"This Is A CLOWN!" Netanyahu 'Ignored' Hamas Warning + UK Sanctions Israeli Settlers
Piers Morgan UncensoredShow Notes
The UK has sanctioned Israeli settlers accused of violence against Palestinians, triggering a fierce backlash from some of Israel’s strongest supporters, including US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee has accused the British government of “Jew hate” while acknowledging that Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is Jewish. Britain’s Chief Rabbi has also described the sanctions as a “dark day for British Jews.”
The controversy has reignited debate over the distinction between criticism of the Israeli government and antisemitism, with critics warning against conflating the actions of the Israeli state with Jewish people worldwide.
The UK government has condemned what it describes as violence and “ethnic cleansing” by extremist settlers, while Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are considered illegal under international law.
With settlement expansion continuing under Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the sanctions have intensified questions over Britain’s response to settler violence - and whether opposition to Israeli government policy is being unfairly portrayed as hostility towards Jews.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point of either presidency, with barely 31 per cent of Americans believing he is doing a good job. With the US midterm elections just 13 days away, the president is facing mounting political pressure as wars in Ukraine and Iran threaten to define his administration.

But his diplomatic mission has raised eyebrows after Witkoff publicly praised Putin as a humanitarian, while Trump has once again placed the burden of ending the Ukraine war on Zelensky rather than the Russian leader who launched it. Meanwhile, Trump is blaming Ukraine for the cost of American support, as voters grow increasingly frustrated with high fuel prices and continued conflict. Yet the pressure on energy prices is also tied to the war involving Iran, where renewed US attacks on Tehran could follow the midterm elections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised Trump’s leadership and declared that the two countries have a job to finish, fuelling concerns that the conflict could soon escalate again. As Trump attempts to contain the political fallout from two major wars, a fragile end to the fighting in Ukraine may be approaching. But the conflict with Iran could be entering a far more dangerous phase. Piers Morgan is joined by Alastair Campbell plus Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute; Jim Hanson, chief strategist at the Middle East Forum; and Will Chamberlain, host of Counterweight. Plus, General Keith Kellogg, former US special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, joins the show to discuss the prospects for peace in Ukraine and the growing threat of renewed conflict with Iran.
The relationship between Washington and Kyiv is entering increasingly uncertain territory, as Donald Trump’s approach to Russia raises fresh questions about the future of the war in Ukraine. In an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan last week, President Zelensky offered a stark assessment of America’s shifting position, warning that his country risks losing the support of its most important ally.
The Western world is facing a period of unprecedented upheaval, as old alliances fracture, political divisions deepen and conflict continues to reshape the global order. From President Donald Trump’s shifting approach to Russia and Ukraine to growing unrest in France, the familiar rules of international politics appear to be breaking down.
