This episode explores the recent election of Salahuddin's governor and what it signals about cross-sectarian coalition-building in Iraq's evolving political landscape. The hosts analyze the growing generational divide between Iraq's old guard politicians and emerging younger leaders, examining how transactional relationships are recalibrating power structures. They also discuss Tom Barrack's recent visit to Iraq, the complexities foreign actors face navigating Iraq's political landscape, and the diplomatic controversy surrounding Iraq's submission of maritime boundary coordinates to the UN, which sparked reactions from Kuwait and neighboring Arab states.

In this special podcast we go deep into the darkness that has descended upon the Kurdish ethnic minority in northern Syria. The massacre of civilians and brutality is reminiscent of ISIS. In fact, the Syrian state army is comprised of many former jihadists - some still openly wearing ISIS patches on their uniforms. The Kurds, of course, led the military force that led the assault on ISIS and its eventual retreat and defeat. But with the anointment of former al Qaeda man, Ahmed al Sharaa, as President of Syria…..violent Islamism has enjoyed something of a resurgence.Absolute hell has been visited upon the Syrian Kurds while the west and the world are distracted by chaos in the Islamic Republic of Iran. But the massacre of Syrian Kurds has barely been noticed. We feature interviews with four experts on the Syrian Kurds. (Their photos and bios are set out below in the Podcast Notes.) Each one brings a very deep understanding of the complexity of this situation. In order to assist as you work your way through this we have provided time stamps so that you may skip to particular bits that interest you more.In addition to the experts featured here we spoke to many others. I am grateful to all for their time and generosity in sharing their expertise and insight. I would like to draw particular attention to Noor Dahri, a devout Muslim living in the UK and originally from Pakistan. I learned so much from Noor and hope to share part of our interview in the near future. Editing such rich material is not easy. So thanks, Noor, for helping me to better understand the forces that are driving fanatical Islamism in the Middle East and the west.And to our loyal listeners, this episode is being made available to all subscribers in full. Consider it our contribution to doing whatever is possible to amplify awareness of the Kurdish plight.There are some graphic videos included in this podcast. If you prefer not to view them we provide advance notice so that you may skip over them.Timestamps:Introduction with video clips: 00:00Interview with Dr. Qanta A.

This moment offers a pathway to full integration into a unified Syrian state with citizenship rights, cultural protections, and political participation— long denied under Bashar al-Assad's regime, where many Kurds faced statelessness, language restrictions, and systemic discrimination.Historically, the US military presence in northeastern Syria was justified primarily as a counter-ISIS partnership. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), led by Kurds, proved the most effective ground partner in defeating ISIS's territorial caliphate by 2019, detaining thousands of ISIS fighters and family members in prisons and camps like al-Hol and al-Shaddadi. At that time, there was no functioning central Syrian state to partner with—the Assad regime was weakened, contested, and not a viable partner against ISIS due to its alliances with Iran and Russia.Today, the situation has fundamentally changed. Syria now has an acknowledged central government that has joined the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS (as its 90th member in late 2025), signaling a westward pivot and cooperation with the US on counterterrorism. This shifts the rationale for the US-SDF partnership: the original purpose of the SDF as the primary anti-ISIS force on the ground has largely expired, as Damascus is now both willing and positioned to take over security responsibilities, including control of ISIS detention facilities and camps.Recent developments show the US actively facilitating this transition, rather than prolonging a separate SDF role:• We have engaged extensively with the Syrian Government and SDF leadership to secure an integration agreement, signed on January 18, and to set a clear pathway for timely and peaceful implementation.• The deal integrates SDF fighters into the national military (as individuals, which remains among the most contentious issues), hand over key infrastructure (oil fields, dams, border crossings), and cede control of ISIS prisons and camps to Damascus.• The US has no interest in long-term military presence; it prioritizes defeating ISIS remnants, supporting reconciliation, and advancing national unity without endorsing separatism or federalism.This creates a unique window for the Kurds: integration into the new Syrian state offers full citizenship rights (including for those previously stateless), recognition as an integral part of Syria, constitutional protections for Kurdish language and culture (e.g., teaching in Kurdish, celebrating Nawruz as a national holiday), and participation in governance—far beyond the semi-autonomy the SDF held amid civil war chaos.While risks remain (e.g., fragile ceasefires, occasional clashes, concerns over hardliners, or the desire of some actors to relitigate past grievances), the United States is pushing for safeguards on Kurdish rights and counter-ISIS cooperation. The alternative—prolonged separation—could invite instability or ISIS resurgence. This integration, backed by US diplomacy, represents the strongest chance yet for Kurds to secure enduring rights and security within a recognized Syrian nation-state.In Syria, the United States is focused on: 1) ensuring the security of prison facilities holding ISIS prisoners, currently guarded by the SDF; and 2) facilitating talks between the SDF and the Syrian Government to allow for the peaceful integration of the SDF and the political inclusion of Syria's Kurdish population into a historic full Syrian citizenship.* Dr. Qanta A.

For over fourteen years, the Kurds and the Syrian Democratic Forces were central to United States (US) efforts against the IS group. Recent shifts under the Trump administration, led by envoy Tom Barrack, indicate the US is pulling back support from the Kurds and instead backing Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Shara. In an interview, with senior fellow at the New Lions Institute and former spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition against IS group in Syria and Iraq, Colonel Myles Caggins lll analyses the implications of this change. - Zêdetirî 14 salan Kurdên li bakur-rojhilatê Sûriyê û Hêzên Sûriya Demokratîk di şerê li dijî DAIŞê de hevkarên sereke yê Amerîka bûn. Lê di bin serokatiya Serok Trump de, rêveberiyê - bi rêya nûner Tom Barrack - piştgiriya xwe ji Kurdan û HSDê vekişand û piştgiriya xwe guherand hukûmeta Sûriyê ya demkî di bin serokatiya Ehmed El Şera de.

ABD Büyükelçisi Tom Barrack'ın “Artık YPG'ye ihtiyacımız yok” açıklamasından sonra Trump'ın da “Onara çok yardım ettik bir işe yaramadılar” mealindeki sözleriyle PKK/YPG fiilen bitti, tarih oldu.

Turkey has backed a Syrian army offensive against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, despite a fragile ceasefire backed by the United States. Aleppo has seen its worst fighting in years, as the Syrian army moved to oust the SDF from two large, mainly Kurdish neighbourhoods in the north of the city. The clashes began in late December and continued into January, forcing many civilians to flee. The SDF controls a large swathe of northern and eastern Syria. The offensive comes as efforts to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army stalled. “This is a warning. It is a kind of pressure on the SDF to come to a conclusion quickly, rather than to kick the can down the road with Damascus,” Aydin Selcen, a former senior Turkish diplomat who served in the region, told RFI. Turkey's backing Ankara, which has recently reopened channels with Damascus after years of strained relations, strongly backs the offensive and has signalled its readiness to provide military support against the SDF. “Turkey has the military advantage there, and I believe the SDF should take these warnings seriously,” Selcen said. He is now an analyst for the Turkish news portal Medyascope. Turkey accuses the SDF of links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, the PKK, which has fought an insurgency against the Turkish state for decades. The PKK is designated a terrorist organisation by the United States and the European Union. Turkey is also pursuing a renewed peace initiative with the PKK and sees the integration of the SDF into the Syrian army as key to stabilising northern Syria. US pushes Israel to accept Turkish role in Gaza stabilisation force Stalled integration In March last year, the SDF signed an agreement in Damascus to integrate with the Syrian army. The deal set out broad principles but left key questions unresolved. “There was a discrepancy from the beginning in what the parties understood integration to mean,” said Sezin Oney, of the Turkish Politikyol news portal. “In Turkey's case, they mean integration in such a way that it melts into the Syrian army. But the SDF understands it as integrating while protecting its inner core and identity. Remaining as the SDF, but operating under the umbrella of the Syrian army. “Unless one of the parties backs down and makes concessions, we are likely to see a bigger military operation.” International stakes On Thursday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa held telephone talks with his French and Turkish counterparts on the security situation. The discussions focused on containing the fighting and preserving the ceasefire. Despite its precarious position, the SDF retains influential supporters. Israel, an increasingly vocal critic of Turkey's regional role, has expressed support for the group. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar condemned Damascus's operations in Aleppo. The SDF remains a key partner of the United States Central Command in operations against the Islamic State group in Syria. “The SDF lost a lot of troops, at least 10,000 fighters, in the fight against ISIS since 2014,” said Turkish international relations expert Soli Ozel. “It's a complicated picture. But from the American side, I do not yet see signs they would allow an attack on the SDF at this moment.” According to Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey and Washington's envoy on Syria, diplomatic efforts are under way to extend the Aleppo ceasefire and allow SDF fighters to withdraw from contested areas. Turkey fears Ukraine conflict will spill over on its Black Sea shores Pressure on Washington The duration of US support for the SDF remains uncertain, especially after last year's agreement between Washington and Damascus to step up cooperation against the Islamic State group. The issue has taken on added significance following President Donald Trump's meeting with Syrian President al-Sharaa in Washington. Given President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's strong relationship with Trump, time may not be on the SDF's side, Oney said. “They want to have the northern part of Syria, at least, but also Syria more broadly, as their backyard,” she added. “Turkey is the most influential country in Damascus. They want the SDF to melt away into the new Syrian state and its army.” Turkey could face domestic political fallout for targeting the SDF. Protests have erupted in the country's predominantly Kurdish southeast, which borders Syria, in response to the clashes in Aleppo. Any further military action against the SDF could jeopardise the fragile peace process with the PKK. 

After years of negotiations, the Turkish military may finally be close to acquiring American F-35 fighter jets. United States President Donald Trump has suggested a deal could be near, despite Israel warning that the sale would threaten its security amidst rising tensions with Turkey. “We're thinking about it very seriously,” Trump said when asked by a reporter about the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey during a visit this week by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The sale has been blocked for years due to Turkey's purchase of the Russian S-400 missile system. A recent Bloomberg report suggested Ankara may be prepared to return the missiles, though Turkish officials have denied this. Political commentator Asli Aydintasbas, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, says that the strengthening relationship between Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan means both sides are working to resolve the impasse. “He [Trump] himself is working with Turkey through his very effective ambassador, Tom Barrack, to find a solution,” said Aydintasbas. “There will be stiff opposition from the Greek lobby, Israelis and other regional players. But we've seen Trump skirt such opposition when it came to the Saudi Arabia F-35 sale.” Military edge Israeli security experts warn that Turkey's acquisition of F-35 jets poses a greater security risk to Israel than the Saudi deal due to the Turkish military's expertise, which threatens to challenge Israel's technological advantage. Currently, Israel maintains a significant edge as the Turkish air force operates decade-old jets, a factor that is increasingly important amid rising regional tensions. “There was definitely a concern in the spring that there might be a confrontation in the skies of Syria between Israel and Turkey,” said Gallia Lindenstrauss of the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. Syria in crossfire as Turkish-Israeli rivalry heats up over Assad's successors She stresses the risk of confrontation has significantly diminished thanks to “de-confliction talks”, brokered by Azerbaijan. A Syria “hotline” now exists between Israel and Turkey to prevent what Lindenstrauss describes as “accidents between the Israeli Air Force and the Turkish Air Force”. Yet the need for such measures underscores how strained ties are. “The fact that it exists, of course, does point to the fact that things are not necessarily calm,” Lindenstrauss acknowledged. Provocative alliances Israel's conflict in Gaza has heightened tensions with Turkey. On New Year's Day, hundreds of thousands protested in Istanbul in support of Palestinians. Tensions escalated further as Israel increased military cooperation last month with Greece and Cyprus. Both Greece and Cyprus have unresolved territorial disputes with Turkey in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. “Israelis are provoking especially Greeks and Greek Cypriots,” said Murat Aslan of Seta, a Turkish pro-government think tank. “The Israeli pilots are educating and training Greek pilots. They are operating [drones] across the Aegean Sea. And they sold many complex missile systems. So that means Israelis are provoking Greece just to challenge Turkey here in the Aegean Sea.” In his New Year's address, Erdogan said he was closely monitoring what he describes as threats and provocations against Turkey and Turkish Cypriots. Aslan predicts Ankara will not remain passive. “If there is a pattern in the west of Turkey that Greeks and Israelis are cooperating, for the sake of Turkish security interests, for sure there will be a reaction,” he warned. Israel talks defence with Greece and Cyprus, as Turkey issues Netanyahu warrant Greece, which is also acquiring the F-35, has joined Israel in opposing Turkey's purchase of the jet, warning it would alter the balance of power. While Trump has expressed support for the Turkish sale, analyst Aydintasbas notes the US president is learning the limitations of his power when it comes to Israel. “Trump is going through what a lot of US presidents have experienced: frustration, and a question – ‘wait a minute, who's the superpower here?'” she said. “Because of the power dynamic in the US-Israeli relationship, it sometimes does point to a situation in which Israelis, though the weaker side technically, end up having the upper hand because of their enormous influence in the public space.” Aydintasbas predicts that, despite Trump's friendship with and admiration for Erdogan, the US president will be unwilling to pay the political price of securing the Turkish jet sale. “This is an issue on which Trump is not willing to fight the US Congress... and essentially ignore the US law,” she said. For the self-described master dealmaker, it may prove a deal too far.

Başkan Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ve ABD Başkanı Trump arasındaki lider diplomasisi F-35 alımı konusundaki süreci hızlandırdı. Müzakereler hali hazırda Türkiye'ye ait olan 6 adet F-35'in teslimine yoğunlaştı. Başkan R.T Erdoğan ile ABD Başkanı Trump arasındaki lider diplomasisi süreci hızlandırdı! 6F-35 uçağı için geri sayım başladı. Türkiye ile ABD arasındaki ilişkilerde, Başkan Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ile ABD Başkanı Donald Trump arasındaki “lider diplomasisi” sayesinde önemli konularda aşama kat ediliyor. Türkiye'nin ABD'nin, Hasımlarına Yaptırımlar Yoluyla Karşılık Verme Yasası (CAATSA) kapsamından çıkarılması yönünde modeller üzerinde çalışılıyor. CAATSA, iki ülke arasında belirlenen 100 milyar dolarlık ticaret hacmi hedefine ulaşılmasının önündeki en büyük engellerden biri olarak görülüyor. ABD'nin Ankara Büyükelçisi Tom Barrack, bu sorunun çözümü için ilk kez “4-6 ay” gibi bir süreden bahsederek 2026'nın ilk yarısını işaret etti. CAATSA yaptırımları ile F16 ve F-35 alımları meselesinin 10 yıldır devam ettiğini belirten Barrack, Trump'ın Türkiye'ye yönelik yaptırımları “anlamsız” bulduğunu söyledi.

ABD Büyükelçisi Tom Barrack'ın tekrarlayan açıklamaları, hatta büyükelçiliğin resmi sosyal medya hesaplarından, “Türkçe-İngilizce” yayınladığı, “S400'leri atın, F35'leri alın” mesajları, Amerika'daki bu coşkunun neden şimdi yaşandığını merak ettiriyor…

What's Tom Barrack, the US Ambassador to Turkey, up to?

*Trigger Warning: SA and general depravity*A dive into some of the 20,000 Epstein emails and texts that were released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on November 12, 2025. They show convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein having lively conversations with a multitude of pathetic men. In this pod, we dive into the subject matter of those conversations and explain who those men are/were. From strategizing about Woody Allen's defense against revived sexual abuse allegations from his daughter (not the one he married), to making light of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, to advising married men in their quests to sleep with other women, the emails reveal glimpses of a perverted web of connections. Some of the most chilling messages are between Epstein and Steve Bannon discussing Russia, Hitler, the middle east, meetings that influenced Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation, and their consequent anticipation to overturn the Chevron case. Other Epstein buddies mentioned include Larry Summers, Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Larry Krauss, and Tom Barrack.

Ghost delivers one of his most sweeping geopolitical breakdowns yet, mapping out a rapidly shifting Middle East where alliances, conflicts, and power structures are moving faster than the mainstream can keep up. He begins by framing the week through his four essential lenses, Q, Devolution/Continuity of Government, the Sovereign Alliance, and Trumpomania, to explain why division, controlled friction, and political “kayfabe” are not signs of collapse but strategic components of a much bigger operation. From there, Ghost dives into the deepening fracture between Israel and Turkey, Netanyahu's escalating rhetoric, joint Israeli–Greek defense drills, intelligence leaks, and the quiet American hand shaping the region. He unpacks Jonathan Pollard's explosive influence inside Israel, Huckabee's controversial meeting with him, the nuclear brinkmanship behind Iran strikes, and why Netanyahu is openly preparing for the possibility of conflict with Erdogan. The episode then widens to Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, the Abraham Accords, and Tom Barrack's behind-the-scenes diplomatic influence, revealing how Trump-era alignments are reshaping the board. Ghost closes with updates on Congo, ISIS-linked operations in Africa, and the emerging U.S.–Russia peace structure designed to end the Ukraine conflict. A dense, global, razor-sharp hour of pure geopolitical clarity.

US envoys Tom Barrack and Morgan Ortagus were in Lebanon this week to restate a key demand: Hezbollah must disarm. The latest push from Washington came with economic incentives as Mr Barrack proposed the US becomes a “substitute” to Iranian influence. The Lebanese government agreed to disarm non-state groups this month but it wants guarantees that Israel will withdraw militarily from the country. Israel says it will not de-escalate until the disarmament process begins. This puts Lebanon in a difficult position. On the one hand it wants US financial support and for the Israeli attacks to end. On the other, it must convince a defiant Hezbollah and its sponsor Iran to lay down weapons. Without a strategic plan, the consequences could be grave for the country and the wider region. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher speaks to The National's foreign editor, Mohamad Ali Harisi, and Nicholas Blanford, an Atlantic Council analyst in Beirut. They discuss the challenges of disarming Hezbollah and whether the US and Israel would hold up their end of the bargain.

L'envoyé spécial américain Tom Barrack a annoncé à Beyrouth la création d'une zone économique au sud du Liban, financée par le Qatar et l'Arabie saoudite, destinée à offrir des emplois aux membres du Hezbollah qui accepteraient de déposer les armes.

For the first time in decades, Syrian and Israeli officials have held high-level face-to-face talks. This month’s US-brokered summit in Paris was attended behind closed doors by Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani and the US envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack. One of the key points on the agenda was humanitarian assistance for Syria's Druze minority following last month’s sectarian violence in southern Syria in which almost 2,000 Druze residents were killed. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Amir Khanifess, Chair of the Israel Druze Center. (Photo: AP)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US-mediated talks between Israel and Syria serve as a bellwether for the extent to which Israel can reshape the Middle East and impose its will on the region. They also are likely to indicate the degree to which US and Israeli interests diverge in Syria. Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Shaiibani and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a confidante of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, focussed this week on security arrangements in southern Syria in a round of talks in Paris chaired by Tom Barrack, the US Ambassador to Turkey and the Trump administration's Syria envoy. The talks were the highest-level meeting between officials of the two countries in 25 years and the first since the latest clashes in the southern Syrian city of As-Suwayda between the country's Druze minority, Bedouin militias, and Syrian security forces, and Israel's bombing of military targets, including the defence ministry, in the capital Damascus. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the clashes' death toll at 1,399 people, 196 of whom were summarily executed. Mr. Netanyahu dispatched Mr. Dermer to Paris following several meetings in Azerbaijan between Mr. Al-Shaibani and the prime minister's national security advisor, Tzachi Hangebi, that fuelled Israeli and US hopes that security arrangements could be a first step toward Syrian recognition of Israel. The Paris talks are likely to establish whether Israel can dictate to President Ahmed al-Sharaa where in Syria his military can operate and the degree to which Israel can successfully project itself as the protector of Syrian minorities, such as the Druze, a secretive monotheistic group based In Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel, and the Kurds in the north.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, what's going on in Syria is the ethnic cleansing and slaughter of the Druze by groups like ISIS, now operating under different names within the Syrian regime. Israel is the only county to help protect the Druze and Tom Barrack, an envoy to Syria, Turkey, and Lebanon, is a disaster for condemning Israel's defensive actions as complicating the situation. Barrack's stance motivates terrorists, and he needs to go. ‘On Power' discusses negative power, which is defined as coercion, control, and force, acting as the antithesis to individual liberty, consensual government, and civil society. It rejects biblical teachings of individual sovereignty and Enlightenment principles of distributed power, favoring centralized authority as seen in ideologies like Marxism, fascism, and authoritarian democracy. Wokeism is a modern authoritarian tool that enforces specific language and behavior, punishing non-conformity with social and professional consequences. Negative power dehumanizes individuals, viewing them as part of a collective to serve the ruling class or state, undermining personal well-being and autonomy. The whole point of the Russia hoax was an effort to delegitimize and destroy Trump's candidacy and presidency. Leaks from the FBI, Department of Justice, and intelligence agencies, along with a fabricated Steele dossier and a false narrative about Russia wanting Trump elected, were used to undermine him and DNI Tulsi Gabbard has the evidence. Barack Obama was aware of these efforts and ordered a misleading intelligence assessment to support the claims. Barack Obama orchestrated the Russia collusion hoax and his role was never questioned, nor was he investigated. Obama was the mob boss in the key December 16, 2016, meeting where Obama directed a new intelligence assessment falsely claiming heavy Russian involvement to aid Trump, despite prior assessments showing minimal, ineffective interference without Trump ties. There needs to be direct questioning of Obama under oath, without a special counsel, using Gabbard's documents, and re-questioning figures like John Brennan, James Clapper, Loretta Lynch, and James Comey about Obama's involvement. There's a fundamental rift in values and morals between those who champion limited government and individual sovereignty, and those who embrace an all-powerful state. It's the battle between positive power—rooted in defending institutions, the Constitution, separation of powers, and personal freedoms—and negative power, where the ends justify any means, leading to rampant abuses.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, what's going on in Syria is the ethnic cleansing and slaughter of the Druze and Christians by groups like ISIS, now operating under different names within the Syrian regime. Israel is the only county to help protect the Druze and Tom Barrack, an envoy to Syria, Turkey, and Lebanon, is a disaster for condemning Israel's defensive actions as complicating the situation. Barrack's stance motivates terrorists, and he needs to be fired. Zuhdi Jasser calls in to explain that the Islamist regime in Syria and its alliances with Iran and Hezbollah have fueled sectarian violence, targeting these minority groups. There needs to be greater attention to the suffering of Christians and Druze under Syria's government. Also, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents which revealed that Obama administration officials fabricated the Russia collusion narrative to undermine President Trump after his 2016 election win. These revelations confirm, again, that Mark Levin was right in 2017 when he first broke this news. Levin's March 3, 2017 broadcast was the key to everything, that all of the Obama government was being used against Trump. Later, USAID, the State Department and other federal agencies under the Biden administration let more than $900 million in taxpayer funds go to opposing PM Benjamin Netanyahu and to support terror groups. This is why trump got rid of USAID - it was a left-wing bank. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

ABD'nin Ankara Büyükelçisi Tom Barrack'ın, İzmir'in tarihî Kızlararağası Hanı'nda Anadolu Ajansı'na verdiği söyleşi basınımızda oldukça haklı gerekçelerle yankılandı. Bu söyleşinin İzmir'de yapılma sebebi belirtilmese de tarihî Kızlarağası Hanı ister istemez birtakım çağrışımlara sebep oluyor. İzmir tarihî İpek Yolu'nun son duraklarından biridir. Her ne kadar söyleşinin yapıldığı han sonraki dönemlerin eseriyse de İzmir'in Asya'ya doğru uzanan derinliklerini göstermesi açısından oldukça önemlidir. İzmir aynı zamanda bir liman şehridir ve bu yönüyle de başlangıç noktasıdır. Çoğu İzmirli gibi ben de 1993'te restore edildiği günden beri bu hana uğrarım.

Since President Trump stepped back into the Oval Office, Greece has been on the lookout for the arrival of a new US ambassador. While nominee Kimberly Guilfoyle has yet to go through her Senate hearing, the US ambassador in Ankara, Tom Barrack, seems to be charting a new course for US-Turkey ties. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition, joins Thanos Davelis as we break down why the US can not afford to be under-represented in Southeast Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:No US ambassador in AthensUS envoy signals restart in US–Turkey relations as F-35 thaw beginsSubsidy scandal shakes ruling party‘We failed': Mitsotakis addresses OPEKEPE scandal and party's roleGreece names new ministers after high-level resignations over farm scandalSevere heat wave hits southern Europe and raises wildfire risksFirefighters in Turkey battle to contain wildfires for second day

Since arriving in Ankara, US ambassador Tom Barrack has been thrown into the spotlight. Aside from his active role in Syria, reports indicate he is laying the groundwork for an Erdogan visit to Washington. If we take a closer look, however, the argument could also be made that he is seemingly promoting a number of Turkish positions across the board - from selling Turkey F-35s to presenting Turkey as an indispensable actor for regional stability. Now Israel's strike on Iran could throw many of these calculations up in the air. The FDD's Sinan Ciddi and Tyler Stapleton join Thanos Davelis to break all of this down.Sinan Ciddi is a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Turkish politics.Tyler Stapleton serves as director of congressional relations at FDD Action. He previously spent eight years working in Congress where he served as a senior advisor on national security, foreign policy, defense, and intelligence for two members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Israel and Iran Trade Attacks on 4th Day of ConflictPlans afoot for an Erdogan trip to the White HouseIran denies asking Cyprus to convey messages to IsraelCyprus on high alert as regional tensions escalateModi begins two-day visit to Cyprus, set to sign joint declaration on strategic cooperation

Emekli Kurmay Albay Ünal Atabay'a göre ABD'nin Ankara büyükelçisi Tom Barrack'ın ana hedeflerinden birisi, Türkiye ve İsrail ilişkilerini düzeltmek. ABD'nin YPG/SDG üzerinden Irak modelini sahaya sürmek istediğini kaydeden Atabay, Türkiye ve ABD arasında bu konuda ayrılığın sürdüğünü de sözlerine ekledi.

Trump'ın Ankara Büyükelçiliği'ne atadığı Tom Barrack'ın bir mesajı çoğu kimsenin dikkatini çekmiştir. Barrack, Avrupa ve ABD ile Şark dünyası, yani bizim Osmanlı coğrafyasının yüz yılı hakkında bir değerlendirme yapmış. Onun değerlendirmesinin giriş bölümü şu şekilde: “Batı, bir asır önce haritalar, manda yönetimleri, çizilmiş sınırlar ve yabancı yönetimler dayattı. Sykes-Picot Suriye'yi ve daha geniş bir bölgeyi barış için değil emperyal kazanç için böldü. Bu hata nesillere mal oldu. Bunu bir daha yapmayacağız.”

Amerika'nın Türkiye Büyükelçisi Tom Barrack'ın sosyal medya hesabından paylaştığı ‘Batı tipi nedamet' ile ‘verdiği sözler' ilgi çekiciydi. Herkes üzerine atladı. Biz de ucundan tutalım bakalım… Şöyle…

Emekli Büyükelçi Ahmet Süha Umar'a göre, Türkiye'nin 2011'den bu yana izlediği Suriye politikası, Türkiye'nin ulusal çıkarlarına hizmet etmiyor. Suriye'de ciddi bir belirsizliğin sürdüğünü kaydeden Umar, ABD'nin yeni Ankara Büyükelçisi Tom Barrack'ın Sykes-Picot açıklamasının ise maksadının iyi değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini vurguladı.
