Wed, 10 Mar 2021 22:46:03 -0000

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck visits Jerusalem to get an up-close look at the work of the Temple Mount Sifting Project.

Over 9,000 tons of dirt from the Temple Mount were dumped into Jerusalem Kidron Valley, along with the untold number of ancient Biblical artifacts they contained, dating back some 3,000 years. Now a team of Israeli archaeologists, with help from volunteers from around the world, is sifting through the debris and working to recover what was lost.

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 22:28:02 -0000

On today’s Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down the Biden administration’s announcement that it is seeking to re-join the notoriously anti-Israel UN Human Rights Council.

The Golan Heights: The Strategic Region Israel Can NEVER Give Up | Watchman Newscast

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 23:09:39 -0000

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down the strategic importance of Israel's Golan Heights region. U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was non-committal recently when asked if the Biden administration recognized Israel's legal sovereignty over this crucial, mountainous area along the Israel/Syria border. Yet whoever controls the Golan controls the high ground in any future conflict between Israel and Syria (or any hostile powers, like Iran, operating from within Syria's borders). This makes Israeli control over the Golan an absolute necessity--not to mention the region's ancient heritage as a part of the Land of Israel over 2,000 years ago. Get an up close look at the Golan Heights and why it matters to Israel's last, present and future.

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down what could be the first major foreign policy test of the Biden administration--the deadly rocket attack that struck a U.S base in northern Iraq on Monday, February 15th.

Biden vs. Netanyahu: Israel Braces for Obama's THIRD Term

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 18:12:55 -0000

Host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down President Biden's stunning silence towards the leader of America's closest ally in the Middle East. Biden has now been in office for three weeks and STILL has not spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even though he has spoken to the leaders of other key U.S. allies like Britain, Canada and South Korea. What is behind Biden's radio silence towards Netanyahu--not to mention towards Sunni Arab nations like Egypt and Saudi Arabia that are aligned with Israel against Iran? Is it old-fashioned pettiness, ideology (distance the U.S. from Israel and re-enter the disastrous Iran nuclear deal) or a combination of both? And will the next four years under Biden amount to a third Obama term when it comes to the U.S/ISrael relationship?
