EylON the Record
After October 7, Eylon Levy became one of Israel’s most visible defenders, making the official case for a nation at war.
Now the war is over.
The blue-suit uniform is off.
And the talking points are gone.
No briefings.
No scripts.
No permission required.
EylON the Record is where the conversation begins.
This podcast features hard-hitting, long-form, unscripted conversations with the people whose ideas, experience, and judgment actually matter — not only for Israel, but for the future of democracy and freedom.
Join Eylon beyond headlines, soundbites, and spin, diving into:
• War and national security
• Media, power, and propaganda
• Democracies under pressure
• What comes next and what the West gets wrong
Originally launched as State of a Nation, this podcast reached millions of viewers around the world.
Now it returns in a sharper, more personal format with the freedom to ask harder questions, challenge comfortable assumptions, and follow the truth in a world where powerful forces are constantly competing to shape how we think.

Qatar's Double Game | Barak Herscowitz on Netanyahu’s Political Strategy
Barak Herscowitz, former head of communications for the Israeli government and the whistleblower who exposed TikTok’s anti-Israel bias, joins Eylon Levy to dissect the spin dominating the international conversation around Israel, Hamas, and the Gaza war.
🔹 Why Israel changed its tone on Qatar—and why it might be too little, too late
🔹 The internal political time bomb over Haredi draft exemptions
🔹 Why the West can’t say “thank you” to Israel—even when it defeats Iran’s proxies
🔹 Who’s really in control of humanitarian aid in Gaza? (Hint: it’s not the UN)
🔹 The PR strategy behind hostage negotiations—and how silence helps Hamas
We expose the media manipulation, challenge the narratives, and lay bare the political calculus at play in Jerusalem and beyond.
