Middle East Tensions and Trump's Gaza Plan

The Great Game panelists discuss escalating tensions in the Middle East, focusing on Iranian drone strikes on a U.S. airbase in Kuwait and the interception of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The conversation shifts to Donald Trump's announcement of an agreement to disarm Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with guests expressing deep skepticism about its viability and Israel's willingness to comply. The panel also covers a drone attack on a U.S. gas tanker in Egypt, concluding the broadcast by analyzing how U.S. entanglement in the Middle East ultimately benefits Russia's military campaign in Ukraine.

U.S. President Trump announced a U.S.-initiated historic agreement aimed at fully disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip. The agreement is to be implemented in phases alongside an international stabilization force.
