Albo vs Netanyahu and Trump vs Zelensky: Big dog politics is here. And it's brutal.

Global Roaming with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald

It’s not every day a foreign leader calls the Australian Prime Minister “weak” and accuses him of betraying the country’s Jewish community. But that’s exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu did this week, after the Albanese government announced its intention to recognise a Palestinian state and cancelled a visa for far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman. Meanwhile, over in Washington, Donald Trump hosted Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy, this time flanked by a chorus of European leaders including Macron, Starmer and Meloni.

In this bonus episode, Geraldine and Hamish analyse the two big foreign policy dramas that have been lighting up headlines this week.
