Dear MEPIN Readers,
Please listen to my conversation with Robert Silverman, editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Strategic Tribune and a former U.S. diplomat in Saudi Arabia, hosted by Calev Ben David on ILTV.
Our spirited discussion covered:
- Whether the Saudis got everything they wanted—AI, investments, civilian nuclear capabilities, advanced arms, and a defense pact (Major Non-NATO Ally)
- How important the F-35 sale is to Israel’s security and QME
- Why the Saudis didn’t commit to Gaza reconstruction or normalization
- Why is only Israel willing and capable of disarming Hamas
- And more
Please share your thoughts. Eric
