and saudi arabia had ended the war in yemen in such a way that it actually maintained the superiority of the field in that open field for the benefit of america and israel, that is, the bloc of america and israel or the bloc that dominates the world was gradually becoming more powerful, more coherent, and communications they were getting stronger inside. on the other hand, there was the war in ukraine, and now it is because we are leaving the region, we have to see it in a global process, but for now, let's say it in the region , then we will go to the international narrative, but in the region , the balance of power has completely changed, which means that you can see that the ibrahim project has stopped, and it is highly likely that it will not go forward. it is very isolated, that is, from the process in which israel went towards the full legitimacy of full influence in international institutions and international relations, the process has been reversed. the process means that israel is extremely isolated. icj has entered the hague international court's restriction process for the

the road of saudi arabia budget has been, uh, might have been even more important because saudi arabia opened up the, its asked base to american, and possibly even uh, even is there any fighter jets them since 2022. some of these nations do have an agreement with is ro and the united states, although a part of the official about audi friends. and that's uh and the reason is very simple. saudi arabia the way, the jordan, and then you egypt to some extent, they see this growing springs off of the wrong and missed the program to. so even with that fear, very much front and presence. when you look at a figure like say jordan's king abdullah, you've mentioned also the strong public support within jordan and these countries for the place of the palestinians concerns about what is happening and gaza. when you look at jordan, how does he go about maintaining these ties? with israel and the west, well also putting at ease the minds of the public about what's happening and gaza. you know, there is a major difference between the between jordan and countries like saudi arabia or the way the althou

i don't have the same saudi arabia that you mentioned.di arabia has a very good relationship with the united states, but in the area of ​​russia , syria, the west asian region , it has disagreements with russia and china. should they disrupt their relations or cut them off, should their documents be made unenforceable? they want ambassadors and ambassadors . look, i want to say this as one. first of all, i will discuss the ideology in another place . you see, as an era, friendly countries have differences, because every country has a foreign ministry. he could not find a diplomat who goes and talks and reduces these differences and increases commonalities . we have strategic relations with china and russia . yes, yes. they are unhappy. the leaders are unhappy that we support the integrity of ukraine's currency in international forums and want an end to this war. we do not have similar positions with the russians in the caucasus region, but we are friends. you sit down and talk to each other, we will move forward with my work. regarding ch

that it ceases to be a factor of irritation for the entire middle east, that's why i named saudi arabia, because the jews there are understandable, it's written in the constitution, that throw all the jews into the sea, but there is a muslim, well, a sunni state, but the state of saudi arabia, they are also in this state. yes, in that triangle, then even a square, probably, because the americans also play there, and they have their own internes, and then we need to add more and the chinese, the russian federation cannot have much influence, these are such shadows, no, i wouldn’t say, not forgotten ancestors, because it’s a very good opening, okay, it’s not about the russian federation, so in that respect and, more closely, there 10 - 20 years and we will not see any changes, iran will remain. the threat, the main threat to not only to israel, but also to the sunni, as you said, that panaba sunni such a being, uh, saudi arabia is smaller in recent years, they are time, part of those before the abrahamic agreements, and they do so , allegedly not ho, unwillingly, allegedly so because of f

e, no saudi arabia or egypt or jordan would like to see a middle east dominated by iraq. so this is really a chance that jordan really defended itself and israel, it wasn't all that much of a surprise because jordan has the longest, the 2nd longest peace treaty after egypt with israel. their real surprise was saudi arabia to a certain extent, fox discreetly over the last couple of months. the men ever that with these tried to shoot a rockets. and besides not only add to commercially shipping, but many tried to shoot those into israel. sorry, baby has been very helpful, not only in providing great options, but also shooting down some of those. right. and, and you're saying israel is using the opportunity in your, the beginning of your answer to, to build a strong coalition of density. ron, some people are calling this a new arab israel axis. would you agree with this description by some observe this? i mean, we're not twice. yeah. that so there is a correlation to defend against or anything besides already in place. but what i'm saying is this is a child support as well an

arabia in inciting the protests that we recently talked about, that is , yesterday they blame saudi arabianks to china, that is, china has demonstrated that it is a full-fledged guarantor of such processes, and an economic guarantor, politically and diplomatically, it is ready to take on this role, i think if anyone can... become a guarantor in resolving the israeli-palestinian conflict, it is china and russia together with china. russia, why? because we also took a very balanced, very correct position, without supporting either side, we nevertheless insist on what we have always insisted on, this consistency is captivating, in fact, there must be two states, collectively. we do not accept responsibility, to the question of how we should fight, which is asked periodically in tel aviv, i always answer as follows: look at the special military operation, by the way, why... many in israel have taken such an openly anti-russian position, why israel became the refuge of all this liberal, liberal riffraff, in my opinion, for the reason that russia showed a third way, for decades israel has been f

like uae and saudi arabia would do things like employ former u.s. military officials to work for them after they leave the government. i think the two models are somewhat different. there is a level of political support for israel among the american public that does not exist for some of these other countries that are using these lobbying methods. host: the council for foreign relations has a chart that looks at aid to israel from 1946 to 2023. a good deal of it in military aid but also to egypt, afghanistan and south vietnam is topping the lists. talk about the other countries that get military aid aside from israel and ukraine and what is surprising about those countries that we are giving that to. guest: the aid program, over the years the big recipients have been israel, egypt, turkey for a while. about 25 countries get some of that money. a vast majority goes to the middle east. israel, egypt and jordan to some extent. there are other programs that can transfer arms. those programs could be worth another $10 billion or more. those are much less

, if the united states did not de facto deprive saudi arabia of its security guarantees, saudi arabiaould never have restored diplomatic relations with the islamic republic of iran with the help of china. but the united states has shown itself to be an unreliable ally in the middle east in a certain period, maybe it will change, or we hope that it will change, well, how is it to anyone, again, and the saudis were forced to normalize relations, and here it is very important, in fact, the idea of ​​the future, the idea of ​​the role of the united states in ... in the middle east, well, we can see how recently american politics has become feverish, and how advice from our overseas partners immediately begins to spread less in kyiv, the same in the middle east, let's go to iran then, to iran, well you, you listed who is harmed more by politics iran or israel? harms the politics of iran, the iranian ayatollahs. as far as we can believe, two attempts, powerful attempts ended in nothing, that is, i don't remember the penultimate one, the last one was literally a year ago, a year and a half a

jordan, saudi arabia, egypt, countries that took a direct part in repelling this attack.r maybe it's not strange at all. jordan, so it generally shot down flying objects with both its air defense and its aviation, saudi arabia has already officially announced that it transmitted data in real time from its radars to israel, which means, oh, these same flying objects, and egypt too took a certain part in this process, this allows us to speculate a little on the topic of the fact that it is still israel. return the situation to the state before october 2023 and continue to negotiate with israel, suffice it to say that, for example, the same saudi arabia, at the moment any pro-palestinian, let’s say, actions, even wearing the palestinian keffiyeh in some places are prohibited, so that simply no, no do not accidentally involve the same suudis in a more active discourse regarding the actions of the israeli authorities in gaza. iran's main target is not israel, but arab countries, saudi arabia, emirates and others. you intended to unite with israel against me, you wanted to weak

iran's main target is not israel, but the arab countries, saudi arabia, the emirates and... 2 weeks ago almost completely isolated internationally, as soon as iran used force, everyone again showed support for israel, including the us congress, even those who previously opposed military assistance in israel understand that this is an opportunity to regain sympathy from... the us and europe, without which it not enough. now even arab countries like saudi arabia and jordan openly declare: “we helped repel the iranian drone strike.” that is, israel needs to strengthen this prototype of a new alliance, not undermine it. and, of course, it is very important that now everyone is not talking about what is happening in gaza, not about israel’s military operation there. the conversation is only about what and how israel will do in response to iranian actions. thus, israel had a free hand to do what it wanted in gaza. iran not a loser either. the refusal to use proxy, of course, is a significant statement from tehran that any further settlement of the situation in the region, well, cannot do with

it flies in the weight of their history of feminism, to say they're going to go in the saudi arabia,f how much this tennis tournament can actually meaningfully change the culture and how much saudi arabia is willing to change its own culture to make concessions to host sporting is like wta, especially because wta, it's a women's, leading women's sporting organisation in the road, and was founded by lesbians, frankly, and has a large of the world, and was founded by lesbians, frankly, and has a large of ebt presence on tour, publicly -- lgbt —— lgbt presence... if the wta can effect meaningful change for saudi arabia and lgbt people there, they can see that as he could win, but it can see that as he could win, but it can also be seen as an currently naive to think that a tennis tournament can meaningfully affect change. but it could. if saudi arabia wants to make it's of attractive to worlds porting opportunities, it could change things for those cynical reasons, but they could be good changes. thank you so much for coming on the programme. thank you so much for coming on the programm

where is saudi arabia? are they star ally? is it even smart to call them an ally? well, i think they've always been a clause i ally, and it was in their interest to allow us to occupying build bases inside their territory to take care of the desert shield. desert storm situations got pointed out. but one of the things that 2 of the things that he didn't point out to just now or that we also lack, not just the capability to get this job done. if we go to war with iran, we lack the political will. if we had the political will, we would have destroyed the iranian command, control intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, ships that are out in the water. ating the who dees targeting and command control and which targets to hit. and we didn't, we chose not to do that specifically. so we don't have the political will, and if we were to get into an all out conflict under a rand proper, with all of the requirements that scott, just to lay it out, we would absolutely and utterly fail. and here's the re, the big reason why not just a political well as we don't have the mil

does saudi arabia have the road map to obtain the goals in 2030?> our focus is on non-oil growth non-oil growth is growing in most men tm momentum the forecasts say in 2025, the kingdom is the second fastest economy in g-20. we have been growing 5.9% in 2022 4.4% in 2023 the imf forecasts 5% and 5.1% for the year and year after. we believe that will help continue our diversification story. in 2023, for the first time, our non-oil activities amounted to gdp. our sectors are unprecedented. the kingdom set out to do unprecedented projects and has started delivering the projects. they have clear financing programs and they have clear timetables we will always prior pittitize t is best for these projects and the partners increasing in the terms of the interest and the saudi economy. >> why are we seeing mega flagship projects like the line being scaled back? >> all projects are moving full steam ahead. we are doing something unprecedented and we which deliver something that is unprecedented. we see feedback from the market and more interest from the inv

sorry, more yesterday tehran articulated and directly accused saudi arabia of inciting the protests,y they have reconciled, and this is thanks to china, that is, china has demonstrated that it is a full-fledged guarantor of such processes, and an economic guarantor, political and diplomatic, it is ready take on this role, i think if anyone can become a guarantor in resolving the israeli-palestinian conflict, it is china, and russia together with china. russia, why? because we also took a very balanced, very correct position, without supporting either side, we nevertheless insist on what we have always insisted on. and this sequence is truly captivating. there must be two states; we do not accept collective responsibility. to the question, how should we fight, which is asked periodically. openly anti-russian position, why israel has become a refuge for all this liberal liberal riffraff, in my opinion, for the reason that russia showed a third way, for decades israel has been fooling the world, saying that there is only this way. no more, the question is existential, dear friends, we s

the road of saudi arabia bunch has been, uh, might have been even more important because saudi arabia opened up a its asked base to american and possibly even, even is there any title jets them since 2022, some of these nations do have an agreement with is ro and the united states, although a part of the official about audi friends. and that's uh and the reason is very simple. saudi arabia the way, the jordan and the you, egypt to some extent. they see this growing springs off of the wrong and miss the program has middle east analyst kito stein back talking to us earlier. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world of israel's military has released footage. it says show strikes that killed 3 members of the hezbollah, militant group, and 11 on israel's as one of the dead was a commander involved in planning rocket, an anti tank missile attacks on its territory. israel and has belie, have regularly traded fires since the beginning of the war. and also george and lawmakers have advanced a controversial for an implant. as long as the sparked mass street p

so it went up quite substantially after october 7th, so it's gonna be hard a hard sell for saudi arabia, which is not a democracy in the first place, tak taken from what you are telling us, madame, and according directly to the results of the survey conducted by the palestinian center for political and survey uh research in damala, they said that support for hamas in the west bank alone tripled compared to before the war, and that's just a survey that's done on a regionals on national sc if it's done on a regional scale for arab uh world or for the muslim world, but that's say let us say with the arab world, it's done inside of the arab world and we ask the same questions, it would be a sweeping result in favor, in support of hamas, where did the western sionist israel go wrong here uh when it came to at least controlling the narrative? you know that's actually very interesting, the poll i was talking about with saudi arabia was was a washington institute poll, so it was conducted by the americans. and that showed a a three times jump in support for hamas since october 7th and i think t

has a different story, we have not received any letters of refusal from our colleagues in saudi arabiave participation in the unification, as they say, it’s not evening yet, there’s a parliamentary forum coming up, and the most important thing is coming... we absolutely respect both the choice of saudi arabia and the choice of any of our other potential partners, if when they again indicate their interest, welcome it’s a shame if for some reason this doesn’t happen, but the association will still exist, live, develop, grow with new members, and if it’s a little bit in this direction or a little bit in another, it won’t change the main vector of development , and this is the direction of development towards a multipolar world order. which, in fact , is now represented in miniature, but ultimately, i am sure, will be represented in the widest possible format by the brix association. well, you said, from 30 to 40 countries that are ready, so to speak to join brix, and what do they expect from this association and in general, in your opinion, what is the future of brix, will there be some

in the middle east, by the way, saudi arabia is also slowly joining the ranks, again we remember their which mr. biden protested, the united states pressed wildly, but saudi arabia decided that it would face difficult economic times with millions of barrels of cheap oil in its pocket, somehow wrong, does not correspond to the national interests of the kingdom, they did what they did, then, well, china certainly, china definitely. iran a long time ago, that is, the club is expanding, latin america, too. and svo is an indicator. today, by the reaction to russia’s special military operation in ukraine, you can understand who is in the club, who is on the way, who is dreaming, who cannot yet, but will definitely take advantage of the first opportunity, about opportunities, by the way. remember the jcpoa, the joint comprehensive plan of action that was concluded, the obama administration accepted everything, then trump came and destroyed everything, yes, so, the very opportunity i’m talking about arose, remember the reaction of the europeans, how they rushed to iran, how they grabbed this o

a bunch has been, uh, might have been even more important because saudi arabia opened up a its asked base to american and possibly even even is brand new title jets them since 2020 to some of these nations do have an agreement with this row and the united states, although a part of the official about audi friends. and that's uh and the reason is very simple. um, saudi arabia, the way, the jordan, and then you egypt to some extent, they see this growing springs off of the wrong and me so the program let's get her signed by speaking to me earlier. we can bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines as well as military has released footage, it says that show strikes. they killed 3 members of the hezbollah militants, group, and 11 on israel's as one of the dad was a commander involved in planning rocket and anti tank missile attacks on its territory. israel and has the law have regularly traded fire since the beginning of the gods of war. now, mars military government says former leader on sinus to she has been moved from prison to house arrest. so she was a jail by the

everyone totally speaking and saudi arabia with palestinian president in judged against it, history of the palestinian people. we emilio, why we appeal to the united states of america to ask israel to stop the russell operation. because america is the only country capable of preventing israel from committing this crime. he does. yeah. the us has previously said it could not support a russell operation without a credible humanitarian plan. or israel sees it is scaling up a deliveries into gaza with plans for a new ocean delivery car doors together with the united states central command. we're working on a temporary, married time, peer known as j lots, which stands for joint logistics over the shore. a deliveries via a continues to bring some desperately needed supplies. she managerial groups one, it's not enough with hunger wide spreads and a looming risk of famine for many and gaza. data of the corresponding tobacco data, i was just following developments from jerusalem. she told me more about what to expect from anthony blinking status to visit in south area as well. this is anthony v

the poll i was talking about with saudi arabia was was a washington institute poll, so it was conducted by the americans and that showed a three times jump in support for hamas since october 7th, and i think that the reason is that in the past where we've seen hamas conduct attacks against israelis, it's really been like superficial, they haven't really have been effective, but this time. there was a real like they really showed themselves to be a resistance organization and lot of that is because of the of backing by iran rather than qatar. qatar uh was trying to turn hamas into sort of a pa where they just pay them off and in order for them to never fight the israelis who are constantly pretending uh under the table or in whispers that they might uh be talking of peace but while they talk of peace of course they plan for war and the people are not blind. they know what's up and you know the notion that the americans think that they can subdue the palestinians and their opinion by bruit force and bombs is the miscalculation here because they thought if they could destroy and demolish u

, here and there already to start. remember these same 100 patriots of their own in saudi arabia, themy transferred many patriot installations there, not to mention other countries. roughly speaking, to greece, when it was necessary, she sent two patriot batteries there for free and did not tell us to exchange them for new ones, please, as she does it with us, er, great britain threw something there, and some of air defense means, other countries of the west, roughly speaking, there, an even greater mass of forces and means could not cope when the yemeni houthis carried out. combo shots with those cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones, it is true that the intensity was somewhat less there, but nevertheless, the question still arises there, well , firstly, who learned from whom, and secondly, well, let's put it this way, some of the commentators she simply did not follow this process and now she is issuing some incomprehensible conclusions under the seal, if they are told about the entire history of conflicts between putin's russia and iran, starting, let's say, from
