The fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s family’s 50-year reign in Syria creates a feeling of uncertainty in the Middle East after al-Assad fled to Russia. Josh Hasten, the Middle East correspondent for the Jewish News Syndicate, joins “NewsNation Live” to discuss how life will change for the Syrian people after the tyrannical reign of the long-time Syrian dictator came to an end with al-Assad fleeing the country.

Addressing his nation on Monday night, US President Joe Biden justified his decision to pull all US military personnel out of Afghanistan following a 20-year presence, which began after the 9/11 attacks on America.
On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses all the wrong moves made by the US Biden Administration in regard to Israel and the Middle East, while world Jewry was busy celebrating Passover. From launching indirect talks with Iran, to once again labeling Israel as an “occupier” in Judea and Samaria, from refunding the Palestinian Authority, to lifting sanctions on the ICC prosecutor, Josh says that on all of these issues, the administration is doing what it can to undo the accomplishments of the Trump administration and ultimately harm Israel’s interests.

While “unholy alliances” have been formed against Israel between extreme leftists and radical Islamists, those threats have been neutralized by the support of 600,000,000 evangelical Christians.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Danny Seaman, Director of the Movement for Governability and Democracy “Meshilult,” to get his take on the announced Israel/UAE peace deal. Seaman says that the agreement represents the “Netanyahu doctrine,” the Prime Minister’s policy of establishing relations with other countries with common goals in mind. In this case, it’s the Arab Sunni world’s desire to find partners willing to take on the Iranian threat. At the same time, Seaman says that the agreement proves wrong those who believe the key to peace in the Middle East is an Israeli concession-based deal with the PA.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Josh Reinstein, founder of the Israel Allies Foundation on his new book “Titus Trump and the Triumph of Israel; The Power of Faith-Based Diplomacy.” In the book Reinstein outlines the Jewish nation’s legal and political rights to the Land of Israel, but says “they pale in comparison to the Biblical rights of the Jewish people to the land.” He discusses how today’s friends of Israel are those supporters in the Judeo-Chrisitian world, who turn to the Bible as their guide to understand what’s really happening in Israel in the Middle East.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Dr. Harold Rhode, former Adviser on Islamic affairs at the Office of the US Secretary of Defense and renowned scholar on the Islamic world. Dr. Rhode discusses the aftermath of the liquidation of Qassem Suleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, who was a terrorist and mass murderer. While Iran is issuing vast threats against the US and Israel as a result of Suleimani’s demise, Rhode said in reality the Iranian leadership is frightened. Rhode is hopeful that one day soon, the Iranian people will be freed from the tyrannical regime in Tehran.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten a very special interview with Mark Lavie, who has been a journalist covering Israel and the Middle East since 1972. Lavie’s new book, “Why Are We Still Afraid” insists that while Israel today has many enemies, the Jewish State faces no existential threats. Lavie says that we should therefore focus on fixing our societal problems instead. Lavie also says that the BDS movement might be noisy, but has done very little harm over the past decade, as Israel continues to expand into many markets around the globe.
