What is the controversial Hannibal Directive that allows Israeli soldiers to fire on their own troops – and civilians, too?

In this 22-minute monologue, Mehdi takes you through the day of October 7th, through reporting in Israeli media and footage of high-ranking military members themselves admitting that the Hannibal Directive was activated that day. But, there is one key question still remaining: how many people were killed not by Hamas, but by Israeli forces acting on the Hannibal Directive?

And why the cover-up in legacy western media outlets, when Israeli media showed the former Israeli defense minister saying himself, that Hannibal WAS used on that day.

They may not report on it, but we here at Zeteo, will. This video was published on October 6, 2026 on zeteo.com

“I think the changes that we need to make, both in terms of our domestic policy and foreign policy, are huge.”

In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, Mehdi Hasan sits down with Maryland senator Chris Van Hollen to discuss Israeli war crimes, the growing threat of AI, the future of the Democratic Party and his own 2028 presidential ambitions.

In the conversation, Van Hollen explains that he’s “kicking the tires” on a 2028 national campaign. Mehdi also presses the senator on his vote for a future Senate majority leader, one day after the Senate rejected Van Hollen’s resolution calling for a State Department report on the deaths of nine American citizens killed by Israeli forces and settlers.

They also discuss Biden’s handing of the Gaza genocide, Van Hollen’s age factoring into his consideration for a 2028 presidential bid, AI, Trump’s relation with Xi Jinping and more.

As the genocide in Gaza continues and settler violence in the West Bank reaches an “all-time high,” UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese joins Mehdi in a Town Hall with Zeteo’s paid subscribers.

The two discuss the latest on the horrors Palestinians are facing in Gaza, how the Iran war has been the “perfect alibi” to distract from the genocide, and whether the upcoming Israeli elections will change anything.

Albanese also talks about the effects of being sanctioned by the Trump administration, noting that she will “fight this with all the transparency and the honesty that is required.”

During the Town Hall, Albanese answers a wide range of questions from Mehdi and paid subscribers, on topics including the recent criticism over her remarks about Ukraine and accusations of being pro-Russia. And she discusses her upcoming report on the media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is in a tight race against GOP candidate Mike Rogers, one that could determine which party controls the Senate during the second half of Trump’s presidency.

If El-Sayed wins in November, he would become the first Muslim to ever be elected to the U.S. Senate. But on the campaign trail, he’s faced a barrage of racist, Islamophobic attacks from his Republican opponent, right-wing media, and the White House.

Now, in a new and candid interview with Mehdi in Washington DC, El-Sayed doesn’t hold back when it comes to his critics, noting that Vice President JD Vance will “never” have the charisma of his “idiot ass boss,” calls Trump “vain” and “narcissistic,” and says his opponent Mike Rogers is “a bit of a coward.”

Mehdi and El-Sayed discuss Trump’s planned $2.8 billion weapons gift to Israel, the no-show from Mike Rogers, and why Macklemore being dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour is “a dangerous situation.” He also addresses attacks on his wife and his frustration with journalists constantly asking him about Hasan Piker.

"No other foreign country can get investment of local taxpayer dollars, but Israel can.”

US-Palestinian academic and human rights lawyer Noura Erakat went to a Florida budget hearing to protest Palm Beach County’s massive investments in Israeli bonds. She left in handcuffs. The confrontation centered on Palm Beach County’s investments in Israeli bonds — the largest government investment in Israeli bonds anywhere in the world.

She joins Mehdi Hasan in this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ to explain what happened at the hearing, where she says she was denied her constitutional right to comment on the budget, describing how she was ordered to leave before two officers handcuffed her and roughly handled her during the arrest. Erakat was charged with trespass and obstruction after the hearing.

Also joining the conversation is Lydia Ghuman, executive director of the Internationalist Law Center, which organized the effort challenging the county’s investments. Ghuman argues that Florida has become a testing ground for policies surrounding Israeli investments and highlights the relationships between local politicians and pro-Israel advocates.

Mehdi Hasan says his MSNBC show being canceled was the greatest thing that could have happened to him. As the founder of Zeteo, he argues that independent journalism gives him the freedom to speak plainly about topics traditional newsrooms struggle to cover, and that the media’s approach to Israel and Gaza has damaged its credibility with audiences.

In this episode of America, Actually, Vox’s Astead Herndon talks with Hasan about public trust in the news, how journalists respond to President Donald Trump’s attacks on the press, and the relationship between independent media and rising progressive candidates. They also discuss why Israel has become more than a foreign policy issue for some voters, and what those tensions mean for the Democratic Party.

Hi. On today’s episode of Even More News, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan talk about Trump’s “ban on the free press” and how it has already backfired. They also discuss how the military almost let A.I. lead us into a war and the misconduct charges against Lauren Boebert.

Hi. In Today's Even More News, Olayemi Olurin joins Katy, Cody, and Jonathan to talk about the snowballing controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran and Macklemore. They also talk about the new "sale" of bombs to Israel, JD Vance's pitch for the midterms, and Mitch McConnell (RIP) and his dedication to voting in the Senate even while being technically a mummified shrimp.

Exactly one year ago, Mehdi was joined on ‘We’re Not Kidding’ by actor Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Incredible Hulk in Marvel’s ‘Avengers’ movies. So it feels fitting that today’s guest is none other than Emmy award-winning actor Tatiana Maslany who plays She-Hulk in the Marvel TV series of the same name. Like Mark, Tatiana has been an outspoken advocate for Palestine over the past few years and continues to use her platform to bring attention to Israel’s genocide.

Mehdi also asks Tatiana about the issues roiling Hollywood right now, including the widespread adoption of AI technology (“idiotic” says Tatiana) and the looming acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by the Trump-aligned Ellison family. Finally, Mehdi asks Tatiana to “burst the bubble” for Americans who think Canada and Canadian politics are more progressive than here in the U.S.

“We still live in a culture that took my daughter, made a mess of the country she left behind, and every single day I want people to know that Vanessa would not recognize this country.”

25 years after the 9/11 attacks, the mothers of two victims reflect on their grief and loss, their children’s legacies and the culture of fear and Islamophobia that followed. In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, the two mothers detail the way their lives changed forever to Mehdi Hasan.

“I remember the 29-year-old woman who was going to change our lives,” says Donna Marsh O’Connor, who lost her pregnant daughter, Vanessa Lang Langer, who worked in the World Trade Center’s South Tower.

And for Talat Hamdani, the loss of her 23-year-old son, EMT and NYPD cadet Mohammad Salman Hamdani, was followed by suspicion and smears because of his Muslim faith. “There was an article in the New York Post… trying to paint a picture of him being as a terrorist,” Hamdani tells Mehdi.

Throughout the interview, both mothers share how they turned their grief and mourning into advocacy against hate, bigotry and Islamophobia.
