Following a week of dramatic events ranging from Israel’s 3-day campaign against the Palestinians, the FBI raid of former president Donald Trump’s home in Palm Beach to Russia’s launch of an Iranian satellite against the backdrop of the renewed nuclear appeasement talks in Vienna, to increased cooperation between Israel and Turkey amidst apparent Turkish rapprochement with Iran and Russia, in this week’s News Hour I spoke with Michael Doran at the Hudson Institute. Mike served as a senior member of George W. Bush’s national security council.
Mike and I discussed the impact of polarized politics in the U.S. and Israel on international affairs. The fact is that in both countries, they have become the most important component of international developments. We moved to the implications of the caretaker government’s U.S.-centric framework for understanding regional politics. In our deep dive into regional and world events, Mike and I will take you on a trip across the world and into the minds of the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden to the ayatollahs in Iran and Turkish President Recep Erdogan.
