The US role in the Middle East
The podcast episode discusses the unclear and zigzagging policy of the Biden administration towards the Middle East. The administration's approach towards Israel and Saudi Arabia has shifted over time, and there is criticism regarding Israel's actions during the recent crisis. Despite this, the US has maintained crucial policies in support of Israel's security, such as vetoing ceasefire attempts and providing vital ammunition.
