Amb. Dennis Ross with Warren Olney: Israel, Gaza and the Middle East: What Lies Ahead?
Q: What impact will Trump's mental state have on world leaders dealing with him?
In the Middle East, leaders prefer transactional relationships with Trump, while European leaders see limits in trying to ingratiate themselves. They may adopt a more collective response to his leadership.
Amb. Dennis Ross with Warren Olney: Israel, Gaza and the Middle East: What Lies Ahead?
Q: Is it realistic to think that anybody can disarm Hamas? Can actually Israel do that?
Israel can obviously weaken Hamas, but total disarmament is a different story. There are political pressures that can be leveraged to encourage Hamas to disarm, but outright disarmament may be unrealistic.
Abby Leibman & Bob Greenstein: The Politics of Hunger: How America Confronts Poverty in a Time of Crisis
Q: How much were the SNAP benefits increased during the Biden administration, and how does that compare to how much food costs have escalated?
The average benefit was increased by 21% during the Biden administration, reflecting adjustments to the Thrifty Food Plan, but it still remains insufficient.

Ambassador (Fmr) Michael McFaul and Larry Diamond | Autocrats vs. Democrats: The New Global Disorder
Q: What happens if we support regime change in Venezuela?
While supporting democracy is vital, the risks of military intervention are high. Peaceful means of pressuring the Maduro regime should be prioritized over invasion, which could lead to unintended consequences and casualties.
