Drawing on decades of research—including declassified CIA documents connected to her father’s post-WWII counterintelligence work in the Middle East (who died in a mysterious plane crash)—Dennett explores how energy interests, infrastructure projects, and pipelines have shaped conflicts from the Arabian Peninsula to the Eastern Mediterranean in what she calls "The Great Game for Oil. We discuss the so-called “Gaza post-war plan,” the IMEC pipeline linking India to Haifa, and how longstanding ambitions to transform Israel into a regional energy corridor intersect with war, displacement, and geopolitics. Dennett also traces surprising links between conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, and the broader web of financial, intelligence, and political interests that underlie modern crises. Topics include: How energy infrastructure has influenced decades of Middle East policy. The “costs", including depopulation and military campaigns, associated with securing oil and gas reserves. The intersection of geopolitics, corporate interests, and intelligence operations from WWII to today. Connections between global conflicts, including Gaza and Ukraine, and "The Great Game for Oil".
