Podcast appearances and mentions of daniel kurtzer

Today US President Donald Trump landed in Saudi Arabia, the first stop on his first major foreign trip since returning to office. After Riyadh, he'll go on to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Notably absent from his itinerary is Israel. On Monday, the US went around Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to secure the release of Edan Alexander, the final living American hostage out of Gaza. It appears to be part of a larger pattern, with America also engaging in direct talks with Iran, indirect talks with Hamas and agreeing to a ceasefire deal with the Houthis in Yemen. To assess all this, former US Ambassador to both Egypt and Israel, Daniel Kurtzer joins the show to discuss.   Also on today's show: author Jordan Thomas; actor Kelsey Grammer  Learn more about your ad choices.

For the first time in more than eight months of war, the United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The security council says Israel has accepted the proposal, and US officials are now pressuring Hamas to do the same. But, there are few signs of concrete commitment to ending the war. Joining the show to discuss are Daniel Kurtzer, former US ambassador to Israel and Egypt, and Audrey Kurth Cronin, author of "How Terrorism Ends."  Also on today's show: Harvard law professor Noah Feldman; New York Times reporter Sheera Frenkel  Learn more about your ad choices.

Leaders from the US, UK and EU urge restraint as Israel mulls its response to Iran. America has made it clear it will not participate in a counterattack. Jordan accuses Israel of using this confrontation to take attention off Gaza. Iran's missile and drone attack was heavily telegraphed and 99% intercepted by Israel and its allies, however it raises the question of how Israel would do in an all-out war, without allied participation. The United States remains desperate to prevent that region from descending into a much wider war. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel and Egypt Daniel Kurtzer joins Christiane from Washington DC.  Also on today's show: Neal Katyal, Fmr U.S. Acting Solicitor General / Law Professor, Georgetown University; Eddie Glaude Jr., Author, “We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For” / Professor of African American Studies, Princeton University  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the show, Fareed interviews Daniel Byman, director of Georgetown University's Center for Security Studies, to discuss the horrific terrorist attack near Moscow on Friday. What is the state of Islamic extremism today, and is Putin laying the groundwork to blame Ukraine?    Then, the rift between the U.S. and Israel is widening while Prime Minister Netanyahu stands firm on a planned ground invasion in Rafah. Fareed hosts a panel with New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and Daniel Kurtzer, a former U.S. Ambassador to both Israel and Egypt, to talk about the schism, and what might come next for Gaza.    After that, the new politics of identity. Fareed shares one of the arguments he makes in his new book, “Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present”: that social and cultural issues, not economic interests, are driving political opinions today. This could explain why Biden's approval numbers are low despite a booming economy.    Fareed is then joined by Walter Isaacson, renowned journalist and biographer, who asks Fareed about his new book.    Finally: What is the secret to happiness? Fareed examines what is making us happy, and what we can learn from countries like Finland, which has yet again topped the list of the world's happiest countries.    GUESTS: Daniel Byman (@dbyman), Bret Stephens, Daniel Kurtzer (@DanKurtzer), Walter Isaacson Learn more about your ad choices.

As crises collide in the Middle East, how should the Biden administration respond to the killing of the first American service members in that region since October 7? How can the United States also convince Israel to ensure fewer civilians are killed in Gaza, where Palestinian health authorities now say more than 26,000 are dead, with 200 killed in the last 24 hours alone? Attempting to answer those questions and others is Daniel Kurtzer, who was US Ambassador to Cairo under the Clinton administration and to Tel Aviv for George W. Bush. He joins the show from Washington.  Also on today's show: Kang Kyung-wha, Incoming President and CEO, Asia Society; Monica Yunus, Daughter of Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus; Michael Kirk, Director, Frontline's "Democracy on Trial"  Learn more about your ad choices.

As Israel says its troops have entered Gaza City, the humanitarian crisis is stark. Bakeries in North Gaza are closed, according to the UN, and hospitals are nearly out of fuel, says the Palestinian Red Crescent. The UN Secretary-General today called for an unconditional release of all the hostages, but also pleaded for Palestinians to be seen as separate from Hamas. The IDF gave remaining Gaza City residents five hours to evacuate south, but as Salma Abdelaziz reports, the destruction caused by Israeli bombing means travel is slow and dangerous.  Also on today's show: David Miliband, CEO and President, International Rescue Committee / Former UK Foreign Secretary; Daniel Kurtzer, Former US Ambassador to Israel; Astead Herndon, National Political Reporter, The New York Times  Learn more about your ad choices.

A week of violence and tragedy is ending with fears of further escalation. Alia Zaki of the UN World Food Programme joins The House to talk about how the humanitarian situation is developing right now. Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney weighs in on how Canada should respond to the crisis and whether it has the influence to make a difference. Former diplomats Arif Lalani and Daniel Kurtzer also analyze the conflict so far, the risks of escalation and the prospects for resolution. Plus — Canada's former ambassador to Ukraine Larisa Galadza reflects on how the outbreak of violence has shifted some focus away from the war in Ukraine, and what it could mean for that country's desperate struggle.

Over the past several days the Israeli military has continued a devastating bombardment of the Gaza Strip, with airstrikes flattening entire neighborhoods. Forces also cut off supplies to the area as troops gathered for a likely ground invasion. This is, of course, in retaliation for the attack by Hamas fighters in Israeli territory on Saturday that left 1300 dead and filled social media with images of intense brutality against civilians. “I think we're still in this period of grief,” says Daniel Kurtzer, former U.S. Ambassador to both Israel and Egypt. Kurtzer currently teaches Middle East policy at Princeton University and joined Diane to help give context to the tragic events unfolding in the Middle East.

Israel's current political turmoil, driven by the most far-right government in that nation's history, has renewed the debate over America's financial assistance to that country. The U.S. has been a supporter of Israel since its creation in 1948. William Brangham discussed the calls to change that with Daniel Kurtzer and Dennis Ross.

After the Trump administration made a mockery of Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, came the Biden administration with a policy that does not presume to relaunch a peace process but rather keep the path open to future negotiations. Two veterans of Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts say Biden is missing an opportunity and must change course.        

In this episode, BICOM's Samuel Nurding speaks with Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer about the Biden administration's approach to the Middle East. Ambassador Kurtzer draws on his unique experience as the US Ambassador to Israel and Egypt to discuss the US role in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the challenges of confronting Iran and reconstruction in Gaza, and Israel's relations with its neighbours in the region. Daniel C. Kurtzer is the S. Daniel Abraham Professor of Middle East Policy Studies at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs. During a 29-year career in the U.S. Foreign Service, Ambassador Kurtzer served as the United States Ambassador to Israel and as the United States Ambassador to Egypt.

What is the path to real peace in the Middle East, after the recent fighting between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group in Gaza? We discuss the road ahead with Bessma Momani, a political scientist at the University of Waterloo who specializes in Middle East politics and economics; and Daniel Kurtzer, a former US diplomat, who served as the country's ambassador to Egypt under Bill Clinton and ambassador to Israel under George W. Bush.

Prior to that, Stephen Roach, a professor at Yale University, says the U.S. is growing beyond its means. Jan Schakowsky, a representative from Illinois, says she hopes Trump's budget proposal is "dead on arrival." Daniel Kurtzer, the former U.S. ambassador to Israel, says Trump's speech in Jerusalem conveyed that a larger force will act against terrorism. Steve Rattner, Willett Advisors' chairman, says Silicon Valley feels unloved by the Trump administration.

Almost every U.S. president has struggled to broker peace agreements in the Middle East, especially among Israel and Palestine. For many, the possibility of a peace agreement seems dire, with a two-state solution that seems to be fleeting. But what can we expect to see from President Donald Trump? To unravel these complex issues, Amb. Daniel Kurtzer joins this episode of Politics & Polls with co-hosts Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang. Kurtzer is the S. Daniel Abraham Visiting Professor in Middle Eastern Policy Studies at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Following a 29-year career in the U.S. Foreign Service, Kurtzer retired in 2005 with the rank of career-minister. From 2001 to 2005, he served as the U.S. ambassador to Israel and, from 1997 to 2001, he served as U.S. ambassador to Egypt.
