The Middle East in the Age of Strategic Power Competition

The Trump Administration is yet to publish its National Security doctrine, and there may be some changes relative to the two most recent documents, from 2018 and 2012 respectively, where the focus was on China as the so-called pacing competitor and Russia as the acute one.

Whatever the case, these two countries still remain the main participants in the great global game of power competition with - and against - the United States, which includes the region mostly of interest to Israel - the Middle East, as well as the Arabian Gulf to Africa’s Western and Southern shores.

So what is in store for this area as the powers challenge each other, sometimes colliding and sometimes coalescing? Joining us for the discussion:
- Host : Jonathan Hessen : Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute and Host of TV7 Israel News
- Analyst : Amir Oren : TV7 Editor at Large and Host of Watchmen Talk
- Prof. Russell Berman : Senior Advisor in the US State Dept; Director of the Middle East Project, Hoover Institute
- BG (Res.) Yaron Rosen : former IAF Commander and Chief of the IDF Cyber Staff

The program offers the viewer deeper understanding about current events in Israel. The topics vary from domestic and foreign policy to social changes, archaelogy and religion.

The program is hosted by TV7 Israel News anchor Jonathan Hessen.
