About this episode
The episode discusses the rift between Trump's MAGA supporters and young America Firsters regarding the US-Israel war against Iran.
Arab Digest editor William Law's guest this week is the conservative analyst Jon Hoffman. Amidst conflicting reports that Trump's base is or is not fracturing over the US-Israel war against Iran Jon Hoffman argues that the longer the conflict continues the greater the rift will grow between Trump's hardcore MAGA supporters who back his war and young disillusioned American Firsters who see continued support for Israel as a betrayal of his promises to them.
