You can find Navid's courageous reporting and insightful analysis on Instagram and head over to YouTube for more from Adnan and Sina on The Adnan Husain Show and The East is a Podcast.

| 5/7/26 | ![]() Ep. 262.5 – The ceasefire that never was (free preview) | This week, Roqayah and Kumars devote the hour to a news roundup and analysis of Roqayah's reporting on the reality on the ground during the latest fake ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has now extended after US-brokered negotiations with Lebanon's comprador government.
