In the wake of October 7, geopolitics in the Middle East have rapidly evolved, and the implications for Israeli security are significant. Former Israeli diplomat and Knesset member Ruth Wasserman-Lande, with expertise in Arab affairs, explores these dynamics alongside Eylon Levy, discussing Egypt's military expansion and peace treaty breaches, the contest for supremacy among radical Sunni and Shia factions, and the precarious situations facing Israel's neighbors. Wasserman-Lande raises concerns over Lebanon's sovereignty under Hezbollah, the volatility on the historically quiet Jordanian border, and the potential consequences of a two-state solution with the Palestinians. This exploration highlights not just the local, but global forces influencing Middle East stability.
