🌍 Here’s what we’re covering on today’s show:
1️⃣ Xi’s WWII Military Parade & Global Power Posturing
Chinese President Xi Jinping is hosting a massive 80th Anniversary Parade marking the end of WWII—with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un in attendance. This follows a major meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, including India’s PM Modi.
👉 What’s the deeper meaning behind this show of force and unity?
2️⃣ Europe’s Shift: Recognizing Palestinian Statehood
The UK, France, and Belgium are signaling plans to officially recognize Palestine during next week’s UN General Assembly.
👉 Why are these key nations making this move now, and what could it mean for Middle East diplomacy?
3️⃣ Crisis in Gaza: IDF Chief vs. Netanyahu
Israel’s top general is urging a 60-day ceasefire, citing troop exhaustion and rising hostage risks. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu insists on continuing the war, and Donald Trump is weighing in with calls to “finish it quickly.”
👉 Where is this headed, and what are the implications for peace—or further conflict?
📻 Tune in for a compelling conversation with real-world perspective from someone who’s been in the room where diplomacy happens.
