Aaron Stein, president of the Foreign Policy Research Institute(fpri.org), shares his insights with us on the Israel-Hamas conflict. With as many critical issues affected by it, first and foremost the lives of the hostages and citizens on both Israel and Gaza, we wanted to find an expert to help us to better understand these turbulent and fast-changing events. For example, is the long negotiated U.S.-Saudi Arabian mutual security pact moving forward or in jeopardy? And will Israel join in this pact with Saudi Arabia to go along with long held treaties with Egypt and Jordan? Given that this would require a path toward a two-state solution is the Netanyahu coalition interested in that? What will the impact of this conflict be on President Biden and his re-election chances? We discuss all this and more on today’s podcast.
