Podcasts about Mahmoud Abbas

During the Palestinian people's darkest hour since 1948, as Israel seeks to displace Gazans and potentially annex the West Bank, the Palestinian leadership is absent. The Palestinian Authority is still around, and its president, Mahmoud Abbas, 89, has been in charge without an election for 20 years. However, the authority, which was established in 1994 and was supposed to be temporary, appears irrelevant and powerless. In this episode, Omar Rahman of the Middle East Council on Global Affairs breaks down the Palestinian Authority's many failings when its leadership is needed more than ever.

C'est du moins l'expression utilisée par Le Temps à Genève. « Les trois États du Golfe qui accueilleront Donald Trump pour sa première tournée présidentielle, à partir d'aujourd'hui, vont faire office de Rois mages. Arabie saoudite, Qatar et Émirats arabes unis attendent le président américain les bras chargés de cadeaux. 600 milliards de dollars pour l'Arabie saoudite, pratiquement autant pour le Qatar, et plus du double promis par les Émirats arabes unis : en guise de signe de bénédiction de son deuxième mandat, le président Trump entend revenir aux États-Unis auréolé des largesses provenant des fonds souverains de ces pays, parmi les plus riches de la planète comparativement au nombre d'habitants ».« Un deal est un deal »« Faire des affaires, pas la guerre, relève Le Monde à Paris. L'ambition de Donald Trump peut se résumer ainsi, à l'heure de sa première tournée à l'étranger depuis son investiture, en janvier ».« Trump cherche avant tout des deals », insiste Le Soir à Bruxelles. « Quitte à confondre voyage diplomatique et business trip dans le Golfe. Sachant qu'il n'obtiendra probablement rien à court terme, ni de la Russie, ni d'Israël sur une paix, ni de l'Arabie saoudite, ni de l'Iran sur les dossiers de la normalisation avec Israël et du nucléaire, Trump pourrait détourner l'attention avec des contrats affichant un nombre de zéros à n'en plus finir. Car dans la vision du monde transactionnelle du président américain, peu importe s'il s'agit de paix ou de pétrodollars : un deal est un deal ».Le Figaro à Paris précise : « des investissements massifs aux États-Unis, des contrats d'armement ou aéronautiques, ou des accords sur l'intelligence artificielle, les cryptomonnaies ou les métaux rares pourraient être proclamés, permettant à Trump d'afficher des succès commerciaux. La Maison-Blanche dit espérer obtenir mille milliards de dollars de contrats et d'investissements ».Israël en berne…« Un pays suivra d'un mauvais œil cette visite, relève pour sa part La Croix : Israël. Contrairement à 2017, l'État hébreu n'est pas sur la feuille de voyage de Trump (…). Galvanisé initialement par ses annonces sur la “Riviera“ et le “déplacement“ des Gazaouis, Benyamin Netanyahu redoute désormais les déclarations de son imprévisible partenaire. Ce dernier pourrait-il soutenir le plan arabe pour Gaza, porté par l'Égypte, la Jordanie et la France ? Ou bien lâcher le Premier ministre israélien et imposer un règlement politique pour l'enclave ? Les supputations vont bon train dans les médias arabes et israéliens. Mais la séquence contrarie déjà l'État hébreu, remarque encore La Croix : non seulement Donald Trump va être pressé par ses alliés du Golfe de conclure un accord avec l'Iran sur le nucléaire, mais il devrait aussi rencontrer lors de sa tournée trois des ennemis jurés d'Israël : le président palestinien Mahmoud Abbas, le Syrien Ahmed Al Charaa et le Libanais Joseph Aoun ».Un cadeau somptueux…Mais le sujet qui accapare l'attention de la presse américaine c'est l'avion d'une valeur de 400 millions de dollars que le Qatar a l'intention de mettre à disposition de Donald Trump…« Ce don potentiel soulève de grandes inquiétudes, pointe le Washington Post, non seulement en matière de sécurité, mais aussi de corruption et d'abus de confiance. On a là un président qui, au cours de la première année de son mandat de quatre ans, accepte un cadeau historique et extraordinairement coûteux de la part d'un gouvernement étranger qui a de nombreux intérêts dans les actions de son administration ».Qui plus est, poursuit le Washington Post, « cet avion pourrait apparemment être affecté ultérieurement à l'usage personnel de Donald Trump, bien que ce dernier ait déclaré hier qu'il ne l'utiliserait pas. Certains experts affirment que cela violerait clairement la clause “émoluments“ de la Constitution ».Des contrats juteux pour la famille Trump…Dans le même temps, le New York Times soulève un autre lièvre… Des contrats mirifiques pour la famille Trump… « Les deux fils aînés du président se sont en effet lancés récemment dans une série de contrats juteux en capitalisant sur le nom et le pouvoir de leur père, chacun essayant apparemment de surpasser l'autre. On parle là de milliards de dollars », s'exclame le New York Times qui précise : « un hôtel de luxe à Dubaï. Une deuxième tour résidentielle haut de gamme à Djeddah, en Arabie saoudite. Deux entreprises de cryptomonnaies basées aux États-Unis. Un nouveau parcours de golf et un complexe de villas au Qatar. Et un nouveau club privé à Washington. Dans bien des cas, pointe le journal, ces nouvelles transactions promues la semaine dernière bénéficieront non seulement à Eric et Donald Jr., mais aussi au président Trump lui-même ».

In this spirited roundtable episode of The Liberty Den, a colorful cast of Badlands Media hosts reunites for a wide-ranging, off-the-rails Friday night. The crew dives headfirst into geopolitical fireworks, dissecting reports of Trump's upcoming recognition of a Palestinian state and a possible Saudi nuclear deal, moves that could reshape the Middle East and silence critics who long accused him of being controlled by Israel. Ghost breaks down the historical promise Trump made to Mahmoud Abbas in 2017 and why this move would be the ultimate dealmaker's full-circle moment. The conversation shifts to domestic chaos, including the viral backlash against Dr. Casey Means, Trump's new pick for Surgeon General. Ash and the crew tear apart the credential-obsessed critics, arguing that rejecting allopathic doctrine is a badge of honor, not a disqualifier. Meanwhile, the hosts joke about a potential "GART Gaza" summit and debate the merits (and dangers) of Badlands-themed cruise events. Later, they tackle Vatican politics, celebrity-worship culture in D.C., and the corrupt foundations of modern religion. A passionate discussion unfolds about Trump's strategic manipulations, how people misinterpret his endorsements, and why emotional intelligence, not blind loyalty, is key to understanding his moves. From dark humor and brutal honesty to spiritual reflection and political fire, this is Liberty Den at its finest, equal parts late-night comedy, geopolitical warfare, and grassroots therapy.

L'émission 28 minutes du 26/04/2025 Ce samedi, Renaud Dély décrypte l'actualité avec le regard international de nos clubistes : Isabelle Durant, experte en droit au développement au Conseil des Droits de l'Homme ; Maya Khadra, enseignante et journaliste franco-libanaise ; Daniel Borrillo, juriste, enseignant à l'Université Paris Nanterre et la dessinatrice de presse Dorthe Landschulz.L'engagement politique de Musk nuit à son entreprise : le prix à payer ?Elon Musk a annoncé qu'il comptait réduire son implication au sein du DOGE, le département de l'efficacité gouvernementale de l'administration Trump, à partir du mois de mai. Il y avait été nommé par le président américain après son investiture avec un objectif : réduire drastiquement le budget du gouvernement fédéral en faisant 2 000 milliards de dollars d'économie. Désormais, le patron de Tesla ne consacrera plus que 40 % de son temps à ses activités politiques. Ce changement de stratégie s'analyse au regard des mauvais résultats de son entreprise. Le groupe a annoncé une chute de ses bénéfices de près de 71 % au premier trimestre 2025.Les Palestiniens pourraient-ils chasser le Hamas ?Mercredi 23 avril, Mahmoud Abbas, le président de l'Autorité palestinienne, a exhorté le Hamas à libérer les otages israéliens encore retenus dans la bande de Gaza. Ce dernier a estimé que le mouvement islamiste et nationaliste palestinien avait fourni à Israël “des prétextes pour commettre ses crimes dans la bande de Gaza, le plus flagrant étant la détention d'otages”. Ces dernières semaines, la colère d'une partie des Gazaouis contre le Hamas se fait de plus en plus visible : des manifestations se sont déroulées dans les rues, malgré la reprise des bombardements et de l'offensive israélienne. L'Autorité palestinienne, largement discréditée en Cisjordanie, peut- elle reprendre les rênes à Gaza ?Direction l'île de Socotra, au large du Yémen, avec le journaliste Quentin Müller. Un archipel fascinant et secret qu'il a découvert lors d'une enquête sur l'ingérence des pays voisins et qu'il dépeint dans son dernier livre, "L'Arbre et la tempête : Socotra, l'île oubliée" (éditions Marchialy). Au-delà de ses forêts d'arbres à la sève rouge, vieux de vingt millions d'années, Socotra représente un enjeu géopolitique sur la carte d'une région à feu et à sang.Valérie Brochard rend visite à nos voisins néerlandais où la création des "Grands Pays-Bas" fait débat. L'idée émise par Martin Bosma, le président de la Chambre des représentants néerlandaise et membre du parti d'extrême droite PVV, serait de rattacher la Flandre belge au territoire. La Wallonie francophone serait ainsi destinée à rejoindre la France.Olivier Boucreux décerne le titre d'employé de la semaine à Kevin Farrell qui devient, pendant un mois, l'intérimaire le plus important du monde. Camerlingue au Vatican, il est responsable de l'organisation des obsèques du pape François et de la période de transition jusqu'à l'élection d'un successeur par le conclave.Jean-Mathieu Pernin zappe sur les débats télévisés entre les dirigeants des différents partis politiques au Canada, à l'approche des élections législatives du 28 avril. Les menaces d'annexion de Donald Trump se sont notamment invitées dans la campagne et pèsent considérablement dans les intentions de vote des électeurs."Olé osé", le nouvel album de chansons paillardes de Patrick Sébastien, cartonne sur les plateformes de streaming. Paola Puerari se demande donc : pourquoi les gauloiseries nous amusent-elles autant ?Enfin, ne manquez pas la question très intéressante de David Castello-Lopes : les animaux peuvent-ils nous avertir des séismes à venir ?28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   We begin at the southern border, where Trump's immigration crackdown is pressuring Mexican cartels to shift tactics—some now targeting Americans in alarming new ways.   Then, a deadly terror attack in Indian-administered Kashmir leaves dozens dead. A known militant group has claimed responsibility, and Indian forces are already responding with major force.   Plus, Hamas signals willingness to release hostages under a new truce proposal—but the Palestinian Authority isn't buying it. President Mahmoud Abbas publicly blasts the group and demands they disarm.   And in today's Back of the Brief: The Trump administration files the first-ever RICO charges against members of the violent migrant gang Tren de Aragua, signaling a new phase in the crackdown on transnational criminal organizations.   To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

O Presidente francês, Emmanuel Macron, anunciou recentemente que a França tenciona reconhecer a Palestina como Estado, em Junho deste ano, numa conferência de dois dias da ONU, juntamente com a Arábia Saudita, em Nova Iorque. Emmanuel Macron sublinhou que este reconhecimento permitirá à França "ser clara na luta contra aqueles que negam o direito de Israel existir". O Primeiro-Ministro israelita, Benjamin Netanyahu, durante uma conversa telefónica com o chefe de Estado francês, defendeu que o estabelecimento de um Estado palestiniano seria uma "recompensa para o terrorismo". O jornalista e escritor Rui Neumann defende que a criação de dois Estados é a solução para o conflito, porém admite que Emmanuel Macron procura um palco na cena da política internacional. O Presidente francês, Emmanuel Macron, anunciou recentemente que a França tenciona reconhecer a Palestina como Estado, em Junho deste ano, numa conferência de dois dias da ONU, juntamente com a Arábia Saudita, em Nova Iorque. Que mensagem quer enviar Emmanuel Macron à comunidade internacional com este posicionamento?A política externa de Emmanuel Macron tem sofrido reveses enormes, nomeadamente no Sahel, mas também na Argélia. A França também não conseguiu obter qualquer resultado na mediação do conflito da Ucrânia com a Rússia.Emmanuel Macron está à procura de protagonismo?Emmanuel Macron tenta ter o seu palco na cena política internacional, e aqui será mais um desses casos. Avança com a possibilidade de a França reconhecer o Estado palestiniano em Junho próximo, num encontro que terá com a Arábia Saudita, em Nova Iorque, mas não apresenta modalidades concretas das condições para que o Estado palestiniano deva existir. Ainda persiste a dúvida sobre se se trata de um reconhecimento simbólico ou de um reconhecimento político.O chefe de Estado francês afirma que este reconhecimento permitirá à França "ser clara na luta contra aqueles que negam o direito de Israel existir"...Entre os 148 países que, neste momento, já reconhecem o Estado da Palestina, muitos deles não reconhecem o Estado de Israel. Portanto, não se trata unicamente dos países árabes. Não acredito que o Irão venha a reconhecer o Estado de Israel e, quanto aos países árabes, a Argélia — que apoia incondicionalmente a causa palestiniana — também dificilmente mudará de posição. Portanto, digamos, há aqui uma narrativa de Emmanuel Macron que dificilmente será aplicável.Emmanuel Macron propõe ainda que o Hamas deve ser afastado de Gaza e que a Autoridade Palestiniana deve ser reformada. Não há uma posição concreta?Não, é utópica. O Hamas nunca aceitará que lhe retirem, enquanto organização, a vertente armada. Por outro lado, o grande problema da Autoridade Palestiniana, liderada por Mahmoud Abbas, é a falta de credibilidade e de aceitação junto dos próprios palestinianos. Desde o ataque terrorista de 7 de Outubro de 2023, o Hamas ganhou popularidade e quase ultrapassou a Autoridade Palestiniana.Mas não é a essa situação que se refere Emmanuel Macron quando propõe que a Autoridade Palestiniana deve ser reformada?Emmanuel Macron, numa conversa que teve recentemente com Mahmoud Abbas, disse que era necessário afastar completamente o Hamas e reformar a Autoridade Palestiniana. Porém, a reforma começa logo com um problema: o próprio Mahmoud Abbas, que não está disposto a ceder o poder da Autoridade Palestiniana. Depois, há também outros problemas estruturais, desde a corrupção à desorganização interna, com os palestinianos a não verem a Autoridade Palestiniana como um espelho das suas próprias necessidades. Portanto, tem de haver uma remodelação completa desta Autoridade. Mas não é com o reconhecimento do Estado da Palestina que as coisas vão avançar. É aí que se insere o reconhecimento que Emmanuel Macron diz que poderá acontecer por parte da França.O Primeiro-Ministro israelita, Benjamin Netanyahu, acusou Emmanuel Macron de cometer um grave erro ao promover o Estado da Palestina. Está cada vez mais longe a hipótese da criação de dois Estados?Não. A criação de dois Estados é a única solução para a resolução do problema. Mas é preciso escolher o momento certo para fazer os anúncios certos, e neste momento há uma guerra em curso. Israel continua a atacar o Hamas em Gaza desde os massacres de Outubro. Antes da criação do Estado palestiniano, é preciso encontrar pontos de concordância em questões fundamentais.Uma delas é a continuidade territorial, ou seja, de um Estado palestiniano. Terá de existir uma continuidade territorial de Gaza para a Cisjordânia. Mas esta continuidade deve existir de Gaza para a Cisjordânia e Israel perderá a sua continuidade territorial. Ou seja, a região do Negueve ficará separada do resto do país.Outra questão é o complexo problema da definição do estatuto de Jerusalém. Jerusalém será capital do Estado de Israel e do Estado da Palestina? Vamos regressar à configuração existente quando a Jordânia ocupava a Cisjordânia, até 1967? Há ainda outra questão: a definição das fronteiras. Houve aqui uma mutação com as implantações israelitas na Cisjordânia, que se multiplicaram e estão sempre num processo avançado, apesar das críticas da ONU e da oposição israelita ao governo de Benjamin Netanyahu.Benjamin Netanyahu é o homem que Israel precisa para representar o país nestas negociações?Os israelitas já não se revêem neste Primeiro-Ministro. Benjamin Netanyahu está envolvido em vários escândalos; acresce ainda a contestada reforma do sistema judicial e a crise económica em que Israel mergulhou.Se a França reconhecer, em Junho, o Estado da Palestina, este reconhecimento pode levar outros países a fazer o mesmo?Pessoalmente, não acredito. Acredito que Emmanuel Macron tem essa intenção, mas não creio que isso vá alterar a posição de outros países. Há países que já reconhecem o Estado da Palestina, mas o importante é perceber o que representa esse reconhecimento para a criação efectiva do Estado palestiniano. Poucos sabem responder a esta pergunta, uma vez que a Palestina, neste momento, já é membro observador da ONU e está presente em várias agências da organização.Agora, como é que os próprios palestinianos vêem este reconhecimento? Não lhes confere uma independência de facto. Há um reconhecimento formal do Estado, mas não há uma alteração concreta do estatuto dos palestinianos.Tanto que apenas uma minoria dos palestinianos defende a solução de dois Estados, tal como uma minoria dos israelitas a defende, desde o ataque de 7 de Outubro.Antes dos reconhecimentos, deveria existir uma preparação para a existência do Estado palestiniano que, neste momento, em termos administrativos, estruturais, democráticos e de liberdades individuais, ainda não existe — nem no governo que está na Cisjordânia, muito menos com a autoridade do Hamas em Gaza.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's Daily Briefing. Children across the Diaspora came to school wearing Batman costumes in honor of the slain Bibas boys, Kfir and Ariel. And last night, thousands came to Tel Aviv's Hostages Square for the Purim eve reading of the Book of Esther. The gathering, which includes Israelis from different communities, sectors and denominations, included a call for the return of the 59 remaining hostages in one release. But that doesn’t appear to be the proposal on the table, currently. We discuss reports out of Doha, which indicate a revision to a previously suggested proposal from US envoy Steve Witkoff of 10 living hostages for 60 days of ceasefire. What is the new outline to extend the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and how are Israel -- and Hamas -- responding to it? Mahmoud Abbas may be the last Palestinian leader who believes in a two-state solution and opposes violence as a means for bringing it about, a potential successor to the PA president, Jibril Rajoub, told Magid in a recent interview. So what’s the alternative? Please see today's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Tessa Szyszkowitz in conversation with Amir TibonDIE TORE VON GAZAAmir Tibon survived October 7th with his wife and two small daughters in the shelter of their home at kibbuz Nahal Oz, very close to the Gazastrip. His book „The Gates of Gaza/ Die Tore von Gaza“ is not only telling the story of that terrible day on the basis of many interviews with survivors. As the Diplomatic Correspondent of the Israeli daily Ha'aretz Tibon is looking also at the bigger picture. He narrates the history of the Kibbuz from its beginnings, but he also sees October 7th as a huge failure by the Israeli government, to keep the Israeli population safe: „If Israelis in the communities near Gaza are not safe, is anyone in Israel ever safe?“, he asked in an interview with the Austrian Weekly Falter. In an editorial in Ha'aretz Tibon assessed at the beginning of 2025, what impact the newly returned US-President Donald Trump could have on the Middle East conflict: „The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was a direct result of 9/11, and Israel's war in Gaza was born out of October 7. However, over time, both wars reached the point of bloody stalemate without a clear political horizon, fought simply for the purpose of fighting and not in service of any declared goals.“ Can Trump end the war in Gaza as he has promised?Amir Tibon will discuss his book and the chances for an end to Israel's wars in conversation with Tessa Syzsykowitz at Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue.   Amir Tibon is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz, Israel's paper of record, and the author of The Last Palestinian: the rise and reign of Mahmoud Abbas (co-authored with Grant Rumley), the first-ever biography of the leader of the Palestinian Authority. From 2017–2020, Tibon was based in Washington, DC, as a foreign correspondent for Haaretz, and he also has served as a senior editor for the newspaper's English edition. He, his wife, and their two young daughters are former residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz but are currently living as internal refugees in northern Israel.Tessa Szyszkowitz is an Austrian journalist and author. A UK correspondent for Austrian and German publications such as Falter or Tagesspiegel, she curates Philoxenia at Kreiskyforum and she is a Distinguished Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute in London.

C dans l'air du 5 février 2025 - Après le Canada, le canal du Panama, le Groenland... Trump veut Gaza !À l'occasion de la visite du Premier ministre israélien Benyamin Nétanyahu à Washington, Donald Trump a déclaré mardi soir que les États-Unis allaient "prendre le contrôle à long terme" de l'enclave palestinienne et la vider de ses habitants. "Tous", a réaffirmé Donald Trump. "Je veux dire, nous parlons probablement d'un million sept cent mille personnes, un million sept, peut-être un million huit. Mais je pense qu'ils devraient tous partir. Je pense qu'ils seront réinstallés dans des endroits où ils pourront mener une vie meilleure et ne plus avoir à craindre de mourir chaque jour". Le président américain qui s'est dit prêt à envoyer des soldats américains a assuré que la Jordanie et l'Egypte finiront par accepter d'accueillir des réfugiés palestiniens, malgré l'opposition de ces pays ainsi que des Palestiniens eux-mêmes. Reprenant ses habits de magnat de l'immobilier, Donald Trump s'est aussi engagé à faire de ce territoire la "Côte d'Azur du Moyen-Orient".Mais ce n'est pas tout. Questionné par la journaliste de NBC News Kelly O'Donnell, le président américain a déclaré qu'il envisageait également d'expulser les Palestiniens de la Cisjordanie et d'attribuer ce territoire à Israël. "Nous en discutons", a-t-il affirmé, au sujet de la volonté de Benyamin Nétanyahu et de ses alliés d'extrême droite de prendre le contrôle de la "Judée et Samarie" bibliques, qui incluent la Cisjordanie contrôlée par l'Autorité Palestinienne. "Les gens aiment cette idée", a-t-il ajouté, promettant une annonce "sur ce sujet très spécifique dans les quatre prochaines semaines". À ses côtés, le Premier ministre israélien a salué une proposition du président américain qui pourrait "changer l'Histoire".Des propos du nouveau locataire de la Maison-Blanche fustigés en masse à travers le monde ce mercredi. Le Hamas a dénoncé la "position raciste américaine" alignée sur "l'extrême droite israélienne" visant à "éradiquer la cause palestinienne". "Nous ne permettrons pas que soient bafoués les droits de notre peuple", a-t-il déclaré de son côté le président palestinien Mahmoud Abbas.Les déclarations de Donald Trump sont "probablement dangereuses pour la stabilité et pour le processus de paix" a affirmé la porte-parole du gouvernement Sophie Primas. "La France est opposée pleinement aux déplacements des populations", a-t-elle ajouté. L'avenir de Gaza passe par "un futur État palestinien" et non par le contrôle "d'un pays tiers", avait commenté plus tôt la diplomatie française, soulignant que le déplacement forcé de la population palestinienne de la bande de Gaza constituerait une "violation grave du droit international". Gaza "appartient aux Palestiniens", a appuyé pour sa part Berlin. Ils doivent pouvoir "vivre et prospérer" dans la bande de Gaza et en Cisjordanie, a estimé le chef de la diplomatie britannique, David Lammy.L'Arabie saoudite a redit, de son côté, qu'elle ne ferait pas la paix avec Israël sans la création d'un État palestinien et s'est opposée au déplacement de la population. Le sénateur américain Chris Van Hollen, démocrate membre de la commission des relations étrangères, s'est montré plus direct, qualifiant la proposition de Trump de "nettoyage ethnique sous un autre nom".Alors Donald Trump est-il sérieux ? Quel est son plan pour Gaza ? De l'enclave palestinienne à l'Iran, quels sont ses desseins au Moyen-Orient ? Enfin quels sont les contours du "deal" au parfum de terres rares en discussion entre Donald Trump et Volodymir Zelensky ? Et quelle est la situation sur le front ukrainien ?

What has Hamas achieved after 15 months of war with Israel?With the assassination of two of its most senior leaders, and the devastating human toll in Gaza, the future of Hamas appears uncertain.But the scenes of its militia re-emerging hours after the ceasefire sent a message of defiance.The scenes outraged an Israeli public, who were told that  victory would only come after the complete destruction of Hamas.While the world prays for an end to the violence in Gaza, Hamas' senior leaders say a new chapter of their fight against Israel is expected - this time in the West Bank.As settler-led violence and Israeli military raids on Palestinian villages reach historic levels, many have lost hope that the Palestinian Authority and its president Mahmoud Abbas can do anything to protect Palestinians from another all-out war.Instead, the lure of armed resistance championed by Hamas has influenced a generation of disillusioned and angry young Palestinians, who've given up hope that diplomacy offers them any future.This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we speak with senior Hamas official Basem Naim, who is a former health minister in Gaza and now part of the group's political bureau. Naim believes that Gaza was only the first chapter in the war, and that the next will be more complicated and ultimately more devastating.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Who is Marwan Barghouti? Why is he nicknamed “Palestine's Mandela”? And why does Israel see him as such a big threat, even behind bars, that it is adamantly refusing to release him as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal?This week on Mehdi Unfiltered, Mehdi goes on a deep dive into Barghouti's life, his activism, and most importantly, all the red flags around his trial and imprisonment by Israel.Barghouti's story, like that of most Palestinians, is a mix of struggle and hope. The former Fatah official, the political party currently led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, is the most popular leader among Palestinians today. And while 89-year-old Abbas sets a low bar for competition, Mehdi explains what makes Barghouti still so popular after decades of imprisonment - and such a threat to both Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas.It is rare for any Palestinian to see an inkling of justice in Israel's military courts. Red flag after red flag, Mehdi details everything that went wrong in Barghouti's trial, from torture to international law violations to a judge with a grudge, because there is no statute of limitations on injustice, especially when its victims continue to pay the price for it.“My father used to always tell me that hope is sometimes a privilege, and being hopeless is a privilege that we can't have as Palestinians.”Also, Marwan Barghouti's son, Arab Barghouthi, joins Mehdi to discuss the latest on his father's condition, his health after decades behind bars, and whether prison changed him from the leader he was.“I don't think so,” Arab refutes, “I have my trust in God first and in my father, because he is someone who has been through a lot in his life.” Despite his hope, Arab is also well aware of his father's difficult conditions in prison, especially since the October 7 attack.“The head of Ofer prison came to him and in front of other prisoners, he asked him to put his hands behind his back and to kneel, to try to tell the other prisoners that if I can humiliate your leader, I can humiliate you all, which he refused. So they forced him to do it, which got his shoulder dislocated,” Arab recounts, adding that many more torture techniques were used against his father including solitary confinement and sleep deprivation.Watch the full interview above to find out why Marwan Barghouti's case should have never reached Israeli courts, and if Arab believes Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas would actually support his father's release in 2025.If you liked this episode of Mehdi Unfiltered, do consider becoming a paid subscriber today and let us know who you'd like to see on our show next!

Over the past 12 months, The CJN team has produced more than 700 podcast episodes, news stories, opinion pieces and foreign dispatches. The overwhelming theme has been the reverberation of Oct. 7: firebombed synagogues, gunshots at schools, anti-Zionist campus encampments, cancelled Jewish artists, a crackdown on Jewish charities—and more. But we always make sure our coverage balances heartache and hope. Throughout the year, we've also reported on the powerful resurgence of Jewish pride and engagement in Canada's spiritual and communal life—increased numbers of Jewish conversions, secular artists embracing their Jewish identities, solidarity across political lines—which gives us a cause for optimism, even while tense conversations about the Israel-Hamas war continue dividing families, colleagues and civil society at large. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, host Ellin Bessner assembles a team of CJN reporters from across the country to weigh in on the most talked-about stories of the past year and predict what we might expect in 2025. You'll hear from news editor Lila Sarick; Quebec correspondent Joel Ceausu; Western Canada correspondent Sam Margolis in Victoria, B.C.; staff reporter Jonathan Rothman, who covers Toronto city hall and culture pieces; Local Journalism Initiative reporter Mitch Consky, whose beat is campus life and education; and the producer of this very podcast, Zachary Kauffman. What we talked about: Read more about Indigo Books winning legal action to block the BDS movement's effort to boycott the retailer, in The CJN. Hear the interviews with Anthony Housefather about his decision to stay in the Liberal Party, and also our interview with Ya'ara Saks on her choice to meet with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, both on The CJN Daily.

US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken is jumping through hoops on his 11th Middle East tour in the past year. As he attempts to revive the stalled Gaza ceasefire talks and secure agreement on post-war arrangements in the Strip, Mr. Blinken is discovering that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may not be the only party pooper. So is Mahmoud Abbas, the internationally recognised, West Bank-based Palestinian president. Mr. Blinken is touting a United Arab Emirates proposal for the administration of Gaza once a ceasefire has been achieved. The proposal was crafted with input from Israel but not the Palestinians. That's where the rub starts.

WATCH THE CONVERSATION ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/DfZZbwMuSe0  As we arrive at the grim one-year anniversary of 10/07, we are featuring a dedicated series in which we take a longer horizon perspective, asking one guest each week to look back at this past year and the year ahead. If you are listening to this episode on a podcast app, please note that this episode was filmed before a live audience and is also available in video form on our YouTube channel.  For the fourth installment of this special series, we sat down with Amir Tibon, who is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz and the author of the newly released book: “The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands.” You can order Amir's new book here: https://tinyurl.com/4khzaxab Amir is also the author of“The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas” (co-authored with Grant Rumley), the first-ever biography of the president of the Palestinian Authority.  From 2017-2020, Amir was based in Washington, DC as a foreign correspondent for Haaretz, and he also has served as a senior editor for the newspaper's English edition. He, his wife, and their two young daughters are former residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz but are currently living as internal refugees in northern Israel. His book tells the harrowing story of his family's experience on October 7th as well as the history of Israel's Gaza Envelope communities and of the Gaza Strip.  Finally, we have received a number of requests for recommendations of organizations in Israel to donate to on this one-year anniversary of 10/07. There are so many organizations doing important work to help Israelis rebuild from the events of the last year — and the ongoing war. This list is by no means comprehensive. It is simply  an opportunity to highlight four groups whose work has moved us and who deserve additional support (we will add additional recommendations in the days ahead): -IDF Widows & Orphans Organization (IDFWO), an Israeli non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the spouses and children of Israel's fallen heroes. They provide emotional care, financial assistance, educational opportunities, and a community for those affected most by Israel's wars. — https://www.idfwo.org/en/ -Since October 8, Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets, anti-tank missiles, and explosive UAVs at Israeli civilian and military targets in the north. As worries mount, Rambam Medical Center has cared for the wounded and prepared for war. This 1,100-bed medical center in Haifa has transferred its critical medical care to an underground emergency hospital. Rambam's underground hospital – capable of housing 8,000 people — will play a critical role going forward in treating wounded soldiers and civilians; protecting and caring for the needs of medical staff and their families; and protecting and caring for the residents of Israel's Northern Region. — https://aforam.org/   -Leket Israel, Israel's largest food rescue operation, is committed to leading the safe, effective and efficient collection and distribution of surplus nutritious food in Israel to those who need it. To pick just one inspiring example: since October 7th, Leket has committed itself to providing healthy food to the 250,000 displaced Israelis, many of whom have been residing in hotels for the last year. Leket has installed produce stands in hotels across Israel, providing evacuees with a consistent supply of fresh fruit and vegetables, free of charge, which Leket purchases from struggling Israeli growers. — https://www.leket.org/en/  -Kav L'noar's therapy services have provided essential psychological support to communities in the South directly impacted by the war and the October 7th massacre. Their therapeutic interventions are tailored to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges faced by individuals affected by the war, empowering survivors to navigate the aftermath, rebuild resilience, and foster a sense of collective strength. — https://www.kavlnoar.org/israelatwar

In this episode of Mid Atlantic, host Roifield Brown engages in a profound discussion with Mouin Rabbani, a renowned expert on Middle Eastern affairs, focusing on the Palestinian struggle and its intricate position within the evolving dynamics of the Middle East. Rabbani offers a comprehensive analysis of Israel's intensified military actions in Gaza and the broader regional implications, highlighting the potential for an all-out regional war involving various actors like Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran.Rabbani sheds light on the complexities within the Palestinian political landscape, particularly the disintegration of Fatah and the weakening of Mahmoud Abbas's leadership. He argues that this internal division has hindered the Palestinian cause on the global stage, leaving a void where a strong, unified voice could have garnered more substantial international support.The conversation also touches on the critical role of international diplomacy, especially the impact of U.S. politics on the Middle East. Rabbani suggests that while U.S. support for Israel remains unwavering, the political landscape is slowly shifting, with growing public and political scrutiny of Israel's actions. The episode concludes with a sobering reflection on the future of the Palestinian state, acknowledging the immense challenges ahead but also hinting at the possibility of a turning point in the ongoing struggle for sovereignty.Key Quotes:"Israel has transformed itself into a rogue state, a pariah state, a genocidal regime in the eyes of much of Western public opinion.""The disintegration of Fatah has left the Palestinian cause without a strong, unified voice on the global stage.""We may now be closer to the beginning of the end than we were a year ago, but this struggle requires time, organization, and commitment.""Mahmoud Abbas's leadership has become a significant obstacle to Palestinian national unity.""Biden's unconditional support for Israel has reached a level of fanatic devotion, surpassing even his predecessors."Further Reading:Jadaliyya: For more in-depth analysis and writings by Mouin Rabbani.Feel free to explore these resources for a deeper understanding of the issues discussed in this Hosted on Acast.

All one needs to do to understand the true intentions of the Western-backed Palestinian Authority and its octogenarian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, is listening to what they say publicly.And, yet, the Biden administration, as well as the Israeli left, continue to tell the public to not believe their lying eyes—or ears, in this case.In this episode of “In-Focus,” JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick discusses how the left simply ignores reality when it comes to the P.A. and how doing so actually pulls the region into further turmoil.Stay informed about Israel and the Jewish world!Latest news: Get in-depth analysis at https://bit.ly/jewish_news_serviceSubscribe for more: Never miss a story - sign up for our newsletter: https://bit.ly/subscribe_to_JNSSupport our work: Your donation helps JNS fight for accurate headlines: https://bit.ly/Support_JNS

Israelis are stuck in a tense holding pattern, each day waiting for a response from Iran, or Hezbollah, or both - an attack that was expected to occur last week, then later forecasted to occur over Tisha B'Av. And yet, each day… nothing. What is going on — in Tehran? In Jerusalem? And in Washington D.C.? At the same time, there is a similar pattern in the hostage negotiations. Today, senior officials from Israel, the U.S., Qatar and Egypt met in Doha to resume negotiations for a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal - talks, as we are learning, that will continue into tomorrow. Israel seems to be on the brink of major developments - and yet, Israelis are left questioning: when will they occur? And against that backdrop: is Israel on offense, or is Israel on defense? To help us assess all of this from a broader strategic perspective, our guest is Dr. Jonathan Schanzer, who is senior vice president for research at Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Jon previously worked as a terrorism finance analyst at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where he played an integral role in the designation of numerous terrorist financiers. Jon's latest book is "Gaza Conflict 2021: Hamas, Israel and Eleven Days of War". His other books include: "State of Failure: Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and the Unmaking of the Palestinian State", and "Hamas vs. Fatah: The Struggle for Palestine". Jonathan has studied Middle East history in four countries. He earned his PhD from King's College London, where he wrote his dissertation on the U.S. Congress and its efforts to combat terrorism in the 20th century. He speaks Arabic and Hebrew.

*) Haniyeh's assassination aimed at prolonging Gaza war: Abbas Palestine's President Mahmoud Abbas has told Russia's state media that the killing of Hamas politburo leader Ismail Haniyeh aims to prolong the war in besieged Gaza and complicate peace talks. He said: “There is no doubt that the purpose of Mr. Haniyeh's assassination is to prolong the war and expand its scope.” He went on to say that Israel's conduct “will have a negative impact on the ongoing negotiations to end the aggression and withdraw Israeli troops from Gaza”. *) Bangladesh protesters call for new govt under Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus The Bangladeshi students who led the protests which toppled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government want a new interim government with Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus as its leader. They have warned that any government other than the one protesters have asked for would not be accepted. Yunus has agreed to take on this responsibility. *) Israel fails to recruit hundreds of Ultra-Orthodox Jews for Gaza genocide Tel Aviv continues to struggle with the headache of enlisting orthodox Jews into its military, which is fighting a never-ending war with Hamas in Gaza. The Israeli military has once again failed to register hundreds of Haredi Jews for military service. The Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported that only 30 Haredi Jews appeared at the conscription office, despite 1,000 being scheduled to register on Monday and Tuesday. *) Several countries issue UK travel advisory amid far-right violence Some would say that the UK is getting to taste its own medicine as another country has warned its citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to the UK amid violent far-right riots. Nigeria has joined Malaysia and Australia in issuing travel advisories for the UK. The UK is experiencing its worst wave of riots in 13 years, with far-right demonstrators targeting asylum seekers, mosques and ethnic minorities across the country. And finally… *) Türkiye to join genocide case against Israel at ICJ President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced that Türkiye will submit an application to join the world court genocide case against Israel. Erdogan said the country's parliamentary legal team will submit a petition to join the genocide case against Israel to the International Court of Justice in The Hague on Wednesday. He emphasised Türkiye's commitment to ending the “barbarism” that has claimed the lives of nearly 40,000 innocents in Gaza over the past ten months.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Palestinian Muslim writer Abdelhalim Abdelrahman, who has written for such publications as The New Arab, The Hill, and MSN, joins the show to discuss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington D.C. to speak to Congress. Netanyahu received a standing ovation from Congressmen and Congresswomen who attended, with the notable exception of Rep. Rashida Tlaib who held up a sign that read "War Criminal". Interestingly, a number of top Democrats declined to intend, including Nancy Pelosi, who called Netanyahu's speech was "by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States". Meanwhile protests raged outside and a flag-burning, which has taken up much media attention, took place. Additionally, Gaza still faces a humanitarian crisis. Palestinians in Gaza face a dire situation, as exemplified by the tragic death of a 24-year old Gazan man named Mohammad Bhar. Bhar was afflicted with autism and Down's syndrome. He was killed last week after bleeding out from being bitten by an Israeli army dog as reportedly screamed "enough my dear, enough" and/or "let go my love, enough". Worth noting as well, is the fact that it was not only pro-Palestinian activists protesting Netanyahu's D.C. visit. Families of hostages also protested, believing that Netanyahu has exploited them for politics and not done enough to secure the hostages from the October 7th. Hamas attack. In other words, there are a lot of matters to discuss in this conversation. Abdelhalim covered all these issues with me as well as: - The Palestinian Authority - The letter Mahmoud Abbas sent to Donald Trump after the attempted assassination on Trump's life and Donald Trump's seemingly warm, positive feelings (at least in past rhetoric and response to the letter) to Abbas - Elements of the American conservative movement moving away from Israel on "America First" grounds - Thoughts on whether Kamala Harris will take a different approach to Gaza and the West Bank than President Joe Biden - Empathetic rhetoric vs. actual concrete policy that Palestinian American want to see - Abdelhalim's thoughts on the plight of the October 7th hostages - The Fatah-Hamas unity deal that was signed in Beijing - Abdelhalim's personal feelings on the Uncommitted movement and his frustration with the Democratic Party - The Occupation of the West Bank and the issues of annexation and settlement expansion -  The question of "synthetic" or "artificial" Arab voices claiming to be "pro-peace" or "pro-Palestinian" but demonstrating a deep bias against Palestinians - Hunger and starvation in Israel - U.S. hypocrisy/double-standards on the situation of Palestinians vs. the situation of Ukrainians; Palestinians who express support for Ukraine and Ukrainians who express support for Palestinians - Abdelhalim's point of frustration with Nancy Pelosi's criticism of Netanyahu's speech to Congress And much, much more!

Israel's right to self-defense and security, governance in Gaza, the Iranian regime and its network of terror, the Jewish state's relationship with Arab countries in the Gulf, and much more were among the topics of discussion at an AJC-convened panel discussion at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Transcript of Panel with Jason Isaacson, Ken Weinstein, Kirsten Fontenrose, and Rich Goldberg: Manya Brachear Pashman:  America's political parties are kicking off the 2024 convention season, starting this week with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. AJC was on the sidelines of the RNC, with a live program titled Israel and the Path to Peace, moderated by AJC's chief policy officer, Jason Isaacson. Jason is also the head of AJC's recently launched Center for A New Middle East.  Joining Jason was Dr. Ken Weinstein, former longtime CEO of the Hudson Institute and the Walter P. Stern Distinguished Fellow at Hudson;  Kirsten Fontenrose, the President of Red Six Solutions and Senior Director of Gulf Affairs in the National Security Council under President Trump; and Rich Goldberg, Senior Adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Director of Countering Iranian Weapons of Mass Destruction for the National Security Council, under President Trump.  Just a reminder: AJC is a 501(c)3 nonpartisan organization and neither supports nor opposes candidates for elective office. A similar program will be offered at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this summer. Now onto today's episode: an excerpt from AJC's convention program. Jason Isaacson:   Let me begin by reading to you a couple of passages from the Republican platform, which was adopted yesterday at the Republican National Convention. This is what it said about Israel. Quote, We will stand with Israel and seek peace in the Middle East, we will rebuild our alliance network in the region to ensure a future of peace, stability and prosperity. And then there was, as you may recall, for the Republican platform, his list of 20 promises. And it's described as 20 promises that we will accomplish very quickly when we win the White House and Republican majorities in the House and Senate.  And number eight, on that list of 20 promises is the following, quote: restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East. So let's drill down with our panelists on those two statements in January 2025. That's more than six months away. It may be that the Israel Hamas war will be won over by them, and perhaps whatever conflict is so close to boiling over between Israel and Hezbollah, that that might not any longer be the case, might have boiled over, might be a thing of the past.  But let's say for the sake of argument, that hostilities are in fact, continuing, and let's assume that the Republican Party is victorious this fall. What are you expecting the Trump administration to do to, quote restore peace in the Middle East and to accomplish that, quote, very quickly. And let me begin Kirsten, with you. Kirsten Fontenrose:   Great, thanks so much for having us. All of us like to nerd out about these kinds of topics all the time when we're just grateful that there are other people who are as interested. What I expect to see in America is a revived peace plan. So you all remember the deal of the century, the vision for peace, we will see that come back. If there's a second Trump administration. Not in isolation, it will be part of a larger context.  That will also include assurances about Israel security and governance for Gaza and the like. Why have we not seen this yet? Because no one's asked the Trump team. But that will come back and you will see that. There's an expectation, whether it's naive or not, which we'll see, that there will be a greater receptiveness among the Palestinian population for an economic plan that offers improvements in livelihood after this conflict.  If there is a marginalized Hamas, there'll be more movement in this space for reviving these kinds of ideas. So we will definitely see a revived peace plan, you won't see less attention on this issue, you'll see very top level attention on the issue. You're also going to see, I think gloves off with the Houthis in the Red Sea. The US military has been very careful to make sure that all of our strikes so far had been from a defensive perspective. But you will see, I believe, because the world has not criticized any of these strikes, I think you're gonna see more latitude there. More room for movement for preemptive striking, for instance, because the perception is that for the whole world, this shipping interception problem is just out of hand. So I think we'll see more latitude there. And we'll see gloves come off a bit there.  And then I think you're gonna see some tough talk, frankly, with Prime Minister Netanyahu. President Trump has watched the US be yanked around a bit by the current Israeli government.  And I think you're going to see less tolerance for that recognition that Israel is a sovereign country, but more of an attempt to say the US is the superpower here, and we will be leading the ideas from hence. If we're expected to play a role, we will be leading in that role. What you will see, however, will be interesting to watch as there is division among Trump advisors about a two state solution. So you'll see that be debated out. Jason Isaacson:   Thank you for that. Ken, let me ask you, restoring peace in the Middle East and Europe and doing it very quickly, you've had a very broad focus on a whole range of foreign policy issues at the Hudson Institute and before and since. Tell me how you see that playing out under a second Trump administration? Ken Weinstein:   I'd say first of all, I think President Trump came to the conclusion early on, in his first term, he came in remember, talking about the deal of the century with you know, this peace agreement, he was booed at the Republican Jewish Committees event when he was a candidate.  And he quickly came into office and understood he could not trust Mahmoud Abbas, because of the incitement to terror by the Palestinian Authority and the tensions that were given out, and the pay for slay efforts that the Palestinian Authority has. Whereby people who kill Jews, kill Americans, were getting Palestinian Authority pensions in prisons, for their families and the like.  And so, Trump quickly came to understand that the challenge in the peace process wasn't bringing Israel and the Palestinians together, it was that the peace process itself was misconstrued. The peace process was being used by Middle Eastern governments, in particular, the Iranians, but also the Palestinians as a means to put leverage on Israel, exercise leverage on Israel, by a bunch of people who wanted to see the end of Israel's existence. And Trump quickly reversed that equation.  He understood that the best way to move forward was to remove items from the table such as moving the embassy to Jerusalem, which didn't have any of the backlash that John Kerry and others predicted would happen. And he quickly understood the best way to move things forward was to put pressure on the Palestinians.  Trump's a real estate guy. And so he understands leverage, he understands how to put pressure forth, and how to deter. I think we're going to see much more of that moving forward. We're not going to have a vice president of the United States who's going to get up and say, the Israelis can't evacuate Rafah, it's going to lead to 10s of 1000s of deaths.  And here I actually disagree slightly, I think Trump will actually give the Israelis the latitude they need to finish the mission, which is to destroy Hamas, and eventually bring about a transformation in Gaza, with the assistance of the Saudis. Who were absolutely critical in de-radicalizing Gaza, they have done it successfully themselves, as has the UAE. And so I think we're going to look much more at a regional approach on these issues. Obviously, Iran is going to be, to borrow a term from Joe Biden, President Biden, in the crosshairs of the Trump administration, as they were before. You're gonna see massive sanctions again, we're gonna get them, we're gonna enforce those sanctions. And Rich can talk to this stuff far more deeply than I ever could.  And you're gonna have the Iranians on the run so that they don't feel that they can work with Hamas or work with Hezbollah, to do more damage to Israel. And already we're seeing a deterrent effect on the Northern Front. And also with regard to Hamas.  Because with regard to Hamas, we see that the fear of a Trump administration is leading to a greater willingness to negotiate with Israel. And on the northern front, I think it's less likely that the Israelis will take dramatic action before the US election, knowing that they will not be reined in by an administration that is somehow searching for a delusion of peace with Hezbollah and with Lebanon. Jason Isaacson:   What about peace in Europe? Is is that something that you see, that you can envision under a Trump administration? Ken Weinstein:   First, let me say something with regard to Europe and the Middle East. I think that the Trump administration, the Trump team has been infuriated by this notion of enforcing this ridiculous ICC policy with regard to Israel and those who threatened to arrest Netanyahu. I think you're going to see in places particularly, I can just think of the kinds of actions they'll take in Germany.  I think you can expect individual sanctions on the people who were behind Nord Stream as a sign to not dare mess with Netanyahu, period. And you'll see other actions like that. I know the Spanish ambassadors here with regard to Spain with that we will be taking numbers, as Nikki Haley did so effectively at the UN, and as the Biden team does not.  So with regard to Europe. Look, I think the situation with regard to Ukraine, as President Trump understands it, I think, Trump, you have to understand he comes to this. He's not a policy person. He thinks that policy people like the three of us, four us up here, we lack creativity, we have a sense the policy options run from the letter L or P to the letter Q or R. And in fact, for Trump, they run from A to Z. And so that meant fire and fury in Pyongyang, but it meant eventually potentially beachfront condominiums in North Korea and an economic vitality to North Korea, if it gave up its nuclear program. With regard to Iran, it was maximum pressure, but it was the new Iran deal that got rid of the nuclear program that got rid of the missile program that got rid of regional activities, and that internally reshaped Iran, and led to a new relationship with Iran, with not only the region but the rest of the world. And with China, it was massive tariffs on China, but a new trade deal in the phase one that was gonna get rid of intellectual property stuff, which was at the core of what President Trump saw correctly as the engine of the Chinese economy, and the engine of the China 2025 program. So I'd say with regard to Ukraine, the President is looking at options that will, as he himself has said, he would tell the, you know, the Ukrainians on day one, you've got to, you know, we've got to end the fighting, you would tell Putin, if you don't end the fighting, we're gonna arm the shit out of Ukraine, pardon my French, as he said something along those lines. And I think what we'll see at the end of the day, is a massive program to guarantee Ukrainian security, that is going to take massive security guarantees. But the Europeans are going to have to step up and step up in a very serious way. And we've seen since the announcement of the JD Vance nomination are ready to reaction in Europe, the Europeans, you know, have to understand they're not gonna be able to backchannel they're not going to be able to figure out some way out of this. They're gonna have to be big providers of security guarantees, we will do the same for the Ukrainians as well, but Europe has to take up a big portion of it. And Trump does not, he is not Joe Biden, he's not going to cut and run, as in Afghanistan, he doesn't want to be humiliated on the stage, he understands deterrence, he's going to send a very clear signal to the Russians, as he did to the Taliban. When they were talking about when they were negotiating with the Taliban, Trump was on a video call once with the Taliban leader, and said, I want to make this very clear, you're not to strike at any of our people. And if you do, and hit the button on Play, and he showed a video of I think, the Taliban leader's kid leaving their house to say we're watching you every moment, and we will take care of you. And  there'll be some kind of a version of that with regard to Putin, that's going to be very clear. He was very blunt with Putin behind closed doors, from the White House in particular. And I think there was a good reason why Putin didn't go into Ukraine during Trump's term. And so I think that there's going to be some kind of a square in the circle solution that's going to have to come together. And I've been telling European foreign and defense ministers for the last few months, think about this now, how to do it, how to implement it.  Jason Isaacson:   Ken, thank you so much. Rich, let me turn to you. We've been talking about Iran, and you are an expert on Iran. It happened for years. I didn't see a reference to Iran and the Republican platform. But of course, we know, former President Trump's record on Iran. And Ken has been talking about that. Should he return to the White House next January, what do you foresee on this front to return to maximum pressure, or something more kinetic? And what is your sense of our regional strategic partners priorities? Are our friends in the Gulf hoping for a decisive showdown with Iran? Or are they sufficiently risk averse that they prefer a less confrontational approach? What do you think? Rich Goldberg:   I think if you look at the top lines, right, and you compare the policy, the recipe, if you will, under the Trump administration: maximum pressure on Iran, maximum support for Israel gets you peace, gets you deterrence. And when you flip the narrative and you go to maximum deference to Iran and pressure on Israel, you get conflict in the Middle East. It's not disconnected from what Ken's just talking about in other regions of the world as well, whether in Europe, whether you're in the Indo-Pacific. This comes down to the ability to restore American deterrence. And then you have options. There are a lot of genies that are out of the bottle due to the last three and a half years. Iran today and its nuclear program is at the one yard line of nuclear weapons thresholds. They were not there four years ago. In fact, after the killing of Soleimani, in early 2020, the rest of the year the Iranians never escalated the nuclear program again. They waited until January of 2021. And that's when they started jumping to 20% high enriched uranium. And then they saw nothing's happening to us. So they went to 60% high enriched uranium. They started installing all the advanced centrifuges, they've advanced, so far accelerated to this incredible capacity to produce a dozen nuclear weapons in just a couple of months if they so chose. Plus Intel now coming in that the administration is trying to downplay work on weaponization. There's a lot of genies out of the bottle here that Donald Trump's going to have to try to put back into the bottle.  And that will not be easy. But the formula remains correct. Restore deterrence, have maximum pressure and isolation on the Iranian regime and provide support to your allies. Now, the Gulf Arabs, by the way, the Saudis, the Emiratis, they've made some strategic decisions due to the policies that they saw, sustained by Joe Biden. They've cut deals with the Iranians and sort of cut their own JCPOA. with Iran with the Houthis. I'm not sure they're going to be on board for what's coming next. And they need to make some preparations for the return of a Trump administration and hawkishness towards Tehran and understand that we also won't tolerate them hedging with the Chinese. Now, that comes from the fact that America is hedging on them.  And so there's going to be a lot of parts that have to come together like a puzzle, to try to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, actual restored turns and regain that peace through strength in the region. This is true in the Middle East. It's true in Europe, and it's true in the Indo Pacific. So what is deterrence? I think that's a major question. What is deterrence? Made up of two big things, capacity and will. Joe Biden and Donald Trump both have capacity. They were the commander in chief at some point of the most powerful military on Earth. Nobody doubts that you have capacity when you are the president of the United States. But our enemies do doubt the will. And they test the will early on.  Every single administration gets tested, whether it's China, whether it's Putin, whether it's Iran, they get tested. At some point, Donald Trump got tested by the Iranians and Soleimani is dead. And that changed a lot of things in the world. And over the course of time, the unpredictability, the some of the craziness of the media went hysterical over the red button with Kim Jong Un did get the attention of people like Vladimir Putin. The Taliban tested Joe Biden, and he failed the test. And Kabul fell. And then Ukraine was invaded. And then now in China, they're expanding and starting to harass and actually attack in some ways, the Philippines and Taiwan.  And what are we seeing? Nothing. So, the minute Donald Trump becomes president, when I hear Trump say, just my election is going to start bringing about a change on the Ukraine front, a change in the world. You might have laughed at that.  I think after Saturday, you're not laughing anymore. A picture that if you're Xi Jinping, the Ayatollah, Putin, Kim Jong Un, looking at that on your desk every day of Donald Trump with his fist in the air blood dripping, right after being shot, saying fight. You're not questioning will. And that will be, I think, the big game changer.  Now, they might still test it. And there's a Chinese proverb, which is, you have to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. And I think President Trump might have to kill a chicken. He'd have to pick the chicken wisely. I think it might be the Houthis. That makes no sense to me. There is a national interest, there's a strategic importance to it. And it will game change how you're trying to get the Gulf Arabs back on side, see that we are committed to the security in the Gulf in the broader Middle East, it will send a major signal to Tehran, and it'll be part of that pivot back to maximum pressure on Iran and maximum support for Israel.  Jason Isaacson:   Rich, thank you. But before I turn back to the Abraham Accords, let me ask you, what's your sense of the Saudi and UAE and Bahraini overtures to Iran? Are they just seeking some kind of stability, some kind of channel, but it doesn't have a whole lot of meaning, or what's your sense and how should the US respond? Rich? Rich Goldberg:   I think there is meaning to it. I think that Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince in Saudi Arabia has changed his strategic calculus over the last three years. I think that there was a game changing moment for him when the Houthis were raining down missiles, next to a Formula One race he was hosting out in Jeddah. And you're talking about major investors, world leaders, important people all driving into a race course already there. And you're seeing a ballistic missile explode within your line of sight. And the United States does nothing.  And then Abu Dhabi comes under attack by the Houthis, and the United States does nothing. And they're saying, Wow, they're just at the table trying to give the Iranians whatever they can, they've taken the Houthis off the terror list. They're not defending us anymore. They've pulled the missile defense augmentation that Trump put in, in 2019-2020. And they're still trying to get this nuclear deal done.  What are we doing here? Why are we just waiting around for Godot? Why are we exposed? We should cut a deal here. And why if the United States can hedge on us, can't we hedge on them, and they start cozying up to the Chinese and doing things that we probably don't like very much I need to put an end to. So I think it's very real. These channels are real. They're in a hedge. I think it's taken a while for others that are far more suspicious of Iran, like Bahrain to get on board this strategy. But everybody sort of signed up to this. There's a normalization process with Assad that I think is partially connected to it as well. All of that's going to have to change. You have Donald Trump is back in office. And I don't know that they appreciate that very much. Jason Isaacson:   There's also a recollection of the Trump administration in this reaction or non reaction to this Iranian attack on Saudi Aramco facilities. So it's been a mixed bag. But But first, let me let me let me turn back to you. And we were talking about the Abraham accords before. That was a great foreign policy access success of the last months of the Trump administration, first of the UAE, then Bahrain and then with different terminology, but Morocco and Sudan. As you know, the Biden administration has been vigorously pursuing an effort to normalize Saudi relations with Israel, and objective that was also very much a part of the Trump administration's vision. What are your perspectives on the likelihood of that kind of a deal being closed in the last months of the current Biden administration, if they do move forward on such a deal with the Republicans getting the Senate joined with Democrats in the Senate to support such a deal before the election? Or perhaps in a lame duck session after the election?   Kirsten Fontenrose:   Well that's the big question. So I think if you have a deal that includes normalization with Israel, Saudi us still includes normalization with Israel, it has a shot of getting through, but the closer we get to the election, the smaller that shot gets, because the more Republicans Congress will want to hold out to grant that foreign policy when to potential Republican administration.  But if you have a deal that is being discussed now, as a Plan B, that is just a US-Saudi deal, without normalization. And this is because of the Israeli government's decision, perhaps not to grant that the Saudis are fully on board, you won't get it through, there's just not enough in it. For the US. There are lots of questions about why we'd be granting Saudi assistance with civilian nuclear technology. And a security guarantee, when we're not really getting much out of it. There's nothing in this deal in terms of concrete asks on the relationship with China. And we can really go quite far in blocking Chinese influence in the Gulf by just improving our own foreign military sales process. We don't need to grant security guarantees, the Israeli Saudi relationship is so close right now. It's normalization and everything but public statement and name and that public statement name is important for the follow on effects you have around the world globally and with other Muslim populations.  But in terms of their coordination, they're in a pretty good place. So we're not in some sort of crisis rush to make sure this happens in the next few months, unless you're the Biden team. And you're desperate for a foreign policy win, because your promises on other foreign policy fronts have not borne out.  So I think you will still see this continue, though we have doubled down on the Saudi discussion, if there is a second Trump administration. But you will not see this granting of a deal to Saudi Arabia, even though they are a phenomenal partner. And we are quite close, without more concrete asks that benefit U.S. goals as well. It's not the opinion that just having Saudi on side with nothing we've actually signed them up to, would they grant overflight rights, if things came down with Iran.  We need to make those more specific before we would do something that would require commitment of troops, large resources, equipment, perhaps to the detriment of other partners, we would be able to send those same troops and equipment. So I don't think we're going to see it in the last months of this administration. Manya Brachear Pashman: To hear the rest of the panel, head to the link in our show notes.

We hope to see some of you there.  Next week on People of the Pod, tune in for our sit down with two Jewish Olympians before they head to Paris for the Summer Olympic Games.

Norway, Ireland, and Spain have recognized a Palestinian state, leaving unanswered questions: What are its borders? Is the unelected Mahmoud Abbas head of state? Is this how the world rewards terrorism? 5) Israel recalls ambassadors from Spain, Norway, and Ireland; 4) Most aid delivered to Gaza through floating pier not reaching Gazans; 3) NATO considers sending troops to Ukraine; 2) Clinics inside Seattle public schools to offer gender-destroying drugs to children; 1) Crime uncovered during Trump trial in New York, but not the one prosecutors wanted.

On this edition of Parallax Views, noted Dutch-Palestinian Middle East analyst and Jadaliyya magazine co-editor Mouin Rabbani took time out of his busy schedule to discuss a number of topics related to the Gaza War and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more broadly. We begin the conversation by delving into the news of the International Criminal Court (ICC) seeking arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Israeli leaders as well as Hamas leaders like Yahya Sinwar. From there we branch out into a discussion of Mouin's contribution to the recent OR Books anthology DELUGE: Gaza and Israel from Crisis to Cataclysm. In this regard, Mouin delves into the regional dynamics at play with regard to the Gaza War and argues that the often-repeated analysis that Hamas committed the Oct 7th attack in order to sabotage Saudi-Israeli normalization is in fact wrong. He'll also discuss his analysis of what he believes were the motivations behind the Oct 7th attack. Additionally, Mouin and I discuss the issue of propaganda and how to cut through it when examining the Israel/Palestine conflict, the two-state solution's feasibility, prerequisites for a long-term solution to the broader conflict, Israel's us of artificial intelligence in warfare, the Palestinian Authority's Mahmoud Abbas as an obstalce to ending Palestinian divisions, and more.

Speaking at a World Economic Forum meeting in Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, said that only America could stop Israel from carrying out its planned offensive on Rafah. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today, the history of the Palestinian Authority, and whether its security forces are up to the challenge of helping to stabilize a post-war Gaza.Read more:The Palestinian Authority security forces, which report to President Mahmoud Abbas, are at a pivotal moment. The group, estimated to be 35,500 members strong, is regarded by the Biden administration as central to its goal to stabilize a post-war Gaza.However, despite two decades of reforms, the Palestinian Authority remains chronically underfunded and widely unpopular; many think its security force is ill-equipped to take on the massive responsibility that its Western backers are envisioning.Today, Post reporter Miriam Berger takes us inside the Palestinian Authority training center, and gives us a rare glimpse of the specific challenges this security force faces as the United States rests its hopes on the group.Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy, with help from Ariel Plotnick.
