On Tuesday, Israeli news website Walla News reported that Russia requested Israel lobbies for a trilateral meeting with the US and Russia to discuss Syria. This follows increased Russian criticism of Israeli attacks in the country since the new government in Tel Aviv. The meeting reported having taken place on 9 September preceded a meeting between Putin and Asad in Moscow. Russia promised support for Asad's intentions of territorial control, especially in light of a Russian brokered deal, which saw a ceasefire being re-negotiated in the opposition-held city of Deraa.

Iran has signalled its ready to fully comply with its commitments under the 2015 nuclear agreement but only after the incoming Biden administration reinstates Washington's membership to the deal.
My guest this week is the busiest reporter in Israel, based on the amount and pace of scoops he publishes. Barak Ravid is probably the most well known diplomatic correspondent in this country. He worked for years in Israel's leading broadsheet Haaretz, then moved to TV - until he got fired, for reasons we'll discuss in our chat. He now works in two news organizations, Walla News here in Israel, and one of my favorite websites in the US: Axios.com.Not many people know the Mideast political and diplomatic arena like Barak does, and we get to talk about that, about media in Israel, about Trump's legacy and Biden's challenges, the way he works his sources and how he maintains a relationship with them, and he gives me a very honest answer to the podcast question about what should be between the river and the sea.I hope you enjoy it - and if so - share this episode!Support the show
