    Hezbollah Falls into the Crosshairs: Israeli attacks in Lebanon, possible peace deals, and Hezbollah's future

    This week on The New Arab Voice podcast we look at the escalating conflict in Lebanon. In recent months Israeli airstrikes have ramped up, targeting Hezbollah's military stores, infrastructure, and its leadership. Additionally, Israeli troops have crossed the border and are confronting Hezbollah on the ground.  Efforts are now ramping up to bring about a ceasefire, but nothing has been agreed yet, and it is still unclear what the terms of the deal would be. Also up for discussion is the state of Hezbollah as an armed group. How is Lebanon coping with the rising violence and the ever growing risks? Is this the end of Hezbollah? And can a deal be done so that Lebanon avoid the same fate that Israel has imposed on Gaza? Joining us, we speak with Yazan al-Saadi, The New Arab's International Editor, based in Beirut. Also, David Daoud (@DavidADaoud),  senior fellow at The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (@FDD), focused on Lebanon and Hezbollah. And Charles Dunne (@CharlesWDunne), Adjunct Professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs at the George Washington University (@ElliottSchoolGW) and non-resident fellow at the Arab Center Washington D.C. (@ArabCenterWDC).  This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).  Theme music by Omar al-Fil.  To get in touch with the producers, follow then tweet us at @TNAPodcasts or email podcast@newarab.com Hosted on Acast.

    An Engaging Dilemma: The Taliban’s Afghanistan, women’s rights and international diplomacy

    Women in Afghanistan continue to be suppressed and marginalised by the Taliban government, with a steady stream of new laws and edicts, dictating what they can and can't do. This has alarmed and shocked human rights defenders in Afghanistan, and across the world. Also expressing their outrage are governments around the world. And yet, many are still trying to find a way through that would allow them to do business with the Taliban, and condemn human rights violations. This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, we look at how the international community should approach the Taliban. Engage or disengage? How can they be pressured to reverse the draconian measures against women? And how can the Taliban authorities be held accountable for their human rights atrocities without penalising the population? We're joined by Kate Clark (@KateClark66), co-director of Afghanistan Analysts Network (@AANafgh), Zahra Nader (@ZahraYusufi), Afghan journalist and editor-in-chief of Zan Times (@ZanTimes), based in North America, and Shaharzad Akbar (@ShaharzadAkbar), director of civil society group Rawadari (@rawadari_org), human rights activist and Academy Fellow at Chatham House (@ChathamHouse). This podcast is written and produced by Rosabel Crean (@CreanRosabel), with additional help from Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).  Theme music by Omar al-Fil.  To get in touch with the producers, follow then tweet us at @TNAPodcasts or email podcast@newarab.com Hosted on Acast.

    A Triptych of Gaza: 365 days of tragedy and an uncertain future

    It has been one year since the start of the war in Gaza. What started with an appalling crime was repaid with further crimes and relentless tragedy. This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, on the anniversary of the start of the war in Gaza, we look at three aspects: health, justice, and future. What is state of healthcare in Gaza? How much aid is getting in? What disease are spreading? What toll has 12 months of brutal conflict had on people's mental health? What is the state of the international criminal case against the leaders of Hamas and Israel? What is the timeline for international litigation? Can Israel be protected by its allies? Is the ICC still a deterrent? What will the 'day after' in Gaza look like? Who will pay for the reconstruction, and will the situation every be suitable for reconstruction? And who will govern Gaza in the future. Joining us to look back over the past 12 months and the future ahead, we have three guests. Dr. Yara Asi (@Yara_M_Asi), Assistant Professor in Global Health Management and Informatics at the University of Central Florida, co-director of the Palestine Program for Health and Human Rights, and author of How War Kills : The Overlooked Threats to Our Health.  Haydée Dijkstal (@dijkstal), Barrister at 33 Bedford Row Chambers (@33BedfordRow), Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council - Strategic Litigation Project (@AtlanticCouncil), and instructed as counsel for the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) in London (@ICJPalestine).

    Banking on a New Authority: Power grabs at the Central Bank of Libya

    This week on The New Arab Voice podcast we're looking at the recent troubles surrounding the Central Bank of Libya.  In August, gunman surrounded the Central Bank in Tripoli, forcing the bank's governor, Sadiq al-Kabir, to flee the country, fearing for his safety. Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh was seen as the architect of the efforts to remove the governor. In response to the events at the Central Bank, eastern forces shut down the country's lucrative oil fields, sending output plummeting and threatening the vital oil revenues.  Why is Dbeibeh seeking control of the bank? What does it mean for the country's oilfields to be shutdown, and how will it impact the economy? What can the interim Governor of the Central Bank do, and will anyone listen to him? And is there a path to stability? Joining us to talk Libya, the Central Bank, and oil revenues, we have Jalel Harchaoui (@JMJalel_H),  Associate Fellow with the Royal United Services Institute (@RUSI_org) in London specialising in North Africa, with a specific focus on Libya; and Tarek Megerisi (@Tmegrisi), a senior policy fellow with the Middle East and North Africa programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations (@ecfr). This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).  Theme music by Omar al-Fil.  To get in touch with the producers, follow then tweet us at @TNAPodcasts or email podcast@newarab.com Hosted on Acast.
