I spoke to political analyst Sami Hamdi to get his read on where the Middle East is actually headed.
Turkey, Saudi, Qatar, and the UAE are ALL rapidly acquiring weapons and establishing new military bases.
The Lebanese government signed what he calls "horrific terms," and may have handed Israel the ability to bomb Hezbollah indefinitely.
He doesn't buy the Gaza rearming claims, and instead thinks Israel is manufacturing a casus belli ahead of Netanyahu's November elections.
In Washington, he sees a Republican fault line forming:
Rubio going quiet to protect his AIPAC ties for 2028, Vance betting on "America First vs. Israel First" as the defining argument of the next primary.
One of the sharpest analytical minds on the Middle East. Enjoy my conversation with @SALHACHIMI
