"Over 950 people have been executed in Iran this year" @KhosroIsfahani tells me on @i24NEWS_EN #Iran
Six months on from Epic Fury, I told @davidmatlin on @i24NEWS_EN: it's time to end the war the Islamic Republic has waged on the world since 1979.
That war ends one way: The total dismantling of the regime in Tehran!

Can Benjamin Netanyahu turn a better-than-expected election performance into a governing majority? With neither bloc reaching the 61 seats needed in Israel’s 120-member Knesset, coalition negotiations could prove decisive for the country’s next government.

"A few thousand votes can shape the entire outcome of this election." Israeli Affairs Expert @davidmatlin says Israel’s political cliffhanger is far from over, with the final batch of votes, including soldiers’ ballots, potentially shifting the balance between Netanyahu’s bloc and his rivals.

You were so vocal about the alleged Israeli persecution of "journalists" in Gaza. No response to this report?

"He was trying to take a whole plane of Israelis down with him," says Israeli Affairs Expert, Former IDF Soldier @davidmatlin on the Flydubai cockpit incident, arguing that the reported actions of the co-pilot point to something far more serious than a confrontation between two crew members.

This should be pushed far and wide. Watched in every college class in the U.S. Thank you @billmaher The moral confusion is gross. "It is not a genocide, it is a counterattack in a war...Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie (as I have argued from first hand observations in Gaza). The fact that so many democrats go along with it is to me the party's worse moment since they undid reconstruction after the civil war...words have meaning...genocide, kill or try to kill an entire people, you can't just change the definition of genocide to mean counterattack in a war where people including civilians die, that's every war..."

Spoke with David Matlin on i24News about the new Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan pact. My take: until we actually see the text of this document, in any language, we shouldn't read too much into a single presidential tweet. What we have right now are press reports, and I think much of what we're seeing is psychological warfare being waged in the Middle East by supporters of Iran, and particularly Pakistan and Turkey. As for whether this signals any softening on Israeli-Saudi normalization, I'd be very hesitant to attribute that interpretation to the president's remarks. Just days ago, President Trump went on record saying that Saudi Arabia should join the Abraham Accords as a condition for American support of the Saudi security structure, a very strong statement. If anything, what we're seeing now may be some kind of pushback from the Saudis themselves. I think the president knows exactly what he's doing here. And having just returned from a trip to the UAE and Dubai, I can say the situation on the ground is quite a bit more nuanced than what's being portrayed in the coverage so far.
