Our guest in this episode is Abdulrahman Al-Rashed, a media personality and political writer, the former editor-in-chief of Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, and the former general manager of Al-Arabiya channel. Al-Rashed says: Arab countries do not deserve the suffering and tragedies they are experiencing. Unfortunately, the Arab world is experiencing many conflicts today: Hamas and the Palestinian issue, the Israeli-Iranian conflict and their interference in Lebanon, Hezbollah, the war in Yemen, and failed political administrations. We asked him many questions in an attempt to understand the Arab political situation and the concept of the “New Middle East,” and the aspirations and challenges this project carries. What are the features of this project? How do Saudi Arabia’s visions and ambitions align with this region? How does it affect its ambitions? Why does Al-Rashed see Iraq as the new Iran? Does this mean that Arab countries have failed to reclaim Iraq? What about America and its relationship with Saudi Arabia? Will its alliance with Iran and the Houthis hold? Where is its relationship with the Gulf countries heading? Note: This episode was recorded on September 24, before the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah. - • Download the “Radio Thamanya” app. https://thmanyah.link/radio-socrates • The new square is a gateway to another world: https://thmanyah.link/jsk • Whether you are a fan of coffee prepared by professional coffee makers or prefer to prepare it at home.
