This week on Babel, Jon Alterman speaks with Bader Al-Saif, a U.S.-trained Kuwaiti academic. Together, they discuss Kuwaitis\u2019 perceptions of the Israel-Hamas war, U.S. geostrategy, and where Kuwait itself is headed almost 35 years after Iraq\u2019s invasion of the country. Then, Jon continues the conversation with Will Todman and Leah Hickert to explore the perceptions and use of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict elsewhere in the region.\n\nTranscript, "Bader Al-Saif: Kuwait's Perceptions, People, and Progress," CSIS, February 6, 2024.\n\nBader Al-Saif, "\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u064a\u062a \u0628\u0639\u062f \u0627\u0644\u063a\u0632\u0648... \u0628\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0631\u0635 \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0627\u0626\u0639\u0629 \u0648\u0622\u0641\u0627\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0628\u0648\u0631 \u0646\u062d\u0648 \u0643\u0648\u064a\u062a \u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f\u0629\u201d [Kuwait after the Invasion...
