This special edition of Jerusalem Dateline looks ahead to 2026, examining the political, security, and spiritual forces shaping Israel, the United States, and the Middle East. The program opens with a major update on widespread protests in Iran, driven by economic collapse, rising prices, and public outrage against the regime, as regional tensions continue to rise.

Chris Mitchell, Senior Editor John Waage, and Middle East Correspondent Julie Stahl analyze what the year ahead may hold, focusing on the impact of U.S. midterm elections and Israel’s upcoming Knesset vote. They discuss how political outcomes in both countries could influence Middle East policy, Israel’s leadership, and global stability.

The panel addresses ongoing security challenges, including Gaza’s uncertain future, fragile ceasefires, the threat from Hezbollah, and concerns over Syria’s direction and Turkey’s role in the region. They warn that unresolved conflicts and radicalization could shape events throughout 2026.

Aliyah is a key focus, with discussion on rising global antisemitism and how it may influence Jewish immigration to Israel. Julie Stahl shares insights into why many Jews are considering making Israel their permanent home, often driven by identity, safety, and long-term pressure in the diaspora.

The episode also explores the role of the Church, humanitarian efforts inside Israel, and the power of prayer in a time of global uncertainty. The program concludes with focused prayer for wisdom for world leaders, protection for Israel, healing for those affected by war, and God’s guidance for the year ahead.
