At the G7 summit in France, President Trump dismissed claims of $300 billion in funds to rebuild Iran on Tuesday, saying the U.S. is ‘not investing any money in Iran.' The president denied the claim twice during a bilateral meeting with the Emir of Qatar. Trump also said that he is ‘not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon and with Hezbollah.' The President also said he wants to focus on Ukraine, meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the G7.Gas prices fell below $4 a gallon on Sunday for the first time since mid-April. The drop comes as hopes for a possible end to the war in Iran improve market sentiment. President Trump also said that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen without tolls, and that the U.S. blockade on Iran would be lifted. A formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday in Switzerland.Eight people are dead after an Air Force B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California. Officials at the base say the aircraft was conducting a local test flight tied to a radar modernization program. The victims included military personnel, government civilians and contractors. Investigators have not determined what caused the crash and say the review could take months.

Je ale pravda, že v zemích jako Emiráty, Omán, Kuvajt a Katar jsme od vypuknutí války nic nového nepotvrdili. Dojíždějí projekty, které byly nasmlouvané a kterých je naštěstí hodně. Ty dál pokračují, dál chodí platby, ale vše nové se posouvá,“ říká v Agendě Seznam Zpráv Byznys Leon Jakimič. Agenda. Rozhovory s top lídry českého byznysu, zakladateli firem, odborníky.

- Hocam, Fâtiha okuyacak mıyız? - Okuyun, okuyun. Ruhuna giderse gider, gitmezse sevap kazanmış olursunuz. Her Semerkand ziyaretimizde, Emir Timur'un o koyu yeşil yeşim taşından sandukasının başında durduğumuzda, yukarıda aktardığım diyalog muhakkak yaşanır.

Para entender a disputa entre Estados Unidos e China é preciso recuar até 1776. Essa é a tese de Pedro Costa Jr., editor de Geopolítica e Relações Internacionais do jornal GGN, doutor em Ciência Política pela Universidade de São Paulo e autor do recém-lançado Estados Unidos versus China, a luta pelo poder global, publicado pela Editora Escuta. Neste episódio, produzido em parceria com o Observatório Político dos Estados Unidos, Tatiana Teixeira, editora-chefe do OPEU, e Yasmin Reis, pesquisadora do OPEU e doutoranda em Relações Internacionais pelo Programa Interinstitucional Santiago Dantas, recebem Pedro para uma conversa que articula teoria do poder global, história de longa duração e conjuntura contemporânea. A entrevista atravessa o encontro secreto entre Henry Kissinger e Zhou Enlai em 1971, a histórica visita de Nixon a Mao Tse Tung em 1972, o trauma do Vietnã, a reforma e abertura conduzida por Deng Xiaoping, a entrada da China na Organização Mundial do Comércio em 2001, o pivô fracassado de Barack Obama para a Ásia e o consenso bipartidário em Washington em torno da contenção global da China. Pedro discute por que Washington despertou tarde demais para o que Giovanni Arrighi chamou de transferência da fábrica e do cofre do mundo do Atlântico para o Pacífico e o que a aliança sem limites entre China e Rússia, firmada vinte dias antes da invasão da Ucrânia, sinaliza sobre o fim da velha ordem mundial liberal.

IAD Talks - týždenné spravodajstvo. Odchod Spojených arabských emirátov z kartelu OPEC bol premysleným a načasovaným krokom, ktorý napriek očakávaniam nespôsobil výrazný otras na trhu s ropou, najmä vďaka aktuálnej geopolitickej situácii a uzavretému Hormuzský prielivu. Emiráty tak neodchádzajú zo slabosti, ale z pozície silného hráča s vlastnou infraštruktúrou, rastovým potenciálom a ambíciou zvýšiť príjmy aj za cenu oslabenia samotného kartelu.Téme sa vo svojom týždňovom komentári z finančných trhov podrobnejšie venuje Adam Záhorský...IAD TALKS, týždenník, IAD Investments,správ. spol., a.s., Malý trh 2/A, 811 08 Bratislava, IČO: 17 330 254, dátum vydania: 04.05.2026, 22/2026, EV 139/23/EPP..*UPOZORNENIE.

Ropný trh sa dostáva do novej fázy. Spojené arabské emiráty sa odkláňajú od kartelu OPEC, ktorý dlhodobo ovplyvňoval ceny ropy. Podľa analytika Jiřího Gavora to môže byť paradoxne dobrá správa pre Európu – vyššia ponuka ropy by totiž mohla tlačiť ceny nadol. USA sú v paradoxnej pozícii – vysoké ceny ropy im zároveň škodia aj zarábajú. Ak bude konflikt v Hormuzskom prielive dlhý, cena ropy pôjde ešte vyššie. Ak nie, cena ropy môže opäť klesnúť pod 80 dolárov za barel.

Spojené arabské emiráty oznámily, že vystoupí z Organizace zemí vyvážejících ropu OPEC. Tedy světového ropného kartelu, který mnohokrát zamával světovými cenami černého zlata a dokázal způsobit zdražení ropy i její nedostatek.Všechny díly podcastu Názory a argumenty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Raidījumā Divas puslodes par Bulgāriju, par Ukrainu un, protams, arī par notiekošo Tuvajos Austrumos.  Donaldam Trampam vakar vakarā nācās pagarināt pamieru termiņu karā ar Irānu. Bulgārijā, izskatās, ir pārvarēta politiskā krīze - dažu gadu laikā tur notikušas astoņas ārkārtas parlamenta vēlēšanas, beidzot vienai koalīcijai ir vairākums. Tiesa, vēlēšanu rezultāti daudzus pamatīgi satrauc. Ukrainā frontē jau ilgu laiku būtisku izmaiņu tikpat kā nav, toties prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis nesen izstāstīja par kādu īpašu militāru operāciju, kurā krievu pozīcijas tika ieņemtas tikai ar kaujas robotu palīdzību, saņemot vairākus karavīrus arī gūstā. Aktualitātes analizē Ģeopolitikas pētījumu centra vecākais pētnieks Jānis Kažociņš un Ziemeļeiropas politikas centra direktors Artis Pabriks. Vai nācis bulgāriem „laimes lācis”? Politiskā krīze Bulgārijā ilgst kopš 2021. gada, taču tās saknes meklējamas vēl senāk – pagājušajā desmitgadē, kad premjerministra krēslu teju nemainīgi ieņēma partijas GERB jeb „Pilsoņi par Bulgārijas eiropeisku attīstību” līderis Boiko Borisovs. Jo tuvāk desmitgades beigām, jo pamanāmāk izpaudās korupcijas un valsts nozagšanas pazīmes. 2020. gada vasarā izvērtās pret valdību vērsti protesti, uz kuru fona veidojās vairākas jaunas t.s. „pārmaiņu partijas” ar antikorupcijas ievirzi. 2021. gada aprīlī notikušās vēlēšanas bija Borisova ēras beigas, taču parlaments izrādījās sadalīts apmēram vienlīdzīgi starp Borisova orbītas partijām, „pārmaiņu partijām” un kreiso bloku, kura centrā bija Bulgārijas Sociālistiskā partija, kādreizējās kompartijas mantiniece. Kopš 2021. gada Bulgārijā notikušas astoņas parlamenta vēlēšanas, pie tam no šajā periodā pastāvējušajām valdībām tikai trīs bija parlamentāras koalīcijas kabineti, savukārt četras – ar prezidenta dekrētu apstiprinātas pagaidu valdības. Arvien pamanāmāks šajos gados kļuva vēl viens spēks – labēji radikālās, nacionālistiskās partijas. Šī gada janvārī, gadu sabijusi pie varas, atkāpās Rosena Žeļazkova mazākuma valdība, kuru premjera partija GERB veidoja kopā ar sociālistu bloku un populistisko spēku „Ir tāda tauta”, un ar turku minoritāti pārstāvošās partijas Tiesību un brīvību alianse ārpuskoalīcijas atbalstu. Tūlīt pēc tam no amata atkāpās valsts prezidents Rumens Radevs, atvaļināts ģenerālmajors un kādreizējais Bulgārijas gaisa spēku komandieris, kurš 2017. gadā tika ievēlēts kā neatkarīgais kandidāts un ieguvis popularitāti kā politiski neatkarīgs valsts galva un Borisova iedibinātās oligarhiskās varas kritiķis. Radevs izveidoja partiju bloku „Progresīvā Bulgārija” ar kredo „Bulgārija pirmajā vietā!”, kurā iesaistījās kreisas ievirzes spēki – Politiskā kustība „Sociāldemokrāti”, Sociāldemokrātiskā partija un burtiski vēlēšanu priekšvakarā izveidotā „Mūsu tautas kustība”. Pirms vēlēšanām „Progresīvajai Bulgārijai” prognozēja apmēram trešdaļu balsu, taču 19. aprīlī tā ieguva nepilnus 44% un 131 no 240 deputātu vietām, tātad valdības veidošanai nepieciešamo vairākumu. Eksprezidenta blokam izdevies ne tikai atņemt teju visas balsis sociālistiem un apmēram divas piektdaļas no GERB elektorāta, bet arī atstāt ārpus parlamenta lielu daļu no labējo radikāļu partijām. Vienīgi liberālajam „pārmaiņu partiju” blokam izdevies saglabāt savas pozīcijas. Jau pirms vēlēšanām izskanēja bažīgas balsis, ka pāris nedēļas pēc atkratīšanās no Viktora Orbana Eiropas politika tagad būs ieguvusi viņa vietā jaunu Kremļa iztapoņu Rumena Radeva personā. Prezidenta amatā esot, Radevs paudis skepsi par militārā atbalsta lietderību Ukrainai, vēlmi uzturēt konstruktīvu dialogu ar Krieviju un mērenu eiroskepticismu. Pats eksprezidents gan jau priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā deklarēja, ka negrasoties bloķēt Eiropas Savienības finanšu atbalstu Ukrainai. Tāpat eksperti lēš, ka viņš, iespējams, mazinās tiešo militāro palīdzību Kijivai, taču diezin vai kavēs Bulgārijas privāto ieroču ražotāju darījumus ar Ukrainu. Pasaule uz Hormuza āķa Šodien, 22. aprīlī, bija jābeidzas Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa noteiktajam uguns pārtraukšanas termiņam konfliktā ar Irānu, taču vakar pievakarē pēc Vašingtonas laika prezidents paziņoja, ka pauze karadarbībā tiek pagarināta. Irānai tiekot dots laiks, lai izstrādātu pozīciju miera sarunām, kuru atsākšanās tika gaidīta jau pirmdien. Tomēr amerikāņu delegācija viceprezidenta Vensa vadībā tā arī nesēdās lidmašīnā uz Islamabadu, kad kļuva skaidrs, ka Teherānas pārstāvji tur neieradīsies. No Irānas galvaspilsētas pienāk ziņas, ka turienes politiskajā virsotnē notiek asa cīņa starp tiem, kuri vēlētos turpināt bezkompromisa konfliktu ar Savienotajām Valstīm un Izraēlu, un tiem, kuri būtu gatavi dialogam. Kā „vanagu” bloka galvenie pārstāvji tiek minēti Islāma revolūcijas sargu korpusa pavēlnieks Ahmads Vahidi un Augstākās nacionālās drošības padomes sekretārs Mohammads Bāghers Zolghadrs, savukārt t.s. „pragmatiķi” koncentrējas ap parlamenta spīkeru Mohammadu Bāgheru Gālibafu. Oficiālā Teherānas pozīcija pašreiz ir – neatsākt sarunas, kamēr Savienoto Valstu jūras spēki turpina Irānas ostu blokādi. Tādējādi Hormuza šaurums joprojām paliek dubultās blokādes žņaugos, jēlnaftas „Brent” cena svārstās ap simts dolāriem par barelu, dabasgāzes cenas Eiropā dubultojušās līdz līmenim sešdesmit eiro par megavatstundu, un viss notiekošais tiek vērtēts kā smagākā enerģētikas krīze pasaules vēsturē. Tiek piesauktas arī nopietnas bažas par globālo pārtikas apgādi, ciktāl Persijas līča valstis nodrošina arī apmēram trīsdesmit procentus no pasaules minerālmēslu produkcijas. Protams, Irāna savukārt sāpīgi izjūt amerikāņu jūras blokādes sekas. Pārtikas cenas valstī vidēji dubultojušās, bet dažu produktu, piemēram, rīsa cenas augušas vēl daudz ievērojamāk. Naftas eksporta pārtraukšana draud ar nopietnām tehnoloģiskām problēmām naftas ieguves industrijai. Savu rīcības plānu Hormuza krīzes sakarā sākušas būvēt Eiropas valstis. 17. aprīlī Parīzē klātienē tikās Francijas prezidents Emanuels Makrons, Lielbritānijas premjerministrs Kīrs Stārmers, Itālijas premjere Džordža Meloni un Vācijas kanclers Frīdrihs Mercs, savukārt daudzu citu Eiropas un arī ārpus Eiropas valstu vadītāji pieslēdzās samitam attālināti. Nozīmīgākais ir lēmums veidot apvienotus jūras spēkus civilās kuģniecības aizsardzībai Persijas līča rajonā, kuri gan aktīvu darbību varētu uzsākt tikai pēc tam, kad tiktu panākta miera vienošanās starp Savienotajām Valstīm un Irānu. Gatavību nozīmīgi iesaistīties paudušas arī Nīderlande, Spānija un Grieķija; kopdarbībai dots apzīmējums Hormuza šauruma kuģošanas brīvības iniciatīva. Šodien un rīt turpinājuma sesijā Londonā tiek risināti jau konkrētāki militārās plānošanas jautājumi. Piedalās ne tikai Eiropas NATO dalībvalstu, bet arī Kanādas, Japānas, Austrālijas, Apvienoto Arābu Emirātu un Ukrainas, bet ne Savienoto Valstu pārstāvji. Ukraiņu roboti nāk! Nu jau apmēram pusotru gadu presē reizumis parādījusies informācija par Ukrainas bruņoto spēku īstenotām kaujas misijām bez tiešas cilvēku iesaisties, izmantojot tikai robotus. Spriežot pēc šīm publikācijām, pirmā šāda kaujas epizode notikusi 2024. gada decembrī, kad kombinēts lidrobotu un braucošo robotizēto ložmetēju platformu uzbrukums krievu pozīcijām piespiedis ienaidnieku nozīmīgi pārgrupēt spēkus. Tomēr plašāku pasaules mediju uzmanību tēmai piesaistīja prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis, pagājušonedēļ pastāstot par operāciju pērnvasar, kad ukraiņu roboti ieņēmuši pozīciju, kurā krievi pirms tam sekmīgi atsituši divus konvencionālus kājnieku uzbrukumus. Ukraiņu robotam izdevies uzspridzināt galvenā ienaidnieka bunkura ieeju, pēc kam pozīcijas aizstāvji pacēluši padošanās zīmes pret uzbrucēju lidrobotu kamerām un, šo pašu lidrobotu vadīti, paklausīgi aizsoļojuši uz ukraiņu pozīcijām padoties. Kā zināms, agresorvalsts militāristi savā taktiskajā ēdienkartē joprojām nesmādē lielgabalu gaļu, turpretim Ukrainas bruņotajiem spēkiem katra karavīra dzīvība ir dārga. Tā nu, vēlreiz apliecinot savu radošo un inovatīvo pieeju karadarbībai, Ukraina ir atšķīrusi jaunu lappusi militārajā vēsturē, kas tiek apzīmēta kā attālināti vadīts jeb daļēji autonoms kombinētu ieroču veidu manevrs. Kā norādījis Ukrainas līderis, pirmajos trīs šī gada mēnešos viņa valsts bruņotie spēki veikuši jau 22000 kaujas misiju, kurās izmantotas sauszemes robotizētās platformas. Kaujas lidrobotu izmantošanas apjomi ir vēl daudzkārt lielāki, un tiek nopietni spriests par Ukrainas iespējām šādi kompensēt agresorvalsts dzīvā spēka pārsvaru. Šomēnes Ukraina nozīmīgi intensificējusi arī triecienus Krievijas naftas pārstrādes un eksporta infrastruktūrai, kā rezultātā agresorvalsts naftas ieguve piedzīvojusi kritumu par vismaz trīssimt tūkstošiem barelu dienā, kas ir lielākais kopš globālās pandēmijas perioda. Šie militārie sasniegumi būtiski mainījuši Ukrainas vietu Eiropas drošības stratēģijas izkārtojumā. Kijiva vairs nav atbalsta lūdzēja nevienlīdzīgajā cīņā pret agresiju, bet kļūst par partneri, kas spējīgs piedāvāt neatsvaramu pieredzi jaunākās militārās tehnikas izstrādē un izmantošana taktikā. Konkrēts apliecinājums tam ir pagājušā nedēļā noslēgtais Ukrainas un Vācijas aizsardzības sadarbības pakts četru miljardu eiro vērtībā, kas paredz kopīgu lidrobotu un tālas darbības ieroču ražošanu, kā arī pretgaisa aizsardzības līdzekļu piegādi Ukrainai. Kijivas militāri tehnoloģiskās iespējas arvien vairāk novērtē arī citur pasaulē, t.sk. Persijas līča valstīs, kuras piedzīvojušas Irānas gaisa uzbrukumus. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Die Taliban haben in Afghanistan ein neues Strafgesetzbuch eingeführt, das tief blicken lässt, wie sie sich die afghanische Gesellschaft vorstellen. Während Gewalt gegen Frauen kaum noch unter Strafe steht, droht bei Homosexualität der Tod. Der langjährige Afghanistan-Korrespondent Peter Hornung hat sich die neuen Paragraphen angeschaut und erzählt in dieser 11KM-Folge, welche drastischen Folgen sie haben - und warum vom Rest der Welt so wenig Kritik kommt. Welche Verbindungen es zwischen den Taliban und der deutschen Bundesregierung gibt, das hört ihr in der 11KM-Folge „Taliban-Deal: Der Preis für mehr Abschiebungen“: https://1.ard.de/11KM_Taliban_Deal Hier geht's zu “DER TAG.

#Engelsiz Henüz 10 yaşında, ama hedefi de başarı hikâyesi de şimdiden büyük.

Gut vier Jahre nach der Machtübernahme der Islamisten in Afghanistan zeigt sich: Die Taliban sind kein homogener Block. Zwischen dem extremistischen und dem pragmatischeren Lager schwelt ein Konflikt. Die Taliban haben ein neues Afghanistan geschaffen. Das Land am Hindukusch ist im fünften Jahr ihrer Herrschaft deutlich vorangekommen auf dem Weg zu einem totalitären Gottesstaat. Vor allem in den Städten herrscht die Angst, vor den Patrouillen der Sittenpolizei und dem allgegenwärtigen Geheimdienst. Gleichzeitig jedoch wird immer wieder klar: Die Taliban sind keine homogene Gruppe, es gibt deutliche Brüche zwischen den Pragmatikern in der Hauptstadt Kabul und den besonders Radikalen im südafghanischen Kandahar. Dort sitzt nämlich der geheimnisvolle Emir, der die oberste Autorität im Land darstellt. Er hat eine weitgehende Blockade des Internets angeordnet, er verbannt Mädchen von den Schulen und Frauen von den Universitäten. Doch seine Dekrete werden regelmässig von gemässigteren Regime-Vertretern sabotiert. Wohin also steuert das Land der Taliban?

Výtah Respektu: Konflikt na Blízkém východě pokračuje již třetím dnem. Poté, co USA a Izrael v sobotu ráno letecky zaútočily na Írán, který okamžitě přistoupil k odvetě, se tyto země i nadále vzájemně ostřelují. Podle íránského Červeného půlměsíce si americké a izraelské útoky doposud vyžádaly přes 550 obětí. Ty zůstaly i po íránských protiútocích, které míří také do zemí v Perském zálivu. Týká se to třeba Spojených arabských emirátů, Bahrajnu i Kataru. Proč Írán útočí právě na ně? Jaká je reakce Íránců a Íránek na vnější útok, přičemž Spojené státy a Izrael vyzvaly lidi ke svržení režimu? Má po zabití nejvyššího duchovního vůdce šanci se udržet? Nejen o tom mluví v pondělní epizodě Dominika Perlínová.

This sonic work is an attempt to communicate my profound childhood relationship with Kano, as well as to hint at the complex layers of Northern Nigeria. It is a piece of strange juxtapositions, and cross-cultural interferences and vibrations. The sounds of ancient rock gongs in Birnin Kudu reverberating across the plains, beating out Hausa and Fulani rhythms and songs; the colonial British voice, a history of violence; and the beauty of the Hausa language. Sounds of my child self from 1970s, recorded 47 years ago, captured a bird call, and myself mimicking that bird, called Ragon Maza in the Hausa language. Beyond the hiss, which seems like a sonic version of the mists of time, you can hear the sounds at dusk, one evening of my childhood, the distant prayer call from Kano mosque, and the sounds of evening crickets. My flame tree seed pod, from our Kano garden, that has travelled the world with me in my suitcase, shimmies in the background. Kano beads, which you can hear, are glass beads that were made in Palestine, from Dead Sea salt, and sand, made in the glassmaking city of Al Khalil (current day Hebron), supplying glass beads that were traded in Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and finally arrived in Kano city. Mine are green.I have taken multiple fragments from a 5-inch reel tape recording, held in the Pitt Rivers Museum sound archive, recorded by Bernard Evelyn Buller Fagg, between June and September 1955, when he was working for the British Colonial administration. He was an archaeologist interested in rock gongs, and he came across several ancient caves, with rock gongs, and important cave paintings, in the area of Birnin Kudu, an old city with ancient history, in Northern Nigeria, that was once part of Kano state. He invited local drummers to see if the rock gongs could match their traditional drums and rhythms. The various sections included sounds of the ‘string drum' or Kalangu drum, a Hausa talking drum, the rhythm of the Tambari, used to greet chiefs and emirs. And many other local songs, and numerous types of drumming. I picked the ones that I loved most. Where possible I have tried to pair the rhythm on rock gongs with the rhythm on the drum itself. I interweave the glitches from the 1955 recording, as sonic interference - colonial interference, or my own presence, or maybe its the sound of tuning into the past.Umar Shamsi Muhammad, a university student, helped me gather additional sounds, from the Birnin Kudu caves. He captured sounds of students and curators beating the rock gongs in the main caves, of Mesa and Habude, and interviewed an historian, Umar Farouk Abubakar. You can hear two fragments of this interview, as well as a Hausa / Fulani flute player and drummer, playing the Koroso dance in the caves. In the centre of this piece are the sounds of the actual Tambari drum, and the exhilarating sound of the double reed wind instrument called the Algaita, played recently in Kano, for the greeting of the Emir of Kano.You can understand all about how Nigeria was created, by reading the excellent book by Max Siollun, called What Britain Did To Nigeria. I have included a quote from a British soldier who was part of the battle for the Sokoto Caliphate in March 1903, who describes the battle as "some slaughter, much fun". A British officer explains: "we chase and kill until the area is clear of living men - and we tire of blood and bullets".Rock gong music from Nigeria reimagined by Salma Ahmad Caller.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Ever wondered how the Kingdom where President Bola Tinubu got his popular title – Jagaban Borgu – is faring?In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye sits down with Murtala Haliru Dantoro, Prince of the Borgu Royal Family and son of the late Emir, Senator Haliru Dantoro Kitoro III.Dantoro reflects on his father's close bond with President Bola Tinubu, the historic roots of the Jagaban title, and the evolving realities of the Borgu Kingdom today. He speaks candidly about the growing security challenges in the region, the limitations of local government in tackling insecurity, and why he believes stronger federal intervention, including a visible military presence, is critical to safeguarding lives and communities.On national politics and the road to 2027, he shares his perspective on the shifting landscape, the potential strength of an opposition coalition, and why an Atiku–Obi ticket could reshape the contest against APC dominance, if regional dynamics are properly understood.Guest:Murtala Haliru DantoroPrince, Borgu Royal Family

Šīs nedēļas pasaules notikumu apskatā runājam par spriedzi, kas pēdējās dienās strauji ir pieaugusi ASV, un arī par notiekošo Ukrainā. Aktualitātes analizē Austrumeiropas politikas pētījumu centra pētniece Elīna Vrubļevska un Ziemeļeiropas politikas centra direktors Artis Pabriks. Sazināmies ar Latvijas Sabiedriskā medija korespondenti ASV Inu Strazdiņu.  Mineapoles karstais janvāris Trīsdesmit septiņus gadus vecais amerikānis Alekss Preti, kuru 24. janvārī uz ielas Mineapolē nošāva Savienoto Valstu Robežpatruļdienesta darbinieki, ir jau otrais bojāgājušais, kopš Minesotas pavalsts galvaspilsētas ielās izrīkojas federālo dienestu bruņotie un maskotie aģenti. Pirms tam bija 7. janvārī līdzīgā situācijā nogalinātā Renē Guda, tāpat Savienoto Valstu pilsone. Tāda uz šodienu ir asiņainā bilance operācijai, kuru kopš decembra sākuma prezidenta Trampa administrācija īsteno Mineapolē. Līdzīgi kā iepriekšējos gadījumos, kad federālās valdības spēki masveidā tika iesūtīti Losandželosā, Vašingtonā, Memfisā, Čikāgā un Ņūorleānā, arī šoreiz akciju pavadīja skaļi prezidenta un viņa līdzgaitnieku izteikumi par cīņu pret nelikumīgu imigrāciju un ar to saistīto noziedzību. Jau no paša sākuma operācijā iesaistīto federālo dienestu – Imigrācijas un muitas policijas un Robežpatruļdienesta – aģentu rīcība izraisīja juridiskas un ētiskas dabas iebildes. Aresti nenotika pēc kādiem precīziem sarakstiem, bet bieži vienkārši „ķemmējot” pilsētas ielas un publiskās vietas un grābjot ciet katru, kurš no skata vai runas veida atgādināja ieceļotāju. Parādījās ziņas par to, ka aizturēti tiek arī Savienoto Valstu pilsoņi, tai skaitā pat tādi, kuriem līdzi ir personu apliecinoši dokumenti. Pilsoņi, pavadījuši ilgāku vai īsāku laiku kamerā, tika atbrīvoti, savukārt daudzi citi, tai skaitā ļaudis ar patvēruma pieprasītāja statusu vai uzturēšanās atļauju, nogādāti imigrācijas aizturēšanas centros Teksasā. Cik tieši imigrantu bez uzturēšanās statusa ir arestēti, nav īsti skaidrs, bet Savienoto Valstu iekšējās drošības sekretāres Kristi Noemas piesauktais skaitlis „desmit tūkstoši noziedzīgu ārvalstnieku” acīmredzami ir vairakkārt uzpūsts; runa varētu būt par pāris tūkstošiem. Visai paredzami varas kalpu izdarības Minesotā jau drīz izraisīja vietējo iedzīvotāju pretdarbību. Visur, kur parādījās maskotie aģenti, viņus drīz aplenca ūjinoši, filmējoši un viņiem citādi traucējoši ļaudis. Pretim protestētāji saņēma piparu aerosolu un asaru gāzi, un, spriedzei pieaugot, arī lodes. Pie tam federālās valdības pārstāvji, kā viceprezidents Venss un jau pieminētā sekretāre Noema, steidzās pasludināt nogalinātos par „pašmāju teroristiem”, kuri apdraudējuši federālo spēku darbiniekus. Pret pavalsts politiskajiem un tieslietu sistēmas vadītājiem, kuri kritizē operāciju un savu pilnvaru ietvaros pretdarbojas patvaļai, tai skaitā pret Minesotas gubernatoru Timu Volcu, Mineapolisas mēru Džeikobu Freju un pavalsts ģenerālprokuroru Keitu Elisonu Tieslietu departaments ierosinājis kriminālprocesus par iespējamu federālās imigrācijas likumdošanas īstenošanas kavēšanu. Aleksa Preti nāve gan izrādījusies lūzuma punkts. Pirmdien prezidents Tramps piesolīja deeskalāciju, centrālās varas aģentu skaits Mineapolisas ielās pamanāmi saruka. Tika paziņots, ka tiek atsaukts līdzšinējais operācijas vadītājs, odiozu slavu iemantojušais Gregorijs Bovino, viņa vietā ieceļot Baltā nama izpilddirektora vietnieku imigrācijas likumu izpildes un izraidīšanas operāciju jautājumos Tomu Homanu, kurš plašāk pazīstams kā „robežas cars”. Kijiva spītē salam un Putinam Pagājušās nedēļas nogalē Apvienoto Arābu Emirātu galvaspilsētā Abū Dabī notika pirmās trīspusējās sarunas ar Ukrainas, Krievijas un Savienoto Valstu delegāciju piedalīšanos. Kāds izšķirošs progress nav panākts un arī nebija sagaidāms, taču puses gatavojas nākamajam raundam, domājams, šīs nedēļas beigās. Katrs paliek pie sava – Kijiva nav gatava atdot Krievijas vēl neieņemto Donbasa daļu, Maskava netaisās atkāpties no šīs prasības. Vašingtona oficiāli apgalvo, ka nespiežot Ukrainu uz piekāpšanos, taču, kā 27. janvārī ziņoja izdevums „Financial Times”, faktiski spiežot gan, jo norādījusi, ka uz drošības garantijām Ukraina varot cerēt tikai tad, kad būs noslēgusi mieru ar Krieviju. Tikmēr Kremlis, kura izredzes gūt izšķirošus panākumus frontē šķiet apraktas zem janvāra kupenām, piekopj savu pārbaudīto taktiku un cenšas padarīt ukraiņu dzīvi pēc iespējas briesmīgu. Pret Ukrainas pilsētām, šobrīd visvairāk Kijivu, tiek raidīti lidrobotu spieti un raķešu kāši, ar ko ukraiņu pretgaisa aizsardzībai munīcijas deficīta apstākļos ir grūti cīnīties. Galvenais mērķis joprojām tas pats – enerģētikas infrastruktūra, lai pēc iespējas vairāk ukraiņu ziemas salā paliktu bez apkures, ūdensapgādes un elektrības. Kā 27. janvārī norādījis Ukrainas prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis, Kijivā bez apkures joprojām esot vairāk nekā deviņsimt ēku Dņepras upes kreisajā krastā. Taču vēl pirms dažām dienām šis skaitlis bija teju divreiz lielāks – Ukrainas institūcijas dara ko var, lai novērstu nodarīto postu. Triecieni pēdējā diennaktī vērsti arī pret Odesu, Hersonu, Slovjansku, Harkivu, Zaporižji, Krivijrihu un citām vietām. Teju katra kara diena prasa vairākas civiliedzīvotāju dzīvības, un arī vakardiena nebija izņēmums. Pie tam vismaz pieci cilvēki nogalināti, agresorvalsts lidrobotiem uzbrūkot pasažieru vilcienam netālu no Harkivas. Tas viss licis Ukrainas ārlietu ministram Andrijam Sibiham paust rūgtas šaubas par Krievijas vēlmi pēc miera. Viņaprāt Kremļa diplomātiskie manevri ir vien šovs, kas pirmām kārtām adresēts Savienoto Valstu prezidentam Trampam. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

How do you build a powerful business network when you're starting with no members, no brand, and no shortcuts? In this Mentor Moment, Trevor McFarlane, founder and CEO of EMIR, shares how he built one of the Middle East's most influential private CEO networks — starting with a single event, a lot of nerve, and an obsession with trust and curation. Trevor explains why optics matter, how credibility compounds over time, and why protecting the integrity of a network is far more valuable than short-term revenue.

Five years after the signing of the Abraham Accords, the Middle East looks very different—defined by both extraordinary cooperation and unprecedented challenges. In this episode, we unpack how Israel's defensive war on seven fronts affected regional partnerships, why Abraham Accords nations have stood by the Jewish state, and what expanded normalization could look like as countries like Saudi Arabia and others weigh making such monumental decisions.   We also explore the growing importance of humanitarian coordination, people-to-people diplomacy, and the critical role AJC is playing in supporting deeper regional collaboration. From shifting narratives to new economic and security opportunities, we chart what the next five years could mean for peace, stability, and integration across the region. *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.

Transcript: ANNE DREAZEN: One thing that I have learned from my many years at the Department of Defense is that military instruments of power are not sufficient to really build longlasting peace and stability.  The importance of trade, of economic development, of people-to-people ties, is so essential to what we think of as an enduring or a lasting peace. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: In September 2020, the world saw what had been years–decades–in the making. Landmark peace agreements dubbed the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and two Arabian Gulf States, the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain.  Later, in December, they were joined by the Kingdom of Morocco. Five years later, AJC is pulling back the curtain to meet key individuals who built the trust that led to these breakthroughs and build bonds that would last. Introducing: the Architects of Peace. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: It has been five years since Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain signed the Abraham Accords on the South Lawn of the White House. In those five years, Russia invaded Ukraine, sparking a massive refugee crisis. The U.S. elected one president then re-elected his predecessor who had ushered in the Abraham Accords in the first place.  And amid news that Saudi Arabia might be next to join the Accords, the Hamas terror group breached the border between Israel and Gaza, murdered more than 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 more. Israel suddenly found itself fighting an existential war against Iran and its terror proxies on multiple fronts – Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Iran itself. At the same time, Israel also fought a worldwide war of public opinion – as Hamas elevated the death toll in Gaza by using Palestinian civilians as human shields and activists waged a war of disinformation on social media that turned international public perception against the Jewish state. Through it all, the Abraham Accords held. ALI RASHID AL NUAIMI: There are those who work hard to undermine what we are doing. And this is where many question: 'How come the UAE is still part of the Abraham Accords?'  MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi is a leading parliamentarian and educator in the United Arab Emirates. He has served as the Chancellor of the United Arab Emirates University and the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge. He currently serves as the Chairman of the International Steering Board of Hedayah, The International Center of Excellence for Countering Extremism and Violent Extremism. The center is based in Abu Dhabi.  He was one of the first to go on Israeli and Arab media to talk to the general public about the Abraham Accords and was known for correcting news anchors and other interview subjects, that the UAE had not simply agreed to live in peace with the Jewish state. It had agreed to actively engage with the Israeli people. ALI RASHID AL NUAIMI: We saw the importance of engaging with both sides. We saw the importance of talking to the Israeli general public. We saw the importance of dialogue with the government in Israel, the Knesset, the NGO, the academician, businessman. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: That engagement started almost immediately with flights back and forth, musical collaborations, culinary exchanges, academic partnerships, business arrangements–much of which came to a halt on October 7, 2023. But that simply meant the nature of the engagement changed. Since the start of the Israel-Hamas War, the UAE has provided extensive humanitarian aid to Gaza, delivering more than 100,000 tons of food, medical supplies, tents, and clothing, by land, air and sea—about 46% of the total assistance that entered Gaza. It established six desalination plants with a combined capacity of two million gallons per day.  And, in addition to operating field and floating hospitals that treated 73,000 patients, the UAE also provided five ambulances, facilitated a polio vaccination campaign, and evacuated 2,785 patients for treatment in the UAE. From Dr. Al-Nuami's point of view, the Abraham Accords made all of that humanitarian aid possible. ALI RASHID AL NUAIMI: This is why we were able to have these hospitals in Gaza, we were able to do these water solutions for the Palestinians, and we did so many things because there is a trust between us and the Israelis. That they allowed us to go and save the Palestinian people in Gaza.  So there were so many challenges, but because we have the right leadership, who have the courage to make the right decision, who believe in the Abraham Accords principles, the vision, and who's working hard to transform the region. Where every everyone will enjoy security, stability, and prosperity without, you know, excluding anyone. Why the UAE didn't pull out of the Abraham Accords? My answer is this. It's not with the government, our engagement. The government will be there for two, three, four years, and they will change.  Our Abraham Accords is with Israel as a nation, with the people, who will stay. Who are, we believe their root is here, and there is a history and there is a future that we have to share together. And this is where we have to work on what I call people to people diplomacy. This is sustainable peace. This is where you really build the bridges of trust, respect, partnership, and a shared responsibility about the whole region. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: On October 9, two years and two days after the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, the White House announced a ceasefire would take effect, the first step in a 20-point peace plan proposed for the region. Four days later, President Donald Trump joined the presidents of Egypt and Turkey, and the Emir of Qatar to announce a multilateral agreement to work toward a comprehensive and durable peace in Gaza. Since then, all but the remains of three hostages have been returned home, including Lt. Hadar Goldin, whose remains had been held since 2014, ending the longest hostage ordeal in Israel's history. Finally, the prospect of peace and progress seems to be re-emerging. But what is next for the Abraham Accords? Will they continue to hold and once again offer the possibilities that were promised on the White House Lawn in September 2020? Will they expand? And which countries will be next to sign on to the historic pact, setting aside decades of rejection to finally formalize full diplomatic relations with the Jewish state? The opportunities seem endless, just as they did in September 2020 when the Abraham Accords expanded the scope of what was suddenly possible in government, trade, and so much more.  ANNE DREAZEN: The Abraham Accords really opened up lots of opportunities for us in the Department of Defense to really expand cooperation between Israel and its partners in the security sphere.  MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN:  Anne Dreazen spent the last 18 years as a civil servant in the U.S. Department of Defense. For most of that time, she worked on Middle East national security and defense policy, focusing on Iran, Iraq and Lebanon. And most recently serving as the principal director for Middle East policy, the senior civil service job overseeing the entire Middle East office. She was working at the Pentagon when the Abraham Accords were signed under the first Trump administration and immediately saw a shift in the region. ANNE DREAZEN: So, one thing that we saw at the very end of the first Trump administration, and it was made possible in part because of the success of the Abraham Accords, was the decision to move Israel from U.S. European Command into U.S. Central Command. And for many decades, it had been thought that that wouldn't be feasible because you wouldn't have any Middle East countries in CENTCOM that would really be willing to engage with Israel, even in very discreet minimal channels.  But after the Abraham Accords, I think that led us policymakers and military leaders to sort of rethink that proposition, and it became very clear that, it would be better to increase cooperation between Israel and the other Gulf partners, because in many cases, they have similar security interests, specifically concerns about Iran and Iranian proxies and Iranian malign activity throughout the region. And so I think the Abraham Accords was one item that sort of laid the groundwork and really enabled and encouraged us to think creatively about ways through which we could, in the security and defense sphere, improve cooperation between Israel and other partners in the region. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: But sustaining peace in the region is more than a matter of maintaining security. Making sure young people can fulfill their dreams, make a contribution, build relationships and friendships across borders, and transcend religion and ideologies – even those in the security sphere know those are the necessary ingredients for peace and prosperity across the region.  Despite the efforts of Hamas and other Iran-backed terror proxies to derail the Abraham Accords, the U.S., Arab, and Israeli leaders had continued to pursue plans for an Israeli-Saudi peace agreement and to explore a new security architecture to fight common threats. This spirit of optimism and determination led AJC to launch the Center for a New Middle East in June 2024. In October, Anne joined AJC to lead that initiative. ANNE DREAZEN: One thing that I have learned from my many years at the Department of Defense is that military instruments of power are not sufficient to really build long lasting peace and stability. The importance of trade, of economic development, of people-to-people ties is so essential to what we think of as an enduring or a lasting peace.  And so at AJC, we're actually focused on those aspects of trying to advance normalization. Really trying to put more meat on the bones, in the case of where we already have agreements in place. So for example, with Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, the UAE and Morocco, trying to really build out what more can be done in terms of building economic ties, building people-to-people ties, and advancing those agreements. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Of course, that work had already begun prior to Anne's arrival. Just two years after the Abraham Accords, Retired Ambassador to Oman Marc Sievers became director of AJC Abu Dhabi: The Sidney Lerner Center for Arab-Jewish Understanding, the first and only Jewish agency office in an Arab and Islamic country.  After more than 30 years as a U.S. diplomat serving across the Middle East and North Africa, Marc has witnessed a number of false starts between Arab nations and Israel. While the Abraham Accords introduced an unprecedented approach, they didn't suddenly stabilize the region.  Marc's four years in Abu Dhabi have been fraught. In January 2022, Houthis in north Yemen launched a drone and missile attack on Abu Dhabi, killing three civilians and injuring six others. In 2023, the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel, Israel's retaliation, and Israel's war on seven fronts dimmed Emiratis' public perception of Jews. As recently as this past August, the U.S. Mission to the UAE issued a dire warning to Israeli diplomats and Jewish institutions in Abu Dhabi – a threat that was taken seriously given the kidnapping and murder of a Chabad rabbi in 2024.  But just as the UAE stood by its commitment to Israel, Marc and AJC stood by their commitment to the UAE and Arab neighbors, working to advance Arab-Jewish and Muslim-Jewish dialogue; combat regional antisemitism and extremism; and invigorate Jewish life across the region. From Marc's vantage point, the Abraham Accords revolutionized the concept of normalization, inspiring a level of loyalty he's never before seen.  It's worth noting the precursor to the Abraham Accords: the Peace to Prosperity Summit. For decades, diplomats had frowned on the idea of an economic peace preceding a two-state solution.  MARC SIEVERS: That idea's been out there for a long time. …It was just never embraced by those who thought, you know, first you have a two-state solution. You have a Palestinian state, and then other things will follow. This approach is kind of the opposite. You create an environment in which people feel they have an incentive, they have something to gain from cooperation, and that then can lead to a different political environment. I happen to think that's quite an interesting approach, because the other approach was tried for years and years, and it didn't succeed. Rather than a confrontational approach, this is a constructive approach that everyone benefits from. The Prosperity to Peace Conference was a very important step in that direction. It was harshly criticized by a lot of people, but I think it actually was a very kind of visionary approach to changing how things are done. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: The conference Marc is referring to took place in June 2019 –  a two-day workshop in Bahrain's capital city of Manama, where the Trump administration began rolling out the economic portion of its peace plan, titled "Peace to Prosperity."  The workshop's host Bahrain, as well as Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the Emirates participated, to varying degrees.  The plan called for large scale investment, mostly by other countries in the Gulf and Europe, to advance the Palestinian economy, to integrate the Palestinian and Israelis' economies and establish a small but functional Palestinian state.  Angered by Trump's recognition of Jerusalem, Palestinian leadership rejected the plan before ever seeing its details. But as former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman pointed out in an earlier episode of this series, that was expected. The plan enabled Israel to demonstrate that it was open to cooperation. It enabled the Trump administration to illustrate the opportunities missed if countries in the region continued to let Palestinian leadership call the shots. It was economic diplomacy at its finest. And it worked.  MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN:  Benjamin Rogers, AJC's Director for Middle East and North Africa Initiatives, who also serves as Deputy Director of the Center for a New Middle East, said the Center has focused heavily on expanding private sector engagement. Israelis and Arab entrepreneurs have quietly traveled to the U.S. as part of the Center's budding business collectives.  BENJAMIN ROGERS: So people who are focused on med tech, people who are focused on agri tech, people who are focused on tourism. And what we do is we say, 'Hey, we want to talk about the Middle East. No, we do not want to talk about violence. No, we don't want to talk about death and destruction. Not because these issues are not important, but because we're here today to talk about innovation, and we're here to talk about the next generation, and what can we do?' And when you say, like, food security for example, how can Israelis and Arabs work together in a way that helps provide more food for the entire world? That's powerful. How can the Israelis and Arabs working together with the United States help combat cancer, help find solutions to new diseases?  If you really want to get at the essence of the Abraham Accords – the ability to do better and work together, to your average person on the street, that's meaningful. And so one of the initiatives is, hey, let's bring together these innovators, these business leaders, private sector, and let's showcase to Arabs, Israelis, non-Jewish community, what the Middle East can be about. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: People-to-people connections. That's what AJC has done for decades, traveling to the region since 1950 to build bridges and relationships. But providing a platform to help facilitate business ventures? That's a new strategy, which is why AJC partnered with Blue Laurel Advisors. The firm has offices in Tel Aviv, Dubai, and Washington, D.C.. It specializes in helping companies navigate the geopolitics of doing business in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, and Israel.  At AJC Global Forum in April, founder and Managing Director Tally Zingher told an audience that the Abraham Accords, which effectively lifted the UAE's ban on business with Israel, brought already existing deals above the radar. TALLY ZINGHER: We've been wowed by what the Center for a New Middle East has been able to do and put forth in the very short time that it's been incubated and Blue Laurel Advisors are really delighted to be part of this project and we're really aligned with its mission and its vision. It's quite simple in the region because the region is really driven by national agendas. I think it's no surprise that the appendix to the Abraham Accords was a direct parallel to the Abu Dhabi national vision. It's the key areas of growth in UAE and Saudi Arabia that are now really well aligned with Israeli strength.  We're talking about the diversification efforts of the UAE and of Saudi Arabia. At Blue Laurel, we're quite focused on Saudi Arabia because of the real growth story underway there created by the diversification efforts. But they're focused on water, energy, renewable energy, healthy cyber security, tourism. Ten years ago when you were doing this work, 15 years ago there wasn't as much complementarity between Israel and the start-up innovation ecosystem and what was going on. The region is really ready and ripe to have Israeli innovation be a part of its growth trajectory. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Benjy said there's another advantage to building bridges in the business world – continuity. BENJAMIN ROGERS:Out of the three sectors that we're focused on – diplomatic, business, and civil society – business relations are the most resistant to political conflict. There's this element of self interest in it, which I'm not saying is a bad thing, but when you tie the relationship to your own worth and your own value, you're much more likely to go through kind of the ebbs and flows of the political.  Whereas, if you're a civil society, you're really at the mercy of populations. And if the timing is not right, it's not impossible to work together, but it's so much more difficult. Business is even more resistant than political engagement, because if political engagement is bad, the business relationship can still be good, because there's an element of self interest, and that element of we have to work together for the betterment of each other. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: The economic diplomacy complements AJC's partnership with civil society groups, other non-profits that work to bring people together to experience and embody each other's realities in the Middle East. The Center also has continued AJC's trademark traditional diplomacy to expand the circle of peace. Though Marc prefers to call it the circle of productivity.  MARC SIEVERS: I think it achieved new relations for Israel that were perhaps different from what had happened with Egypt and Jordan, where we have long standing peace agreements, but very little contact between people, and very little engagement other than through very specific official channels. The Abraham Accords were different because there was a people-to-people element. The UAE in particular was flooded with Israeli tourists almost immediately after the Accords were signed, Bahrain less so, but there have been some. And not as many going the other way, but still, the human contacts were very much there.  I think it was also building on this idea that economic engagement, joint partnerships, investment, build a kind of circle of productive relations that gradually hopefully expand and include broader parts of the region or the world that have been either in conflict with Israel or have refused to recognize Israel as a sovereign Jewish state. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: It being all of those things explains why the potential for expansion is all over the map. So where will the Abraham Accords likely go next? The Trump administration recently announced the addition of Kazakhstan. But as the Central Asian country already had diplomatic relations with Israel, the move was more of an endorsement of the Accords rather than an expansion. In November 2025, all eyes were on the White House when Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman paid a visit. In addition to the customary Oval Office meeting, President Trump also hosted the Saudi royal at a black-tie dinner. ANNE DREAZEN: Right now, everyone is really talking about and thinking, of course, about Saudi Arabia, and certainly I think there's a lot of promise now with the ceasefire having been achieved. That sort of lays a better groundwork to be able to think about whether we can, whether the United States can play an important role in bringing Saudi Arabia and Israel to the table to move forward on normalization. Certainly from the Saudis have have made they've cautioned that one of their prerequisites is a viable path toward Palestinian statehood. And we've known that, that's in President Trump's 20-point plan. So I think it remains to be seen whether or not Israel and Saudi Arabia can come to a mutually agreed upon way of addressing that key concern for Saudi Arabia. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: But there are also countries who only a year ago never would have considered a relationship with Israel. With Hezbollah diminished and a moderate and forward-leaning Lebanese government in place, quiet conversations are taking place that could lead to a significant diplomatic achievement, even if not as ambitious as the Abraham Accords. The same in Syria, where Ahmed al-Sharaa is sending positive signals that he would at least be willing to consider security arrangements. ANNE DREAZEN: Even if you don't have a Syrian Embassy opening up in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv,  even if you don't have an Israeli embassy opening up in Damascus, there could be other arrangements made, short of a full diplomatic peace accord that would lay the groundwork for some understandings on security, on borders. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Marc said it remains to be seen whether Oman, his final diplomatic post, will join the Accords. Two years before the signing of the Accords, while serving as ambassador, there was a glimmer of hope. Well, more than a glimmer really. MARC SIEVERS: In Oman, the late Sultan Qaboos, a good, almost two years before the Abraham Accords, invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to visit him in his royal palace in Muscat. Netanyahu came with his wife, Sarah, but also with a lot of the top senior leadership. Certainly his military secretary, the head of the Mossad, a few other people. As soon as Netanyahu landed in Israel, the Omanis put it all over the media, and there were some wonderful videos of the Sultan giving Netanyahu a tour of the palace and a choir of children who came and sang, and some other things that the Sultan liked to do when he had important guests.  And it was quite an interesting moment, and that was two years before. And that was not initiated by the United States. Unlike the Abraham Accords process, that was an Omani initiative, but again, other than the meeting itself, nothing really came of it. The Omanis took a lot of pride in what they had done, and then they backed away. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Instead, Marc points to the country with the largest Muslim population in the world: Indonesia – especially following recent remarks to the United Nations General Assembly by Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto. PRABOWO SUBIANTO: We must have an independent Palestine, but we must also recognize, we must also respect, and we must also guarantee the safety and security of Israel. Only then can we have real peace. Real peace and no longer hate and no longer suspicion. The only solution is the two-state solution. The descendants of Abraham must live in reconciliation, peace, and harmony. Arabs, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, all religions. We must live as one human family. Indonesia is committed to being part of making this vision a reality. MARC SIEVERS: We've heard that, you know, Indonesia needs some time to consider this, which makes a lot of sense. It's not something to be done lightly, and yet that would be a huge achievement. Obviously, Indonesia has never been a party to the conflict directly, but they also have never had relations with Israel, and they are the most populous Muslim country. Should that happen, it's a different kind of development than Saudi Arabia, but in some ways, it kind of internationalizes or broadens beyond the Middle East, the circle of peace. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: But in addition to adding signatories, Anne said AJC's Center for a New Middle East will work to strengthen the current relationships with countries that stayed committed during Israel's war against Hamas, despite public apprehensions. Anne recently traveled to Bahrain and the UAE with AJC's Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer Jason Isaacson, who has long led AJC's Middle East outreach. There, Anne discovered a significant slowdown in the momentum she witnessed when the Accords debuted. ANNE DREAZEN: I saw a real hesitancy during my travels in the region for politicians to publicly acknowledge and to publicly celebrate the Abraham Accords. They were much more likely to talk about peaceful coexistence and tolerance in what they characterize as a non-political way, meaning not tied to any sort of diplomatic agreements. So I saw that as a big impediment.  I do think that among the leadership of a lot of these countries, though, there is a sense that they have to be more pragmatic than ever before in trying to establish, in time to sustain the ceasefire, and establish a more enduring stability in the region. So there's a bit of a disconnect, I think, between where a lot of the publics lie on this issue.  But a lot of the political leaders recognize the importance of maintaining ties with Israel, and want to lay the groundwork for greater stability. We are very interested now in doing what we can as CNME, as the Center for New Middle East, to help rebuild those connections and help reinvigorate those relationships. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: This is especially the case in Bahrain, which has not seen the same economic dividends as the UAE. ANNE DREAZEN: Bahrain is a much smaller country than the UAE, and their key industries – they have less of a developed startup tech ecosystem than the UAE. And frankly, many of Bahrain's sectors don't overlap as neatly with some of Israel's emerging tech sectors, as is the case with the UAE. So, for example, Bahrain is very heavy on steel and aluminum manufacturing, on logistics. Manufacturing is a big part of the sector.  Israeli tech doesn't really, in general, provide that many jobs in that type of sector. Tourism is another area where Bahrain is trying to develop as a top priority. This obviously was really challenged during the Abraham Accords, especially when direct flights stopped over Gulf air. So tourism was not a natural one, especially after October 7.  Bahrain has really prioritized training their youth workforce to be able to take on jobs in IT and financial services, and this is one area we want to look into more and see what can be done. Bahrain is really prioritizing trying to build relationships in areas that can provide jobs to some of their youth. It is not as wealthy a country as the UAE, but it has a very educated young workforce. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Again, fulfilling dreams, giving youth an opportunity to contribute. That's the necessary narrative to make the Abraham Accords a success.  ALI RASHID AL NUAIMI: It's very important to focus on the youth, and how to create a narrative that will gain the heart and the mind of all youth in the region, the Israeli, the Palestinian, the Arabs, the Muslims. And this is where it is very important to counter hate that comes from both sides. Unfortunately, we still see some hate narratives that come from those far-right extremists who serve the extremists on the Arab side, taking advantage of what they are saying, what they are doing. From the beginning, I convey this message to many Israelis: please don't put the Palestinian people in one basket with Hamas, because if you do so, you will be saving Hamas. Hamas will take advantage of that.  This is where it's very important to show the Palestinian people that we care about them. You know, we see them as human beings. We want a better future for them. We want to end their suffering. We want them to fulfill their dream within the region, that where everybody will feel safe, will feel respected, and that we all will live as neighbors, caring about each other's security and peace.  We have to engage, have a dialogue, show others that we care about them, you see, and try to empower all those who believe in peace who believe that Israeli and Palestinian have to live together in peace and harmony. And it will take time, yes, but we don't have other options. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: But Dr. Al Nuaimi emphasizes that it can't be just a dialogue. It must be a conversation that includes the American voice. The UAE has been clear with the Israeli public on two occasions that attempts by Israel to unilaterally annex the West Bank would be a red line for the relationship between their two countries. But even as the five-year anniversary of the Abraham Accords approached, a milestone that should've been a reminder of the countries' mutual commitments, it took U.S. intervention for Israel to heed that warning. Anne Dreazen agrees that the U.S. plays an important role. She said Israel must continue to defend itself against threats. But in order to create a safe space for Israel in the long term, the U.S., the American Jewish community in particular, can help bridge connections and overcome cultural differences. That will keep the Accords moving in the right direction. ALI RASHID AL NUAIMI: I believe many Arab and Muslim leaders are eager to join it, but you know, they have to do their internal calculation within their people. We have to help them, not only us, but the Israelis. They are looking for a way, a path, to have them as neighbors, and to have a solution that the Palestinian will fulfill their dreams, but the Israeli also will be secure. I think having such a narrative that will take us to the next level by bringing other Arab countries and Muslim country to join the Abraham Accords. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Thank you for listening.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Jeffrey Rosen calls in to discuss his new book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. Rosen explains the enduring clash between Hamilton's vision of a strong federal government and powerful executive, and Jefferson's emphasis on states' rights and individual liberties.  Also, Phase two of the Gaza peace plan is highly complex involving numerous countries, governments, and figures like Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, and Dermer, who deserve credit for their efforts. However, Hamas, a terrorist group per its 1988 charter calling for Israel's destruction via jihad, establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia, rejection of negotiations, and anti-Semitic rhetoric, refuses to disarm or surrender, instead centralizing power by torturing and killing challengers among Palestinians. The world, including the UN, universities, and Hamas supporters, remains silent on Hamas's slaughter of fellow Palestinians. Qatar's Emir condemns Israel as committing genocide in Gaza, reaffirms support for Palestine without denouncing Hamas, while Turkey's Erdogan blocks Netanyahu from a regional meeting. Israel previously surrounded and nearly destroyed Hamas but withdrew for peace and international pressure; now, hesitant Arab/Muslim nations refuse troops in Gaza, leaving Israel and the IDF to eliminate Hamas for lasting peace.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Notes: Key Learnings The Mad Scientist Emotional Profile – High achievers typically have both high positive and high negative affect. "Hustlers, hard workers, strivers, entrepreneurs, ambitious people, they're in that quadrant of high positive, high negative affect." This creates intensity but requires management of negative emotions. Dangerous Negative Affect Management – People try to manage high negative affect through alcohol, excessive internet use/pornography, and workaholism. "The isms, the addictions, they're almost all negative affect management techniques." Two Best Ways to Manage Negative Affect: Faith, Spirituality, Philosophy - "Every day, go deep" into transcendent practices Physical Exercise - "Go pick up heavy things" - resistance training moderates negative emotions Arthur's 4:30 AM Protocol – Wakes at 4:30, works out 4:45-5:45, attends mass 6:30-7:00, then has high-protein breakfast with dark coffee at 7:45 for 4 hours of peak creative focus. "I get four hours of creative concentration with maximum dopamine." Exercise Reduces Unhappiness, Doesn't Create Happiness – "Working out hard... moderates negative affect. It makes you less unhappy" rather than directly increasing positive emotions. The Failure Journal Method – Write down failures/disappointments, return after 3 weeks to note learnings, return after 2 more months to identify good things that resulted. This installs learning in the prefrontal cortex rather than letting it "float around limbically." Early Success Can Be Dangerous – Scholars rejected for early research grants outperformed those with early success. "Much better is when you do the work and build yourself up... be a wholesaler before you become a retailer." Management Doesn't Provide Flow – "There's one kind of job where you don't get flow, and that's management... you're getting jerked from thing to thing to thing." Being CEO was "satisfying, but not enjoyable." Intelligence Must Serve Others – "Intelligence is just another gift... whether or not it makes you happier depends on whether or not you're using it to make other people happier." Denigrating others for lower intelligence indicates misusing your gift. The Arrival Fallacy – Olympic gold medalists often experience depression after winning because positive emotion comes from progress toward goals, not achieving them. "Your positive emotion doesn't exist to give you a permanent good day." Two Midlife Crisis Solutions: Focus on what age gives you rather than takes away Choose subtraction over addition - appreciate what you no longer have to do Making Changes Stick Requires Three Elements: Understand the science - Know why something works Change your habits - Actually implement different behaviors Teach it - Explain it to others to cement learning in the prefrontal cortex The Happiness Formula – "Use things, love people, worship the divine" instead of the natural impulses to "love things, use people, and worship yourself." Multi-generational Living Benefits – Arthur lives with adult children and grandchildren: "The research is clear that the closer you are to your grandchildren... the better it is for everybody." Quotes: "I get four hours of creative concentration with maximum dopamine in my prefrontal cortex... ordinarily I would get an hour and a half, two hours of real clarity." "The isms, the addictions, they're almost all negative affect management techniques." "Working out hard... makes you less unhappy. The research is very clear." "Being the boss isn't that fun. It just isn't." "I have carefully accounted for all of my days of happiness. They add up to 14." (Emir of Cordoba) "What's first prize in a pie eating contest? The answer is pie. So I hope you like pie." "Beware the corner office boys. Beware the corner office." "Use things, love people, worship the divine." "Watch one, do one, teach one." (Harvard Medical School) "Don't trust your impulses. Your impulses are to love things, use people, and worship yourself." Life Lessons Develop Daily Discipline Early - A Consistent morning routine with exercise and spiritual practice creates optimal brain chemistry for peak performance throughout the day. Manage High Achievement Personality - If you're a driven person, recognize you likely have high negative affect that needs healthy management through exercise and transcendent practices. Reframe Career Setbacks - Early failures often build stronger foundations than early successes. Use disappointments as learning opportunities through systematic reflection. Question Management Ambitions - Consider whether you enjoy management or just want the status/money. Management roles inherently provide less flow and enjoyment. Use Intelligence to Serve Others - Your cognitive gifts should lift others up, not put them down. Intelligence without service leads to unhappiness. Focus on Progress, Not Arrival - Derive satisfaction from forward momentum in meaningful work rather than achieving specific goals that won't provide lasting happiness. Embrace What Age Gives - In life transitions, focus on new capabilities and freedoms rather than what you're losing or leaving behind. Teach What You Learn - The most effective way to cement new habits and insights is to explain them to others. Teaching accelerates your own learning. Choose Subtraction - Happiness often comes from eliminating negative elements (bad meetings, toxic relationships) rather than adding more positive ones. Build Multi-Generational Relationships - Prioritize time with family across generations. The research strongly supports benefits for all parties. Exercise for Mental Health - View physical training as medication for negative emotions rather than just physical fitness. Cultivate Transcendent Practices - Whether religious, philosophical, or spiritual, daily engagement with something larger than yourself moderates negative emotions and provides meaning.
