Dr. Ben-Meir hosts leaders from around the world in conversations that probe critical global issues and the policies our guests are designing to address them.
Join Ambassador Yasser Reda and Alon Ben-Meir for a conversation focused on President Sisi’s handling of terrorism in the Sinai and his collaboration with Israel in dealing with extremism sweeping the region. How has the relationship between Egypt and Hamas changed since the organization modified their charter? The conversation will also explore the strategy that Egypt and the Gulf states, along with Israel, are pursuing to confront the present and future Iranian threat. To what extent might the Trump administration be involved, given its new strategic approach to the region?
