Confirmation hearings begin today for President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet. With only six days until Inauguration Day, lawmakers are hopeful some nominations will be confirmed before then. Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, former FOX News host Pete Hegseth, is kicking off the week of hearings and is expected to receive pushback from Senate Democrats. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) joins the Rundown to share his optimism about confirming the President-elect's cabinet nominees and the GOP's policy agenda. President Biden addressed the nation on Tuesday, touting his foreign policy achievements, from ending the United States' involvement in Afghanistan to strengthening alliances in the South Pacific. Critics have come out against the claims, pointing out the loss of life during the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Former deputy national security advisor to President Trump and Vice President of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, Victoria Coates, joins the Rundown to take a look back at the Biden administration's foreign policy initiatives, how they impacted the Middle East, and what lasting effect the policies will have on the globe.

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. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and reporter Diana Bletter join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Tensions are high in Israel over the possibility of a proposed hostage deal. Schneider discusses the Sunday phone conversation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden regarding the negotiations. She also reviews which Israeli officials are currently in Doha, along with Steve Witkoff, President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy. Schneider says Netanyahu met with coalition leaders Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, as the prime minister needs those two powerful coalition partners on board to approve any hostage deal. Bletter talks about her visits to two northern kibbutz communities where residents have been evacuated for more than a year and now have to decide what the future holds for them. She also discusses a Weizmann Institute study about ants, and their ability to work well as a team, unlike their human counterparts.

When sharing our own testimonies and stories about our faith in Christ with Muslims, it is essential to know some basic differences between Christianity and Islam. What do Muslims believe about the Trinity? What is the true nature of God? What are the fundamental differences between the God of the Bible and Allah of the Qur'an? This week we continue our discussion with  Dr. Sherene Khouri, author and assistant professor of Arabic at Liberty University of Virginia, about her new book, Triune Rationality - A Trinitarian Response to Islamic Monotheism. Dr. Khouri provides us with helpful historical insights and key theological concepts that will both enrich and better inform our apologetic conversations with our Muslim friends and neighbors.Sherene Nicholas Khouri (PhD, Liberty University) is assistant professor of Arabic at Liberty University and also teaches courses on theology, apologetics, Arabic Christianity, and Islam in the John W. Rawlings School of Divinity.

A complex array of domestic, regional, and international factors contributed to the rise of Hafez Al Assad as president of Syria in 1970 and the ultimate demise of his son, Bashar Al Assad on December 8, 2024 – thirteen years after the Syrian people unsuccessfully rose up peacefully as part of the regional phenomena commonly referred to as the Arab Spring.  Located at the center of geopolitical competition between Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, the nation of Syria will continue to play an instrumental role in regional politics, which in turn impacts U.S. interests in the oil-rich Middle East.Host Sahar Aziz speaks with Professor Omar Dahi about what lies ahead what lies ahead for the Syrian people, who like other Arabs in the region, yearn for self-governance, peace, and security for their nation.Support the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://csrr.rutgers.edu/newsroom/sign-up-for-newsletter/ 

“That is a war that's dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president.” - Donald Trump, during a September 2024 presidential debateUS President-elect Donald Trump has for two years loudly and boldly proclaimed that the Russia-Ukraine war needs to end, and that he is uniquely qualified to quickly bring that about.  This episode explores the challenges Mr. Trump will face in his efforts to bring about a deal that is satisfactory enough for both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.  By far the most important aspect in armistice negotiations between warring parties is the current military situation, the “realities on the ground” to use a commonly used phrase.  That will be the focus on this episode.  We will also look into potential options for the incoming US President might explore as he attempts to navigate a situation that even has recently indicated was more difficult than the Middle East.  Either way, we will soon learn just how influential Mr. Trump's reputation as a strong-minded figure who is nevertheless willing to broker deals will be on a Russia-Ukraine War that is nearing its third year. 

Downfall! - The coming end of the US Empire (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0006 As we enter 2025, the perceived decline of the U.S. Empire is marked by a confluence of economic, political, and social challenges. Domestically, increasing polarization and political instability have eroded public trust in institutions, leading to a fragmented society. Economic disparities have widened, with a shrinking middle class and rising inflation contributing to discontent. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed vulnerabilities in the healthcare system and supply chains, prompting calls for systemic reform. Internationally, the U.S. faces growing competition from rising powers like China and Russia, which have expanded their influence through strategic alliances and economic initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative. The U.S.'s withdrawal from global leadership roles, exemplified by its handling of climate change and international agreements, has diminished its soft power and credibility on the world stage. Moreover, military overreach and prolonged engagements in the Middle East have strained resources and public support, leading to questions about the sustainability of U.S. foreign policy. As global dynamics shift, the U.S. must navigate a multipolar world where its dominance is increasingly challenged, prompting a reevaluation of its role and strategies in an evolving geopolitical landscape. The combination of these factors signals a significant transformation in the U.S. Empire's standing.

Diplomacy in the Middle East on two fronts: With less than two weeks before U.S. President Joe Biden leaves office, his aides are working with President-elect Donald Trump's team in a last-ditch push for a ceasefire in Gaza. And foreign ministers and top diplomats from Western and Middle Eastern countries met with Syria's new foreign minister in Riyadh. Has the death toll in Gaza been under-estimated? Los Angeles continues to burn. American voters have differing expectations for the next president's term. Is French influence on the decline in Africa? Plus, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a message for North Korean leader Kim Jon Un.

The Gaza war has triggered widespread geopolitical repercussions, placing Lebanon at a critical juncture. Regional instability has intensified, exacerbating tensions between Hezbollah and Israel despite a recently brokered ceasefire. Israel's continued military presence in southern Lebanon raises urgent questions about sovereignty, security, and the viability of peace agreements in this volatile region. Lebanon faces mounting challenges, including economic collapse, public unrest, and increased militarization along its southern border. Hezbollah's response to the Gaza conflict, intertwined with its ties to Iran, complicates Lebanon's internal dynamics and its role within Middle Eastern geopolitics. Meanwhile, the international community grapples with balancing Lebanon's fragile stability against the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, often prioritizing strategic interests over humanitarian needs. This episode examines the historical, political, and humanitarian dimensions of these issues. What is Lebanon's path forward amidst regional and domestic pressures? How does Hezbollah influence this complex landscape, and what role can international actors play in fostering peace? Joining us to unravel these questions are this week's special guests. Jon Allen is a distinguished Canadian diplomat with over four decades of experience in international affairs. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario (LL.B.) and the London School of Economics (LL.M. in International Law), Mr. Allen has held key postings worldwide, including Mexico City, New Delhi, and Washington, D.C., where he served as Minister of Political Affairs. From 2006 to 2010, he was Canada's Ambassador to Israel, gaining deep insight into the region's geopolitics. Currently, Mr. Allen is a Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs, a Distinguished Fellow of the Canadian International Council, and Chair of Rozana Canada, promoting Israeli-Palestinian healthcare collaboration. He previously appeared on Beyond the Headlines in the 2023/24 season to discuss insurgency dynamics in the Middle East.  Eugene Rogan is a renowned historian specializing in the modern Middle East and North Africa. He serves as Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History at the University of Oxford and is a Fellow at St. Antony's College. A Columbia University economics graduate, Dr. Rogan earned his master's and doctorate in Middle Eastern Studies from Harvard University. Professor Rogan's acclaimed works include The Arabs: A History, The Fall of the Ottomans: The Great War in the Middle East, and the forthcoming The Damascus Events: The 1860 Massacre and the Destruction of the Old Ottoman World. His expertise spans the Arab-Israeli conflict, Ottoman history, and the First World War's impact on the region, offering valuable historical context to contemporary events. We are honored to have him join us today. Production Note The segment featuring Jon Allen was recorded on November 11, 2024, before key developments in the Israel-Lebanon conflict. A ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel was reached in late November 2024; however, Israeli forces remain in southern Lebanon, raising ongoing concerns. These updates are addressed in the second segment with Professor Eugene Rogan, recorded on January 11, 2025, to reflect the latest developments. Produced by: Julia Brahy

Bond markets have kicked off 2025 with “a significant spike in yields, and this is now firmly on investors' minds,” says Dr Dirk Steffen, the Private Bank's EMEA CIO. “Bonds have to be managed very actively.” The bond volatility has been particularly pronounced in the U.K., but Dirk says that the situation there is probably not as severe as the crisis in 2022.Meanwhile, earnings season kicks off in earnest this week, with a group of results from major U.S. banks. "Elevated yields could be a nice tail-wind” for the banks, Dirk says, and “let's not forget about buybacks,” which could also be supportive. Communications services, financials, IT, and consumer discretionary are all sectors that are likely to show strong earnings growth.For more investing insights, please visit deutschewealth.com In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

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. Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Late last week, almost two years exactly to the unveiling of the initial judicial overhaul legislative package, Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar unveiled a far-reaching package of changes to Israel’s judicial system which would increase political power over judicial appointments and curb the High Court’s ability to strike down legislation. The new package would stop short of some measures that sparked massive anti-government protests in 2023, but are potentially just a beginning. We unravel the new initiative and try to understand its implications. The High Court of Justice on Friday gave the state until the end of January to explain what steps it was taking to maximize Haredi enlistment to the Israel Defense Forces and to penalize draft dodgers.The instruction came in response to several petitions calling for the immediate conscription of all previously exempt ultra-Orthodox men. We learn about the court's impatience with the government's lack of action on this flashpoint issue. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Overhaul redux: Levin’s ‘compromise’ proposal would again radically constrain the judiciary Levin, Sa’ar unveil new judicial overhaul plan; wary opposition heads hold off response High Court orders state to clarify plans to draft Haredim, penalize dodgers Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In the first Sunday Show of 2025, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), comments on the opening moves of 2025 by politicians like President Cyril Ramaphosa, Vice President Paul Mashatile, former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi and US President-Elect Donald Trump. Dissecting President Ramaphosa's speech this weekend, De Beer concludes that “the ANC is starting to face reality - and stark reality”. He slams Vice President Mashatile's “absolute idiotic move” to accuse the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape of having no regard for the poor while standing in front of a rubbish heap in an ANC's councillor's ward. De Beer, who is also a Councillor in the City of Cape Town, describes how the City sometimes has to send the police to escort its rubbish trucks. De Beer weighs in on the big loss to the EFF of the “great mind” of Dr. Ndlozi who was “the wind that was carrying the EFF air” in Parliament. De Beer also marvels at US President-Elect Donald Trump's survival of yet another legal challenge to head for his second inauguration - and warns that South Africa's Government of National Unity (GNU) should notbe surprised if America said “we do not like your stance in the Middle East and we do not like what you have done - and you will have pressure from us to change your attitude”.

Nagy and Hope grew up in the Middle East in families that followed Christ and encouraged them to serve God and be people of His Word. They were serving the Lord doing good work in their home country when they felt God's call to go to another county in the region: Libya. The transition was difficult and discouraging. They were forced to navigate a different community and expectations, and to learn a different Arabic dialect. With no fruit to be seen, Nagy and Hope were at times discouraged and disappointed. Yet God was working. After months of gospel work, one lady came to Hope asking questions about the gospel. Nagy and Hope were excited! They felt it was worth it to be in Libya if only one person came to Christ! Then their new friend was detained and interrogated. She cut off all contact with Hope. “It was hard,” Hope says, “but at the same time there was hope. Maybe the Lord would give us more opportunities.” The Lord did bring about more opportunities, but they didn't come without disappoints and hardship. Nagy and Hope will share more opportunities they had to disciple new believers and the obstacles they faced. When war broke out across Libya, the Lord still called them to stay, promising protection for their family and even their neighbors. God opened the hearts of many as they saw the Lord provide in their time of need. Listen as Nagy and Hope share when the Lord clearly told them their time in Libya was over and they had to leave. Please pray for Libya and for the continued ministry of gospel workers in that country.

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. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for a bonus episode of our weekly What Matters Now series. This week, a committee appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to examine defense spending and IDF military force design for the future announced that the election of Donald Trump as US president offers an unprecedented opportunity to remove the threat Israel faces from Iran. Trump’s return to the White House, said the Nagel Committee on Monday, “creates, for the first time, the potential for a fundamental change, and the removal or meaningful reduction of the Iranian threat.” Likewise this week, incoming US envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff announced that he would travel to Doha, saying a hostage deal being mediated by Qatar is on the verge of completion, as Trump again warned “all hell will break loose” in the region if an agreement between Israel and Hamas is not reached by his January 20 inauguration. We all know that Trump is one to talk tough, but the question is -- how much of this rhetoric will translate into action? And will he aid Israel in its effort to prevent a nuclear Iran?
