Episode Details

This episode: The UN nuclear watchdog has reported Iran to the Security Council for breaching non-proliferation obligations, marking a significant diplomatic escalation amid concerns over Tehran's nuclear program, including increased construction at its Pickaxe Mountain site. We also cover Britain's new ban on imports from Israeli settlements and its potential economic impact on Palestinian workers, along with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's denial of plans to expel Gazans. Plus, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken denies a report on hostage deal talks, and former President Donald Trump predicts the war with Iran will conclude after the US midterm elections. Finally, we look at Israeli domestic politics, including a former IDF general's policy priorities and an assessment of the economic effects of settlement sanctions.
