'interroge : « Le Qatar parviendra-t-il à ramener la RDC et les rebelles de l'AFC-M23 à la table des négociations ? Alors que les parties devaient conclure un "accord de paix global" censé mettre fin aux violences qui déchirent l'est congolais au plus tard hier, 18 août, rien n'a été signé et les négociations semblent au point mort. » Et « les combats ont repris au Sud-Kivu, constate également Le Monde Afrique, notamment où le M23 est en train de conquérir des espaces dans le territoire de Walungu, au sud-ouest de la capitale régionale, Bukavu. "La seule certitude pour le moment, c'est qu'on est dans un enlisement diplomatique complet", résume Onesphore Sematumba, spécialiste de la RDC pour International Crisis Group. » Parmi les points de tension, note encore le journal, outre la question de la libération des prisonniers, il y a celle du « rétablissement de l'autorité de l'État congolais (…) : pour Kinshasa, cela signifie que le M23 doit quitter Goma et Bukavu au plus vite. Mais le mouvement rebelle s'efforce au contraire de reconstruire ce qu'il appelle un "État" dans les "territoires libérés". » À lire aussiPaix en RDC : entre restauration de l'État et projet fédéral, le bras de fer entre Kinshasa et l'AFC/M23 Coup de pression de Washington ? Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC, résume ainsi la situation : « à Doha, Kinshasa et l'AFC/M23 n'ont pas avancé d'un iota et l'impasse des discussions se paie « cash » sur le terrain. (…) Pour débloquer la situation, deux options sont sur la table, estime Afrikarabia : un énième coup de pression de Washington, qui hésite pour l'instant à endosser le rôle du gendarme, ou bien une reprise des affrontements directs entre l'armée congolaise, qui s'est considérablement renforcée, et l'AFC/M23, qui a énormément recruté et maîtrise encore le terrain dans les zones qu'elle contrôle. Mais le temps presse. L'impasse à Doha retarde l'ensemble du processus de paix globale et la mise en œuvre de l'accord de Washington. Un blocage qui fait craindre un nouvel embrasement de l'est congolais. » Le Kenya jette un pavé dans la mare D'autant, complète Le Pays au Burkina, que « dans cette guerre sans fin qui ne dit pas encore son nom, certains pays donnent l'impression de pêcher en eaux troubles pour mieux tirer leurs marrons du brasier congolais. » En effet, relève le quotidien ouagalais, « dans ce contexte particulièrement explosif, la nomination par le Kenya d'un consul à Goma, occupée par le M23/AFC, ne passe pas aux yeux des autorités de Kinshasa qui y voient une forme de légitimation de l'occupation de la ville par les rebelles. Une situation qui pourrait exacerber les tensions avec Kinshasa qui a toujours accusé Nairobi de parti pris pour Kigali, connue pour son soutien au M23. C'est donc le lieu d'appeler la médiation internationale à redoubler d'efforts, s'exclame Le Pays, en pesant de tout son poids pour que les uns et les autres reviennent à de meilleurs sentiments et tiennent leurs engagements, pour donner une chance à la paix, afin de ne pas prolonger inutilement les souffrances des populations. »  À lire aussiPaix en RDC : l'AFC-M23 et le gouvernement congolais vont-ils reprendre le dialogue ?

Este domingo Israel vivió uno de los días de protesta más intensos de su historia reciente. Cientos de miles de personas salieron a la calle para demandar el fin inmediato de la guerra en Gaza y la liberación de los rehenes secuestrados por Hamás. Las manifestaciones, organizadas por las familias de los secuestrados, se extendieron por todo el país y culminaron en una huelga general que paralizó el tráfico y afectó incluso a escuelas y servicios públicos. Las protestas comenzaron temprano. Los manifestantes bloquearon autopistas y avenidas de ciudades como Tel Aviv, Jerusalén y Haifa. En Tel Aviv, el epicentro de las manifestaciones, alrededor de medio millón de personas se concentró en torno a la plaza de los Rehenes. Según estimaciones de los organizadores, más de un millón de israelíes participaron a lo largo del día en alguna de las concentraciones, lo que representa una de las movilizaciones más grandes desde el inicio del conflicto en octubre de 2023. Los manifestantes llevaban pancartas con fotos de los rehenes, banderas israelíes y lemas como "Traigan de vuelta a los 50 secuestrados" y "Fin a la guerra ya". En poder de Hamas permanecen en cautiverio dentro de Gaza unos 50 israelíes de los más de 250 secuestrados durante el atentado del 7 de octubre de 2023. Encuestas recientes indican que la mayor parte de la población israelí apoya un acuerdo de alto al fuego que incluya la liberación de todos los rehenes a cambio de un fin definitivo a las hostilidades. La respuesta de las autoridades no se hizo esperar. La policía israelí desplegó cañones de agua para dispersar a los manifestantes en varios puntos, lo que resultó en al menos 38 detenciones por alteración del orden público y bloqueo de calles. En Jerusalén hubo choques violentos entre la policía y los manifestantes cuando éstos se intentaron acercar a la residencia de Benjamin Netanyahu. El propio Netanyahu criticó las manifestaciones. Acusó a los manifestantes de reforzar a Hamás en las negociaciones y poner en riesgo la seguridad nacional. La situación política en Israel es explosiva. La guerra se ha cobrado la vida de más de 2.000 israelíes y la sociedad muestra signos de fatiga y división. La ONU y muchos de los aliados tradicionales de Israel han pedido a un alto al fuego inmediato para aliviar la crisis humanitaria que se vive en la franja de Gaza. Pero las negociaciones, mediadas por Estados Unidos, Qatar y Egipto, siguen estancadas. Hamás exige la retirada completa del ejército israelí, los israelíes por su parte quieren eliminar a Hamas. No hay, por lo tanto, puntos de acuerdo esenciales y eso ha impedido hasta la fecha alcanzar el ansiado armisticio. El Gobierno israelí, entretanto, ha puesto en marcha este mismo mes un ambicioso plan para que el ejército tome la capital de la franja. Con ello esperan desmantelar el último bastión de Hamas. Este plan contempla la evacuación de aproximadamente un millón de civiles hacia el sur. El plan no es del gusto de todos en Israel ya que, aparte de poner el riesgo la vida de los rehenes, agravará la crisis humanitaria y sobrecargará a un ejército ya agotado tras casi dos años de guerra.

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful conversation on freedom, reform, and the unfinished business of the Middle East. Faisal is an Iraqi refugee who lived through the chaos of Saddam's fall and the U.S. invasion. He recounts his journey from Baghdad to America, and how those experiences shaped his mission to promote secularism, literacy, and critical thinking in the Arab world. He exposes how extremism thrives on ignorance, and why authoritarian regimes—from Iraq to Qatar—use culture, religion, and oil wealth to maintain power.They discuss the failures of U.S. foreign policy, Trump's controversial deals with Gulf states, and the ongoing struggle for genuine reform in a region caught between dictatorship and jihadism. Faisal argues that real change must come from empowering young people with ideas, not weapons.All this—the Iraq War, Qatar's influence, the dangers of authoritarianism, and one man's fight to build a freer Middle East…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 04:52 Christopher Hitchens' Influence and the Iraq War17:23 Obama's Foreign Policy and Its Impact on Iraq 28:22 Trump's Foreign Policy and Qatar's Role45:51 Qatar's Influence on American Institutions 52:15 Syria and the Persecution of Minorities1:05:51 Recognition of Palestine as a State 1:29:23 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked yesterday by talk radio host Sid Rosenberg, “Why wouldn't you guys designate the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR?” He responded,  “All of that is in the works. Obviously, there are different branches of the Muslim Brotherhood, so you'd have to designate each one of them.” Those who have enabled that Sharia-supremacist – and therefore terrorism-tied – group and its fronts like the Council on American-Islamic Relations to metastasize in this country will surely mobilize to prevent their designations as such. Qatar, Turkey and jihadist organizations they support will use their considerable influence and operatives to protect the Brothers.  Still, nine years ago this week, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump pledged that “the support networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one.” That's a promise made that must be kept now. This is Frank Gaffney.

Send us a textThe line between political theater and public safety has never been more blurred than in President Trump's recent declaration of a "crime emergency" in Washington DC. Despite data showing violent crime at a 30-year low and homicides down 34% from 2023, the administration has invoked rarely-used powers to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department—a move Mayor Muriel Bowser calls "unsettling and unprecedented."What happens when statistics contradict political narratives? We dig beneath the surface to examine what's really happening in our nation's capital. The numbers tell a compelling story: murders down from 274 in 2023 to 187 in 2024, carjackings decreased by 87%, and overall violent crime rates lower than during any year of Trump's first administration. Yet the administration's executive order explicitly claims crime is "rising" in the capital, setting a concerning precedent for federal intervention in locally-governed cities.Beyond this high-profile takeover lies an equally troubling story receiving far less attention—the quiet diversion of $934 million from nuclear missile modernization funds to outfit a luxury Boeing 747 jet donated by Qatar. This aircraft, intended for Trump's use but unlikely to be ready until after his term ends, represents an alarming shift in national security priorities that's happening with minimal public scrutiny.We also explore a moment of perfect irony: a Trump Burger restaurant owner in Texas facing deportation as an undocumented immigrant, highlighting the complex relationship between political identity and real-world consequences. These stories together paint a portrait of an America where perception often trumps reality, and where the implications for democracy demand our closest attention.Join us as we cut through the rhetoric to understand what these developments mean for local governance, federal power, and the future of American democracy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dQszSMliVA Alan Skorski had the opportunity to interview the foremost expert on Islamism and the Arab world, Dr. Mordechai Kedar. Dr. Kedar also served for 25 years in the IDF Military Intelligence Unit specializing in Syria, Arab political discourse, Arab mass media, Islamic groups, and Israeli Arabs. As someone who is fluent in Arabic, Dr. Kedar is often invited onto Arab and Muslim news programs to give his perspective on the news of the day, especially during times of war and conflict. 30 years ago, Dr. Kedar proposed the “8-state” solution to address the Israeli conflict with those Arabs identifying as Palestinian, having recognized what most of the world refused to, that there can never be and will never be a “2 -State solution” with any faction or offshoot of the PLO or Fatah. In the interview, Skorski reminded the audience that we are coming up on 700 days since the Hamas Muslim Brotherhood slaughtered over 1200 Israeli citizens and kidnapped over 250 innocent hostages on October 7, 2023. Since then, the IDF has surgically crushed the infrastructures in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. The media and so-called “humanitarian groups,” have focused all their attention on Gaza, accusing Israel of war crimes and genocide for allegedly withholding food from Gaza's civilians. In response, the morally bankrupt leaders in Europe, led by France and Britain, and followed by Canada, have threatened to recognize “Palestine” as some sort of punishment against Israel. These leaders claim that only a “2-state” solution will lead to peace and security. Never mind that the Palestinian Authority has rejected every offer made to them, and that Gaza was an independent state, NO PALESTINIAN leader is even calling for “2 states.” From the River to the Sea, opposes 2 states. There is only solution, intifada Revolution rejects 2 states. YET, Europe, western media, and many Democrats in America are calling for a “Palestine” that Palestinians don't want. In early July, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sheikh Wadee' al-Jaabari and four other prominent clan leaders from Hebron had signed a letter pledging peace and full recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Their plan: Hebron would secede from the Palestinian Authority, establish an independent emirate, and join the Abraham Accords. With this news report, Dr. Kedar's 30 year-old prophecy resurfaced with renewed interest for his “8-state” solution, which would cut out the Palestinian terrorist leadership, and replace them with Arab tribal leaders to rule over themselves in designated Arab-run territories. Dr. Kedar cited Countries where clans have their own separate autonomy are more successful. We see this in countries such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, that have economic stability, safety, law, and order. These countries, by no coincidence, are run by clans: al-Sabah (Kuwait), al-Thani (Qatar), al-Nahayan (Abu Dhabi), al-Saud (Saudi Arabia), al-Hashem (Jordan), and so on. Compare these to the Arab countries where the clans are in disarray, such as Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Dr. Kedar is the Vice President of a recently launched App, News-Rael that gives up to the minute accurate news items about Israel and the Middle East. Alan Skorski Reports 11AUG2025 - PODCAST

C dans l'air du 9 août 2025 - Gaza : qui peut arrêter Netanyahu ?Emission présentée par Salhia BrakhliaEn Israël, c'est la stupeur qui domine après l'annonce cette semaine par Benyamin Netanhayu de son intention de "prendre le contrôle" de la bande de Gaza. Ce plan, examiné par le cabinet de sécurité jeudi, vise notamment le quart de territoire qui n'est pas encore sous contrôle israélien, et notamment Gaza ville où vivent 1 million de Palestiniens. Le gouvernement se donne jusqu'à la date symbolique du 7 octobre pour accomplir son objectif. Depuis deux jours, les questions se multiplient : où iront les centaines de milliers de Gazaouis évacués ? Par qui seront-ils gérés ? Et qui administrera l'enclave une fois l'armée israélienne partie ? Pour de nombreux observateurs, le plan de Netanyahu relève davantage de l'idéologie que de la stratégie militaire, en témoigne cette lettre signée par 600 anciens responsables de la sécurité israéliens et adressée à Donald Trump pour lui demander de faire pression sur Israël et de mettre fin à la guerre à Gaza.En Europe, les lignes bougent aussi. Deuxième fournisseur d'armes d'Israël après les Etats-Unis, l'Allemagne a annoncé la suspension de toute exportation d'armes susceptibles d'être utilisées dans le conflit "jusqu'à nouvel ordre". Le ministre des affaires étrangères français, Jean-Noël Barrot, a condamné le plan israélien, estimant que cela "ne ferait qu'aggraver une situation déjà catastrophique". Une réunion d'urgence du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU doit aussi se tenir aujourd'hui.Aux États-Unis, celui qui avait pris l'habitude de soutenir bruyamment les décisions de Benyamin Netanyahu est resté étrangement silencieux cette semaine. Soutien tacite ? Toujours est-il qu'après des mois des mois à accorder son blanc sein au Premier ministre israélien, Donald Trump semble un peu plus embarrassé par son allié. Fin juillet, lors d'un voyage en Écosse, il a publiquement démenti Netanyahu qui avait insinué qu'il n'y avait pas de famine à Gaza : "D'après ce que l'on voit à la télévision, (…) ces enfants ont l'air très affamés", avait dit Trump, "ce n'est pas un trucage". Selon la chaîne américaine ABC, Donald Trump se serait même emporté au téléphone quand son allié lui aurait expliqué que ces images étaient manipulées par le Hamas.Côté arabe, le sujet palestinien continue d'embarrasser les monarchies du Golf ou encore l'Égypte, tous soutenus militairement par les États-Unis et certains commerçant encore avec Israël. Le 7 août, l'Égypte a signé un accord d'une valeur de 30 milliards d'euros avec l'État hébreu pour la livraison de gaz naturel israélien. Signe du malaise, en Égypte et en Jordanie, pays frontaliers de la bande de Gaza, les manifestations propalestiniennes, ne sont plus autorisées. Fin juillet, plusieurs pays arabes dont Arabie saoudite, le Qatar et l'Égypte ont publiquement appelé le Hamas à se désarmer, pour confier l'administration de Gaza à l'autorité palestinienne. Le Hamas a répondu en les accusant de lâcher le peuple palestinien.À quoi peut ressembler la mise en œuvre du plan de Netanyahu pour Gaza ? Où vont aller les centaines de milliers de Gazaouis évacués de l'enclave ? Pourquoi les relations entre Donald Trump et Benjamin Netanyahu se sont récemment dégradées ? Et comment expliquer la position des pays arabes avec le peuple palestinien ?LES EXPERTS :- George MALBRUNOT - Grand reporter, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient - Le Figaro- Frédérique SCHILLO - Historienne, spécialiste d'Israël- Laurence DEFRANOUX - Journaliste service international - Libération- Guillaume AUDA - Auteur, grand reporter, ancien correspondant à Jérusalem

Ed Cox, State GOP Chairman, reflects on Rudy Giuliani's controversial endorsement of Democrat Mario Cuomo years ago, defending his own role in lending Giuliani a plane at the time, shifting to the rise of progressive political energy in New York, tracing it back to Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign and the emergence of figures like AOC and Zohran Mamdani. Cox discusses how Mamdani has built strong grassroots support, particularly within the Muslim and Bangladeshi communities. Despite criticism for being anti-police, he was respectfully received at the funeral for the Muslim NYPD officer who was murdered in the midtown shooting earlier this week. Cox also dives into international politics, highlighting comments from the Israeli Consul General about Hamas stealing food aid in Gaza and Qatar's financial involvement with Hamas, allegedly with Mossad's cooperation.

Judge Richard Weinberg joins the program to discuss misinformation about Israel's actions in Gaza. He stresses that Israel is the only country that supplies food, water, and electricity to an enemy during wartime, and blames Hamas for misappropriating aid and oppressing its own people. Weinberg calls accusations of Israeli-inflicted famine a “blood libel.” The conversation then turns to foreign influence in American universities, highlighting how countries like Qatar allegedly fund institutions to install ideologically aligned professors, contrasting with Jewish donors who simply fund buildings. They discuss the long-standing threat of the Muslim Brotherhood and foreign governments using U.S. institutions for subversion. Finally, Judge Weinberg raises concerns about an appeals court case challenging President Trump's authority to impose tariffs, framing it as a potential constitutional battle over presidential powers in trade policy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice start today's show with Trump's late night tariff announcement which sets a 35% tariff on Canada, but only really affects 10% of goods that fall outside of CUSMA. The punishing tariffs on aluminum, steel, and the auto industry, however, remain. Why did Mark Carney not try to strike a deal before today's deadline? What will happen if CUSMA protections are removed in a future deal? And how should Canada prioritize its sovereignty and self-respect in negotiations that give us privileged access to the US market? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about Canada's announcement that it will join France and the UK in recognizing Palestinian statehood at the UN in September. While it is understandable that western governments want to do something to stop the carnage in Gaza and bring an end to this war, this type of political statement emboldens Hamas and makes the conflict more intractable and less solvable. In the midst of this turmoil, however, came a surprising announcement from surrounding Arab countries: the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and several others called on Hamas to disarm and end its rule over the war torn strip. Is this the start of the end for the terrorist group's reign in Gaza?

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and the rest of the 22-member Arab League have signed a formal declaration condemning Hamas's barbaric 7 October massacre, calling on the terror group to disarm, surrender control of Gaza, and release the remaining Israeli hostages. We'll have the details. Later in the show—one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded struck off the coast of Russia's remote Far East early Wednesday, triggering tsunamis and prompting evacuations throughout the Pacific.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporter Tal Schneider and diplomatic reporter Nava Freiberg join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Tuesday that the UK would recognize a Palestinian state in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the war and humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, and meets several other conditions, including recommitting to a viable peace process. This is happening while, for the past several days, high-level representatives at a UN conference have urged Israel to commit to a Palestinian state. We discuss fallout to Starmer's announcement, the “New York Declaration” and which other states may follow suit in potentially recognizing Palestine this fall. In his announcement, Starmer said that Israel could forestall the recognition by reaching a ceasefire in Gaza, making clear that it will not annex the West Bank (or Gaza), and committing to a peace process that results in a two-state solution. This comes as there are increased rumors of plans to annex parts of the Gaza Strip. But are these rumors just a negotiation tactic? Schneider weighs in. At the NY two-state solution conference this week, Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, signed a declaration condemning for the first time Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, and calling on the Palestinian terror group to release all the hostages it is holding, disarm and end its rule of Gaza, in a bid to end the devastating war in the Strip. Schneider and Freiberg explain that all may not be as laudable it seems. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show,  there are self-proclaimed MAGA supporters who trash America, exhibit antisemitism, align with foreign adversaries like Qatar, Iran, and Russia, and seek to undermine Trump's presidency. Don't believe the hype of those attacking President Trump. After everything that Trump has done so far to make this country great again, he will not be stopped, no matter how many attacks are thrown on him. Also, Trump's increasing Supreme Court victories are validation against rogue judges. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration's authority to fire over 1,300 Department of Education workers. The President, as head of the executive branch, has inherent authority over staffing and operations. This decision restores executive control against ‘untouchable' government jobs and programs. Later, Trump's leadership has pressured NATO allies to increase defense spending, strengthening the alliance. Trump facilitated the sale of U.S.-manufactured weapons to NATO, which are then provided to Ukraine for defense against Russia, ensuring NATO foots the bill, not the U.S. This is the smart way to bring peace, not expand war. Afterward, what is authoritarian about supporting border security, deporting illegal immigrants, supporting police, school choice, tax cuts, and Second Amendment rights? Marxists and Islamists manipulate language via deception, fear-mongering, and coercion. This approach arouses prejudices, suppresses independent thought, and controls populations by dismissing morality as relative or illusory, concealing societal exploitation. In politics, it undermines democracy by withholding information for informed decisions, inciting destructive actions that serve demagogues while corrupting legitimate governance based on public consent.
