Iran’s Proxy War Collapse | Why Israel is Stronger Than Ever
Episode description
Why did Hamas attack Israel on October 7, and how did it backfire spectacularly - particularly for ‘puppet master’ Iran? Hamas launched its brutal invasion expecting to shatter Israel’s strength—but instead, it triggered a seismic shift in the region, unraveling Iran’s proxy strategy and redefining the balance of power in the Middle East.
In this episode of Israel: State of a Nation, Eylon Levy sits down with Saul Sadka, a sharp political analyst known for his no-nonsense breakdowns of the war. Together, they expose the ripple effects of Hamas' catastrophic miscalculation and what it means for Israel and the world.
🔹 How Hamas’ attack destroyed Iran’s "ring of fire" strategy
🔹 Why the media war is just as crucial as the military one
🔹 The role of Western appeasement in empowering Iran’s proxies
🔹 Israel’s new strategic position—and the path to lasting victory
