    Should the US withhold military aid from Israel?
    Oct 8 2024
    This week marks the one year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel and the start of a war in Gaza that has killed upwards of 40,000 people, many of them civilians. Throughout this conflict, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pursued his own political and military agenda at odds with Washington’s calls for negotiations and de-escalation. Yet the flow of American arms has continued. FP deputy editor Sasha Polakow-Suranksy is joined by Sarah Leah Whitson, Executive Director of DAWN, an organization working to reform US foreign policy in the Middle East and Dennis Ross, who was Washington’s point person in Middle East peace negotiations under two U.S. presidents.

  • Remaking the World Order

    Remaking the World Order
    Dec 15 2023
    Global cooperation can often seem broken. On our final episode of Global Reboot, we look at how to reboot international relations for a multipolar era. Multilateral institutions seem increasingly ineffective, and even outdated, as emerging economies demand more of a role and countries form alliances and blocs outside of these institutions. In such a scenario, what can be done to improve cooperation to meet global challenges? Borge Brende joins Global Reboot to discuss this and much more. Brende is the president of the World Economic Forum. He previously served as Norway’s minister of foreign affairs from 2013 to 2017. Global Reboot is produced in partnership with the Doha Forum.

Raja Mohan is a senior fellow with the Asia Society Policy Institute in New Delhi. He joins Ravi Agrawal to discuss how to reengage with the global south and whether the term is even still relevant today. Global Reboot is produced in partnership with the Doha Forum.

  • How to Fix America’s China Policy

    How to Fix America’s China Policy
    Nov 3 2023
    The trajectory of the U.S.-China relationship has global implications, with most Democrats and Republicans in Congress calling for a more hawkish approach. Rep. Andy Kim disagrees, calling instead for a foreign policy focused more on coalition building. Kim sits on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. He’s one of the few members of Congress who has visited China. And when speaking with leaders and policymakers from the region, he says they tell him that “the [United States] cannot be the instigators of the tension. … You need to show that you are a responsible global power.” The Democratic representative from New Jersey joins Ravi Agrawal for this special FP Live taping of Global Reboot.
