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
