Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 285 | Turkey’s regional game
Q: How would you assess current Iranian-Turkish relationships and what's been the Turkish approach towards Iran's nuclear programme?
Turkish-Iranian relationships oscillate between good and bad, with ongoing points of friction. Turkey aims to maintain a balance, opposing a nuclear Iran while considering regional stability.
Episode 285 | Turkey’s regional game
Q: What is Turkey's end game in Syria, and what are Israeli concerns about Turkey's influence there?
Turkey's interests in Syria are mostly self-contained, and while there are Israeli concerns about Turkey potentially replacing Iranian influence, the relationship dynamics are complex. Turkey's commitment to opposing a strong Iranian presence remains a key factor.
Episode 283 | Inside the Jewish Century
Q: Do you see relevance of the Jewish century thesis to Israeli foreign policy?
Yes, as the story of Israel evolves from one focusing on the Holocaust to now embracing 'rooted modernity' through technology and shared heritage with Arab nations, it influences foreign policy.
Episode 283 | Inside the Jewish Century
Q: What are the main messages or conclusions in your book regarding what the state of Israel needs to focus on?
The state of Israel, defined as a Jewish and democratic state, must grapple with what democracy truly means, while mainstream Israelis who wish to express their Jewish identity have yet to find opportunities to do so actively.
Episode 281 | Trump’s year in the Middle East
Q: How do you view the normalization with Saudi Arabia?
Normalization is complicated by Saudi demands for a pathway to a Palestinian state and other bilateral issues, which may slow down the process.
