James discusses on CGTN the potential fallout of Iran's missile attack on Israel.
Iran's missile attack on Israel, involving nearly 200 projectiles, significantly escalates tensions in the Middle East. Despite most missiles being intercepted, the incident highlights the region's precarious security amid ongoing conflicts and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. For insights, BFM 89.9 speaks to James M. Dorsey, adjunct Senior Fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.
Israel has killed the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, in a targeted bombing attack on Beirut. Many of Hezbollah's weapons caches have also been destroyed. An estimated 1000 people have been killed over the past two weeks and up to one million people may be internally displaced across Lebanon. Will this coordinated attack finally mean the end of Hezbollah?
Guest: James M. Dorsey, senior fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University and host of The Turbulent World podcast
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is likely to discover that the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah will not shift the paradigm of Middle East politics.
It’s a lesson Mr. Netanyahu should have drawn from decades of Israeli targeted assassinations.
It will take a lot more to convince Israel and its supporters that newly elected Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian means business and can deliver on his proposal to dial down tensions between the two countries.
On his weekly Middle East Report show on Radio Islam International, James M. Dorsey discusses Iran’s charm offensive at the United Nations, the war between Israel and Hezbollah, and a US-French-led effort to secure a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Israel has signalled it is ready to invade Lebanon following weeks of intense bombardment, ostensible against Hezbollah targets. Hezbollah has responded with rocket attacks which were mostly intercepted by Israel's defences. Dr James M. Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, shares insights into how the current conflict is escalating on BFM 89.9

A Saudi push to become a major natural gas player is as much about diversifying the kingdom’s domestic consumption and export mix as it is about cementing Saudi Arabia as a global geopolitical, economic, and energy player.
It also is about capitalizing on harsh US economic sanctions against Iran designed to force a change in the Islamic Republic’s policies.
Months of cross-border exchanges have forced thousands of people to evacuate areas along the Lebanon's southern border. James M. Dorsey, an adjunct senior fellow at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies explains, escalating tensions between Hezbollah and Israel have increased discontent among the country's citizens.
James M. Dorsey discusses on Backchat with Steve Vickers and Daniel Marwecki what escalating tensions between Israel and the Iranian-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah mean for the Middle East.
James M. Dorsey discusses on Radio Islam the fallout of a massive attack on Iranian-backed Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah's communications infrastructure.
James M. Dorsey, adjunct senior fellow at Singapore's S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, weighs in on Israel-Hezbollah tensions following the deadly pager blasts in Lebanon, and considers whether Washington has any leverage to prevent the conflict spiralling out of control.
Iran and its Arab allies may not want an out Middle East war, but that has not stopped them from increasingly engaging Israel on multiple fronts.
A US decision to dial back its reinforced military presence in the Middle East suggests that America’s commitment to defend Israel could be less ironclad than the Biden administration would like the world to believe.
Israel hasn’t just lost the battle for hearts and minds in much of the world, including significant constituencies in Western countries.
It has scored a significant own goal that has rendered it all but impossible to achieve a key element of Israel’s quest for Middle Eastern and Muslim recognition.
Let’s be clear. Hamas’ alleged execution of six Israeli hostages constitutes a war crime.
The hostages were killed in line with new Hamas guidelines that violate international law on how guards should handle hostages if Israeli forces approached their hideouts
Even so, the guidelines have proven to be a powerful tool in the struggle to achieve a Gaza ceasefire.
James M. Dorsey, senior fellow at Singapore's S Rajaratnam School of International Studies talks to TRT World about Gaza ceasefire negotiations and unpacks what Washington could do to bring Israel to the negotiation table.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and onetime Palestinian foreign minister Nasser Al-Kidwa have put forward a proposal designed to keep a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict alive.
The proposal caters to Palestinian national aspirations as well as Israeli efforts to groom a Palestinian leadership that is not tied to Hamas or the internationally recognised, West Bank-based Palestine Authority and is more amenable to Israeli concerns.
This week’s US sanctioning of an Israeli-government-backed vigilante settler group constitutes a weak shot across Israel’s bow as the United States and Europe mull also sanctioning ultra-nationalist members of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s cabinet.
