The latest episode of Newsmax’s “Israel Now" examines the growing battle over Israel on American college campuses, new congressional efforts to combat anti-Israel boycotts and the broader security challenges facing the Jewish state.
At the center of the program is legislation approved by the House that would seek to block federal funding for universities that participate in boycotts of Israel.
Rep. Mike Collins discusses the measure and what comes next as it moves through Congress, while addressing concerns over campus antisemitism, the influence of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and changing attitudes toward Israel among younger Americans.
The debate comes amid heightened tensions at universities across the United States, where protests, pro-Palestinian activism and allegations of antisemitism have intensified arguments over how colleges should respond to political campaigns targeting Israel.
Newsmax host John Bachman also joins the program to share observations from his latest visit to Israel and his impressions of the country at a time of continuing war and regional uncertainty.
David Brog focuses on the resilience of Israeli society, discussing how Israelis have responded to prolonged conflict, security threats and the pressures created by the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks.
The episode also features Dan Diker, who offers analysis of Hamas, the wider regional security picture and the strategic choices Israel faces as it weighs its next steps.
“Israel Now" provides continuing coverage and analysis of developments in Israel, the United States and across the Middle East.
