The Middle East is being redrawn in real time. The question now is not whether Israel has power, but what it will do with it.
In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Sharren Haskel, Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister, about how October 7 and the war that followed transformed Israel from a country under siege into a state projecting force across the region. They discuss how Israel has emerged as a new regional power, why much of the West still struggles to understand the threat from Iran, and what a stronger Israel means for the future of the Middle East, the democratic world, and the fight against Islamist extremism.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why mass Muslim immigration from antisemitic countries is dictating European foreign policy
- How Israel and the United States are doing the world’s “dirty work” by confronting the Iranian regime
- Why Western leaders keep trying to freeze conflicts instead of solving them
- How the fall of Iran’s regional axis could reshape Israel’s ties with Arab states
This conversation goes beyond battlefield updates to a deeper question: what kind of power Israel is becoming. If Israel emerges from this war stronger, more feared, and more central to regional security, then the real challenge will be how that power is used, how it is judged, and whether the West is capable of understanding the stakes before it is too late.
🎯 Key moment:
“October 7 will go down as one of the greatest strategic blunders in modern warfare, because instead of wiping Israel off the map, it has entrenched Israel more firmly on the map than ever before.”
