Week in Review: Europe Blocks American Sanctions on Iran, Israel-Hamas Truce Rocked, ‘Dangerous New Era,’ and Much More

Show Notes

  • The United States has implemented new sanctions on Iran for its terrorist activity, and Europe is doing all it can to block the measures—a remarkable sign of open hostility between the U.S. and Europe.
  • Ten years ago, Russia invaded the former Soviet state of Georgia, and the Trumpet’s Gerald Flurry said it signaled “the beginning of a dangerous new era.” The decade since has proved that assessment correct.
  • The prospect of a truce between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas was rocked this week with a barrage of rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. Many are wondering why Israel would consider a peace deal with an organization intent on its destruction.
  • We’ll also talk about Germany seeking nuclear weapons, American tech companies kicking commentator Alex Jones off their platforms, and Turkey’s strongman leader being invited on a state visit to Germany despite taking dictatorial powers to himself.
