Iran Threat, Turkey in Syria & Hasan Piker Backlash | Israel Now (Aug. 29, 2026)
Israel faces challenges on multiple fronts — from Iran and Turkey’s growing military footprint in Syria to the battle over Israel, antisemitism and the Jewish community inside American politics.On this edition of NEWSMAX’s “Israel Now,” retired IDF Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi, founder and chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, examines Israel’s security outlook and the continuing Iranian threat.
Israeli government spokesman Doron Spielman explains Turkey’s expanding military presence inside Syria and why the attempted deployment of Turkish forces at the Abu al-Duhur air base triggered an Israeli response.
Then, veteran journalist and author Berl Falbaum discusses The Media’s Defamation of Israel: A Critique of the Israel-Hamas War News Coverage, including questions surrounding Gaza casualty reporting and accusations of genocide and apartheid against Israel.
Plus, the show examines the political firestorm surrounding streamer Hasan Piker’s remarks about American Jews and Israel, the reaction from Democrats, and the growing debate over antisemitism and the Jewish vote in U.S. politics.
And finally, take a lighter look inside Israel’s distinctive coffee culture.
