In this first episode of the new year, I had the opportunity and pleasure to talk to Howard Eissenstat who currently is is an Laurentian Associate Professor of Middle East history and History Department Chair at St. Lawrence University and non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute in Washington. With Howard we first looked at the legacy of President Carter in the Middle East and from there we unpacked the long and complex relations between Israel and Turkey. Lastly, as we are approaching the transition from the Biden to the Trump administrations we tried to understand what this means for Turkey.
