Haviv Rettig Gur is one of the most insightful Middle East analysts in the world. He has a gift for making a complicated, complex region not only accessible, but unforgettable.
We never miss his columns or his podcasts. That’s especially true of late, as Iran inches ever closer to a nuclear weapon, as Trump visits the region, and as Israel reenters Gaza.
Which is why on Friday we asked him to join us for a livestream to answer any and all subscriber questions about the Middle East. The FP's Maya Sulkin asked Haviv about how Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been sidelined in hostage negotiations, what Trump’s trip to Qatar means for his strategic thinking, and if Hamas really can be defeated in Gaza.
These subscriber-only livestreams are one of the many benefits of being a paid subscriber to The Free Press. (Thank you to everyone who joined on Friday!)
