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.

SUMMARY:Dalia Ziada and Her Struggle Against the Muslim Brotherhood
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \nOn October 7th\, 2023\,  Egyptian-born Dalia Ziada summoned up the courage to honestly and objectively discuss the atrocities that befell the Israeli people\, and supported Israel’s right to defend itself. Because of this\,  the attorney-general had summoned her to the notorious Supreme State Security Prosecution to investigate her for committing the crime of “high treason\, and for “threatening Egypt’s national interests.” Since coming to the United States\, she  endured countless personal attacks\, which led her to the belief that antisemitism and hate is “not just local; it is transnational.” \nCome hear the story of a courageous national hero\, what she has learned about Islamist networks in the West and how they operate\, and the price that she has personally had to pay for this.

SUMMARY:The Status of Egypt in the Current Situation
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \n Our 20 remaining live hostages have finally been returned home. President Donald Trump spoke before the Knesset and was interrupted many times by standing ovations. Today we are triumphant that the hostages\, finally\, after two emotionally and physically brutal years will finally be returned to the loving arms of their families. \nStage I of the deal is over\, (although not all of the deceased have been returned for proper burials.) \nStage II awaits us. There will\, most likely\, be many bumps in the road. Hamas is not likely to give up its power without a fight. \nEgypt is one of the parties which had been tasked with mediating the dispute between the terrorist organization\, Hamas\, and Israel. The other two are Turkey and Qatar. \nTurkey\, under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan\, has made the most deplorable statements towards Israel\, just within this week. Without reference to the barbaric attacks of Hamas of October 7\, 2023\, Erdogan has accused Israel of “genocidal attacks on the Palestinians which are worse than Hitler’s”. He immediately praised the terrorist group Hamas for accepting Trump’s plan\, “clearly demonstrating its will for peace”\, and placing the entire burden of acceptance of the plan on Israel\, saying “peace is not a one-winged bird.” \nLikewise\, Qatar has been hosting Hamas officials in its capitol\, Doha\, since 2012\, and has been paying Hamas’ salaries in Gaza. It has provided a base for various Hamas leaders including  Khaled Mashal\, member of Hamas’ five-person leadership council; Khalil Al-Haya\,  the de facto leader of Hamas since the death of Yahya Sinwar in October 2024; and Mohammad Ishmael Darwich\, Chairman of the Hamas leadership council. Doha has been airing the highly antisemitic Al-Jazeera\, particularly its Arabic version\, that is aired throughout many regions of the world. \nEgypt has its own set of problems. It has allowed the construction of tunnels and of smuggling routes from inside Gaza to the Sinai Peninsula within Egypt. Within Sinai we have seen vast military maneuvers\, and between July 16th and August 25th\, there were 384 drone incursions from Egypt into Israel. \nToday\, and this entire week is a time for celebration. However\, \, one cannot help but be concerned if the results of this peace initiative  will endure for generations\, to come. \nHere to answer this is Dalia Ziada. \nAbout Our Speaker: Dalia Ziada\, Egyptian Scholar of Middle East Geopolitics and Washington Coordinator for the Institute of the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP)\, is an Egyptian award-winning writer and political analyst specializing in governance\, geopolitics\, and regional security in the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean. Dalia studied international relations at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy\, Tufts University\, majoring in international security studies. \nIn the past two decades\, Dalia held senior positions at regional and international think tanks and civil society organizations\, where she led projects\, advised policymakers\, and authored articles\, papers\, and books analyzing the geopolitical conflicts and power relations in the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean. \nSince April 2024\, Dalia has joined the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA) as a Senior Fellow for Research and Diplomacy on Arab-Israel-U.S. affairs. Meanwhile\, Dalia is working on a research project with the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) on the threat of radical Islamism in the United States. \nSince May 2024\, Dalia has been roaming American university campuses\, in partnership with Hillel International and other esteemed non-partisan organizations\, to lecture on the changing geopolitics of the Middle East in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks. \nDalia has earned several awards for the impact of her writing and activism. She has been globally recognized for her leading role as a civil rights activist in the Arab Spring revolutions of 2010-2011 and for her uncommon stance as an Arab Muslim intellectual against Hamas and in support of Israel following the October 7 attacks that Israel endured in 2023. Dalia has been active in the people-to-people Muslim-Jewish Dialogue and Arab-Israeli Dialogue for 16 years. She has also engaged in several political and cultural battles against political Islamists and radical Islamist groups in her homeland\, Egypt\, in Arab countries\, and in the United States. \nDalia authored the best-selling book “The Curious Case of the Three-Legged Wolf – Egypt: Military\, Islamism\, and Liberal Democracy” (2019) and other internationally acclaimed books dating back to 2006. Dalia’s next book project\, “The Coalition of Odds\,” explores the geopolitical and security structures of the new Middle East emerging from the regional reshuffle of power coalitions\, the impact of the Great Power Competition\, and the changing world order.
