No wedge between Trump and Netanyahu

WATCH: “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman and guest Tal Ornan

Surprise! The Israeli (and American) media once again are spinning a false narrative in their desire to turn fantasy into reality.

In this episode of “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman, the former senior Israeli government official breaks down the latest headlines claiming a rift between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Jewish state, and explains what’s going on behind the scenes.

Joined by special guest Tal Ornan, a veteran of the Israel Defense Forces and commentator from the Israeli civic movement “Nikrahim LeDegel,” the two tackle the growing misinformation campaigns in national and international media. They explore the motives behind the narrative that Trump may soon recognize a Palestinian state and why those claims are being pushed now, despite being repeatedly disproven in the past.

This episode covers:

  • The release of Israeli-American hostage Idan Alexander

  • U.S.-Qatar relations and rumors surrounding “Air Force One 2.0”

  • Israel’s war aims in Gaza and the limits of American influence

  • Strategic threats from Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and Iran

  • A revealing conversation about Jewish DNA, historical roots in Judea, and Israel’s legal standing under international law
