khaled elgindy, seniorfellow at the middle east institute and director of the programme on palestinealestine affairs, thank you so much. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, is in berlin as part of a diplomatic tour — his first trip to germany since the war began. on saturday, germany pledged its largest weapons package for kyiv, totalling nearly $3 billion. it follows a trip to italy, where he met the pope and other political leaders in the country. sofa bettiza reports from rome. fanfare a grand welcome in rome. this is the first time that president zelensky has visited italy since russia invaded ukraine. on his arrival, he tweeted it was an important visit for the approaching victory against russia. and it was a packed agenda. first, a private meeting with his counterpart, the italian president, sergio mattarella. translation: first of all, i'm here to thank all- of italian society. unfortunately, i do not have time to shake hands with everyone, to hug them, for the great support italy has provided to ukraine. then, a working lunch with prime minister giorgia meloni. trans

for more on this i spoke earlier to khaled elgindy, senior fellow at the middle east institute and theector of its programme on palestine and palestinian—israeli affairs. it would seem the ceasefire is being welcomed. what's your sense? there's no doubt, particularly in gaza, which has been under bombardment for five days. i mean, gazans have been all over social media talking about the terror that they've felt over the past five days. and so there's no question that there is a huge sigh of relief there in gaza, in particular since, you know, obviously in terms of firepower, what israel possesses and can unleash is far greater than any single or group of palestinian actors could ever inflict on israel. how fragile of a truce is this likely to be? i think it's very fragile. i think we have to remember the way things began five days ago. eight days before that we had a ceasefire agreement, and then this week israel unilaterally broke that ceasefire agreement because it — apparently for a combination of reasons, but a lot of it had to do with domestic pressure from the more extreme wing o

that's going to tow the founding director of the middle east institute to key a program. thank you for having the still ahead on al jazeera, the celebrations in thailand, early election results, put the opposition ahead of the military back governing policy. the palestine is once a very different place for today. most of the cities became connected to the interior in an award winning film, which is 0. well, here's historians and i'd witness accounts that portray early 20th century by this time as a thriving fiber. the reach of was open investments were excess, moving from one city to another, palestine 1920 on al jazeera. the latest news, as it breaks it, does it say that hundreds of students, refugees within the community? why you have to be registered then people cannot access page with detailed coverage . he believes his message of protecting fundamental rights and democracy. but once again bethany with voters from around the world. one thing it shows is russians could give me the ability to be able to strike anywhere in this country whenever it pleases the. when the t

joining me now to discuss the ceasefire is khaled elgindy, senior fellow at the middle east institutee and palestinian—israeli affairs. thank you so much forjoining us. we were looking at some of those scenes in the gaza strip, people in the streets celebrating. it would seem the ceasefire has been welcome. what is your sense because hello there is no doubt, particularly in gaza, which has been under bombardment for five days. been under bombardment for five da 5. . , . , been under bombardment for five da s. . , ., , ., been under bombardment for five da 5. . , . , . ., days. gazans have been all over social media _ days. gazans have been all over social media talking _ days. gazans have been all over social media talking about - days. gazans have been all over social media talking about the l social media talking about the terror that they've felt over the past five days and so there is no question that there is a huge sigh of relief there in gaza. in particular since, obviously in terms of firepower, what israel possesses and can unleash is far greater than any single or group of p

telephone denies the accusation as long as that spring in fatima, i'm honest, he is with the middle east institute, the think tank based in washington dc, and she's been doing research on the what the dispute between the around and i've got this done for yes. so welcome to the program. we understand that a run and i've done this done, have a long less than agreement on the helm on the river. so what forget does violent escalation. hi, thank you for having me. you know, the dispute goes back to the, to send over 2 centuries. i please, it's about a trans boundary border headed mind z. the, as you mentioned between both countries. almost 90 percent of homeland is located and i've called his son and then it flows into a long. so in recent years of the happen disputes rise in disputes. i will describe as the, the do to as you know, persistence, roth and climate change because impacted drastically the, the region so, okay, so in the event there is a lack of order there. you would see that the dispute kind of a thing you and each time it gets more turnout. yeah, no, it has all nice. it exists that this k

now we can speak to a syrian born writer, analyst who sits at the advisory council of the middle east institutemost a little surreal to see him back in the arab league. what did you make of those pictures after me than a decade of isolation we joining this group? >> i have to say most syrians like myself are feeling numb today. this is an event because the air of regimes want to put this on the back burner, they want to move on. while they are considering this to be his victory, i also view it as a victory of all of the arab authoritarian regimes because anything they do will pale in comparison with the horrendous crimes against humanity committed by him. for the arab world, for these regimes they have often had disagreements over the years and this is not even the first time that he himself is welcomed back into the arab full. he had been sidelined after the assassination of the former prime minister of lebanon. it clearly means that arab world, the arab leaders have decided first of all that the arab is a thing of the past. the any notions of hoping for more civil and civic liberties are gone

earlier i spoke to a senior fellow and director of the middle east institute's programme on palestineli affairs and he explained his assessment on the current escalation.— current escalation. well, it is . uite current escalation. well, it is quite predictable. _ current escalation. well, it is quite predictable. it- current escalation. well, it is quite predictable. it is- current escalation. well, it is quite predictable. it is pretty| quite predictable. it is pretty clear that as soon as israel carried out these assassinations and at the same time killed at least eight or nine civilians, i think israel was preparing its population for a response. and we are seeing some of that response this morning. but do not forget how we got here. this was an entirely unprovoked attack by israel that followed a barrage of rockets a week ago which was itself in response to the death of a palestinian militant who died as a result of a hunger strike in an israeli prison. what all of this is telling people macro is that there are much telling us is that there is are much telling us is that there is

the middle east institute turkey program in washington dc. she says the next 5 years will not be smooth. sailing for at one is your position capture the pulled, the sea forest has captured for the 7 percent. and remember the conditions were very unfair. add one, use all the powers of, of incumbent states resources, and the media on to this control reaches borders where and your position was denied any of those things. so it was really unfair. so this tells me that in boulder i, society, even if the incumbent is doing poorly, it's very difficult for voters to change. they're both over policy preferences because the elections are seen as an extra special more. so that's why i explained . today's vote is, 1st of all uh, how strong pull them over see it, popular forces are. and 2nd, it's not going to be what i want because you will be facing down the road is very difficult. domestic political context, turkey spacing, it difficult economy crisis. and the post or with environment political environment, there are a pressing a social and political is

she's the funding director of the middle east institute stuckey program and join us live from washington dc. going to a good job you with us. oh, the one wins another 5 years, many experts say he's took he is most path anita since come out to the found of more than data. okay. so because briefly through the significance of the when i what it means to him, i'm for the country as well. certainly he is the longest serving neither of the of the country so far off. there was such a good while even longer than also to but i'm not sure if he's going to be the strongest leader ever because he will be facing down the road. a very difficult domestic political context. turkeys facing is difficult. economy crosses a and the post or with environment political environment. there are a pressing a social and political issues as well. so you, we should expect an unstable domestic context for avalon. and of course, this helped him, all of them is going to be handling to countries economic crisis. so it's not wanting to going to be soon saying for are doing what i can do to take your way from sundays. old.

to washington where we can join charles lister the director of the syria programme at the middle east institutese images of president assad on the international stage at the arab league, what do you think? stage at the arab league, what do ou think? ., ., �* , you think? knowing full well what's ha enin: you think? knowing full well what's happening in _ you think? knowing full well what's happening in syria _ you think? knowing full well what's happening in syria in _ you think? knowing full well what's happening in syria in the _ you think? knowing full well what's happening in syria in the past - you think? knowing full well what's happening in syria in the past 12 . happening in syria in the past 12 years, it is shocking, it is disenchanting about the prevailing dynamic of the international community today and a decision taken by a majority but not all governments in middle east but frankly, the relative disinterest for western governments is equally disappointing. 12 years of an enormous war crimes are being swept under the rug and in so it, it is actually placing the prospects of any form

. >>> a syrian born writer and political analyst sits on the advisory council of the middle east institutevery good day to you. let me get your reaction. what went through your mind when you saw assad embraced, welcomed at the arab league? >> i can't say that anybody was surprised. we all saw this coming. i mean there's been this gradual disengagement from the west, from the u.s. in particular, about what's happening in syria, and a gradual, you know, shifting of moods in the arab world, which was started mostly by the united arab emirates. saudi arabia was the last one, and we knew that the minute that the saudis would say, yes, let's do it, it was going to be a done deal. i think most of us are pretty numb by now. we saw this coming. i personally see this not only as a victory for bashar al assad but really as a victory for the entire authoritarian nature of the arab world and, you know, putting everything that the -- the young people in particular in the arab world have gone through for the last 12 years and saying, we are not going to talk anymore about the arab spring. it's not going

she is also the founding director of the turkey program at the middle east institute, a washington, d.cthank. and james jeffery spent 35 years as an american diplomat, including as u.s. ambassador to turkey from 2008 to 2010. he's now chair of the middle east program at the wilson center, which is also a d.c.-based think tank. welcome to you both. polling earlier this month have erdogan training -- trailing all of the perspective candidates. he was facing frustration. how did he win? gÖnÜl: by basically following the autocrats playbook. he stirred up the cultural war, polarized society and framed the election as an existential war for survival. in such context voters usually do not easily change their voting behavior. we tend to forget about the pressing problems because they see that as an existential war. that's how he managed to prevent infections and kept his base together. amna: you know erdogan. when you look at how he won and where he won, what strikes you? james: how consistent this has been the past 20 years. he wins in the heartland and not in the cosmopolitan areas and has a

the middle east institute says -- >> the reference mount with syria is very much in line with a talkith iran -- the rapprochement with syria. >> the move is also in acknowledgment that assad is not going anywhere and regional actors need him to address issues of refugees, counterterrorism, and a drug trade sanctioned by damascus. >> the message from these key arab countries is to the administration enter europeans, ok, you have strat -- you have followed your strategy of sanctions, of isolation of the regime. well, it has not worked. let's try our way. >> but she says assad's comeback is limited. not all arab countries have welcomed the move. >> it is really not significant. the arab league is really not that powerful. it is very much symbolic. >> for others, the readmissions of assad is significant. he no worries -- she no worries even more about her father's eight. >> such as that will only make things worse. most importantly, it will kill any hope for people like me that our loved ones might be freed one day. >> this july will mark 10 years since she last saw her beloved father. >

nick: gonul tol is the founding director of the middle east institute's turkey program, and the authorr. >> if he wins another term, i think turkey will degenerate further into an authoritarian regime. if the opposition wins, however, i think turkish democracy will have a shot. nick: voters' number one issue has been sticker shock. today inflation is more than 40 percent, down from 85 percent last november. >> they've said inflation is 85% but i don't think it is 85%. it feels around 250%-300%. nick: 31 year old melike saka told us she feels the cost of living crisis as consumer and seller. she works at a deli that's a family affair. that's her father. they've never witnessed consumers buying less, or profits dropping faster. >> the quantities that we sold have decreased. i can say our sales have decreased by half. nick: turkey's economic pain runs deep, but analysts say erdogan's unorthodox prescription of slashing interest rates made the country sicker. >> the country's faltering economy and the cost of living crisis has been high on the voters agenda. and these economic troubles are

randa slim of the middle east institute says -- randa: the rapprochement with syria is very much a parte with iran. stephanie: saudi arabia recently restored ties with iran after 7 years of estrangement, and slim says saudi arabia needs regional stability to meet its economic aims. the move is also an acknowledgement that assad is not going anywhere and regional actors need him to address issues of refugees, counter-terrorism, and a drug trade sanctioned by damascus. randa: the message from these key arab countries is that too the american administration and is also to europe is you have followed your strategy of sanctions, of isolation of the regime. well, it hasn't worked. let us try our way. let us try to see if we can offer some carrots to assad to help on all these issues that concern you. stephanie: but slim says assad's comeback is limited. not all arab countries have welcomed the move. rhonda: -- randa: it's really not significant. you know, like having a seat in the arab league is really not that powerful after all. it's not a powerful organization. it's very much symbolic. ste

these are the genitols from washington, the director of the turkish program of the middle east institutethat erdogan has nothing to lose. as far as i know, he does have epilepsy. he takes medications that make him feel tired and drowsy, his health is not in the best condition, rumors about a whole set of sores, among which are oncology and diabetes broke up 2 weeks ago. after erdogan became ill during a live broadcast, which even had to be interrupted. the truth within a few days, he appears in public to explain his malaise to stomach flu, and the noise in the media to the intrigues of enemies. what lie is it true? huge lie, and this is sweet revenge. here is a video with the pre-election song of the ddr olu klich team, but the leader of the kurdish militants among the sing-alongs and that's it. erdogan shows this at his rally. they put up a photo and words of one of the main faces terrorist organization, that is , they faked the video and made hundreds of thousands of people believe that it was true, now guess who the key road accuses of this creativity. you have one try, dear russian f

this was ilye kusa , an expert on international politics and the middle east at the ukrainian instituteor the future. well, i'm still trying to catch up. on his word, but it didn't work out, a journalist from the russian propaganda agency ria novosti asked the speaker of the house of representatives of the us congress, republican kevin mccarthy, to comment on why he does not support further aid to ukraine . well, this is exactly what every ukrainian wants to hear, namely about dimod credit bicameral support of ukraine from the american congress well, let's listen to kevin mccarthy in direct speech yesterday with problems with the sound i did not hear well he said that i do not support the provision of aid to ukraine no i voted for the provision of aid to ukraine i am for the provision of support to kyiv and at the same time do not support what your country is doing in ukraine i cannot also support the killing of children i am convinced that you should withdraw your troops from there because it is wrong and we will continue to support ukraine because the whole world sees what is happenin

like on the server, i asked pocket tosh from the giga institute of middle east studies if there is any truth to anyone's rivals claims that the election was unfair. this is doesn't obviously, and i'm free and unsafe elections issue. those are at the humphrey as well because several patients, for instance, like sleep monday night, is still in jail and other potential candidates. it comes out to basically them davis. so if there's also, i'm free and on the election, i mean, it will turn key as well and can not afford losing the game, but she also needs the other to the legitimacy. this is why we see high level of contention or contentiousness in collections, but the team also creates a highly to plane fuel to make it very difficult for the position. i mean, many people quotes are key competitive also to check that comes of only because of the resilience of people to call and switch to position. i mean, you're talking about the company government, about governance by one man, the port or to then to use. ready was no free mass media space resources under the control the multiple either bec

ukrainian national security adviser jake sullivan's upcoming speech at the washington institute on the middle eastpolicy and take your questions that you all have. with that admiral the podium is yours. >> i know there has been a lot of questions over the last 24 hours of the alleged drug a track -- the drone attack in the come in and we are still trying to gather information about what happened. i know there are lots of questions that we just don't have any information. one thing i can tell you for certain is that the united states was not involved in this incident in any way contrary to the lies and that's what they are, just lies to the past two years -- days we've seen russia launched drones into ukraine including shoppers at a supermarket. russia continues to wage a global war against ukraine and people commit to support ukraine as they defend their country from that aggression including its use for another package of security drawdowns. on the president issued an executive order to respond to the violence that began on the 15th last month. this new executive order authorizes targeted sanctio

and the big money now, it seems, for the development of new cultural institutions is coming from, for example, the middle eastaudi arabia, are pouring billions of dollars into new galleries, new museums, like the new louvre, the new guggenheim in abu dhabi, at vast expense. does this please you or do you worry that this is a dangerous way in which culture and soft political power are being used in the 21st century? we are in very good contacts with colleagues in the emirates or in china and looking carefully around. i think it's interesting to see what happens in these countries and...but i believe it is not a convincing idea to export european or western museums worldwide. how a museum works in singapore or in brazil, it depends on the situation in these countries and, but internationally or globally, we have to rethink and to really find what a museum could be, and i think we can learn a lot from different types of museums, especially, for instance, somewhere in the favela in southern america, it's perhaps more influential on museums than the big, new building, iconic design, whatever, somewhere. so you're

he's also a non resident fellow at the top rear institute for middle east policy. he joins us from cairo. i mean, we're more than a month into this conflict. are you able to form an impression inaccurate impression of who has the upper hand at the moment? it's very difficult to tell who exactly has the upper hand uh, between the support services i'm. this is a news sources, both of them keep on making contradictory statements. i think if we have planned anything by now the safety for the accident this conflict saw this is that both of them are not to be justice. and the words, as of they said not to be taken. i forget, forgot that i've let's with whom a few days ago i did that was that when you go and out of the city on down, you'll see that did happen. support sources community has a higher presence disability that it forces and been so then these are close to that controlling the in, in, in so many ways for that on the team and i them, and console. so, i mean, if i can jump in, this is something i wanted to ask you. the army, as you just pointed out, has an air f
