Frankly Speaking | S14 E4 | Nomi Bar-Yaacov, International negotiator

from Arab News · host arabnews

On this episode, we speak with Nomi Bar-Yaacov, a human rights lawyer and international peace negotiator who has spent decades working on some of the world's most difficult conflicts. Just over three months on from Operation Epic Fury, tensions across the Middle East are still running high, from Gaza and Lebanon to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. So, was this war a strategic success or the start of a much bigger regional crisis? And as diplomacy struggles to contain the fallout, is the region slipping into a far more dangerous phase?
