A new Middle East peace plan is rising — not a two-state solution, but a Jordan-Palestinian confederation backed by the U.S., Israel, and soon, possibly Saudi Arabia. Could this be the first draft of the “covenant with many” Daniel prophesied — the agreement that begins the Final Seven Years? Today on The Endtime Show, we break down how this new alliance could reshape Israel's borders, Jerusalem's future, and the prophetic timeline of the last days.   ⭐️: True Gold Republic: Get The Endtime Show special on precious metals at https://www.endtimegold.com 📱: It's never been easier to understand.

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. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As discussions continue about Jared Kushner's concept of 'new Gaza,' residential neighborhoods constructed for Gazans on the Israeli side of the ceasefire line, Magid discusses the lack of support for the plans from some of the Gulf donor countries, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Those countries have concerns that the plan maintains the status quo of Israeli control and leaves Hamas entrenched in Gaza. There are also questions as to which countries are ultimately willing to send troops to guard borders and help deliver aid, and whether those troops will be involved in peacekeeping missions or peace-enforcing missions, says Magid, noting that the US wants the missions to demilitarize Gaza. The US is pushing Israel on the matter of offering safe passage for a couple of hundred Hamas operatives still in Gaza tunnels, either letting them go back to the Hamas side of the yellow ceasefire line, says Magid, or offering them safe passage to another country, while forcing them to give up their weapons. The issue of allowing the press into Gaza now that there is a ceasefire in place is also being pushed by the US. Magid notes that Israel's High Court of Justice gave the government 30 days to update its position. US President Donald Trump is also weighing in, says Magid, who notes that it is more likely to be settled in Israel's High Court. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

From IBM and Microsoft to serving as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has spent over three decades at the forefront of technology and innovation. Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation.  They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life. A very big thanks to Merwas Studios in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for inviting us to shoot in their WORLD CLASS Studios! 00:00 Intro03:18 IBM, Microsoft & Google X05:07 Losing Ali: The Moment Everything Changed09:27 Writing Solve for Happy11:41 Leaving Google & Launching “1 Billion Happy”13:35 Living with Loss17:05 Fate, Life & the Interconnectedness of Everything23:04 Death as the Opposite of Birth26:02 The Video Game of Life31:23 Ali's Death & Mo's Purpose34:53 Redefining Success: Impact over Ego38:54 Learning, Curiosity & Creation44:08 Solitude & Silent Retreats49:01 Meditation Practices55:13 Mindfulness in Daily Life57:06 The Loneliness Epidemic1:01:02 East vs. West: Community vs. Individualism1:05:10 Surveillance, Privacy & the Illusion of Security1:08:11 Raising Children in a Broken World1:11:03 The Collapse of Capitalism & the Rise of AI1:21:16 China vs. The West1:24:06 The Illusion of Stock Markets & Institutional Control1:30:03 War Economics: How Weapons Drive Profit1:35:19 Humanity's Awakening & Questioning the System1:41:08 Reclaiming the Arab Narrative1:47:27 Building Ethical AI1:52:18 Entrepreneurship, Self-Reliance & Believing in the Region2:00:03 Education is Broken2:07:03 Business vs. Capitalism: Purpose Over Profit2:10:00 Reclaiming Global Perception2:17:13 Governance, Fairness & Leadership in the Arab World2:22:06 Living in Uncertain Times2:25:17 The Ultimate Video Game of Life2:26:57 Closing Reflections

With the US racing to develop AGI and superintelligence ahead of China, you might expect the two countries to be negotiating how they'll deploy AI, including in the military, without coming to blows. But according to Helen Toner, director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology in DC, “the US and Chinese governments are barely talking at all.”Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/ht25In her role as a founder, and now leader, of DC's top think tank focused on the geopolitical and military implications of AI, Helen has been closely tracking the US's AI diplomacy since 2019.“Over the last couple of years there have been some direct [US–China] talks on some small number of issues, but they've also often been completely suspended.” China knows the US wants to talk more, so “that becomes a bargaining chip for China to say, ‘We don't want to talk to you. We're not going to do these military-to-military talks about extremely sensitive, important issues, because we're mad.'”Helen isn't sure the groundwork exists for productive dialogue in any case. “At the government level, [there's] very little agreement” on what AGI is, whether it's possible soon, whether it poses major risks. Without shared understanding of the problem, negotiating solutions is very difficult.Another issue is that so far the Chinese Communist Party doesn't seem especially “AGI-pilled.” While a few Chinese companies like DeepSeek are betting on scaling, she sees little evidence Chinese leadership shares Silicon Valley's conviction that AGI will arrive any minute now, and export controls have made it very difficult for them to access compute to match US competitors.When DeepSeek released R1 just three months after OpenAI's o1, observers declared the US–China gap on AI had all but disappeared. But Helen notes OpenAI has since scaled to o3 and o4, with nothing to match on the Chinese side. “We're now at something like a nine-month gap, and that might be longer.”To find a properly AGI-pilled autocracy, we might need to look at nominal US allies. The US has approved massive data centres in the UAE and Saudi Arabia with “hundreds of thousands of next-generation Nvidia chips” — delivering colossal levels of computing power.When OpenAI announced this deal with the UAE, they celebrated that it was “rooted in democratic values,” and would advance “democratic AI rails” and provide “a clear alternative to authoritarian versions of AI.”But the UAE scores 18 out of 100 on Freedom House's democracy index. “This is really not a country that respects rule of law,” Helen observes. Political parties are banned, elections are fake, dissidents are persecuted.If AI access really determines future national power, handing world-class supercomputers to Gulf autocracies seems pretty questionable. The justification is typically that “if we don't sell it, China will” — a transparently false claim, given severe Chinese production constraints. It also raises eyebrows that Gulf countries conduct joint military exercises with China and their rulers have “very tight personal and commercial relationships with Chinese political leaders and business leaders.”In today's episode, host Rob Wiblin and Helen discuss all that and more.This episode was recorded on September 25, 2025.CSET is hiring a frontier AI research fellow! https://80k.info/cset-roleCheck out its careers page for current roles: https://cset.georgetown.edu/careers/Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Helen Toner?

Retired Israeli Ambassador Yoram Ettinger warned in an interview that the United States and Israel are misplacing focus on Gaza and proxy groups while the core danger remains Iran, which he likened to a swamp spawning mosquitoes. “Chasing Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah is like chasing mosquitoes coming out of the Ayatollah's swamp,” Ettinger told interviewer Alan Skorski. The comments come after President Trump's 20-point Middle East peace plan and a joint U.S.-Israel operation inside Iran on June 13 that severely damaged Tehran's capabilities. Despite the setback, Ettinger said Russia, China and North Korea continue to rearm the Islamic Republic, endangering Israel and all U.S. interests in the region, including oil-producing Arab states. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance and top U.S. generals have visited Israel since the June strike, Ettinger noted. A 2026 threat assessment jointly compiled by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and Director of National Intelligence warns that Iran, Russia and China are expanding sleeper-cell terror networks inside the United States, the ambassador said. On Palestinian statehood, Ettinger cited decades of PLO violence — from the 1960s and 1970s in Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon to the 1990s when Yasser Arafat's group backed Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait despite Kuwait hosting hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with full rights. “Every Arab country knows what a Palestinian state would mean,” he said. Saudi Arabia and others publicly tie normalization with Israel to Palestinian statehood, but Ettinger called it “talking the talk, not walking the walk.” President Trump's recent declaration against Israeli annexation of the West Bank is temporary and diplomatic, not a permanent endorsement of a future Palestinian state there, Ettinger said. Granting statehood to the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria runs counter to U.S. interests, he added. Alan Skorski Reports 05NOV2025 - PODCAST

In Episode 64, hosts Hanaa and Lucien kick off by catching up on more travel and some interesting feedback they received. Then Hanaa leads a DEEPDIVE on how Saudi Arabia is building a national skills ecosystem to reshape its economy and elevate its global influence - and leaning on the power of cultural storytelling as it transforms itself. That's a facet of Vision 2030 that isn't headline-grabbing and is a patient build over time, but starting to pay off for the Kingdom.

The hosts then get into some interesting news emerging from the Kingdom, including Saudi Arabia's ambitious infrastructure projects, a coffee-driven IPO boom, and leadership changes.

Is Bible prophecy unfolding right before our eyes? President Donald Trump has hinted that a new Middle East peace deal — one involving Saudi Arabia and Israel — is already in motion. Could this be the agreement the prophet Daniel spoke of, the covenant that marks the beginning of the final seven years before the return of Jesus Christ?

Half a billion dollars of investments, from KiwiSaver and other funds out of New Zealand, are going into Government bonds of countries with poor human rights records. That is according to a new report published by Motu Research this morning. Researchers there used the Human Rights Measurement Initiative, which ranks countries based on economic, civil and political rights residents have and portfolio data from KiwiSaver and other retail funds - to identify how much money New Zealanders were investing in sovereign bonds of so-called 'high alert' countries. These countries include China, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar because of their low scores in safety from the state, civic freedoms and rights to things like education, food, health and housing.

We get into the perils of lesbian dating, Christian camp crushes, ghosting someone for being 6'6”, and the dark art of emotional manipulation (for love).We unpack chaotic first dates, surviving adult timeout at a Gold Coast pub, the lesbian Urge to Merge, and why every queer couple ends up dressing the same.Plus: Taylor Swift conspiracy theories, OF thirst follows, blobbification, and pretending to like Jesus just to get the girl.It's unhinged, confessional and cathartic, perfect for anyone who's ever ghosted out of guilt, fake-read Jordan Peterson for a crush, or been too gay for Saudi Arabia.#datingpodcast #lesbiantiktok #datingadvice

The 19-year-old Canadian saw off Filipina Alexandra Eala and countrywoman Leylah Fernandez en route. Mboko, who started the year ranked 333 in the world, is now at a career high 18. The WTA Finals are well under way in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Defending champion Coco Gauff fell to Jessica Pegula in her opening match in the Stefanie Graf group.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of fascinating advancements and strategic movements that are shaping the landscape of drug development and patient care.Starting with a significant milestone in precision oncology, China has approved its first EGFR-targeted antibody-drug conjugate. This approval marks a pivotal moment in the industry's shift towards targeted therapies, which promise more precise treatment options with potentially fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. Targeted therapies are at the forefront of personalized medicine, where treatments are tailored to individual genetic profiles, offering hope for more effective cancer care.In the realm of HIV prevention, Gilead Sciences has reported impressive sales for its new long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis medication, Yetztugo. Since its launch in June 2025, Yetztugo has generated $54 million in U.S. sales, underscoring the demand for long-term HIV prevention solutions. This development is part of Gilead's broader strategy to strengthen its HIV franchise as it advances its pipeline with promising candidates like GS-3242 alongside lenacapavir. The aim is to develop treatments that require less frequent dosing, which could significantly improve patient adherence and outcomes. Despite challenges within its HIV portfolio and declining Veklury sales, Gilead Sciences is actively seeking growth opportunities through strategic partnerships and pipeline advancements—an essential approach for navigating patent cliffs while sustaining long-term growth.On the financial front, AbbVie has increased its revenue forecast by $400 million to a staggering $60.9 billion, driven by robust sales from its immunology drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq. These treatments address chronic inflammatory conditions like psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, reflecting AbbVie's strong positioning in this therapeutic area despite competitive pressures. AbbVie continues to report strong earnings from Skyrizi and Rinvoq, reinforcing its dominance in the immunology market and highlighting the profitable nature of successful biologics in treating chronic inflammatory diseases.Biogen continues to bolster its multiple sclerosis franchise by focusing on both legacy treatments and new product launches. This strategy highlights the importance of balancing innovation with lifecycle management to maintain market strength against generic competition—a common challenge in the industry.Meanwhile, the American Academy of Pediatrics has taken a cautious stance by not endorsing leucovorin for autism treatment due to insufficient evidence. This decision emphasizes the critical need for rigorous, evidence-based practices in developing clinical guidelines for complex disorders like autism.Internationally, CSL Seqirus has partnered with Saudi Arabia to supply cell-based influenza vaccines and support local production capabilities. This move aligns with global efforts to enhance pandemic preparedness and healthcare resilience through local manufacturing initiatives.The volatile nature of the biotech sector is evident with reports of 16 companies ceasing operations in 2025 due to high R&D costs and regulatory challenges. Despite these closures, such volatility opens doors for new innovations that could address unmet medical needs.Turning our attention to obesity treatment, Eli Lilly stands at a crucial juncture with its novel obesity medication, orforglipron. The company aims to make this weight loss pill accessible while maintaining financial viability for future R&D—a balancing act faced by many pharmaceutical companies as they strive to deliver affordable yet innovative treatments amid growing global health concerns. However, not all R&D efforts reach fruition. Eli Lilly has decided to discontinue its mid-stage program Support the show

In this powerful clip of Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into the global tech and investing landscape—focusing on Nvidia's sudden departure from the Chinese market. Host Rashad kicks off the discussion by raising questions about Nvidia's abrupt shift from having 95% market share in China to zero, following US-China tech tensions. Is this move long-term trouble for Nvidia's stock, or is CEO Jensen Huang playing political chess?Ian Dunlap pulls no punches, comparing the situation to historic moments like the moon landing and drawing parallels to Apple's strategic moves in India. He highlights how companies can't play both sides in a technological war and that sometimes, greed can blind executives to geopolitical realities. Ian predicts Nvidia will work to offset losses by forging partnerships elsewhere—most likely in India or the UAE, where tech investments are surging.Troy Millings zeros in on Nvidia's resilient stock price, pointing out that the market barely budged despite this major announcement.
