From Israel to Iran, Donald Trump thought he could reset the Middle East. His fixation on the region defined the last four years of US foreign policy. But what will Biden's presidency mean for America and the Middle East? Senior policy fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute Michael Stephens talks to Arthur Snell about oil, oligarchs, and outbreaks – and if Trump's unorthodox approach has actually secured some wins…“Arab states are recognising Judaism as part of their cultural identity. You wouldn't have seen that ten years ago.”“How Biden deals with Iran will set the tone in the Middle East for the next four years. From there, all else flows.”“Al Qaeda and ISIS have not gone away. People forget that there's still war in Syria.”Presented by Arthur Snell. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson.

With less than a week to go before Israel's next parliamentary elections, the fallout from the Trump administration's Middle East plan continues. The latest polls show that almost 95% of Palestinians reject the plan, while nearly 50% of Israelis believe it amounts to US intervention in their elections to help Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party win over the opposition on March 2nd. Since the plan was unveiled at The White House weeks ago, it has been been criticized by Pope Francis for its ""inequitable solutions"" which he warned could be a prelude to new crises. Here in the US, Democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders has announced his decision to boycott AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby's annual meeting in Washington next week, saying he is ""concerned about the platform AIPAC provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights"". So, is Trump's Middle East plan a serious effort at peace-making between Israelis and Palestinians? Or a crude attempt at bolstering his and Netanyahu's re-election campaigns?

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his peace plan to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The plan, overseen by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, was three years in the making. Even though it has been praised by Trump as the ‘deal of the century’ and has been backed by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it has been condemned by Palestinian leaders who say it's an insult. Today, Columbia University Arab Studies professor Rashid Khalidi explains his views on the plan and what the future holds for the region.

Once decrying Bolton as having a "lack of credibility", Schiff and democrats are now call his testifying "essential." Yes, Bolton's lack of credibility is essential for making the case the Democrats don't have against President Trump.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable discussion. Friday, January 31, 2020 is bound to go down in history in the United States and around the world as the day that Donald Trump was acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial. The GOP has closed ranks and is refusing the demand from Democrats and over 70 percent of people in the United States polled that witnesses should be heard, including John Bolton. Will this be seen as the death knoll for U.S. claims of being a democracy? What are the implications for the nation? What are the implications for people around the world, who don't get to vote for the U.S. president, but given the military and economic might of the U.S., know that this will have a big impact on their lives? On Tuesday, January 28, Trump announced his so-named deal for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. He called it "The Deal of the Century." Palestinians are calling it the "Slap in the Face of the Century." What is in the deal and who will benefit? We also weigh in on stories that have gotten short thrift in the media. Our panelists are Jackie Goldberg, Laura Carlsen and Dr. Gerald Horne.
Impeachment hoax risks abandoning our constitutional system of government for a parliamentary system, where policy disagreements become the basis for removing a president. Trump wants to end the Cold War mentality which has bound the U.S. to one war after another and pits great powers against each other, his opponents want conflict, and will stop at nothing to maintain their status quo. It won't stop until this crowd is fully defeated. Every weekday morning Harley will brief you on what you need to know to start your day.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Donald Trump is expected to announce his Middle East peace deal, after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has now been charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases. Our guest is Phyllis Bennis, who directs the New Internationalism Project at The Institute for Policy Studies, focusing on U.S. Middle East and war policy. Her most recent books include Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict and Understanding ISIS and the New Global War On Terror. We get an update on the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Former White House national security adviser John Bolton wrote in an unpublished book manuscript that Trump refused to release military aid for Ukraine until the country provided investigative information on his political rivals. This has caused waves across Washington D.C. and in the hearing itself. Our guest is John Bonifaz, Co-Founder and President of Free Speech For People. Also, the movement for a stamp to remember Bayard Rustin, the controversial civil rights leader who was sidelined, many say, because he was gay. Our guest is Lauren Buisson, the West Coast Director of the National Bayard Rustin Stamp Committee.
