we don't really have a mission on the sand in the middle east right now. and those troops should have been pulled out of there. years ago. there should never have been american troops without the approval of congress in syria where they are still to day. then every regime, every, every administration is responsible for not doing the right things that lead to the desk. so those 3 soldiers, now we, it's debatable about the, you know, the us navy task force that with the coalition now trying to protect for most or shipping in the red sea, from the who, the terrorist and iranian backed, of course. but when we even be there at all with our naval fleet, if we didn't still say that we needed to do things like keep vices from recreating itself after the trump administration completely destroyed it or protect those oil fields in northern syria, protect them for who, from who i mean, they're not doing us any good. and it just raises the, the issue in a positive life. but why we should be going back to being energy dominant because is none of these places really matt

what about the middle east?ght, so we are looking into our main focus, japan and southeast asia but we also have a market where if we see other opportunities we would invest and middle east would be third region we will look into. within middle east we are quite excited about ai as the government in middle east has decided to invest in infrastructures of ai within middle east. they have special barrier to entry so for middle east we will focus on ai. annabelle: what returns are you targeting? guest: can you repeat the question? heidi: what returns are you targeting? rei: right, yeah. we are targeting three or four in terms of the return in 10 years. more than 30% irr because we are just using our own proprietary capital rather than fundraising from other externals, we will have flexibility into investing longer-term. so we will be very flexible without we keep our portfolio companies. haidi: courageous quickly, what size are you planning to make? in each of the different companies? rei: when it comes to the stag

something else, but they cannot ignore it, this is the paradox of the current situation in the middle eastd at most 15% , if you collect them all, they are quite different from alovitov, yes. and so on, became the dominant force not only in the middle east, throughout the muslim world, it established itself, having significantly less economic military potential, incomparably less, because what is it, on what is iran’s military doctrine based, drones, missiles and means well, unfortunately, they have piloted aircraft, it’s more different, they have it weakly, hypersound has already appeared, well, this is hypersound, i ’m talking about missiles, which means it means... a very interesting factor, yes, they managed to not in two decades to create a situation in which the united states and the main soviet israel found themselves in a dead end, now i’m sorry, just interesting news came, erdogan, while the western powers support netanyahu, it is impossible to stop the massacre in palestine, i openly say that our world is waiting for new conflicts if zionist expansionism in gaza continues. poor e

countries in africa and the middle east are taking gold reserves from the united states. since the beginning of the year it has already made by nigeria, south africa, senegal, algeria, saudi arabia. dmitry morocco will talk about the reasons for such a massive repatriation of the precious metal. dmitry, hello, what is this connected with? yes, alexander, greetings, the reason is a loss of confidence and concerns about the stability of the us economy. the american ford knox is rapidly emptying, more and more countries are deciding to withdraw their gold reserves from the us vault, which for decades was considered the most reliable. reason for concern about economic stability u.s.a. according to official data, the value of reserves in the united states is $657 billion. of these , the states themselves directly own the metal in the amount of 429 billion, the rest is the property of other countries, which historically stored it there for the sake of security, as well as to increase liquidity, because the largest transactions with the precious metal are made on the new york st

moment underscored by the fact that jake sullivan, the national security adviser, has been in the middle east east trying to conclude an agreement. a three-way agreement with saudi arabia and israel, and the us in effect to create kind of tilt the axis in the region into a regional alliance against iran. and this is saudi arabia has put out positive statements about how close the agreement is but the critical piece, of course, israel reaching its own agreement with the palestinians. and they're being great turmoil in israel about that. so you have so many movie in pieces is at once that the prospect of further instability in iran, if in fact there, i guess now there does have to be an election. and who knows how that will play out in terms of allowing domestic discontent to surface. there. i mean, all of this is there are a lot of balls up in the air right now for the biden administration and really not only for the biden administration, but for all the players in the region at the time when you wanted to have a clear view, right? of what you thought was possible? the bowl in iran, what you t

yeah. his other middle east allies? yeah, the middle east _ his other middle east allies?his other middle east allies? yeah, the middle east allies of _ his other middle east allies? yeah, the middle east allies of the - his other middle east allies? ir—u the middle east allies of the united states has, they have all been consistent and wanting to see an immediate cease—fire and also consist in wanting to see the creation of a palestinian state eventually. that's their condition for support for rebuilding gaza once this war is over, but that's their condition for years now. the problem is you have gotten government in israel that refuses to do two things. one, it is not actually have a clear plan to define what end state they want inside gaza. this is cause for consternation within their own security system because people who are working in the military are really worried that they don't have an answer the question of how does this end. in the second challenge is you've have gotten government in israel that has rejected a state of palestine. and that's at odds with what sa

our topic today is complex, painful, the middle east, roots, well, about modern affairs we won’t talkry... often omit the question that the roots go very, very deep, one thing was strung on another, so let’s remember the history of how it all began, well , we won’t go into ancient history at all, although it’s probably worth recalling that for many centuries the muslim east was more tolerant of jews than europe, especially western europe, with its pogroms and deportations of jews. let's try to find it. interests of very different parties collided, not only palestinians or jews, but there were intertwined in the middle east primarily because of oil, uh. the interests of great britain, the usa, the soviet union, and a number of other western countries are intertwined. at the end of the first world war, british troops under the command of fred marshal allenby defeated an ottoman army group defending palestine, which had previously been part of the ottoman empire for four centuries. and the british took jerusalem, and, by the way, allenby, as a sign of respect, did not enter jerusalem on

leaders of what is going on in the middle east.ld is looking for strong leadership. going all the way back to august of 2021, what the world saw what joe biden was weak leadership. one of our friends general said anybody that thinks iran is not the center of all the turmoil going on throughout the middle east and the part of the world that is being funded by china and the purchasing of the oil from iran to keep their machine going is sadly mistaken. now what you have is joe biden and his administration basically condemning the israeli front calling on war crimes for the divisions that have been trying to, you know, go back and protect their country. we have not seen anything like this since the 1930s. what we need to have happen right now is a president needs to stand firm with netanyahu. he needs to help him eradicate hamas and bring back piece in the middle east and peace in israel so they know that they can count on us to be with them every step of the way. >> i just think, though, brian, they really don't want an israeli victor

i a total of from a name and she is his strategy of supporting proxy forces across the middle east. i a total of how many has declared 5 days of public morning and said the vice president mohammed must bear, would act as president. knew elections must be held within 50 days. ron's cabinet has held an emergency meeting, assuming they would be no problem with the management of the country, and vowing to follow ray easy to join. now, by political analyst allie told a new job, director of the berlin base, the think tank the center for middle east and global order. it is good to have you on the program tonight. so we're seeing pictures coming from t rowe on this evening, showing people taking to the streets people morning publicly the death of their president. that's the official with narrative. is that the complete narrative slow? no, it is not. it's of the narrative that is, proclaims and propagates as by the states. and as you know, over at least the last decades there's been imagining an amount of golf. it's not a reversible one between states and societies. so there are elements wit

happy to answer the question, if i may come back to the middle east, despite the fact that we don't want to go to the middle, one of the things that we make very clear in the book is that behind all the troubles in the middle east is iran. iran its with its policy causing instability to supporting terrorism in the form of hamas, hezbollah, who is in in iraq, syria. so that's the nefarious force in the middle east. and we need to address that. the we did in the in the trump administration through extreme economic pressure. so they they have money to support the terrorist that are causing the massacre in october attacks on shipping in in the red sea and all these issues but coming now to your to your question what do we with the axis of evil? the first thing we need to do is to recognize there is such a thing. and i think it's important then to figure out how they work. there is no alliance. there is an alignment. what an entente as some people call, and we need to counter them with all the tools of statecraft. in the case of iran, north korea and russia, it's mostly military. that's how t

it is completely isolated being the middle east. it has to be of war with its neighbors ever since its foundation that isn't likely to change any time. so america is on board, is that and then you exchange from nothing. so in right, good, isolated. so, and for a for goes, that's actually the chief, nothing for the united states. so now it's, it's, are issuing threats against me until i feel criminal court. doubtless it goes us up issue and threats against age and i for the board of justice and bid that stands in the way all american global hatred. whenever you guys are a bunch of bowers, who are more than happy to be american ply and states do with america's bidding, but not on this issue, particularly in the middle east on this extra bit by calling follow the united states. so describe an ex road rate that of the self inflicted wounds that the united states. but in fact it probably was still the deep one. let me take even more dangerous for it. so, oh, you know, and because martin, if me in israel does what it does, because it deal

george, this is, this is impacted the greater middle east. amazingly, because you have the, the, we have israel was within the context of a cold hor rivalry when that disappears. that's when it became actually far more dangerous, because israel, because they've been sense of impunity, would be able to pursue with goals, go back to the westbank for example, and now attacking causal repeatedly. if we'd been in a cold war environment, it's doubtful that would have happened george. so that's exactly right. and this is very interesting because if you go back to the cold war mentality, it was really henry kissinger who defined the issues in the middle east in terms of the cold war. somehow. israel is the look the west league. they've been living cyber lied, or, you know, waging a, so the, its sponsor and the western the world. and of course, it was nonsensical names, nonsensical at the time. and the science makes mix of did not agree with that analysis of the middle east, west of the, his secretary of state. william rogers did not think of that view, but that was case. and you, again, he kind

, i think everyone was shocked, not just the middle east. but also the whole world, because iranon, including in the confrontation with the west, which has bristled against it for several years now, applying these powerful sanctions, and iran did not bend, this blow, which was dealt to the very heart country, he showed what the whole... the west is the sworn enemy of iran and the whole good world, and look how not only reacted. but we feel with you in the light of the latest tragic events in the international arena, when several leaders have already been subjected to terrorist attacks, that there is some kind of political background here, which may, so to speak, continue in other countries, but in relation to other leaders, so if it was a blow from... me, then the enemies of iran need to keep in mind that iran will be more united, because this tragedy unites the people, if this is an attempt, so to speak, by the internal opposition, there is some kind of participation, then that’s it equally, i think, here is a strong unified leadership, the top leadership of iran will not allow

or the failed efforts at middle east peace making.r what he thought he knew, was that there was a big deal that was looming out there and that if you could make it, you'd get a nobel peace prize and the deal of the century. >> narrator: trump surrounded himself with a team that included his son-in-law jared kushner, who was a family friend of netanyahu, and david friedman, a controversial figure who supported israeli settlements. >> you had these advisors on israel, all of them jewish, all of them strong supporters of israel, none of them with any particular background in negotiation in the region in terms of peace talks, but with very, very developed positions and points of view. >> he was anxious to see if there could be a peace deal reached between israel and the palestinians. i will tell you candidly, i, i was skeptical of that from the beginning. >> at the white house, netanyahu has been full of praise for the president. >> narrator: just one month into his term, trump invited netanyahu to the white house to discuss the possibili

and the mix of did not agree with that analysis of the middle east. so suddenly that his secretary of saint william rogers did not think of that view, but that was case and you again he kind of voice that this idea onto the united states. that's the reason why we're providing israel with this up on question on the remaining support is that israel is fighting the cold war against soviet aggression. all now they have moved, they get them because once a cold war ended, you have to invent new things. and so even as they is law, make a g. huh. then the global islamic revolution, now it's about the work is a global work is um and israel is in the full front of the 5 or is, or at least people get into fights with national silver entity. and your gains. globalism is always something new. the sides that be as well as in the leader of because it isn't then it's just a way of avoiding ever talking about what google serial issues are in the middle east. and that's, and that's why on this, it goes on is that, you know, everything venting these uh new etiology is w

how do you see the middle east shaping up in 2025?uess what would be your advice for a second trump term e to be reelected now. well thank you so for having me and i want to add that i had the pleasure of working in the biden administration, the trump administration an obama or clinton, bush and reagan. so from from reagan to trump, it is a really interesting pathway to be looking at or reviewing it were, you know, the challenge and it was wonderful policy and a wonderful achievement to get the abraham accords don't think you will find anyone who won't give props to that i was one of the high achievements of the trump administration. that there was a fundamental flaw in the thinking about hind it and that you could move forward with all of these countries and ignored the palestinians and that is what is tripped us all at this point to to state it very lightly. the key as well as a block to expanding the abraham accords and really having them cemented and enriched goes to palestinians treatment the gaza strip and the day after this is

and middle east means might makes. right? hm. so does that mean that all the pressure coming from, from its allies, as well from the us from france, doesn't make any difference to israel at this point as well. he has said quite explicitly, actually on holocaust memorial day, if we have to we will stand alone and he was referencing world war 2 and he said, you know, there are times when great power stood idly by. and i think there's a little bit of a rib, a little bit of a job to the united states for not standing by or helping the u. k. as much as they could have perhaps during the bullets. i mean, this is all, i'm interpreting his words. you know, it's a kind of with or without you moment for him and yes, it's to save his own political future. but i do think that he really believes that if he can get back, you know, he's almost like a man trying to slow walk up a down escalator if he can make it to the top that will justify it all. and he keeps saying a little more time, i think the way that he could potentially throw

interested in... being destabilized by russia, so that iran can acquire nuclear weapons, and the middle eastes into chaos. so we need to work with china to bring peace. i hope that china will support the olympic truce and be committed to combating the proliferation of nuclear weapons, in particular with a view to tightening the framework vis-à-vis certain powers. but in the meantime, there is also unrest there in the united states; more than 160 people have been detained in the past. day during demonstrations palestinian activists in american universities, demonstrators were taken to police stations for illegally trespassing on campuses , and resistance escorts were detained. washington is officially monitoring the situation, but has no intention of changing its position on the middle east conflict. artyom krosulin will tell you the details. detain pro-palestinian activists who have taken up residence on campus. columbia university. to accomplish this task, the nypd entered the complex through a window on the second floor. resistance protesters are not provided. a few hours later, more than

so they're going to turn the midwest into the middle east.years how the government works with refugee organizations to concentrate these flights to transform the midwestern states specifically. that's where i believe you will see that concentrated. to your point, mark, this is this is not a pleasant fact. this is not something that we enjoy talking about. it's not something that brings us any pleasure. it just is what it is. the population in the gaza strip has been indoctrinated since the day they were born to import that ideology, that violence, that hatred, that enmity into our own cities is not just madness, but it is pure malice. it is pure hatred of america and americans. the neighboring states will not take gazan migrants. the neighboring states that share the same culture and language, not specifically the gaza culture, but but share the same historical background. they won't take refugees from that region, and yet they're going to bring them into the united states, because people who live there, people in egypt, understand, people in

what are your plans in the middle east and now?east market is very interesting market. the capital market is growing very fast. for instance, the saudi etf, only has nine etf's, total size is around 150 million u.s. dollars. that's a small, but we see huge potential over there. last year we bring the saudi etf to the hong kong socket chain. maybe later shanghai and shenzhen. also, we try to be a bridge, two way traffic, we also like to bring investment opportunities, from hong kong and china to middle east investors. so we do a lot of groundwork to do that. yvonne: are you planning to have etf's purely focused on just saudi or are you looking at other gulf countries? the hong kong exchange has been flirting with abu dhabi, qatar, dubai exchanges, and a potential for those markets? ding: we are doing research and talking with local panels trying to look at opportunities from those markets. also, a lot of their local institutions approach us trying to have collaborations with us as well. yvonne: there has been reports that the csop e

in the middle east, in order to understand the middle east, you have to understand that the major, majorthe israeli—palestinian conflict. it a conflict between the shia and the sunni. we saw what happened in afghanistan, in iraq, we saw what happened in lebanon, they are killing each other in syria. the israeli and palestinian conflict has nothing to do with it. people here in the middle east are killing each other. foi’ so many reasons. for identities. so we have to understand that the only way we are not losing, the only way for all of us, for all palestinians — palestinians want to have a palestinian state and their identity, yes, most of them, 75%, 80% of them, they want to see it as a democratic state. but they do not want to lose their identity, their symbols, their language. we are almost out of time, mr ayalon. i need to ask you one more basic question. you are three years older than the state of israel. right now the state of israel is not listening to voices like yours. do you believe that your own country right now is on a pathway to potential self—destruction if it continues

he's produced hundreds of reports on was in the middle east. he's met with islam and you had his lead as many times and knows exactly how weapons get into their hands. because she home a lot of people who seem to kind of a way to go down and holding with them and getting the new. so the, the home mom and that is what i mean, but only feel in the mean. the minutes can have you come off the news sort of you read vaughn was shown to the arms of traffic to the middle east, mainly from ukraine. his findings are corroborated by the largest dealers in the region, nominal facility or some of those other slash fremont thought the easiest you to know, you know, so let us know. we have more of an easy somebody mobile bubble showed. well, nice to have to kinda had a few seconds and then what i'm using i don't know much of a diff, holland i mean somebody can, i think of them in the someone with someone who knows how long it'll thank them the best we can to them and that was a level need to bring something up and move them for the moment that the arms dealer

this is all happening at a volatile time within the middle east.ow big of a power vacuum does the passing of the president leave within not just iran, but also the middle east? >> as far as iran is concerned, there is a process which dan was explanation a moment ago that an election will be held to come up with a new president within 50 days. of course, we all know it is not a free and fair election like here in the west, but there is a process in place. i think the iranian regime, whatever the calls from younger people for a more liberal environment, whatever they may be, the regime is strong enough to engineer the kind of result that will cement it in power for the foreseeable future. as far as the middle east tensions are concerned, i doubt it will have a significant impact and certainly not in any interest to any way to portray this accident as being anything else. you referred earlier to the senator schumer receiving intelligence advice this is an accident and not foul play. it is not in iran's interests to ratchet up the tensions of the middl

it is completely isolated being the middle east. it has to be of war with its neighbors ever since its foundation that isn't likely to change any time. so america is on board, is that. and then you in exchange for nothing. so right, good, isolated so, and we're for a full goals. that's actually the chief, nothing for the united states. and so now it's, it's, are issuing threats against the, until i feel criminal court. doubtless it goes us up issue and threats against aids, and i support them just as and that stands in the way of american global hatred when they, because or offensive bowers? well more than happy to be american clients states do was america's bidding. but not on this issue, particularly in the middle east, on this extra bit by calling follow the united states. so it's quite an extraordinary that of the self inflicted wounds that named the united states. the impact of bradley was still the deeper and take even more dangerous work. so. oh, you know, and because martin, if me in israel does what it does, because it deal

middle east, one of the most representative large delegations from russia.tween moscow and baku is the most important part of the event. boris ivanin will tell you more. this world forum is the first in azerbaijan in the last 5 years; such a long break was caused by the pandemic, but it is taking place in the very heart of baku, next to the heydar aliyev center. this is a symbol of the modern capital of azerbaijan; almost no straight lines are used in its design. but nearby in the congress center, where the forum delegates are arriving, on the contrary. direct and open dialogue between different people. peoples and associations of different crops participants from more than a hundred countries in europe, asia, africa, the middle east, and even from such distant continents as australia and south america, together representatives of various faiths, dialogue for peace, the slogan of this forum, the ideas that are discussed here, are essentially a continuation recent talks between the two leaders. at the end of april , vladimir putin met ilham aliyev in the krem

he's produced hundreds of reports on was in the middle east. he's met with islam and you had his lead as many times and knows exactly how weapons get into their hands. because she home on, on the you see the assessment office level will be on and holding with him on the getting the menu. so the, the home mom and it is, and i mean the only feeling under 100 mean the minutes can have you come off the menu. so to use drugs on was shown to the arms of traffic to the middle east, mainly from ukraine. is findings that corroborated by the largest dealers in the region. let us nominal on the side of the stair, the more about the easiest. and we also want to know we have more of an easy, some better mobile number. uh sure, well nice to hear. i'm kinda confused on what i'm using. i don't know my some of the products. i mean somebody can i think of them in the middle, so we'll say it'll print them the best we can see them. we'll sullivan. we could wait a moment to move them for the show that the arms dealers set up a meeting in a small town on the lebanes

most of them from the middle east. a sizable amount from u.s. and europe. through the sustainability of that for this next year? >> good morning. i'm good morning, viewers. i think we operate on large orders per ticket. there is a very likelihood of the percentages going to misleading directions in terms of 51% or 43%, whatever it is. the fact of the matter is, during the first nine months of the year,, talking about december 23, -- so it did. consequently, the trajectory of orders we got in quarter four of the year was pointing more towards international, and less towards domestic. consequently, as the year as a whole, we have had big orders in the middle east. both in the space of renewable energy, as well as in hydrocarbon. the development and the middle east is concerned, it used to be almost a single pony trick in terms of hydrocarbon orders. over the last few years, there has been considerable broad basing of investments that has happened. downstream industries are getting invested into industries that consume a lot of value added product. the cities

now, i have to tell you, and maybe the middle east is actually it's a perfect segue to the middle eastlet me just say quickly, before we were coming out here, we were listening, dasha, we were listening to you, and the senator and i had the same reaction, let's go in the other direction, because we don't want to follow dasha. thank you for your extraordinary profile in dignity and in courage. and i can only imagine how proud your dad would be of you. [applause] so when i'm asked how it's going, and the middle east is usually the first thing i'm asked about, i actually tend to quote john mccain. john mccain used to say, it's always darkest before it goes completely black. [laughing] and i thank you, cindy, for letting me borrow that. but now to get serious for a minute, so in this moment, the best thing that can happen woul, be for the agreement that's on the table that's being considered by hamas, to have a ceasefire, the release ofen hostages, the possibility of really surging humanitarian assistance to people who so, desperately need it, that's what we're focused on. and as i was tal

this is, america is most important now and middle east by and has both privately and publicly warned the prime minister, any type of work cabinet and israel to support a 2 state solution. they refuse it to allow more humanitarian aid and they've refused it to be much more careful about the civilian casualties that they are allowing, even if they're not directly targeting, they've refused to do that. and now we see them proceeding with these bombings into europe. and whether or not the prime minister refers to it as a mistake or a big. the point is that the united states looks incredibly weak in being incapable of restraining it's much less powerful and long standing out. why are these rooms and what are biden's options at this point bite and had threatened to suspend weapons deliveries to as well. do you see a scenario emerging where the u. s. would actually cut back support to its ally? so there have been some suspensions of military shipments. we've seen a little bit of that. it certainly would not be in any circumstance. cutting off the majority of as really defensive aid. that's

and if i told i knew john from the center for middle east and global order, we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. or when he leaves the founder, julie massage is not headed for the us, at least for now. today, he won his bid to appeal his expedition to the united states on espionage charges assign. she has been finding expedition from the u. k for more than a decade. after which he leads reveal to classified information about the us military, back in 2010 the quotas of julian, the solar celebrate of london's high court runs, the wiki leaks found to the right to appeal his extradition to the united states. the example and that duties on is fleet as soon as possible, completely because he's done so much to humanity and choose. and i'm so grateful to him because he's giving us tools across the world. this jones, the potential to have a better world. there is no case extra knowledge, that absolute nonsense. it's john and, and he reports of crimes. and he's in jail for reporting crimes. what does that? so he is a song she's wanted in the us on 18 charges, m

absolutely, and that is what our middle east analyst was also l our middle east analyst was also sayings been poor weather conditions, and the fact that the rescuers are struggling to get to the area. the fact they haven't had communication with the helicopter, that probably one of the not so positive signs and also you saying that the supreme national security council also having this emergency meeting, so behind the scenes obviously the political system in iran is looking at what they need to do next. absolutely, and i think they are being ready for all kinds of contingencies which would make sense. the most important thing right now is to avoid speculation and even if one were to speculate, to really think about the impact of this particular president, notjust any president, mindful of the manner in which he was elected, mindful of the role of this foreign minister in the role of this foreign minister in the country's diplomacy, i think the conclusion that can be drawn is there will be continuity and continuity in foreign policy. unlikely to be any major shift with reference to thing
