Trump’s Israel Peace Plan with Lahav Harkov

In the wake of this week's General Election, Aaron and Mike unpack the implications of Zoran Mamdani, an openly socialist and anti-Israel candidate, winning the mayoral race in New York City. The result points to something deeper than mere partisan politics:

• With 75 percent of voters under 30 backing Mamdani, Christians and conservatives need to understand the cultural and worldview battles shaping the next generation.

• Mamdani's election has to serve as a wake-up call that now is the time for Christians to reengage in the fight for truth in schools, churches, and society.

After the discussion, Lahav Harkov, senior political correspondent for Jewish Insider, joins Aaron and David to share her first-hand account from Israel of the impact of President Trump’s peace deal. She also offers insider perspectives on: 

• The future of Gaza,
• The status of Iran’s nuclear program,
• Prime Minister Netanyahu’s political future, and
• Charlie Kirk’s advice for keeping US support of Israel strong.

Lahav’s insights are timely reminders of Israel’s unique challenges—and how worldview defines both American and global politics.
