00:04:17and to the esteemed guests. In
00:04:21Welcome back. The war for the administration
00:04:23was unprecedented in of US President Donald Trump is no longer a military
00:04:26battle abroad, but an open
00:04:30political test at home. After the Republicans
00:04:33lost control of Congress and the House,
00:04:36the repercussions of the war turned into a crisis that threatens
00:04:40President Trump's influence. He admits that the conflict
00:04:43contributed to the electoral defeat, but he
00:04:46what touched holds firm to his decision and confirms that he
00:04:49was right. In the halls
00:04:52for example, if he were to now, you of the White House, questions are escalating about who misled the president and who
00:04:55will bear the cost of the political reckoning. As for
00:04:59the Democrats, they are preparing to open the administration's
00:05:01files and transform the parliamentary majority into
00:05:05a platform for oversight and investigation, while
00:05:07Trump threatens to expand the use of his powers
00:05:11to achieve a strategic
00:05:20victory that threatens his political legacy and redraws
00:05:23the future of the Republican Party.
00:05:46The Republican loss in the US midterm elections seems
00:05:50not the end of an electoral phase, but the beginning
00:05:53of an open political confrontation where
00:05:56war, election, and influence calculations intersect
00:06:00amid anticipation of the decision that will determine
00:06:03the course of the next phase. Democrats regained
00:06:06control of the House and Senate, and Republicans began searching for the reasons
00:06:09for the defeat and those responsible for it. While a number
00:06:13of those close to US President Donald Trump believe that the war that has been going
00:06:16on for months and the rise in energy prices contributed
00:06:21the party, Trump admits that the war
00:06:24with Iran was one of the factors that affected the election
00:06:27results. However, at the same time, he does not back down
00:06:31from his decision. In an interview with Fox News and another with
00:06:35the Wall Street Journal, Trump said that the war
00:06:38contributed to the Republican loss, but he
00:06:41stressed that he made the right decision and that he would
00:06:45repeat it despite the continued fighting and the decline
00:06:48in his popularity among Americans. According to what
00:06:51CNN reported from an advisor
00:06:54to the president, Trump feels that he
00:06:57was misled about the war and believes that someone
00:07:00should pay the price for that. These statements
00:07:04put the administration before the possibility of rearranging responsibilities within
00:07:08the US president's team at a time
00:07:11when attention is turning to the Secretary of Defense, who was one of the most prominent
00:07:15supporters of the military operation. As for Congress,
00:07:18Democrats are preparing to use their new
00:07:21majority to open oversight investigations that will affect the administration's
00:07:25performance and individuals from Trump's inner circle. Reports indicate
00:07:29that Democratic members have begun procedures to preserve
00:07:32documents in preparation for investigations that may include
00:07:35war decisions, the management of the Iranian file, and the political
00:07:39and economic repercussions of the conflict. In Tehran,
00:07:43the results were met with relief, and Iranian Parliament Speaker
00:07:46Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf considered
00:07:49that American voters sent a message rejecting
00:07:52the war. With the American-Iranian war
00:07:55entering its ninth month, the most difficult
00:07:58question remains: Will Trump choose de-escalation and a return
00:08:01to negotiations, or will he go for a new military
00:08:05operation to prove his strength? The Republican
00:08:10not give the president a new
00:08:13not prevent him, according to experts' estimates, from using
00:08:16his military and executive powers before
00:08:19the new Congress
00:08:21convenes.
00:08:24Welcome back, dear viewers. So this hour will be about
00:08:27the developments after the American elections and the resounding
00:08:32the American corridors
00:08:34with a majority
00:08:36of Senate seats and also the House of Representatives. Joining
00:08:40me in this regard is Khaled Jamal Al-Nasiri, an international relations expert from
00:08:43Istanbul, as well as Professor Maysara Bakour, a political
00:08:46analyst and human rights activist from Berlin, and Professor Wajdan Abdel
00:08:51Iranian affairs and Middle East issues from London. Welcome,
00:08:55my guests, to this hour. I will start with you, Professor
00:08:58Khaled. The discussion initially is about these elections
00:09:02that have turned and changed
00:09:05the reality within the United States, and a majority for the blue now
00:09:10the Republicans. Initially, the message
00:09:13that the American voter sent through the ballot boxes
00:09:16to the American government
00:09:19and the change of face from Republican to
00:09:22Democrat.
00:09:24Yes, first of all, a good greeting to you, the Syrian News Channel,
00:09:30fact, we are facing a turning point that
00:09:35the past, and this is with the Democrats sweeping the largest
00:09:38seats and controlling both the House and Senate. This
00:09:42is a slap in the face to US President Donald Trump in this
00:09:46particular crisis, and he is fighting a big war,
00:09:49whether internal or external, related to the regional situation
00:09:53and the situation of his war with Iran and his coordination with
00:09:56Israel. The direction of the American street,
00:10:00since the beginning of the war, was clear: it was against
00:10:03the war, against the decisions of US President Donald Trump's
00:10:06recent tax law, a law also related
00:10:09to law enforcement forces and arbitrary
00:10:13restrictions and harassment. There are many internal American
00:10:16issues, as J.D. Vance also
00:10:19mentioned in a tweet a few hours ago. He said that
00:10:23there are fundamental flaws
00:10:26for the reason that the Republicans were not elected,
00:10:30and this is what put Americans before three points: the state of the domestic
00:10:34economy, the rise in oil prices,
00:10:37and the ongoing war between America
00:10:41and Iran. President Trump always used a clear
00:10:44method at the beginning of the war, trying to win over the street, and this method
00:10:48is an attempt to give legitimacy to the war
00:10:52by saying that Iran threatens America, threatening
00:10:55its national security. Therefore, he used this slogan for a certain
00:10:58period. He went to greater
00:11:02dimensions by re-coordinating the regional
00:11:05situation in the region and re-structuring
00:11:08the defense situation, especially with the Gulf
00:11:11states, the allied states. But
00:11:15in the end, he was met
00:11:18domestic backlash and lost the midterm elections.
00:11:21He is now trying to use the veto, his last
00:11:25powers, his last decisions, by continuing as
00:11:28president through his work on the war issue and also
00:11:32re-activating the idea that Iran still threatens the United States
00:11:35and its interests, especially since Iran is still threatening
00:11:39the Strait of Hormuz, American interests, European
00:11:43Union interests. Today, there are also some
00:11:45problems that occurred in some airports in
00:11:49There is a real
00:11:52problem that the president is suffering from.
00:11:55But now the biggest challenge is
00:11:58whether President Trump will continue his war
00:12:02on Iran. If he does not strike Iran now or
00:12:06does not put an end to the Iranian regime,
00:12:08then he will lose personally,
00:12:12and the prestige of America, which President
00:12:15Trump was boasting about, saying "Let's make America
00:12:18great again," will also be lost. And this
00:12:21may not directly apply to what is happening now between the Republicans
00:12:25and Democrats. Yes, let me also turn to my guest, Professor Maysara
00:12:29Bakour, political analyst and human rights activist. Professor Maysara, what comes after
00:12:33these elections is not like what came before, especially in American foreign
00:12:38the United States work to change
00:12:41this policy,
00:12:44or will it continue with it as it
00:12:47was before the elections?
00:12:52and with my colleagues. First,
00:12:55this is not an anomaly in American politics, and it's not the first time,
00:12:59and it won't be the last. At least this has happened three
00:13:02times throughout American history.
00:13:05I count three times, and we
00:13:09had a research paper at the Arab-European Center for Studies on this point
00:13:13and the president's powers. Therefore, the situation
00:13:15is not as bleak as some portray it.
00:13:19The President of the United States of America has powers,
00:13:22and there are overlapping powers between
00:13:26the Senate and Congress, with its two chambers, the Senate
00:13:29and the House of Representatives. The President of the United States of America has
00:13:33the power to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Armed Forces. He is the one who approves foreign
00:13:37policies. He is the one who makes agreements
00:13:40and treaties and everything. He can now impose
00:13:43sanctions on countries, and he can impose
00:13:47tariffs on countries, and he can wage wars
00:13:51for a month on countries. Therefore, most of the powers still
00:13:57But isn't it usually the case that there are preliminary approvals
00:14:01from the House and Congress until it reaches the president in the end for approval or
00:14:05rejection? No, here we are confusing two things: the president's
00:14:09powers and the powers of the House and Congress. I told you I
00:14:12conducted a study of about 73
00:14:15topic
00:14:18the center.
00:14:20The president's powers are specific powers
00:14:24the US Constitution, Article I and Article II,
00:14:27and the amendments to the War Powers Act of 1973. He has
00:14:31specific powers and can administer the country through executive
00:14:35orders or executive orders. You recall that by
00:14:38executive order, he canceled sanctions on Syria on one
00:14:42occasion, and the White House has the power to impose
00:14:45its own sanctions, apart from the House of Representatives, apart from the Treasury, apart
00:14:49from everything. And he can manage all his ministries and determine
00:14:52their policies, the dependent government.
00:15:00Iran after these elections, as President Donald
00:15:03Trump had stated before the elections began,
00:15:07certainly. But let me finish in 30
00:15:10seconds. The House of Representatives, you mentioned a very important
00:15:13point, that the president,
00:15:17mentioned in the report who will pay the price? Will the Secretary of Defense
00:15:20pay the price, who misled the American president, or is there a Central Command commander,
00:15:24I think, Tabler or something, he was more dangerous to Trump than
00:15:28that? Therefore, if he dismissed the prime minister now,
00:15:31the president, the minister of defense, and wanted to appoint
00:15:35a new minister of defense, he would nominate
00:15:38a minister of defense to the Senate, and the Senate would accept
00:15:41or reject. Here he is controlled by them. He needs a budget and funding. The Senate
00:15:45and the House of Representatives control these decisions. He sends them
00:15:48decisions. Of course, speaking of President Trump, they
00:15:52also have a policy called the "drawer policy." That is, the decision comes to President
00:15:56Trump, and he puts it on his desk and says neither yes nor no.
00:16:00If he says yes or no, or says no and returns it, they can
00:16:03do something within 20 days. But if he puts it on his table
00:16:07and doesn't respond to it, then he freezes their powers as well. So he also has
00:16:11the veto. I mean, they can obstruct him, and he can
00:16:14obstruct them. And he called himself yesterday Mr.
00:16:18Veto. Now, the wounded
00:16:21Trump, the wounded wolf,
00:16:25needs to present something for his historical legacy, for
00:16:28his narcissism, Trump the narcissist, and for the public
00:16:31love, which will enter the elections in about a year from now. He will
00:16:34enter in two years, but the primary elections within the party begin in a year or
00:16:38a year and a half from now. What will he do? He has three files
00:16:41now on the international scene: the Gaza file,
00:16:45and I don't think he will do anything with the Gaza file, and the Ukraine file and his friend
00:16:48Putin, and the Iran file. I think he will start with the Iran
00:16:52file. By the way, you mentioned in the speech
00:16:55or in the report that
00:16:58American voters punished Trump for the war. This is not
00:17:02accurate. They did not punish him for the war. They punished
00:17:05him for the results of the war. He Professor Maysara, you didn't give
00:17:09me a direct answer to the main question. Will the external
00:17:12approach of the US
00:17:16with this change in the internal structure
00:17:19of the government? I mean, the House and Senate are no longer entirely Republican,
00:17:22but rather Democratic, and there is a fundamental difference between the
00:17:26ideas of Democrats and Republicans in domestic or foreign relations
00:17:29of the United States.
00:17:32This goes back to Trump's personality and Trump's psychology.
00:17:35Why did I separate, I mean, I separated the president's
00:17:39powers and the powers of the House
00:17:43the war with Iran. Why did I say now that he is the wounded wolf?
00:17:47A wounded wolf may start here, you go into
00:17:50predictions, you go into predictions about
00:17:54who will be able to prevail in any decision, if President
00:17:57Trump will be able to ally with the defeated Trump
00:18:01and Netanyahu. I will return to talk about Trump and Netanyahu in foreign
00:18:04relations, especially after the American announcements following these
00:18:08elections. Let me turn to my guest, Professor Wajdan Abdel Rahman.
00:18:11Professor Wajdan, you specialize in Iranian affairs and Middle Eastern
00:18:15issues. The most important question now, and everyone is looking forward to
00:18:19the issue of continuing the war on Iran, will Trump's
00:18:23government continue this war, especially since
00:18:26J.D. Vance, when he announced that
00:18:29the loss for the Republicans, said one of the reasons was the war we waged on
00:18:35First of all, my greetings to you, Professor Rama, and to your two esteemed
00:18:39guests. Despite the words of J.D.
00:18:42Vance, who is also
00:18:46statement, because he is looking forward
00:18:49to the next Republican
00:18:53elections in the United States of America, and as
00:18:56Vice President
00:18:58of the Republican Party, he will be
00:19:01the Republican nominee.
00:19:04He has started to feel or
00:19:07become certain that the living conditions
00:19:11of citizens are very important, and war is
00:19:15Therefore, he, it seems, has already started
00:19:19his election campaign
00:19:23to draw the American voter
00:19:26to his side. War is undoubtedly one of these
00:19:29factors, but the reluctance
00:19:32vote for the Republicans is due to the
00:19:36causes of the war, not the war itself, in addition to some policies that
00:19:40Trump adopted regarding
00:19:43the issue of asylum
00:19:47and also domestic policies.
00:19:50These are what caused several factors. Will
00:19:54this statement be enough? Will J.D. Vance's
00:19:57statement be enough for
00:20:00Americans to go to the polls for the Republicans
00:20:04again in the next elections, especially since
00:20:08they, I mean, went to the other
00:20:11camp? I mean, Republicans went and voted for Democrats during these
00:20:14elections. They voted
00:20:18for Democrats
00:20:21because the living
00:20:25conditions of citizens directly
00:20:28was very important. So they voted for
00:20:31their economic interests, for the interests of the citizen himself.
00:20:35And these elections,
00:20:38the legislative elections, are completely different
00:20:41from presidential elections. When
00:20:44there is an election between a Democrat
00:20:48for the presidency.
00:20:52And a Republican, there is no doubt that the Republican current will vote
00:20:56completely differently from
00:20:58the legislative
00:21:00elections. Regarding your
00:21:03question, that
00:21:06Trump indeed
00:21:10suffered a loss
00:21:12due to the Iranian-American war, but he
00:21:16is not the kind of person
00:21:20who accepts defeat.
00:21:23Therefore, we will see a reaction,
00:21:27as our colleague
00:21:30described him as the wounded wolf. Indeed,
00:21:33we will see an American reaction
00:21:37Iranian regime, especially if
00:21:40the regime does not respond and does not seize
00:21:44this opportunity and grants some concessions
00:21:48in this magnitude during the coming period, given that a response
00:21:52is expected, I mean, the American response in all cases. The American
00:21:55response this time will be costly for the Iranian regime
00:21:59to a great extent. It will not only target nuclear
00:22:03and military facilities and missile
00:22:05stockpiles or their production and drones, but this
00:22:09time it will target infrastructure, including petrochemicals
00:22:12in Iran, especially
00:22:15South Pars
00:22:18and also Mahshahr.
00:22:20And these two sites, each site
00:22:24has more than 15 partners in the same
00:22:27location, will be targeted, which
00:22:30electricity, water,
00:22:33and also the materials that Iran
00:22:36needs domestically. Bridges
00:22:39and railways will be targeted,
00:22:43and even fuel
00:22:46depots, which will cause a great
00:22:48Iran. And as Iran sought
00:22:51to pressure Trump through the American street
00:22:55or the American people, Trump will also
00:22:58pressure the Iranian regime through these targets
00:23:01through the street. Meaning that when
00:23:05this large infrastructure is targeted,
00:23:08there is no doubt that
00:23:11currently suffering
00:23:15the effects of the war, inflation,
00:23:18and the collapse of the Iranian currency. And we are witnessing
00:23:22repeated protests. If someone persuades President
00:23:25Trump and his government not to launch a strike and return
00:23:28to negotiations again, since all of them
00:23:32are projections and probabilities whose form
00:23:35has not yet become clear. Well, let me turn to my guest, Professor Khaled from
00:23:38Istanbul. The discussion about the American elections
00:23:42is strongly linked to what is happening in Gaza, as American support
00:23:46for Israel stopped before these elections through President
00:23:49Trump's announcement. The current Israeli government was also shocked
00:23:52that this support had simply
00:23:55stopped. To what extent will the results of these
00:23:59elections also affect American-Israeli relations and Trump's
00:24:02return to the political scene in Israel
00:24:05and the region?
00:24:08Undoubtedly, it will be clear that the Israeli-American
00:24:11link with the Republicans is clear, at least with
00:24:16the United States of America. Now, Israel's
00:24:20situation with America
00:24:23the elections. Let's not forget that there is
00:24:26a huge Jewish community in the United States of America, whose numbers
00:24:30are estimated in the millions, and it also
00:24:33results, it lost to the Democrats. Yes,
00:24:37yes, I am absolutely certain there is a great
00:24:41tension, there is anger in the American street in
00:24:44general. I mean, there are those who support the Republicans who went
00:24:48out of spite and supported the Democrats for the reasons that
00:24:52have recently emerged in the United States of America. So there is a disparity
00:24:56between voters and between Trump supporters and Democratic
00:24:59supporters. I mean, this is clear, but these timings that
00:25:03Trump set may also put him in an awkward position regarding his commitments with
00:25:06Israel and full support
00:25:09for Israel. This may also change the balance of the relationship between
00:25:13Netanyahu and Trump, especially since Netanyahu is also
00:25:15facing an electoral crisis.
00:25:20The ongoing crises in Israel and how far
00:25:23they have reached. So, generally, the relations between
00:25:26Israel and America will be greatly affected, which will also
00:25:29push US President Trump to other decisions that
00:25:33may also lead to other issues. There is diplomatic
00:25:36support, there is moral support, developmental support, there is support in
00:25:40all fields. Now, Israel
00:25:43at this time, which considers that Iran
00:25:46is a threat, a threat, I mean, to the existence
00:25:50of Israel as a state, and what Israeli politicians,
00:25:53led by Benjamin Netanyahu, always talk about. This comes
00:25:57at this time to be a disappointment for Israelis who
00:26:00defended the Republic. And built relations that might be
00:26:04different from before, especially with Trump and the promises that Trump
00:26:07gave. This may create
00:26:11a rift between Netanyahu and Trump and between the two parties as well,
00:26:15and also cause domestic problems at the level that
00:26:17the United States of America under Trump pledged
00:26:21to equip Israel with modern missiles, modern
00:26:24aircraft, everything related to military support. And at this time, it
00:26:28did so in previous periods after October 7th and supplied it with all these
00:26:32weapons. Yes. But with
00:26:35the Republicans, Israel's dealings are considered different from
00:26:39the Democrats. We noticed the relationship increased in intensity
00:26:42and diplomatic openness, mutual visits,
00:26:48ago, there was direct coordination between the Israeli and American armies, as
00:26:52the New York Times reported that
00:26:55these forces are being directly prepared. Perhaps they may be ready at
00:26:59any moment if Iran initiates an attack, or perhaps
00:27:03a new zero hour or a preemptive strike
00:27:06may be announced. And this also puts the region in a new
00:27:10crisis, in addition to the successive crises, in addition to
00:27:13the crisis now for the US President as president within America.
00:27:16And therefore, the US President is now suffering from
00:27:19great pressure at the diplomatic, political, and relations
00:27:23levels, especially since Israel is the biggest supporter
00:27:28at least in the war now between
00:27:32the Israeli-American side and also the Iranian side. Yes, well, Professor
00:27:35Maysara, the discussion about American-Israeli relations, since we
00:27:39turned to the repercussions
00:27:43the Middle East, also calls for a discussion about the Palestinian
00:27:46issue and what is happening in Gaza. Is it possible that
00:27:49American dealings
00:27:53will change, and we will see a return to talking about the two-state
00:27:58this file again? Madam, let us distinguish
00:28:01between the Israeli government led by Netanyahu
00:28:05and Israel and the United States of America. Let us distinguish between personalities.
00:28:09Here in Europe, in the European Union, some time ago, we were in
00:28:12Brussels, they were talking against
00:28:15the extremist right-wing government, extremely extremist, but they
00:28:19they separate between Israel, the state Israel, the entity,
00:28:22and Israel, the government. Therefore,
00:28:25Trump, I don't think that there might be an alliance of minorities
00:28:29against Iran specifically for a war against Iran, that Trump needs
00:28:35the previous answer. But Trump
00:28:38distanced himself yesterday from Netanyahu, and also
00:28:41even the movement that supports
00:28:44the
00:28:46candidates, the Zionist movement that supports the candidates, it started to review
00:28:50yesterday, it issued a decision that it started to retreat from supporting the candidates
00:28:54because they are losing, and the Democrats and Republicans started
00:28:57to flee from from not from
00:29:00Israel in the sense or the entity, but from the
00:29:04extremist right-wing government that committed grave violations
00:29:07against human rights and the massacres of genocide
00:29:11that we saw broadcast live on air. Therefore,
00:29:14Eisenkot yesterday spoke with
00:29:18Trump and told him that we can deal
00:29:21with each other here. When the swimmer
00:29:24Netanyahu leaves, I cannot use words here because they are forbidden in
00:29:27Europe. When Trump Netanyahu leaves,
00:29:31a government comes, Europe and Trump
00:29:35and the Democrats can deal with a government as a state.
00:29:39But this criminal, we have removed him. As for Gaza, there is
00:29:42a clear and explicit decision, whether Democratic or Republican, or even
00:29:46the European Union. The European Union categorically rejects the annexation of the West Bank
00:29:50and rejects changing territories
00:29:53by force, and this applies to Ukraine, but it also supports
00:29:57Israel, and every word
00:30:00defend itself, Israel's right to exist, and they consider that
00:30:04Gaza also was threatening the existence of
00:30:07Israel. Therefore, the strict stance will remain
00:30:11uh against
00:30:13against Hamas specifically, not Gaza. But most European countries now
00:30:17have recognized a Palestinian state. America and Germany almost
00:30:20did not recognize. Therefore, there is a distinction between
00:30:23Netanyahu's government and perhaps Eisenkot's government, which may
00:30:26ally with 19 seats
00:30:30for Arabs, and they start with iron, and perhaps Israel
00:30:33itself will also change its policies under some pressure from Egypt
00:30:37and from Saudi Arabia in the direction of Gaza, but
00:30:41the American view or the European view
00:30:44of Israel will not change. Israel as a state, nor even Hamas,
00:30:48but they will accept or push to move
00:30:51forward with some humanitarian advantages, not
00:30:55the advantages that grant Gaza to be a strong
00:30:58and stable state.
