Episode 36: Ambassador Dennis Ross

"Those who have made peace with Israel have also exposed themselves to increased threats from rejectionists in the region."

On this episode, Ambassador Dennis Ross talks about what makes a skilled diplomat, the new treaty between the UAE and Israel, and his hopes for future leadership in the Middle East. He also contrasts the 1994 treaty between Israel and Jordan with the 2020 treaty between Israel and the UAE. His favorite music, which is revealed as usual, might surprise you.
