EA VideoCast: Trump and the Middle East

Posted by Scott Lucas | Nov 16, 2024 | 0

L to R: Egypt’s Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, and Donald Trump at a summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 2017

I joined Dr. Shubhda Chaudhary’s Middle East Insight for a 69-minute VideoCast covering Donald Trump’s election, Israel’s open-ended wars in Gaza and Lebanon, and other developments in the Middle East.

I begin with an analysis of the current state of Israel’s operations, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on the day of the US election; Qatar’s expulsion of Hamas; and the politics of Saudi Arabia’s denunciation of Israeli “genocide”.

The conversation continues with an examination of the situations in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran.
