Friday Focus: Israel on the offensive and Kamala Harris’s foreign policy
Friday Focus: Israel on the offensive and Kamala Harris’s foreign policy
On this week’s Friday Focus, Rudyard and Janice start off the show with news out of the Middle East, specifically Israel’s incursion into the West Bank to thwart planned terror attacks. How will its aggressive approach to external threats further harm its relationship with Western allies? Next, Rudyard and Janice discuss what Kamala Harris’s foreign policy agenda will look like if she were to win November’s election. Without a lot of experience abroad, they are predicting something close to Obama and Biden’s doctrine: American power blended with prudence. In the back half of the show, Rudyard and Janice anticipate the Liberal Party’s next steps as Parliament is set to resume. Will a drop in inflation and a likely interest rate cut improve their low polling numbers?
