Policy Voices | Only the US can influence Israel. But will it?

As much as this US presidential election has been dominated by domestic affairs such as the economy and reproductive rights – the current most consequential foreign policy issue is without a doubt the risk of a regional war in the Middle East. In this week’s episode of Policy Voices, host Catarina Vila Nova sits down with Gilbert Achcar, Professor of Development Studies and International Relations at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London. They discuss the differences between the approaches of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, if any, and Europe’s limited role in the conflict. This conversation was recorded on 10 October. On 15 October, the US gave Israel an ultimatum that it would limit its military aid to Israel if humanitarian aid to Gaza doesn’t dramatically increase in the next 30 days.
