On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Walid Phares breaks down President Trump’s ongoing diplomatic and economic initiatives in the Middle East. The former foreign policy and national security advisor to President Trump highlighted major successes, including Saudi Arabia’s historic $100B military committment — part of a broader effort that could reach $1T across the region.

Dr. Phares discusses how President Trump’s strategy is uniting nations like Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar against Iran, signaling a shift in regional alliances. Furthermore, Dr. Phares explores President Trump’s comments on Lebanon and Syria, the goal of weaking Hezbollah and the potential for Syria to recognize Israel — an unprecedented move that could reshape the region’s future.
