Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud has emerged on top in Israel's election, but the battle to determine who actually governs the country is far from over!
Israel votes tomorrow, but the biggest surprise could be that neither PM Netanyahu nor his opponents can form a government...and the country could be heading straight back to the polls.
Iran's regime is fighting for survival, but the greatest threat to the ayatollahs may not be coming from Israel or America. It's coming from inside Iran itself.
Saudi Arabia tried to avoid war with Iran's Houthi proxies, now its airports are under deadly missile attack, and the kingdom may be paying the price for a catastrophic miscalculation.
Arab states that once kept Israel at arm’s length are now reportedly gathering behind closed doors to ask for its help. Meira K traces the secret relationship between Israel and the UAE from decades of quiet cooperation to the Abraham Accords and today’s increasingly open security partnership, driven largely by their shared concerns about Iran. She then examines reports of Netanyahu’s extraordinary six-hour meeting in Abu Dhabi, where officials from across the region may have gathered to discuss Iran, the Houthis and Israeli air-defense assistance. Three years after October 7, the episode argues that one of the war’s most unexpected consequences may now be emerging: Arab countries that once viewed Israel as the problem increasingly see it as the country they need on their side.
The weapon transforming modern warfare can cost just a few hundred dollars and even the world’s most advanced militaries are struggling to stop it.
A new war is exploding in the Middle East, and this time Saudi Arabia is turning to Israel for help. Meira K breaks down how Iran is using the Houthis to attack Saudi Arabia, threaten the Bab al-Mandab shipping chokepoint and put enormous pressure on the kingdom without fighting it directly. Viewers will learn how the centuries-old Sunni-Shia rivalry is fueling today’s confrontation and why Saudi Arabia’s new defense partnerships have failed to stop the threat. Most surprisingly, the crisis is now pushing Saudi Arabia toward behind-the-scenes cooperation with Israel...potentially reshaping alliances across the Middle East.
Israel’s October 27 election could reshape the entire Middle East....and Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are all watching.
America may have found a way to break Iran’s regime without firing another shot. After months of devastating military strikes failed to topple Tehran, the Trump administration is pivoting to what the episode describes as a far more dangerous strategy for the regime: systematically choking off the money that keeps the IRGC and government functioning. In this episode, viewers will learn why Iran’s own economic warfare may have inspired Washington’s new approach and why the real target isn’t China, despite much of the media focus. But there’s one major catch: the strategy only works if Washington is willing to follow through when the pressure, and the potential consequences, get much bigger.
Despite the headlines, a very different story may be unfolding behind closed doors. As public criticism of Israel continues, more countries are quietly strengthening defense, intelligence, and strategic ties with Jerusalem—raising questions about what's really driving the shifting alliances in the Middle East.
