Regent Wayne Xami Thomas: It is time to tell the world the truth about Israel

WATCH: “The Quad” with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and guest Regent Wayne Chami

“The Quad” is a dynamic weekly panel show hosted by Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israel’s innovation envoy and former deputy mayor of Jerusalem. The series brings together a powerhouse lineup of bold, insightful women to tackle the most pressing stories from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. With Fleur at the helm, “The Quad” features regular co-hosts, including Shoshana Keats-Jaskel, founder of Chochmat Nashim; journalist and human-rights activist Emily Schrader and other leading voices shaping conversation and change.

Through sharp analysis, diverse perspectives and unapologetic commentary, “The Quad” confronts the complex political, cultural and social challenges facing Israel and the Jewish people. Each episode cuts through noise and narrative spin to deliver insight and debate, and to empower female perspectives on issues that define our time. Bold, informed and refreshingly authentic, “The Quad” redefines how Israel and the Middle East are discussed, one conversation at a time.

In this episode, host Fleur Hassan-Nahoum sits down with South African pastor and leader of the Koi people, Regent Wayne Xami Thomas, as he shatters global narratives by drawing from his personal experience under apartheid in South Africa. He reveals what true oppression looks like, calls out hypocrisy on the world stage and affirms the unshakable Jewish connection to the land of Israel.
