The Shifting Sands of the Middle East (feat. David Wurmser)

The war that Yahya Sinwar launched on Oct. 7, 2023 was meant to profoundly restructure the Middle East — and that is happening, although not in the way the late Hamas leader envisioned. It’s not easy to discern the emerging new realities; to understand the rivalries among the many #jihadi groups and leaders, Sunni and Shia; the shifting threats to Israelis, Kurds, Druze, Christians, and those Arabs who are not eager to sacrifice their children to the cause of Islamic supremacy. David Wurmser is attempting to comprehend and explain these realignments and to suggest responses that would further American interests. #Sinwar #middleeast #jihad #kurds #druze #hamas Mentioned in the episode David's article for The Editors: https://www.theeditors.com/p/prepare-...
