Hal Lindsey’s New TV Show
Featuring Exclusive Interview with Former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Launches this Sunday

NAPLES, Florida, Feb. 3 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The Hal Lindsey Report, the new half-hour TV show hosted by Christian author and Bible prophecy theologian, Hal Lindsey, will have its first airing this Sunday night on the Angel One network via the Sky Angel nationwide, direct-to-home satellite television service. The inaugural show, airing at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT, will feature an exclusive interview with former Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mr. Netanyahu has been stirring media speculation of his possible political gain in the wake of Hamas’ landslide election to power in Gaza and the West Bank. In his program Sunday, Lindsey sets the stage for his interview with Netanyahu.

"Everyone is scrambling to know how to deal with a ‘democratically free election’ resulting in the Palestinians choosing a terrorist organization that vows the destruction of Israel," states Lindsey. "As a result, former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has dramatically moved up in the political polls. The Israelis are beginning to realize that his predictions about their dealings with the Palestinians turned out to be precisely accurate – and that also his ideas for future dealings with them are the wisest on the scene."

During the program, Mr. Netanyahu makes statements on several controversial topics, including:

What he would do if he’s elected again prime minister of Israel;

What the world and Israel should do about Iran’s nuclear aspirations;

How he believes giving in to terrorists in Gaza is like America giving land in New York to Osama bin Laden.

In recently announcing carriage of The Hal Lindsey Report, Sky Angel noted that both parties have also agreed to cooperate on specials featuring Lindsey that will air on Sky Angel's special events channel, Angel Two. Angel One and Angel Two are among 36 TV and radio channels of Christian-inspirational, family entertainment and 24-hour news programming delivered into homes, churches and more across America and several U.S. territories as part of the Sky Angel satellite television service.

The Hal Lindsey Report will be a weekly half-hour news and commentary program focused on biblical prophecy and current events, similar to Lindsey's former TV show, International Intelligence Briefing, which up until last December aired for many years on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
