How do Middle East politics provide further insight into what happened on October 7 and the way the Israel-Hamas war is being fought? And how does this context help us to understand where to go from here? Maria Ellul, an international student studying an M.A. in Security & Diplomacy at @telavivuniversity and a member of the student-led movement @IsraelWarStory – interviews Brandon Friedman, the director of research at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies on the Global Connection Podcast. Together they unpack politics in the Middle East and discuss a new international summer program Friedman is launching, called “The Regional Politics of the Middle East: From the 2010-2011 Arab Uprisings to the October 7 War.” Want to learn more about the new summer program? https://bit.ly/42FxIjb For the full episode https://bit.ly/3wkex2v #middleeast #politics #summerprograms #telavivuniversity #globalconnectionpodcast
