The Claire Byrne Show · Clashes have continued in southern Lebanon · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

Good morning, Clare.

It's a bizarre situation, isn't it, where you've Donald Trump saying, well, both sides have agreed to step back while they continue to fight.

Tehran this morning saying on Iranian state television that the Iranians could suspend the US talks over these continuing strikes on Lebanon.

So it's not just a case of let Benjamin Netanyahu get on with what he is doing in Lebanon.

This affects the entire peace, doesn't it?

Well, it seems not, because despite Donald Trump saying everyone hates you, unsurprisingly, perhaps that didn't affect Benjamin Netanyahu.

And he continued on with those strikes against Hezbollah.

Despite, as I said at the beginning, this weird situation where everyone says, oh, yeah, there's a ceasefire in place.

And yet both sides continue to attack each other.

And it says an awful lot, doesn't it, about the authority of Donald Trump, the authority of America, because on the other side of this, you've Marco Rubio pleading with the UN now to help them open the Strait of Hormuz.

And that help isn't coming, it seems.

They are interesting characters that you mentioned, aren't they?

Because they will go with whatever way the wind is blowing or the way they perceive the wind to be blowing.

So clearly there is a grassroots pushback against Israel coming through now.

I mean, you're talking about Megan and Tucker, these podcasters now who aren't really thought leaders, they're thought followers.

Am I right?

Do you remember he went to Russia just after Donald Trump was elected this time and Donald Trump clearly was appeasing Putin.

Tucker Carlson goes over there and does that sycophantic interview with him.

and almost a tourist video in and around Moscow because he felt that that's what everybody wanted him to do.

Now I feel that he thinks that Republicans and the MAGA base would like him to push back against this alliance with Israel and therefore that's where he is going.
