Episode Details

An escalation in regional tensions as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis launch attacks on Saudi Arabia, injuring 73 people and prompting vows of a firm response from the Saudi-led coalition. Iran announces a shift to a more aggressive military doctrine, highlighting its upgraded Qassem Basir ballistic missile following naval confrontations with the U.S. Meanwhile, a new book and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett claim Prime Minister Netanyahu received specific warnings about Hamas's planned 'surprise' operation prior to October 7th, though the Prime Minister's Office disputes the account. Also, the UK is considering sanctions on Israeli settlement products, drawing calls from Israeli ministers to expel the British ambassador, and a senior police official criticizes the IDF for lessons not learned from October 7th.
