In the first hour, international relations and security analyst Mark Sleboda spoke with Fault Lines about the Russian offensive at Avdeevka and how the West's support for Ukraine might have taken a back seat as the US and allies focus on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
In the second hour, civil rights attorney Robert Patillo joined Fault Lines to discuss how the Biden administration is treading a thin line between supporting the Israel-Gaza war while campaigning for the 2024 re-election. US President Joe Biden asked Congress last week to approve a $106 billion security package that couples $61.4 billion in additional assistance for Ukraine with another $14.3 billion in aid for Israel.
In the third hour, Fault Lines spoke to human rights, labor rights lawyer and peace activist Dan Kovalik as he recounts how he was assaulted by US Senator John Fetterman’s security guards while asking the Senator why he failed to support a ceasefire for Gaza.
In the last hour, professor of English literature and orientalism at the University of Tehran Mohammad Marandi spoke to Fault Lines about Iran’s possible involvement in the Israel-Gaza war as Iran’s Foreign Minister said his country doesn’t want the war to escalate.
