Middle East Foreign Policy Continues to Challenge the U.S

Matthew RJ Brodsky was interviewed as a part of Emily Drew's CCTV America segment on Barack Obama's upcoming and first trip to Israel as president. Also interviewed and setting the wider context for the visit are Israeli spokesman Mark Regev and Jadaliyya co-editor Hesham Sallam. Brodsky explains that perhaps President Obama has learned that major progress on the Palestinian-Israeli peace track may not be possible at the moment but coming to agreement on the path forward vis-a-vis Iran is paramount.
