The Middle East, the Trump administration, anticipated the Biden administration in train.

I welcome Bill Rajo, the Foundation for Defense of Democracy,

as he keeps the Long World Journal with his colleagues watching the Middle East very closely,

the war between Iran and Israel, and then the players in the region are all in motion

anticipating a new administration in January of 2025.

Also welcome Ambassador Hesina Kane, former Pakistan ambassador to the United States now at the Hudson Institute.

Gentlemen, we anticipate changes.

So I read some headlines from Reuters in

these last hours. Israeli fire kills 11 Palestinians as tanks roll into central Gaza camp. That's

Hamas. Netanyahu approved pager attacks against Hezbollah, says a spokesman for the prime minister's office.

After Hamas rejection of hostage deal, U.S. asked Qatar to expel the group.

I understand it that Hamas leadership, which has been residents in Qatar, and that has obviously

protected them from the ability of Israel to strike

is now in negotiation with Turkey, with Erdogan, to transfer its men in exile to the protection

of the Turkish state. Hussain, I begin with you. I'm eager for your thoughts about the Trump administration,

the ends of the Biden administration. And we start with the big question of Iran and Israel at war.

Do you anticipate any significant changes in these next weeks until the new administration

and what do you expect from the new administration

in winter 25? Good evening to you. Good evening. I think people are already positioning

themselves for what will happen in January rather than trying to get things put into place

now for now.
