Right, that's it. Come on. Lights out. You've got a test tomorrow. Just two minutes. I'm about to reach the next level. It's going off now. Yeah, whatever. Let's see. Where's the app? Oh, here it is. What? How? Oh, no. You're out. Better look next time. Mom! It's game over for late nights on school nights. EE Wi-Fi controls help you get them off the Wi-Fi and into bed.

That's kind of conversation to your soul.

That's conversation. To resolve. Thank you. Hello, Hello, American Prestige listeners, it's Derek, and I am here very pleased to be joined by one returning guest and one brand new guest. I've got Anel Sheline, who has been on the show before. She is, of course, a research fellow in the Middle East program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. She previously served as a Foreign Affairs officer at the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in the Office of Near Eastern Affairs before resigning over the Biden administration's treatment of the people in Gaza.

And I'm also pleased to welcome new guest, Giorgio Cofiero. He's the CEO of Gulf State Analytics,

which is a DC-based risk consultancy.

He is also adjunct assistant professor at Georgetown University

and an adjunct fellow at the American Security Project and a

frequent contributor to many fine

publications, the Gulf International Forum, the new Arab Amway. She's written for the Stimson

Center. I'm sure you've seen his stuff. We are here. He's an expert on Gulf Affairs, as is Nell,

and we are here to talk about, I think, probably obvious at this point, the Israeli

airstrike on Qatar. So, first of all, thank you both for coming on the program.

military bombed Doha to ostensibly try to take out a meeting of Hamas

senior leadership that seems to have more or less failed they did kill six people of five

as people who are both observers of the Gulf

and of Middle Eastern affairs more broadly,

who have watched Israel kind of assert itself with impunity

throughout the Middle East over the last couple of years.
