Saudi Arabia is pushing back against US and Israeli pressure, challenging Washington’s efforts to reshape the Middle East. From Gaza to Lebanon to the Red Sea, regional resistance is rising.

Joining host Mnar Adley is Sharmine Narwani, journalist and political analyst and editor of The Cradle. Narwani breaks down Saudi Arabia’s motivations, Israel’s escalating campaigns across the region, and Yemen’s unprecedented role in confronting Israeli expansion.

We also examine Israel’s mounting civilian toll in Gaza and Lebanon, the use of banned cluster munitions, and the economic crisis Israel faces as war debts mount.

Don’t miss this wide-angle look at shifting regional power, resistance dynamics, and why Saudi Arabia is no longer marching to Washington’s drum.
