Veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier reveals how Western powers are sustaining the Israel-Gaza conflict and what it signals for the future of the Middle East, Iran, and U.S. foreign policy.

Introduction

In this explosive episode, veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier dissects the geopolitical web entangling the Israel-Gaza conflict, the role of Western powers, and the growing axis of resistance across the Middle East. With over 35 years of frontline reporting, Magnier delivers rare clarity on a war that is as much about land and politics as it is about global influence.

Israel’s Failing Military Objectives

According to Magnier, despite massive military backing from the U.S., UK, and Germany, Israel has failed to achieve its core goals: eliminating Palestinian resistance, freeing captives, and securing a buffer zone in Lebanon. He describes Gaza as a modern-day “open-air concentration camp,” where daily Israeli bombardments have not broken the will of the resistance.

“We don’t see Israel as the strongest army in the Middle East anymore.”

Western Military Support: A Double-Edged Sword

Magnier points out that over 4,800 units of Western intelligence and weapons were supplied to Israel in under a year. Despite this, Israeli forces struggled against non-state actors like Hamas and Hezbollah. This paradox has weakened Israel’s image of invincibility and exposed the strategic limits of Western military aid.

Iran’s Strategic Retaliation

Magnier dives into Iran’s retaliatory missile attack in April, calling it a game-changer. Unlike previous responses, Iran used hypersonic and ballistic missiles to demonstrate its full military capability — an unmistakable message to Israel and the West.

“This is the first time in modern history that a state like Iran launched 200 ballistic missiles in under 10 minutes.”

The U.S. Elections and Netanyahu’s Calculations

The 2024 U.S. elections play a pivotal role. Magnier believes Netanyahu is hedging on a Trump victory, hoping the former president will support a Greater Israel policy. Democrats favor a two-state solution but fail to act decisively.

“Trump said Israel is too small. ‘Larger’ means Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon.”

Can the U.S. Sustain Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East?

With over $178 billion spent on Ukraine and billions more in the Middle East, Magnier questions if the U.S. can afford both. He argues that these wars are about preserving U.S. dominance — NATO in Europe and Israeli supremacy in the Middle East — rather than achieving peace.

Europe’s Economic Self-Sabotage

Magnier doesn’t spare Germany and the EU, calling them “occupied states” due to U.S. military presence and foreign policy control. He slams European leaders for destroying their own economies in blind support of American strategies — from sabotaging Nord Stream pipelines to fueling endless wars.

China: The Silent Beneficiary

China, Magnier says, is the quiet observer reaping the benefits of U.S. distraction. While America exhausts itself in Ukraine and Gaza, China builds military strength, tests its tech capabilities, and watches NATO’s weaknesses unfold.

Conclusion: A Global Realignment in Progress

Elijah Magnier paints a clear picture: the wars in Gaza and Ukraine are not isolated events — they are frontlines in a global realignment. The U.S., Europe, Israel, Iran, Russia, and China are all maneuvering for future influence, and the battlefields of today will shape the geopolitics of tomorrow.
