It's hard to be still and take stock when you're standing on shifting sands. Equally it's impossible to build anything meaningful or lasting when the ground under your feet won't stop moving. That's why the title of this 'Middle East Analysis' podcast feels very appropriate in these uncertain times for the region and its people. Conflicts and wars - proxy or otherwise - come and go from the news headlines and the value and dignity of human life is degraded with every man, woman or child killed in the crossfire. Not much is solid, certain and reliable.
Today Dr Harry Hagopian looks at:
Israel/Palestine - a fragile ceasefire in Gaza and the Kairos II statement.
Lebanon - how can its government disarm Hezbollah and at the same time avoid civil war?
Sudan - the horrors of Al Fashir and a tragedy that has left millions in need of humanitarian aid
Syria - Interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa's visit to the White House and an easing of sanctions.
Saudi Arabia - Crown Prince MBS, Mohammed bin Salman - another leader visiting President Donald Trump - and the small matter of the F35s.
All this and more on the shifting sands of the MENA and Gulf region (and Sudan).

UN-workable demands for the MENA and Gulf regions?
Dr Harry Hagopian, the voice of 'Middle East Analysis', came up with the novel idea of looking behind the interventions made by the Heads of State and political leaders from the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf regions at the recent 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Treat this as a fly-on-the-wall side event, a briefing, that steps away from the carefully crafted podium speeches - somewhat predictable in terms of content and agenda - to get to the nub of neighbourly agitation or cooperation.
Iran, Qatar, Lebanon and, to a lesser degree, Israel/Palestine, Iraq and Jordan get the unique Hagopian treatment on this 'Middle East Analysis'.
