Mideast Update with Jennifer Loewenstein

July 17, 2025

Israel’s recent strikes in decentralized Syria underscore the widening scope of its military campaign beyond Gaza, according to Jennifer Loewenstein, guest of host Tony Castañeda on the Thursday Buzz.

Loewenstein, a longtime human rights activist and freelance journalist, also discusses the nature of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s relationship with Trump. Meanwhile in Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens, with food aid trickling in though chaotic and dangerous corridors, often delayed or blocked entirely-turning basic survival into a political battleground.
