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
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
