Glad to have contributed to this excellent volume.I look at #Europe's role in the #MENA arguing that Europeans-individually and collectively-have a lot of catching up to do;they have no choice but to engage.

It has been quite the year for the #MiddleEast and its place in the world - and 2024 is about to start with a lot of pretty hefty question marks too. In our latest episode we look back at #Russia, #Europe and the #MENA in 2023 and ahead to the new year.

Just read this by Emile Hokayem (@emile-hokayem.bsky.social) “Perhaps the most immediate danger, however, is not a sudden explosion of violence across the region, but the world’s slow normalisation of, and desensitisation to, what should be an unacceptably high level of violence and human misery.”
