In this episode of True East, IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman argues that the newly announced Israel-Lebanon framework is far more than a ceasefire and it may represent a historic shift in Israel's entire security doctrine.

President Trump says the war is over. Many Israelis aren't so sure. In this episode, IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman and political analyst Gil Hoffman breaks down the controversial Iran deal, the growing tensions between Washington and Jerusalem, PM Netanyahu's political future and what Israel's next moves could mean for the entire Middle East. If you want to understand the forces shaping Israel, Iran and U.S. policy right now, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

What happens when a wounded enemy isn't defeated but simply waiting for its next opportunity? In this provocative episode of the True East podcast, IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman explores one of history's most dangerous military mistakes: stopping a war too soon. Drawing powerful parallels between ancient Rome's failure to finish Carthage, the aftermath of World War I and the current confrontation with Iran, this episode examines whether today's apparent victories could become tomorrow's disasters. Viewers will learn the historical patterns that shape Israel's strategic thinking, why weakened adversaries can be more dangerous than strong ones and the critical question policymakers face today: has Iran merely been hurt, or has it truly been changed? The answer may determine whether the Middle East is moving toward lasting peace...or simply preparing for the next war.

The biggest shift in U.S.-Israel relations in decades may be happening right now and almost nobody is talking about it. In this eye-opening conversation, IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman and strategic analyst Nitzan David Fuchs break down Section 224, a little-known congressional initiative that could transform Israel from a recipient of American aid into America's most important defense technology partner. You'll learn why Washington suddenly sees Israeli battlefield innovation, AI, cyber capabilities, missile defense and next-generation warfare technologies as critical assets in the global race against China, and why supporters believe this legislation could permanently reshape the future of the alliance. If Section 224 becomes law, it won't just change how the U.S. and Israel work together, it could redefine how modern wars are fought for decades to come.

Israel may be on the verge of permanently reshaping its northern border and Hezbollah’s terrifying new drone warfare is only the beginning of the story.

Did the New York Times just cross a line it can never come back from?

This episode flips everything you thought you knew about modern warfare on its head, revealing that the real power behind today’s conflicts isn’t oil, but the invisible battle over rare earth minerals and the countries racing to control them.
