This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, we look at the recent decision by Western nations to recognise the State of Palestine. 

It came as a surprise to many, although it remains to be seen what it actual means for Palestinians. Either way, it angered Israel. And as Western states were announcing to recognise a Palestinian state, Israel was planning a major new offensive in Gaza, and Israeli citizens were on the streets protesting against the Netanyahu government. 

This week, what’s Israel doing in Gaza, and why are some Israeli citizens protesting the move? What does the recognition of a state of Palestine mean for Israel? And is Israeli foreign diplomacy failing?

We speak with Paul Scham, the former  Professor of Israeli Studies at the University of Maryland; also, Nimrod Goren, President and Founder of Mitvim – The Israeli Institute for Regional Foreign Policies.

This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).

Theme music by Omar al-Fil with additional music from Audio Network.

Recognising Problems in Israel: Western recognition of Palestine and trouble at the Foreign Ministry

The US and Israel continue to launch daily airstrikes against Iran. 

As a new Supreme Leader was elected, the country's leadership continues to be targeted and killed. 

And as Israeli and US planes drop bomb, Iran is flinging missiles across the region, targeting Israel and the Gulf. 

This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, we look at if the US objectives and reasoning for the war, what they are targeting in Iran, and what successes they been having, and what they have not been hitting. Also, we look at the Gulf, who have been on the dangerous end of Iranian missiles. Why is Iran targeting the Gulf? How does the Gulf feel about being dragged into this war? What impact do the attack in the Strait of Hormuz have on the Gulf? And what does the Gulf what from this war. 

To discuss the US and Israeli strike, we speak with Annika Ganzeveld, Middle East Portfolio Manager at the Critical Threats Project (@criticalthreats). And to explain what's happening with the Gulf, we speak with Dr. Andreas Krieg (@andreas_krieg), Associate Professor at King's College London (@KingsCollegeLon), at the School of Security Studies.

Strait into Trouble: The war in Iran continues as the Gulf gets dragged in deeper

Iran has changed forever. 

The US and Israel are firing missiles and dropping bombs on targets across Iran. Senior figures from the regime and the IRGC are being assassinated.

Ayatollah Khamenei was killed on the first day of the war.

The future of Iran is still being written. 

On this week's episode of The New Arab Voice podcast, we look at recent events in Iran, and ask what are the ambitions of US President Donald Trump and the US military. We also look at the opposition inside and outside the country, and who might be able to step up and lead Iran in the future. 

We're joined by Charles W. Dunne, non-resident fellow at the Arab Center Washington D.C and Adjunct Professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs at the George Washington University. And Alex Vatanka,  Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute and author of The Battle of the Ayatollahs in Iran: The United States, Foreign Policy and Political Rivalry since 1979.
