Are we inching towards a big regional war in the Middle East?
from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak
Are we inching towards a big regional war in the Middle East? "What we see today is that two major unresolved issues are starting to interact with each other and could cause quite serious problems. One is, of course, the unresolved position of Iran. And the second problem is, of course, the unresolved issue of Palestine." This is what Erwin van Veen sees when he looks at the Middle East. He is a Senior Research Fellow at Clingendael Institute’s Conflict Research Unit and head of Clingendael’s Middle East program. We talked about the war in Gaza, the Houthis' attack in the Red Sea, and Iran-Saudi rivalry but also about Russia and China and their approaches to the current events in the Middle East.
