    Every day that they're not being pounded, a gift to Iran regime: Nat'l Security Advisor John Bolton

    John Bolton, Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., sits down with Ben Yaniv to discuss the US-Iran negotiations, the ceasefire, the future of the Strait of Hormuz, and the limits of Trump's second-term Middle East strategy.Bolton argues that the Iranian regime is not negotiating in good faith and never has, that every day of the ceasefire is a gift to Tehran, and that the only durable path to peace and stability in the region runs through regime change. He lays out what he believes Trump is actually optimizing for, namely gas prices at the pump and the November midterms, and explains why that political pressure is producing what looks like strategic confusion in Washington. On the Strait of Hormuz, Bolton makes the case that the United States should seize control of the waterway, blockade Iranian oil exports while letting Arab oil flow, and break the leverage Tehran is now building. If the situation is allowed to evolve in Iran's direction, he warns, Tehran will treat the Strait like a light switch and the Gulf Arab states will live at its mercy. On Judea and Samaria, Bolton says Gulf states are quietly telling Trump not to recognize Israeli law at this stage, and that the prospect of an expanded Abraham Accords is the reason. On the United Nations, he argues the body is now mostly a damage-control exercise, but that forcing Russia and China to cast public vetoes on Iran-related resolutions still has value in shaping world opinion.

    Mark Levin on Iran, Netanyahu's Trial, and Tucker Carlson

    Mark Levin sits down with Channel 14's Lital Shemesh for a wide-ranging interview on the war with Iran, the future of the Netanyahu government, the Israeli judiciary, and the rise of antisemitism on parts of the American right. Levin argues the Iranian regime must be destroyed, not contained, and lays out a three-part strategy: finish the military job, choke the Strait of Hormuz, and arm the Iranian people in the spirit of the Reagan Doctrine. He warns that if the regime survives, Hezbollah and Hamas survive with it, and the weakest elements of Israeli politics could ride that failure into power. On Prime Minister Netanyahu's trial, Levin, a lawyer who sat through three and a half hours of proceedings in Tel Aviv with his wife, calls Israel's court system a laughingstock in the United States, points to former Chief Justice Aharon Barak as the architect of the damage, and says President Herzog should pardon the Prime Minister.On Tucker Carlson's appearance on Israeli Channel 13, Levin is blunt. Carlson is not a conservative, not a Republican, and has been excommunicated from the American political mainstream. Platforming him in Israel, he says, was a mistake.

    Jasem Aljuraid | How political Islam infiltrated Kuwait; but why it's next up for Abraham Accords

    Jasem Aljuraid is a Kuwaiti political refugee now living in Canada. A former senior columnist at Al-Qabas, Aljuraid was forced to flee after advocating for peace with Israel and running for parliament on an anti-radical Islam platform. His enemies accused him of being a Mossad agent. In this conversation with Libby Alon, Jasem dismantles the conventional narrative: Kuwait doesn't see Israel as an enemy, he explains - it sees Israel as an occupier. The real colonizers, he argues, are the Arabs - who spread across 54 countries spanning North Africa, the Levant, and beyond. "Who is the colonizer?" he asks.Jasem traces how Muslim Brotherhood ideology and Saudi Wahhabism infiltrated Kuwait's once-secular society starting in the late 1970s, riding the wave of Khomeini's expansionism. He describes how Kuwait has actually faced more Iranian attacks than Israel - over 200 more - and why Iran's assault during Ramadan, a month forbidden for fighting in Islamic law, exposes the theological bankruptcy of the IRGC's ideology.On the future of the region, Jasem is direct: Kuwait is the easiest candidate to join the Abraham Accords. He points to Kuwait's new constitution project as signs of a country quietly repositioning itself. Saudi Arabia, by contrast, raises harder questions - wavering between pragmatism and ideological preservation, backing the Brotherhood in Yemen and Al-Qaeda-aligned factions in Syria.The episode closes on a personal note: Jasem's mother raised him in a home with no hate for Israel. His recent DNA test revealed Yemenite Jewish ancestry. He still can't go home, but he's helping Kuwait change from a distance, and he believes his moment is coming.
