Avraham Burg discusses the implications of the US-Iran ceasefire and the failures of Netanyahu's policies.
On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to former Israeli Acting President Avraham Burg. He discusses why the US’ ceasefire with Iran appears to be a divorce between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as Iran is the clear winner of the war, why Donald Trump needed the war on Iran to end quickly in contrast to Netanyahu’s needs for the war to be prolonged, Israel’s continuing war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, the impact of the Gaza genocide on the future of the Israeli state and politics, the omission of people who share his views in Israel from media coverage, the allegations that Benjamin Netanyahu is using Jeffrey Epstein blackmail material to drag Donald Trump into wars and control his foreign policy, how the US-Israeli war on Iran will accelerate Iran and other states’ pursuit of nuclear weapons and his call for the entire Middle East, including nuclear-armed Israel, to be a nuclear free zone, and much more.
