Abstract
The war that broke out in Gaza following the Hamas attack on October 7 and Israel's response has once again highlighted the endurance of wars and heightened regional tensions in the Middle East. At the same time, there are ongoing wars and conflicts in Syria and Yemen, and conflict lines are escalating between Israel and Iran. This podcast (in Swedish) tries to understand the regional dynamics of the Middle East and where the keys to peace and stability are to be found. How can we understand the ongoing war in Gaza in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the wider regional dynamics?
Participants:
- Karin Aggestam, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University
- Aron Lund, Analyst, Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI)
The conversation is led by Simon Jernberg, Program Manager Global Security Trends at Folk och Försvar (People and Defense).
The podcast was recorded on May 23 (in Swedish)
