Thomas Small - Israel/Gaza ceasefire, hostages and Trump

In partnership with Ground News

Thomas Small is an author, filmmaker, podcaster and Co-host of ‘Conflicted’, a podcast about history, religion and politics. He came on the show earlier in the year to breakdown what was happening in Syria and the downfall of the Assad regime.

Tomorrow, he is returning to the show to provide a crash course on what has just happened between Israel and Gaza, the ceasefire, the returning of the hostages, Trump’s involvement and his thoughts on what will happen next.

Comment your questions for Francis and Konstantin to ask Thomas at the end of the interview.

Let’s use Ground News to analyse how this story was covered:

When President Trump welcomed Vladimir Putin with a red-carpet greeting at the Alaska summit, coverage split sharply.

The left framed it as a betrayal, emphasising outrage from Ukrainians who see the gesture as undercutting their struggle against Russia’s invasion. The right cast it as smart diplomacy, suggesting that while the war drags on, Trump could be the one to bring real change.

That kind of polarised coverage is exactly why Ground News exists. With over 100 sources reporting this story, it’s the most practical way to expose spin and get to the truth.

Ground News cuts through the noise, showing how stories are framed across the spectrum and revealing the financial interests behind the headlines. It’s like giving your brain night vision goggles.
