Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 128: Israel’s Election Chaos, Trump’s Russia Waiver & Asim Munir

Ghost is back after a month away with a Halloween episode, the day after Israel's election left everyone claiming victory. First, Ghost walks through the new Russia and Iran sanctions act and the waiver power that lets Trump lift sanctions and tariffs on his own. Then the Israeli results: Netanyahu's bloc, the Bennett, Lapid and Gadi Eisenkot alliance, Avigdor Lieberman, the ultra-Orthodox draft fight, and why the Arab party Ra'am and Mansour Abbas could decide the next coalition. Ghost also digs into Netanyahu's history with the Ynet news site and reports that Trump wants Ben-Gvir kept out of the next government. Later, the focus turns to Pakistan's field marshal Asim Munir, the India and Pakistan conflict, Iran's new security chief and his reported line to JD Vance, and Qatar's role behind the scenes.
