A geopolitical earthquake is ripping through the Middle East and almost no one in the West sees it coming. From Venezuela’s shocking alignment with Iran to Israel’s game-changing blows against the so-called “Axis of Resistance,” this explosive conversation exposes how dictatorships are wobbling, propaganda is collapsing and long-suppressed minorities are watching Israel rewrite the rules of power in the region. With brutal truths about Syria, Lebanon, Hamas, Iran and Western naïveté, this episode pulls no punches and ends with a provocative question: is Israel not just surviving the chaos, but becoming the Middle East’s last real source of hope?
