Summary

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh The numerous heated and hotly debated conflicts surrounding Israel are almost always threatening to boil over and cast the Middle East into unceremonious chaos. Ambassador Ron Dermer sits down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss the issues, the misnomers, and the underlying truths surrounding one of the most resilient peoples and countries in history. Ron Dermer is an American-born political consultant who served as Israel’s Ambassador to the United States from 2013 to 2021. As Prime Minister Netanyahu’s top advisor, Dermer was a driving force behind many of the era’s most important diplomatic developments, such as the monumental Abraham Accords, which normalized Israel’s relations with several Arab nations. Dermer earned a degree in Finance and Management from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) from Oxford University. After moving to Israel, Dermer became a columnist for The Jerusalem Post and served as a close advisor to Natan Sharansky. In 2004, he co-authored with Sharansky the best-selling book, “The Case For Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror,” which has been translated into ten languages. —Links— For Ambassador Ron Dermer: The Reform Islam Needs - https://www.city-journal.org/html/reform-islam-needs-12374.html Proud to Have Been an American - https://www.nysun.com/article/opinion-proud-to-have-been-an-american John Kerry is Wrong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=I_m1QlPxQ88 Ron Dermers Podcast, “Diplomatically Incorrect”- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/diplomatically-incorrect-with-ambassador-ron-dermer/id1616923197?uo=4 —Chapters— (0:00) Coming Up (1:02) Intro (5:00) The Abraham Accords, Timeline of the Gulf (14:00) The 200 Pound Gorilla, Israel (18:15) Conflicting Goals (21:33) Saudi Arabia Moving Toward Peace?

0:00.0	Hello everyone, I'm very privileged, I would say, and happy today to be speaking with
0:22.9	Ambassador Ronald Dürmer.
0:25.2	I've been investigating the background and the significance of the Abraham Accords, which
0:31.8	are a piece initiative signed a few years ago, aimed at stabilizing and bringing prosperity
0:39.0	and security and opportunity to the Middle East.
0:42.0	And I became aware of these accords somewhat late in some sense, given what appears to be
0:48.9	their significance, and they looked to me like the most, no where they moved towards something
0:55.7	approximating peace in the Middle East that might have occurred in the last, certainly
0:59.3	since the Second World War, perhaps since the First World War.
1:03.6	That's pretty saying something in such a fructious world where so much of the conflict
1:07.8	has been centered in that area as it has been for so many thousands of years.
1:12.3	So I'm doing some background investigation into the accords, trying to find out their
1:17.1	strengths and weaknesses, trying to separate the wheat from the chaff and give credit where

1:22.5	And I talked to the American Ambassador to Israel a while back who was signally important
1:27.9	in bringing these about.
1:29.7	And now I'm reversing that by speaking to Ronald Dürmer.
1:36.0	And I'm going to share that with you so you can make up your own mind in so far as that's
1:39.6	possible.
1:40.6	I'll start with a brief bio of Ambassador Dürmer.
1:44.2	And then we'll move to a discussion of the Abraham Accords in their details and in their
1:48.7	context.
