Summary

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid criticizes President Trump's special envoy to the Middle East in Steve Witkoff, who seems to wavering when it comes to mediating negotiations between Israel and the terrorist organization that is Hamas in their ongoing war in the Middle East. In other news of the day, Team Jerusalem beats Team Tel Aviv in the first Israeli ice hockey game played in the United States, Columbia University is reportedly on track to recover federal funding if they genuinely meet the demands of the Trump administration when it comes to combatting ant-Semitism on the Ivy League campus, and Sid is officially on the 1-seed Auburn Tigers bandwagon following St. John's elimination from the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, led by staunch pro-Israel voice and legendary coach Bruce Pearl. Gerard Filitti, Miranda Devine, Maud Maron, Angelo Jimenez and David Friedman join Sid on this Monday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
