About this episode
As global criticism of Israel grows — now even drawing rebukes from supposed allies like the US — the question looms: Is Israel turning into a pariah state? Speaking of the US, Trump made waves in Singapore when US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth likened him to Lee Kuan Yew at the Shangri-La Dialogue. And what’s behind China’s dramatic no-show at this year’s event? The geopolitical temperature is rising and fast.
