Dr. Dalia Dassa Kaye, Burkle Center Senior Fellow and Prof. Dov Waxman, The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation Chair of Israel Studies and Professor of Political Science, UCLA

When I spoke to Dalia Dassa Kaye back in early November 2023, she more or less predicted the escalatory cycle that is currently unfolding between Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran. In our conversation nearly a year ago, she explained the dynamics that might lead a contained conflict in Gaza to a wider war between Israel and Iran, which could potentially drag in the United States. Events over the last several weeks are unfolding in ways that she predicted. So, I wanted to have her back on the show today to explain why the logic of escalation has taken hold and where this conflict might head next. Dalia Dassa Kaye is a senior fellow at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations. She also has a brand-new piece in Foreign Affairs that covers some of the same ground we discuss today.

On April 1st, Israel launched airstrikes on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Damascus, killing seven Iranian officials, including a very senior general. Iran responded with a massive drone attack on Israel, marking the first time that Iran directly attacked Israeli soil. All this is happening, of course, in the context of the conflict in Gaza. My interview guest Dalia Dassa Kaye is a Senior Fellow at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations and a Fulbright Schuman Visiting Scholar at Lund University. She has done extensive research and writing on the mechanics of armed conflict escalation in the Middle East, which we discuss in the context of this current crisis. We kick off discussing the recent series of events since April before having a broad conversation about the dynamics of escalation between Israel and Iran. This includes the potential that the United States becomes more deeply dragged into this conflict in the Middle East.

Four months after Hamas's October 7 attack, the war in Gaza continues with little reason to think that Israel is particularly close to achieving its declared goals. Meanwhile, the Middle East is on the precipice of a full-scale regional war—and it may be that that war has already begun. Dahlia Scheindlin is a pollster, a policy fellow at Century International, and a columnist at Haaretz. She is the author of the new book, The Crooked Timber of Democracy in Israel. Dalia Dassa Kaye is a senior fellow at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations and a Fulbright Schuman Visiting Scholar at Lund University. We discuss the domestic political landscape inside Israel, the risks of further escalation in the region, and whether there is a better path forward.

The conflict in Israel and Gaza is escalating, but it has so far not spread in any major way across the region. But so long as the conflict persists, it could just be a matter of time until other fronts of this war open up. Middle East scholar Dalia Dassa Kaye explains how the Gaza war may ignite the entire middle east. She is a senior fellow at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations and a Fulbright Schuman visiting scholar at the Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies at Lund University. We spoke on Tuesday, October 31 about a why a wider regional war is very much in the realm of possibility.  

Israel and Saudi Arabia have never had diplomatic relations. But both countries' leaders appear to want normalization, and the U.S. is actively negotiating its details. It would create a tectonic shift in the Middle East, but critics argue it could come at too high a price for not enough gain. Nick Schifrin discussed the possible deal with Robert Satloff, Bernard Haykel and Dalia Dassa Kaye. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

In seven episodes, the Babel: U.S. Power and Influence in the Middle East podcast miniseries will take a closer look at two decades of heightened U.S. engagement in the region. Over seven weeks, Babel will cover how the United States has used its military, economic, diplomatic, and soft power tools in the Middle East—and how the Middle East has responded.   In the seventh episode, Jon concludes the series by looking at views on how the Middle East should fit into U.S. global strategy.

Dalia Dassa Kaye and Jeff Martini of RAND re-envision U.S. policy in the Middle East.

Dalia Dassa Kaye and Jeff Martini of RAND re-envision U.S. policy in the Middle East

When it comes to domestic politics, President Joe Biden has surprised some people by becoming an agent of progressive change.  When it comes to foreign policy, especially policies affecting the Middle East, Dalia Dassa Kaye of the Wilson Center and the RAND Corporation says, necessary changes have been noticeably absent. The murderous Saudi Crown Prince has gone unpunished, and nuclear weapons negotiations with Iran haven’t gotten re-started. 

Dalia Dassa Kaye, RAND senior political scientist and Wilson Center Fellow; Linda Robinson, Director of the RAND Center for Middle East Public Policy; and Jeffrey Martini, RAND Senior Middle East researcher, discuss their recent RAND report, ‘Reimaging US strategy in the Middle East, including a new approach to assess US partnerships in the region; how Iran can be ‘right sized’ in US strategy; the increasing importance of Iraq as a regional partner for the United States; why the US should still win the battle for influence relative to Russia and China in the Middle East; and how US policy tools can be recast to reach out to the region’s next generation.

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW we are joined by Wilson Quarterly editor Richard Byrne and contributors to the Winter 2021 issue Alasdair Roberts and Dalia Dassa Kaye.  Alasdair discusses his article The Hundred Day Mistake: Is an FDR-style legislative blitz the best way forward in our present crisis? Dalia examines the Iran nuclear deal in her article Reverse Engineering: Can revival of the nuclear deal with Iran spark a new regional security dialogue?

Finally, what has this pandemic done to humanity?

There seem to be fewer and fewer opportunities to build relationships between adversarial governments in the Middle East region. Even the faint promise that briefly flared during the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program has faded. Today, the Middle East has fewer communications channels and institutional forums than any other region in the world. Dalia Dassa Kaye and David Griffiths debate some of the incremental possibilities to begin constructing (or reconstructing) the region’s security architecture. If expectations are kept low and governments are willing to improvise, these researchers suggest there are prospects to establish rudimentary security architecture. Griffiths argues that sailors can find common ground on technical matters like incidents at sea and search and rescue, which can provide the basis of some security cooperation. Dassa Kaye suggests that new initiatives can come out of difficult period like the present. Can technical agreements over sea lanes, nuclear waste, or disputed boundaries ever translate into the type of political process necessary to effectively manage conflict, or resolve it? Read Dalia Dassa Kaye’s “Can It Happen Here? Prospects for Regional Security Cooperation in the Middle East,” David N. Griffiths’ “Oceans of Opportunity: Maritime Dimensions of Security in the Arab World,” and Thanassis Cambanis’ “The Israel-Hezbollah Channel: UNIFIL’s Effective but Limited Conflict-Management Mechanism.” These reports are part of the TCF project “Order from Ashes: New Foundations for Security in the Middle East.” Participants include: Dalia Dassa Kaye, director, Center for Middle East Public Policy, the RAND Corporation David N. Griffiths, independent researcher and former Canadian naval officer Thanassis Cambanis, senior fellow, The Century Foundation
