Episode #33: From the Arab Uprisings to the October 7 War

תל אביב 360 – אוניברסיטת תל אביב: ערוץ הפודקסטים

How do Middle East politics provide further insight into what happened on October 7 and the way the Israel-Hamas war is being fought? And how does this context help us to understand where to go from here? In this episode of The Global Connection, Maria Ellul – an international MA student at Tel Aviv University (TAU) and a member of the student-led movement @IsraelWarStory – interviews Brandon Friedman, the director of research at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies. Together they unpack politics in the Middle East and discuss a new international summer program Friedman is launching, called “The Regional Politics of the Middle East: From the 2010-2011 Arab Uprisings to the October 7 War.” Want to learn more about the new summer program?
