Ukraine will hold its Presidential Election on March 31st as incumbent Petro Poroshenko seeks a second term despite having low approval ratings inside of the country. International relations analyst Mark Sleboda joins today's show to discuss Poroshenko's main challengers, public frustration with the country's major political parties, and the likelihood that the "Chocolate King" is elected to a second term.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing legal trouble related to allegations of corruption, bribery, and fraud. Former Congressional staffer Joel Segal returns to the program to talk about Netanyahu's political future and hopes for a possible peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians.
Last week, SputnikNews radio host Brian Becker was in Hanoi, Vietnam to cover the high-profile summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

For the final two segments, the hosts are joined in-studio by author and human rights activist Miko Peled to talk about the current situation in Israel and his recent experience traveling throughout the country. What are the main challenges facing the Palestinian people and are relations between Israelis and Palestinians likely to get better or worse in coming months and years?
