SUMMARY:The New Middle East as We Know It
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nAs the United States and Israel have waged war against the Islamic Republic of Iran\, we are watching the Sunni Arab nations joining in on the coalition. As early as February 28 2026\, \, the Islamic Republic has launched missile and drone attacks against all six Gulf Cooperation Council Countries—the United Arab Emirates (UAE)\, Bahrain\, Saudi Arabia\, Oman\, Qatar\, and Kuwait—retaliating against joint US and Israeli strikes. What had been struck was the Ras Tanura oil refinery in Saudi Arabia\, the Navy’s Fifth Fleet and the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bahrain\, the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait\, as well as the Kuwaiti International Airport\, the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar\, and the Port of Daqm in Oman. \nIs his the beginning of a new alliance in the Gulf? How long will this endure? \nHere to answer these questions and more is Dalia Zaida. \nAbout our Speaker: Dalia Ziada was born in Cairo\, Egypt. Her mother was a schoolteacher and her father was a  Lieutenant  Colonel Engineer in the Egyptian Armed Forces. Dalia authored “The Curious Case of the Three-Legged Wolf – Egypt: Military\, Islamism\, and Liberal Democracy”. Dalia studied international diplomacy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tuft University. Dalia was instrumental in the uprising that initiated the 2011 revolution against the regime of President Hosni Mubarak. Dalia had been named by CNN as one of the eight agents of change in the Middle East and by The Daily Beast as “one of the most fearless women in the world” for two years in a row. During the war between Israel and Gaza\, Dalia voiced strong support for Israel. Unfortunately\, this led to a strong backlash in her native Egypt\, resulting in threats to her safety and to her life\, along with accusations of espionage and incitement of war crimes. Dalia argued that Israel’s response to Hamas’ barbaric attacks\, aimed at dislodging the Islamist terrorist organization\, Hamas\, and securing the release of hostages\, was justified\, on Israel’s part. Because of this\, Dalia was forced into hiding\, and she sought refuge within the United States.
