He highlighted Trump's previous stance on avoiding deeper involvement in Syria and referenced statements from the president-elect and his national security advisor, indicating a potential reduction—but not a complete withdrawal—of US troops in northern Iraq, where they are assisting Kurdish forces in the counter-ISIL mission.

Despite Western and Arab efforts at achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel is not showing interest in reaching a deal, argues former Israeli government adviser Daniel Levy. Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, tells host Steve Clemons that Israelis are aware of the atrocities they commit in Gaza, but the thorough dehumanisation of Palestinians – coupled with a desire to dispossess them of their lands and human rights – blocks any chance for progress. The result for Israel, Levy argues, is an Israel that will not be accepted in the region, even if some Arab governments “normalize” relations.

A decommissioned Soviet missile silo in Ukraine reveals Cold War-era nuclear deterrence strategies. Its command post, shielded from all but direct nuclear hits, controlled a network of silos, each with missiles capable of devastating power. Former commander Victor Ksenzov, now a guide, explained the dual-key system used to launch missiles. Each missile carried multiple warheads with destructive power exceeding the Hiroshima bomb. Reflecting on the weight of their duties, Ksenzov noted strict adherence to orders. The Cold War's near-misses highlight the ongoing global risk of nuclear conflict as weapons proliferate in Russia, the US, and China. Al Jazeera’s Alex Gatopoulos reports from southern Ukraine.
