SUMMARY:How is the Kurdish Minority Being Treated in Syria Under Abu Mohammad al-Jolani and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham?
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \nHow is the Kurdish Minority Being Treated in Syria Under Abu Mohammad al-Jolani and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham? \nHayat Tahrir al-Sham began during the 2011 Syrian civil war. It was previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra\, an affiliate of Al-Qaeda\, which was designated by the US Department of State as a terrorist organization in May of 2018. Currently Mohammad al-Jolani\, also known as Ahamd al Sharaa\,  has been conducting interviews\, such as the one given to the BBC\, saying “Now\, after all that has happened\, sanctions must be lifted because they were targeted at the old regime. The victim and the oppressor should not be treated in the same way.” \nHowever\, there are some real victims of Hayat Tahrir al Sham. What is happening to the Kurdish minority that is living in Syria? What about the Christians\, Armenians\, the Turkmen and the Circassians? What about the women? Will they be given the same rights as men living in Syria? How safe is America\, Israel and the West with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in power? \nAbout Our Speaker: Diliman Abdulkader is the founder of American Friends of Kurdistan (AFK)\, an advocacy and education organization established to strengthen\, protect and promote U.S.-Kurdish relations. AFK supports policies that advance the national security and prosperity of Americans\, Kurds\, and our other allies. Diliman comes from a foreign policy\, national security background where he invests his time on Capitol Hill\, educating lawmakers and staffers on the plight of the Kurds. Diliman received his M.A. at the American University in Washington\, D.C.\, in International Peace and Conflict Resolution.

SUMMARY:The Tectonic Shifts in the Middle East As President Trump Assumes Power
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \nAs the forces of the IDF have decisively crippled Hezbollah in Lebanon\, and as Damascus falls from the Iranian-backed regime of Bashar al-Assad to the Turkish-backed forces of Mohammad al-Jolani\, with his background in Jabhat al-Nusra\, (Al Qaeda in the Levant) and ISIS\, how will Iran respond? How is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responding to this new Syria? What are his new ambitions? Is Iran\, which has met with major defeats on their proxy battlefields\, lurching toward nuclear breakout? What could Israel do to prevent this? What should the United States and the West do? What sort of protection can the United States offer Israel against protection from the Iranian-backed Houthis?

SUMMARY:What Are the Ramifications and The National Security Implications of the Israeli Hostage Deal?
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \nWhile many of us are still feeling a sense of unbridled euphoria to see last Sunday’s release of Romi Gonen\, 24\, Emily Damari\, 28\, and Doron Steinbrecher\, 31\,  and the return into the arms of their loved ones\, we all have lingering concerns regarding the national security implications of this deal. \nHow many hostages will be released over the next 42 days\, and in what condition\, and in exchange for whom? Precisely which terrorists\, exactly\,  will be released from Israeli prisons in exchange for the Israeli hostages? What was the nature of their crimes?  How will this effect Iran\, and all of their terrorist proxies? Will this simply encourage the abduction of more innocent people\, in Israel and around the globe? Does Hamas regard the asymmetrical balance as a victory for their cause? How much of Hamas is left\, and will Israel be able to control the Netzarim crossing and the Philadelphi corridor? If there is a remnant of Hamas left that inspires other young Palestinians\, should this be\, in reality\, construed as a victory for the state of Israel? How will this effect the ongoing instability in Judea and Samaria? \nBrigadier General Amir Avivi is here to answer these questions and more. \nAbout our Speaker: \nAmir Avivi (born 16 April 1969) is a retired Israeli Brigadier General  at Israeli Defense Forces. He served as a military lieutenant at the Defense Establishment Comptroller Unit\, he is the commander of Sagi Brigade and the chief of Israeli general and politician Moshe Ya’alon. \nHe is a very well sought out speaker and expert\, who has appeared regularly on international news outlets. His outlook has made a great impression on policy makers around the globe. \nIn 2020\, he founded the NPO “Habithonistim” (הביטחוניסטים) which consists of mainly high-ranking members of the Israeli security forces\, and has been its leader ever since. In May 2023\, Avivi’s book We Will Not Go Back: How We Will Guarantee Israel’s Security for Generations (לא נשוב אחור: כיצד נבטיח את ביטחון ישראל לדורות) was published.
