The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, emerged from his talks in Tehran over the weekend proclaiming a success in getting a stop-gap measure in the standoff regarding the fate of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran, all members of the UN Security Council plus Germany and the EU.

Grossi and his Iranian interlocutors agreed to a so-called “temporary technical understanding” under which limited monitoring activities of nuclear facilities will go on for the next three months, while political negotiations intensify between Washington, Tehran and EU headquarters in Brussels.

The tension emanating from a new Iranian law dictating non-cooperation with nuclear inspectors has eased, with the focus shifting to the Biden Administration’s emerging negotiation posture.

Panel:

- Jonathan Hessen, Host.

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

- Dr. Olli Heinonen Former Deputy Director General IAEA and a Distinguished Fellow, Stimson Center, Washington, D.C.

- Mr. Meir Javedanfar, Iran Lecturer, IDC Herzliya.

In one of its very first policy moves in the Middle East, the Biden Administration focused on war-torn Yemen from two directions.

It announced the suspension of arms sales to the United Arab Emirates; as well as to Saudi Arabia for its offensive campaign against the Houthis in Yemen, enabling only self-defense by Riyadh against Houthi attacks on Saudi soil or naval shipments in the Gulf of Aden approaches to the Red Sea.

Washington has also revoked part of Trump Administration measures against the Houthis by distinguishing between the organization as a whole - which will now be exempt from sanctions, and various leaders who will remain banned.

The rationale is the same: concern over the humanitarian crisis for Yemeni civilians.

What does it all portend for Yemen, and is there a lesson to be learned from it regarding Biden’s regional policies?

Panel:

- Jonathan Hessen, Host.

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

- Dr. Nir Boms, Research Fellow, Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University.

- Dr. Eran Lerman, Vice President of the Jerusalem Institute of Strategy and Security and a Lecturer at Shalem College, Jerusalem.

Next month will mark the 51st anniversary of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) coming into force. Only 5 world nations are not members of this voluntary regime, which involves obligations and benefits. Despite having signed and ratified the treaty, interests and ambitions of governments and individuals keep driving some countries to pursue nuclear weapons.

It’s a nightmare ‘domino theory’ - if Iran gets the bomb, it would soon be joined by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates.

What is the state of this race? Are Riyadh and Ankara among regional capitals awaiting a cue from Tehran, or are they acting in accordance with their own private agendas?

Panel:

- Jonathan Hessen, Host.

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

- Dr. Olli Heinonen Former Deputy General IAEA and a Distinguished Fellow, Stimson Center, Washington, D.C.

- Dr. Nir Boms, Research Fellow, Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University.

A few years ago, when Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s understudy in preparation for his own Presidency, their administration announced a “pivot” from the Middle East to the Far East - especially with a view to China as the main global competitor with the United States.

There has been some delay, as Daesh (the Islamic State) had to be crushed and Iran remained an active foreign policy problem due to then-US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal with it; but now the move away from the Mideast is back, and this time it may hold.

What does that mean for American, Russian and Chinese moves in the region? Will France return to its historic role in Lebanon? How are Turkey and Iran going to respond to new realities? And most crucial for us here, what does it portend for Israel?

Panel:

- Jonathan Hessen, Host.

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

- Dr. Michael Doran, Senior Fellow at Hudson Institute, Washington DC; former Senior Advisor on the Middle East.

- Prof. Zeev Khanin, Expert on Russian and Middle Eastern Studies, Bar Ilan and Ariel Universities.

When Israeli political and military leaders talk about the security problems they are facing, the Gaza Strip is always explosive but containable as long as Hamas prefers it, and the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority is quiet yet amenable to violent changes.

The only constant is the clear and present danger in the north, because of the interface between three forces hostile to Israel: Hezbollah - as the de-facto ruler of Lebanon as regards Israel; Syria - which is torn in its civil conflict and has lost its independent policy making power but not its determination to retrieve the Golan Heights; and Iran - whose tentacles reach out to the Syrian-Israeli front.

Under these circumstances, how does Israel view the complicated situation across its northern frontier? Are there only challenges for it, or also opportunities?

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

If one safely goes back to a cliche always relevant in the Middle East, about ‘my enemy’s enemy being my friend,’ Turkey is certainly not yet Israel’s friend again, even though it is less vehement a foe than it used to be until recently.

It is more like ‘my enemy’s friend’ - the enemy being Hamas in Gaza; while Israel has the friendliest of relations with two of Turkey’s adversaries, Greece and Cyprus.

But with the onset of a new administration in Washington considered hostile to the Erdogan regime but reputed to be susceptible to Israeli arguments, Ankara seemingly inches closer to Jerusalem.

Is it really so, and if it is, what’s the next step up this road?

In about two weeks’ time an ultimatum will be tested in the tense American-Iranian relationship. Unusually, it was issued in Tehran and directed at Washington, rather than the other way around. The Iranian Parliament has threatened by legislation that if by the 21st sanctions re-imposed on Iran by the Trump administration are not lifted, limits on Iranian non-compliance with its obligations under the 2015 will be broken.

While this is only one tactic by one Iranian body, disputed by others; it nevertheless underscores the escalatory nature of friction left over from the Trump era, while Biden and his associates express their wish to renew the deal and improve on it, but have yet to take concrete steps in this direction.

So is the clock ominously ticking, or is it just another phase in a turbulent relationship?

Panel:

- Jonathan Hessen, Host.

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

- Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser – Project Director on Middle East Developments, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

The civil conflict in Libya reached a hopeful milestone mid-January with a United Nations-sponsored agreement on a mechanism to hold elections 11 months from now in late December.

This is a complicated arrangement for an executive council, a presidential trio and a prime minister; as lists of candidates will be submitted by regions controlled by either the Turkish-supported Tripoli government or an Egyptian-backed Benghazi militia.

Panel:

- Jonathan Hessen, Host.

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

- Dr. Haim Koren, Former Israeli Ambassador to Egypt and Lecturer at IDC Herzliya.

- Dr. Eran Lerman, Vice President of the Jerusalem Institute of Strategy and Security, Lecturer at Shalem College, Jerusalem and Co-Host of TV7 Middle East Review.

When the new US Defense Secretary Gen. (res.) Lloyd J. Austin III reached his office at the Pentagon two days after the inauguration of President Joe Biden, he immediately had two intelligence briefings: first on China and then on the Middle East.

Secy. Austin then called his counterparts at NATO, the United Kingdom, Japanese and South Korea – as Israel and the rest of the Middle East had to wait their turn.

What do the priorities of the new US administration mean for the Washington-Jerusalem relationship, particularly as the region awaits Biden’s policy initiatives vis-a-vis Iran and elsewhere?

Panel:

- Jonathan Hessen, Host.

- Amir Oren, Analyst.

- Mr. Robert Silverman, Lecturer at Shalem College and Former President of the American Foreign Service Association.

One election down and two or three to go - that is the score as US President Joe Biden gets used to sleeping above his new Oval Office, the political campaign in Israel heats up, Iran prepares its own presidential contest and Palestinian Authority head Mahmud Abbas also declares his decision to put his own position and his parliament up for a vote.

This is certainly a time of transition, of choosing leaders and of getting used to a mix of old and new faces.

It is also the right moment to take stock and consider Israel’s position vis-a-vis the Arab world.
