Caroline Glick on Hezbollah, Iran and Israel’s next regional challenge
Straight Up with host Danny Seaman and guest Caroline Glick

Caroline Glick, International Affairs Advisor to PM Netanyahu, sits down with Former director of the Israeli Government Press Office, Danny Seaman, to reveal how Hezbollah’s new drone warfare tactics, copied from the Russia-Ukraine war, are reshaping the battlefield and threatening Israeli civilians and soldiers alike. You’ll learn why Israel believes Hezbollah has effectively turned Lebanon into an Iranian colony, how underground tunnel networks and civilian infrastructure are once again being weaponized against Israel and why the so-called ceasefire may actually be enabling Hezbollah to regroup. The conversation also unpacks Israel’s broader strategic vision after the war, from defeating Iran’s regional “ring of fire”, to expanding the Abraham Accords and transforming Israel into a central economic and technological hub connecting East and West. If you want to understand the real stakes behind the Lebanon front and Israel’s long-term strategy for survival and regional leadership, this episode is essential viewing.
