Ceasefire talks resume in Egypt amid conflict across the Middle East. This as Israel begins retaliatory strikes against Iran following a missile barrage targeting Israelis. Josh Hasten, Middle East Correspondent for JNS furthers the conversation.
Josh Hasten, JNS’s Middle East Correspondent, joins the Sky News Breakfast Show in Australia to discuss the latest news in Israel.
US President-elect Donald Trump says that his goal is to end wars, and not start them. However, as opposed to the Biden Administration which has pressured Israel for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, President Trump says his “end” to the war would mean a 100% Israeli victory. Prime Minister Netanyahu has already spoken to President Trump several times this week, and says that they are on the same page when it comes to the Iranian threat. Reports indicate Trump is prepared to reassert pressure on Iran – the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism. The times are certainly changing. This story, and all the latest news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.

Josh Hasten, Middle East Correspondent for JNS, joins the Sunday Agenda on Newsmax to discuss the latest news from Israel on October 27, 2024.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten – the Jerusalem Post quotes a report indicating that the Hezbollah terrorist organization is beginning to crack with many of its members fleeing their posts. Some of the terror group’s fighters have even fled to Syria with their families rather than stay and fight against Israel. The report indicates that Israel’s recent pager/walkie talkie detonation attack injured thousands causing chaos in Hezbollah’s ranks. Israel’s ground offensive in southern Lebanon has also caused them to cut and run.
As the group continues to fire rockets at Israel on a nearly hourly basis, the report provides optimism that in a matter of time, the Iranian proxy will fall.
Four Israeli soldiers were killed last night in a Hezbollah drone strike targeting a packed dining room of a Binyamina army base. Over 60 others were wounded, some seriously. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten asks, is there a connection between the attack and reports that the Biden Administration pressured Israel to refrain from attacking Beirut over the past several days. Despite the bad news, Israel continues to make progress in taking out Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and Hamas terrorists in Gaza, along with terrorist infrastructure.
