yes and there's a certain escalation in this so-called proxy conflict between iran and riyadh for many years it's gone sort of heated up and cooled off and i think it was more of a cold war for a long time but for the last two and a half years it certainly escalated with the with the coming of. prince mohammed bin defense minister in the beginning of two thousand and fifteen i think we saw more of the escalation in yemen and the likes what we're also seeing in escalation from iran through from iraq through syria and on to lebanon and all in all i think iran wants to build on what it considers to be victorious expansion of its influence in its neighboring countries like iraq syria lebanon and so on i think so eurabia wants to fend off iran and iranian influence especially in its immediate surroundings like in yemen and hence we are seeing both regimes escalating their their tensions their conflict and really demanding the various countries sovereign nations of the region to take sides are you with iran or are you with saudi arabia . i think many people are probably sitting at home think

france germany they're all urging the escalation is saudi arabia going it alone here who are their allies. as i said i think politically political messaging can be as good torie while you actually don't do really anything so i think if we compare donald trump's tweets and reactions to this and the state department's statements today you can see a big difference in how people who just care about political messaging seem to like this when they were alive with crown prince behind the fence on the side to review those who actually do diplomacy those who actually do security politics me to call for caution and so i assume this is what we're all states should do in order for to not see this further escalate when we talk about the situation in lebanon specifically and saad hariri is it a matter of he can't go back to lebanon or he won't well that's a big that's a big question here a lot of people are saying he's basically held under house arrest well they're saying he's free to move but should not go back to lebanon i have to be honest here i simply cannot assess what's more accurate i think fra

what do you make of this escalation and where the escalation was exactly the sinai?t part of sinai has long been the object of a brutal campaign by successive egyptian presidents. just to give you an example in 2004 under president mubarak, after attacks in south sinai, egyptian police arrested at least 3000 people, tortured many of them in north sinai and took women and children as hostages. we have had this awful pattern of atrocities committed in north sinai by the security forces and this delusion by egyptian regimes including this statement today by the president that this can be stamped out military. this is an unwinnable war, this is a part of egypt that has long been marginalised and neglected and security forces whether it is the police under president mubarak or the military under mohamed morsi and now president sisi has long designed the tribes there. we have to find another way of dealing with that. that has led to the ups well of the islamist insurgents, that is what you are saying? rather than them saying we want to establish a caliphate for itself. wha
