In this week’s episode, we unpack the implications of remarks made by Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, whose unapologetic defence of Israeli expansionism reflects the enduring influence of Christian Zionism on American foreign policy. We explore how this radical theological current has shaped political discourse and helped sustain Israel.

The discussion also examines the latest Lancet report suggesting Gaza’s death toll may be significantly higher than previously recorded. Finally, we assess the significance of the newly convened Board of Peace.
