The Briefing Room Global Tensions 1: The Middle East
Aug 8, 2024
Shashank Joshi, the defence editor at The Economist, Professor Lina Khatib, Director of the Middle East Institute at SOAS, and Dr. Burcu Ozcelik, a Senior Research Fellow at RUSI, explore the fraught landscape of the Middle East. They discuss the risks of wider conflict stemming from recent uprisings and the complex dynamics between Israel and Iran. With a focus on Hezbollah's capabilities, U.S. foreign policy's potential shifts, and the global ramifications of the Gaza conflict, the conversation is both timely and insightful.
