In today's episode, we have an extraordinary guest—Danny Ayalon, former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. We're unpacking the high-stakes geopolitical chessboard involving Iran, Israel, and the U.S., especially in light of potential diplomatic shifts and military risks. Together, we'll explore the risks and rewards of a possible deal with Iran, the complex dynamics between Trump and Netanyahu, and the possibility of a historic peace treaty between Saudi Arabia and Israel. We'll also touch on the critical role of U.S. support in shaping global stability and the spiritual imperative of praying for our leaders. Plus, Danny shares his incisive views on what to expect from the Trump administration in its next term regarding Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. Join us as we navigate these intricate issues and seek wisdom and insight for the days ahead.
