12th President of Turkey
POPULARITY

This week President Erdogan said Turkey had entered a ‘new juncture' in the Kurdish peace process, signalling he was open to the idea of jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan addressing lawmakers. In another startling move, he also suggested that he was open to the release of the jailed Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirtaş. Lisel Hintz, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and an expert on Turkey, joins Thanos Davelis to break down what these steps could mean for the Kurdish peace process.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdoğan says Turkey has entered ‘new juncture' in Kurdish peace processIonian Sea gas exploration deal a ‘vote of confidence'Greece deepens US energy ties with first gas exploration deal in 40 yearsAnkara dismisses Eurofighter use conditions
Bei einer Kundgebung 2017 in Bern zeigten Demonstrierende ein Transparent mit der Aufschrift «Kill Erdogan». Nun bestätigt das Bundesgericht: Die vom Berner Obergericht verhängten Geldstrafen gegen vier Personen wegen des Mitführens des Transparents sind rechtskräftig. Weitere Themen: Die steigenden Krankenkassenprämien sind eine der Hauptsorgen der Schweizer Bevölkerung. Deren Stimme findet in den Verhandlungen aber kaum Gehör. Dagegen formiert sich allmählich Widerstand. So auch an einer Tagung in Bern. Die Waadtländer Regierung will nächstes Jahr insgesamt 300 Millionen Franken einsparen. Die Einsparungen treffen vor allem Schulen, Spitäler, Heime und Sozialdienste. Kampflos wollen die Staatsangestellten den Sparentscheid aber nicht hinnehmen.

- Wahlen in den Niederlanden mit überraschend guten Nachrichten gegen rechts- Merz' Besuch in der Türkei mit mehr Dialog statt Konfrontation- Wiederaufnahme der Atomtests in den USA- Trump mit Xi Jinping, Trump in Japan, in Südkorea- immer mehr Farmer in den USA gehen Pleite- in Brasilien eskaliert der Kampf gegen Drogenbanden mit vielen unbeteiligten Opfern- verheerende Folgen des Wirbelsturms Melissa in Jamaika und auf Kuba- wieder Angriffe in Gaza – aber der Waffenstillstand hält- weitere Beteiligte des Diebstahls im Louvre festgenommen und so weiter und so fort. Wer will, kann den ganzen Tag solche Nachrichten sehen und hören und lesen.Da gibt es aber auch ein Gegengewicht. In der kurzen Lesung für heute steht im Jakobusbrief: "Redet und handelt wie Menschen, die nach dem Gesetz der Freiheit gerichtet werden! Denn das Gericht ist erbarmungslos gegen den, der kein Erbarmen gezeigt hat. Barmherzigkeit aber triumphiert über das Gericht."Das klingt zunächst weltfremd. Aber im Vergleich mit den Nachrichten aus unseren letzten Tagen bekommt das einen ganz neuen Touch: Es ist nicht weltfremd, aus einer Verantwortung für eine gute Zukunft nicht Hass und Hetze zu wählen. Es ist nicht weltfremd, sich gegen immer mehr atomares Wettrüsten und Testen zu entscheiden. Es ist nicht weltfremd, sich um in Not geratene Mitmenschen weltweit zu mühen. Es ist nicht weltfremd, dialogbereit zu sein und trotzdem für Menschenrechte einzutreten und so weiter und so fort. Und der letzte Satz im Text ist der Knaller: "Barmherzigkeit aber triumphiert über das Gericht." Das werden die Herren Trump und Putin und Xi Jinping und Lula und Erdogan sehr anders sehen. Ich aber nicht. Und viele andere auch nicht. Auch wenn es nach der Lage der Dinge weltweit so scheinen mag.
A little over 2 years ago, the October 7th attack by Hamas shifted the world's attention away from the newly announced India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, or IMEEC, a project Greece and Cyprus are also vying to play a key role in. With the Israel-Gaza ceasefire in place, is it now time to revive this project? Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why it's time to refocus on IMEEC, and how Greece and Cyprus have the potential to be crucial lynchpins in this project.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:For India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor to succeed, Delhi must invest more in Greece and CyprusRiver diversions to end Attica drought riskMerz backs Turkey's EU bid despite strains over Gaza, rightsTurkey and Germany must focus on joint defence projects, Erdogan says

More than 25 percent of countries around the world are currently governed by populists, from Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, to Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, and Donald Trump in the United States. Based on these findings, populism is at an all-time high, and taking a significant economic toll, according to a recent paper by Christoph Trebesch and his co-authors.Trebesch is Professor of Economics at Kiel University. He and his co-authors find that populism leads to slower economic growth, undermines democratic institutions, and can leave the country more vulnerable to future populist governments.

Send us a textNext February, Canongate will publish Nation of Strangers, the third instalment in a series by Turkish novelist, essayist and journalist Ece Temelkuran. Ahead of its publication we met to discuss the two books that precede it, ‘How To Lose A Country' and ‘Together - A Manifesto Against A Heartless World.' Both deal with what Ece has termed ‘cloud fascism' - the gradual then sudden everywhereness and nowhereness of global autocracy.Rooted in her own experience of the Erdogan regime's corruption and unrelenting assault on human rights, both books detail the dark drift toward fascism and the determination and dignity needed in resistance. In this wide ranging conversation, the first of two interviews, we discuss the normalisation of shamelessness, the dangers of pseudo-understanding, the fight for institutions and the essential value of stories, something Ece describes as ‘natural penicillin for diseases of the soul. ‘Ece Temelkuran is an award-winning Turkish novelist, political thinker and public speaker whose work has appeared in the Guardian, New York Times, Le Monde, La Stampa, El Pais, New Statesman and Der Spiegel. Her novels have been published in several languages and adapted for the stage.‘One of the most acute and perceptive analysts of the furtive growth of fascism. Everyone should know about this.'PHILIP PULLMAN‘This is essential.'MARGARET ATWOOD‘Temelkuran is a brilliant writer, finding humour, hope and humanity in the darkest corners of our current malaise. Together lifted my heart and my spirits.'BRIAN ENO‘A potent mix of fierce urgency but unyielding calmness.'THE IRISH TIMESMusic used on this episode is Room 2 by 36 @fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine
Ex-Muslim commentator Ridvan Aydemir (Apostate Prophet) returns to Jerusalem after converting to Christianity, debunking claims that Christians are mistreated in Israel and blasting Western media narratives. He argues the core doctrines of Islam—not just “radicals”—drive extremism, cites the Hamas charter, urges Muslims to leave Islam and warns Europe could face separatist Muslim autonomy movements. He calls Turkey's Erdogan a bluffer, says he feels safer in Israel than in London and urges “peace through strength.”

Nederland is de enige democratie ter wereld waar een dode politicus met een fantoompartij bij Tweede Kamerverkiezingen ooit 26 zetels won. Nederland is evenzeer befaamd om miljoenen burgers die, voorafgaande aan de verkiezingen, met opgeheven vinger en grote stelligheid beweren dat het dit keer onmogelijk wordt om een coalitie te vormen. En Nederland is een land waar zo’n coalitie er altijd komt. Nooit niet. Kan soms even duren, maar een kniesoor die daarop let. Nederland is ook verslaafd aan clichés die, altijd in een wat andere variant, blijven terugkeren. Zoals ‘strategisch stemmen’ – wat dat ook moge betekenen. Ander voorbeeld: sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog is er geen dag verstreken zonder woningnood. Met, net als nu, elke keer weer nieuwe schijnoplossingen. In de jaren 50 en 60 bedacht de regering ‘woningwetwoningen’, 55 vierkante meter oppervlakte, allemaal identiek, tot aan de voorgeschreven keukenkastjes toe. Armoe troef en het hielp geen zier. De eerste gastarbeiders , zoals ze toen nog heetten, werden in de jaren 50 en 60 door het bedrijfsleven uit Italië, Spanje, Marokko en Turkije gehaald, vaak via koppelbazen, de voorlopers van mensensmokkelaars. Sindsdien hebben we een migratieprobleem. Als een volgend kabinet woningnood en migratieproblemen kan oplossen, zou dat een historisch unicum zijn. Maar hebben we wel zo veel te mopperen? Kijk eens naar de wereld om ons heen. Frankrijk, waar president Macron aan zijn achtste premier zit, met altijd dezelfde problemen: het pensioen verhogen van 62 naar 65, en de 32-urige werkweek verhogen naar 36 uur. Op het moment dat een premier dat onderwerp zelfs maar nóemt, ligt onmiddellijk Air France plat, en binnen een dag de rest van het bedrijfsleven. Of het Verenigd Koninkrijk, dat de prijs betaalt voor die idiote Brexit en sinds Tony Blair geen premier meer heeft gehad die het zorgstelsel draaiende hield. Nu stevent het af op de onvermijdelijke ondergang. Volgens onderzoek van de Würzburg Universiteit zijn 9 van de 27 EU-lidstaten falende democratieën. Nederland staat op de zevende plaats op de ranglijst – OK, maar zeker niet de top. Dat is dus binnen de EU. Buiten de EU kijken we maar even niet, al kost het moeite de ogen te sluiten voor Erdogan en Trump, die systematisch bezig zijn de democratie uit te schakelen. Deze dag is een dag om een vakje rood te kleuren. Ga dat doen. Hoeft niet uit overtuiging – mág natuurlijk best – maar meer uit hoop. Eén ding staat vast: dat kabinet komt er.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, On Monday's Mark Levin Show, 7 million old hippies turned out in the Democrat-Marxist-Islamist No Kings mini-parades on Saturday? Well, 330 million Americans did not. The tea party movements had massive rallies, and it wasn't just one day. How is this President a king? He's working through the courts when he's blocked on improving America. For example, in a victory for America the 9th Circuit court ruled that the National Guard can be deployed in Portland. Also, Democrats turned a continuing resolution into a government shutdown blackmail threat to reverse provisions of the big, beautiful bill. Later, Marxist-Islamist Zohran Mamdani is pro-terrorism - from his associations with Imam Siraj Wahaj, his support for Hamas, his calls to globalize the Intifada, and his ties to the Qatar royal family. If people in NYC vote for Mamdani, they are voting for somebody who embraces terrorists, terrorist organizations, and hence, by implication, terrorism. Mamdani is no moderate, he's a grave threat to the people in New York City. Phase II of the Gaza peace plan is the most challenging due to Hamas, which refuses to disarm or leave Gaza, abuses Palestinians, murders IDF soldiers, and repeatedly violates the ceasefire. Despite warnings from President Trump of potential obliteration, Hamas persists. Qatar's emir, a major Hamas funder and host to its leaders, accuses Israel of genocide and ceasefire breaches while calling for a Palestinian state. Turkey's Erdogan similarly harbors Hamas leaders, threatens Israel, and takes provocative actions. The ceasefire must be enforced urgently to stop ongoing murders and torture, and support should be given to Trump if he orders military action against Hamas. Mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy, and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He's a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won't be substantive at all. Learn more about your ad choices.

The landslide defeat of Turkey's ally in the Turkish Cypriot elections could now force President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to drop his push for a permanent partition of Cyprus and boost efforts to reset ties with the European Union. Securing 63 percent of the vote, Tufan Erhurman's victory in last weekend's election took Erdogan by surprise. “The defeat was so big, 63 percent was such a landslide, Ankara was really shocked,” said former Erdogan advisor Ilnur Cevik. Erhurman's Republican Turkish Party backs a united island. Erdogan supported incumbent Ersin Tatar, whose National Unity Party wants two separate states. “Ankara had amassed all its political clout on the island," Cevik added. "It had sent its vice president five times to the island; it had sent numerous delegations led by deputies and mayors.” It failed to win Turkish Cypriots over because “the essence of it was Turkey's interference, which created huge resentment among the Turkish Cypriots”, Cevik said. Cyprus has been split since Turkey invaded in 1974. Erdogan had pushed for international recognition of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, recognised only by Ankara. Turkey ready to help rebuild Gaza, but tensions with Israel could be a barrier Shift away from partition Analysts say Erhurman's win has dealt a final blow to Erdogan's two state strategy for Cyprus. “The two independent states idea was dead on arrival, and now it's officially dead,” said Soli Ozel, of Kadir Has University's International Relations Department. He said Erdogan's reaction to the election points to a change in approach. “President Erdogan's message of congratulations to [Erhurman] suggests at least for the moment he's ready to turn the page on that.” Erdogan's stance is very different to that of his coalition partner Devlet Bahceli, who called for the result to be overturned and for the north of the island to be integrated with Turkey. Former Turkish ambassador Selim Kuneralp said the election gives Erdogan a chance to drop a policy that has become a growing obstacle to improving EU defence relations. Turkey and Egypt's joint naval drill signals shifting Eastern Med alliances EU ties on the line Cyprus has long blocked Turkey's hopes of deeper EU defence cooperation and access to a 150 billion euro arms programme known as SAFE. “So far, everything has been blocked by the Cyprus problem,” said Kuneralp, adding that the election result offers a rare opening. “Now you've got these election results that open a small window. So that's why the present situation might not be so bad for Erdogan.” European governments see Turkey as an important partner in defending themselves against Russia. A shift to unification talks could suit both sides, analyst Soli Ozel said. “Given Russia's proclivities, it makes sense for [Turkey] to be part of SAFE. And it doesn't make sense for the Europeans because of the Greek and Greek Cypriot opposition to leaving Turkey out,” he said. Erdogan's Washington visit exposes limits of his rapport with Trump Changing priorities EU leaders have new priorities that could help clear a path. “The European Union is no longer the European Union of our grandmothers; the issues of human rights and rule of law no longer count for anything," Ozel said. "That's a relation that is cleared of its thorns.” Turkey's backsliding on democracy has long held back cooperation with Brussels. Human rights is not expected to feature much during German Chancellor Frederick Mertz's visit to Ankara later this month. Deepening defence ties is set to top the agenda, but how far Erdogan supports unification could decide his next steps with the EU.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Jeffrey Rosen calls in to discuss his new book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. Rosen explains the enduring clash between Hamilton's vision of a strong federal government and powerful executive, and Jefferson's emphasis on states' rights and individual liberties. Also, Phase two of the Gaza peace plan is highly complex involving numerous countries, governments, and figures like Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, and Dermer, who deserve credit for their efforts. However, Hamas, a terrorist group per its 1988 charter calling for Israel's destruction via jihad, establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia, rejection of negotiations, and anti-Semitic rhetoric, refuses to disarm or surrender, instead centralizing power by torturing and killing challengers among Palestinians. The world, including the UN, universities, and Hamas supporters, remains silent on Hamas's slaughter of fellow Palestinians. Qatar's Emir condemns Israel as committing genocide in Gaza, reaffirms support for Palestine without denouncing Hamas, while Turkey's Erdogan blocks Netanyahu from a regional meeting. Israel previously surrounded and nearly destroyed Hamas but withdrew for peace and international pressure; now, hesitant Arab/Muslim nations refuse troops in Gaza, leaving Israel and the IDF to eliminate Hamas for lasting peace.

Also, Democrats are keeping the government shutdown by continuing to block a non-controversial continuing resolution to try and blackmail Republicans to approve $1.5 trillion in additional spending. This will generate massive debt—similar to the phony Inflation Reduction Act—leading to inflation, higher prices for gasoline, food, mortgages, and credit cards, ultimately harming average citizens and future generations. Later, Zohran Mandami must be defeated in New York's upcoming mayoral race. He dodges questions on Hamas support; campaigns with Imam Siraj Wahaj, who served as a character witness for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind and called for jihad.

For the final episode in this series David talks to historian Ayse Zarakol about the prospects for democracy in the age of strongman politics, from Trump to Erdogan, from Orban to Modi. Where did the strongmen come from? How unusual is this kind of politics in the broad sweep of history? Does democracy have the wherewithal to resist its pull? And if not, what happens next?

En este episodio de Calamares en su tinta, exploramos el papel de Turquía como potencia global, su influencia en el conflicto palestino-israelí y el peso histórico del Imperio Otomano en el mundo contemporáneo. Desde la figura visionaria de Mustafá Kemal Atatürk hasta el liderazgo polémico de Recep Tayyip Erdogan, analizamos cómo la historia del Medio Oriente sigue marcada por las huellas del pasado.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey wants to take part in rebuilding Gaza and is ready to join a peacekeeping force once the fighting ends, however analysts warn strained relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv could stand in the way. Turkey responded to a call from Hamas for assistance with locating the bodies of Israeli hostages still unaccounted for in the ruins of Gaza, sending specialists to help in the search. Ankara maintains close ties with Hamas, which some analysts say could make it a useful mediator – although strained relations with Israel could stand in the way of any peacekeeping or reconstruction mission, despite Turkey's experience in these areas. “Turkey does have expertise for this – it has a doctrine,” said Murat Aslan of the SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, a pro-government think tank. “In Afghanistan, Bosnia, some African countries like Somalia or Sudan, and in Kosovo, Turkey contributed either through its Tika aid agency, responsible for reconstruction, or through its armed forces.” Aslan believes Turkey's approach would be similar in Gaza. “Turkey will send soldiers for sure, for the protection of the civilian units,” he said. Hamas says committed to Gaza truce and returning hostage remains High risk However, others warn the mission would not be easy. “Turkey can become part of this protection force, but it will not be easy. At the moment it seems more problematic than many people assume,” said Huseyin Bagci, an international relations professor at Ankara's Middle East Technical University. Bagci fears Gaza could slide into chaos as rival groups fight for control. “There are fights between Hamas and the clans,” he said. “It will not be easy because Hamas has to give up its weapons, which is the primary condition. Hamas is not 100 percent trusting Turkey – if not, Israel will probably act.” Turkey and Egypt's joint naval drill signals shifting Eastern Med alliances Deep mistrust Any Turkish deployment would also require Israel's consent, which appears unlikely given the collapse in relations between the country's leaders. Erdogan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have regularly traded insults since the start of the current conflict in Gaza, and Ankara's vocal support for Hamas has further deepened mistrust. Israeli analysts say the government is hesitant to allow Turkish troops in Gaza, citing deep tensions and mistrust between the two countries. Gallia Lindenstrauss of the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv said there is little enthusiasm for involving a Muslim peacekeeping force, as any casualties could inflame anger across the Muslim world and worsen relations. “This conflict in Gaza has heightened tensions between Turkey and Israel, particularly between the two leaders,” she added. Counting on Washington Any Turkish role in Gaza would likely need US backing to move forward, given Israel's resistance, observers warn. Aslan believes Washington could help bridge the divide. “Erdogan does have a charming power over Hamas,” he said. “So it's on Turkey to urge Hamas to accept some things, and it's on the United States to push Israel to accept the terms of a long-term peace. I believe that Trump is well aware of it, because there is no trust of Israel. That's a fact, not only for Gazans or Palestinians or Turks, but [across the world] overall.” Aslan says trust would be essential to persuading Hamas to disarm. “I believe Hamas will lay down their arms when they feel safe, and they have to see friendly faces in Gaza to be persuaded." Erdogan's Washington visit exposes limits of his rapport with Trump Road to normalisation Turkish involvement in Gaza could also help pave the way for a reset in relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv. Bagci believes Erdogan is hoping for political change in Israel to make that possible. “There will be elections,” he said. “Erdogan [is counting on] Netanyahu losing. But if he wins, then he has to deal with him because both sides have to be pragmatic and realistic.” Bagci said much of the fiery rhetoric from both men is aimed at domestic audiences, with both having reputations as political survivors and pragmatists. If peace efforts gain ground, observers say cooperation in Gaza could offer a path towards rebuilding trust – and serve both countries as they compete for regional influence. (with AFP)
While celebrating the Gaza ceasefire agreement in Egypt, President Trump made a point to single out Turkey's President Erdogan, thanking him for his role in bringing about this deal. Erdogan is now eager to leverage this praise in order to become a key player in shaping Gaza's future. Can he achieve this? Sinan Ciddi, a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Turkish politics, joins Thanos Davelis as we look to answer this question, breaking down Turkey's role in this ceasefire, Erdogan's ambitions in Gaza, and what the Trump administration should be looking out for when dealing with Turkey here.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdogan's Turkey Wants to Be a Key Player in Post-war Gaza.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: The Islamist Strongman: Why Erdogan Cannot Be Trusted in Gaza Peacekeeping Efforts GUEST NAME: Jonathan Schanzer, Foundation for Defense of Democracies 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor and Jonathan Schanzer discuss the highly problematic role of Turkish President Erdogan, who is described as a strongman, autocrat, and dictator hostile to U.S. and Israeli interests. Schanzer expresses concern about the potential for Turkish troops on the ground in Gaza to enforce peace, noting that Turkey previously sponsored Hamas and called for a Muslim coalition to attack Israel. Erdogan provides sanctuary to the Muslim Brotherhood (the "mother ship of Hamas") and is an Islamist to his core. He has supported ISIS and Hamas and helped Iran evade sanctions. While Donald Trump has attempted to co-opt Erdogan to make Turkey a more constructive player, Schanzer is concerned this strategy will fail, believing it runs against Erdogan's fundamental nature. 1879 OTTOMANS
October 13, 2025 is a day for the history books. Twenty living hostages were released by the Iranian-proxy terrorist organization, Hamas, along with the bodies of four of the murdered hostages. President Trump spoke at the Knesset in Jerusalem and then traveled to Egypt to sign a peace plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas. But is the war over? Will Hamas give up its weapons and relinquish its stranglehold over the Gaza Strip? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones discuss these questions and other related topics so that Christians may know how to pray and stay alert as the nations realign and set the stage for the fulfillment of Bible prophecies.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: Turkey's Erdogan : A Sponsor of Regional Turmoil GUEST NAME: Gregory Copley 50-WORD SUMMARY: Gregory Copley discusses President Erdogan's attendance at ceasefire deal signing, noting he is a primary sponsor of regional turmoil and a "neo-Ottomanist" seeking Ottoman revival. Erdogan, who reportedly demanded Netanyahu not appear, is determined to continue conflict so Israel cannot claim victory. The US is providing Turkey F-35s/F-16s, possibly encouraging Turkish expansionism against Greece and Cyprus.
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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. We begin the program by describing the joy and relief experienced by families of released hostages -- and all Israelis -- as they were reunited with their loved ones. However, Hamas handed over the bodies of only four dead hostages, with Israel and the families of the remaining 24 accusing the terror group of breaching its commitments under the ceasefire. The International Committee of the Red Cross said that it will take time before the bodies of all the dead hostages are returned, calling it a “massive challenge” given the difficulties of finding remains amid Gaza’s rubble. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said that it will hold an emergency meeting tonight as anger mounts. Yesterday afternoon, after the 20 living hostages had returned home, US President Donald Trump spoke at the Knesset and declared “the historic dawn of the new Middle East.” Trump said it marked “not only the end of war, but the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God.” Horovitz paints a picture of the atmosphere at the Knesset and delves into noteworthy statements. Following his Knesset speech, Trump met with the leaders of Qatar, Egypt and Turkey and signed a document in Sharm el-Sheikh aimed at enshrining the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas. Today, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he will seek the support of Gulf states, the United States and Europe for the reconstruction of Gaza under the new ceasefire deal, and he believes project financing will be provided swiftly. We discuss the viability of a phase two of Trump's peace plan. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

//The Wire//2300Z October 13, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OTHER HEADS OF STATE ARRIVE IN EGYPT FOR SIGNING OF PEACE AGREEMENT. COUP IN MADAGASCAR RESULTS IN PRESIDENT FLEEING COUNTRY. AFGHAN/PAKISTAN BORDER CLASHES FLARE UP BRIEFLY. NETHERLANDS ENACTS WARTIME POLICY TO CONTROL CHINESE TECH COMPANY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Yesterday evening the Dutch government announced that they have taken more direct control of the Nexperia corporation, which was carried out under a rarely-used wartime law. Nexperia is a Chinese-owned semiconductor chip manufacturer, which mostly provides computer chips for consumer-grade electronics. The Dutch government enacted the Availability of Goods Act, which enables the Netherlands to halt actions by the company that are deemed to be against the national defense interests of the nation.Analyst Comment: This is a big deal as it's yet another indicator of wartime preparations continuing. While most may think that a war with China will just involve the US, and be confined to the Far East, this move highlights the global nature of a potential conflict involving China. This move is not a straight-up seizure of all assets, the company is continuing to produce products as before. This decision is simply to take administrative control of the company, should the board of executives make decisions that are counter to the national security needs of the Netherlands.Western Asia: A brief war erupted and was concluded between Pakistan and Afghanistan over the weekend. Afghan forces conducted multiple small arms attacks on Pakistani border positions. Pakistan responded in kind by shelling random locations inside Afghanistan. After a few hours, Taliban forces withdrew and Pakistani forces stopped shelling.Middle East: President Trump arrived in Egypt for the various diplomatic events pertaining to the Gaza peace deal being signed. Various other heads of state from around the region (and Europe) also gathered for the celebratory peace summit.Analyst Comment: So far only one international incident has been the result of proceedings, with Turkey's Erdogan refusing to take part if Netanyahu was planning to show up as well. Allegedly, a mid-flight phone call was placed by Erdogan's team to pressure Netanyahu to not take part in the event, otherwise Erdogan's plane would turn around and return to Turkey. Netanyahu agreed to this request and has not flown to Egypt to take part in the events. Other than that brief squabble, nothing of note has taken place yet regarding the signing of the peace accord, and the various diplomatic speeches and events have carried on without much conflict.Africa: The government of Madagascar has collapsed as a general state of unrest reached it's peak over the weekend. President Andry Rajoelina was evacuated from the country by French military forces as rioters compromised the security situation around the Presidential residence.Analyst Comment: This is the latest nation to fall to the "Zoomer Uprising", a global trend of youth movements rising up to overthrow their respective third-world governments. One of the first to display this trend was the coup in Nepal a few weeks ago, which was carried out largely by the younger elements of the population. In Madagascar, the situation is very similar, with grievances being centered around electricity and water shortages which have gotten worse over the past few years.-HomeFront-Oregon: Over the weekend counter-ICE protests and demonstrations continued, with a few old tactics being implemented. Namely, nudity. A city-wide naked bike ride and "die in" protest was arranged yesterday, which disrupted traffic for a few hours on major roads, as well as outside the ICE facility.California: Concerns of election fraud have come to light following the receipt of mail-in ballots rega
Bill Roggio, Sinan Ciddi, and Ahmad Sharawi discuss the brewing fight between Erdogan's Turkey, the SDF, and Sharaa's Syria.
Last month Turkey's President Erdogan and his loyalists blasted Cyprus for its purchase of Israeli Barak MX air defense systems, claiming it was a threat to Turkey, all while Turkish media has announced Ankara plans to send more occupation troops to Cyprus. William Doran, the co-author of the recent piece in Kathimerini titled “Erdogan's imagined ‘arms race' in Cyprus”, joins Thanos Davelis as we look at Erdogan's hypocritical outrage here, and break down why Cyprus' decision to upgrade its air defense systems in fact strengthens Eastern Mediterranean security.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdogan's imagined ‘arms race' in CyprusGreece hails ‘historic agreement' over GazaTurkey emerges as key player in Gaza ceasefire dealThird-country buyers grab Cyprus realtyCy
On October 8, 2025, United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, interrupted President Donald Trump's roundtable meeting regarding Antifa in order to hand the President a note which stated there was a very good chance that a peace deal had been struck between Israel and Hamas. Later that same day, President Trump posted on his Truth Social account that Israel and Hamas had agreed on the terms of the first phase of Trump's Peace Plan. Will the Israel-Hamas peace plan hold? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones discuss the details of phase one of the peace plan along with the challenges this plan will face in order for there to be peace in the Middle East.

Two years ago, on October 7th, the Middle East was upended after Hamas' deadly attack against Israel. This had a clear ripple effect across the Eastern Mediterranean as well, impacting Greece and Cyprus. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini's diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis as we look at the monumental shifts ushered in two years ago on October 7, and where they leave Greece and Cyprus today.

PREVIEW: Wild Card: Erdogan's Dangerous Role in Gaza Negotiations Guest: Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer discusses the danger of Erdogan and his representatives joining the Cairo talks on Gaza.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Radical Leftwing Violence President Donald Trump meets with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and addresses the press on multiple issues. The hosts analyze Trump’s remarks, including his blunt assessment of rising left-wing violence and his warning that radical rhetoric from Democrats is fueling domestic terrorism. The discussion shifts to the U.S. economy, highlighting a surprising 3.8% GDP growth in Q2, record-high stock prices, and falling interest rates. Clay and Buck break down how lower mortgage rates could unlock the housing market and why economic growth—not spending cuts—may be the only path to balancing the federal budget. They also touch on Elon Musk’s prediction that AI-driven innovation could help offset ballooning deficits. Phony Comey The conversation zeroes in on James Comey, the former FBI Director, as reports suggest possible criminal charges for lying under oath before the statute of limitations expires. Clay and Buck revisit Comey’s controversial role in targeting General Michael Flynn and his history of aggressive prosecutions, including the Martha Stewart case. They stress the importance of accountability to prevent the U.S. from descending into “banana republic” politics. Autism and Tylenol Dr. Mehmet Oz, now serving as CMS Administrator under President Trump and HHS Secretary RFK Jr., joins the show to discuss groundbreaking developments in autism research, including promising results from leucovorin therapy for children and emerging concerns about acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy. He emphasizes transparency in government health data and warns against overusing medications during pregnancy. The conversation explores the alarming rise in autism rates—now estimated at 1 in 31 children—and potential environmental and lifestyle factors, including allergies, chemical exposure, and older parental age. Dr. Oz underscores the need for urgent research and public awareness, noting that autism prevalence has increased fivefold in 25 years. Nerding Out with Ryan In-depth political analysis with guest Ryan Girdusky, host of It’s a Numbers Game. The discussion kicks off with the New Jersey governor’s race, where New Jersey Republican Jack Ciattarelli is gaining momentum against Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Despite Democrats’ historic voter advantage, recent polls show a tightening race, fueled by Sherrill’s controversies—including a viral debate stumble and a resurfaced Naval Academy cheating scandal from 1994. Girdusky explains how skyrocketing electricity costs, driven by data center energy demands, have become a top voter concern in both New Jersey and Virginia, shaping campaign strategies. The conversation shifts to Virginia’s gubernatorial showdown between Republican Winsome Sears and Democrat Abigail Spanberger. Sears is focusing on cultural issues like transgender participation in women’s sports and locker rooms, while Spanberger avoids clear answers, offering vague responses that Clay and Buck criticize as political double-speak. The hosts argue that Democrats in purple states often run as moderates but govern as progressives, warning voters about the stakes in these off-year elections. Next, attention turns to the New York City mayoral race, where progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani is the overwhelming favorite according to betting markets, despite a crowded field including Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and Curtis Sliwa. Girdusky predicts Mamdani’s win could have national implications for Democrats in the 2026 midterms, as his far-left policies on policing and immigration could become a liability for the party’s brand.
