Ceasefire Extension: Is Israel Being Pushed Aside?

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of a potential U.S.-Iran deal on Israel's position and the surrounding geopolitical tensions.

The Quad panel dives right into the growing fear that a new U.S.-Iran deal could leave Israel isolated while allowing the Islamic Republic to survive and regroup. You’ll learn why some believe President Trump might be bluffing while others fear he’s changing course entirely and why Israelis are increasingly worried about Hezbollah attacks and being sidelined from critical negotiations. The episode then goes into a debate over Ben-Gvir’s flotilla stunt, the rise of anti-Semitism in the West, media propaganda and the growing culture war surrounding Israel and Zionism worldwide.
