How do we get back to the pre October 7th rapprochement of different actors in the region? How was the security architecture shaping up before Hamas’s attack on Israel? What is the role of leadership and how the regional and  global security architectures intersect? How can the West “win” the global South from China, by bringing the two global conflicts of our time, Ukraine and Gaza, to a fair and sustainable resolution?

Recorded at the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, this podcast presents an in-depth conversation on the future of Middle East security, featuring some of the top foreign policy and security experts of the region.
