Last year, Chinese diplomats brokered an Iran\u2013Saudi Arabia deal that elevated Beijing\u2019s status as a mediator in the Middle East. China hoped the deal would induce a greater \u201cwave of reconciliation\u201d in the region and strengthen its position. But Hamas\u2019s October 7 attack on Israel changed Beijing\u2019s calculations.\n\nTo discuss China\u2019s ambitions in the Middle East, Beijing\u2019s position in the Israel-Hamas conflict, and what this all means for American interests in the region, Hudson\u2019s Zineb Riboua hosts a discussion with Senior Fellow John Lee and Atlantic Council Nonresident Fellow Tuvia Gering.
