Richard Haass: 2024 Reshaped the Middle East in a Most Surprising Set of Developments

EXCERPT:

HAASS: “When history is written about 2024, a big part of the focus is going to be on the Middle East. Let's just be honest here. I don't think any of us had what's happened on our bingo cards. The devastation of Hezbollah, the ouster of the regime in Syria, the weakening of Iran, the weakening of Hamas. So it's -- this is really, in many ways, a reshaped Middle East. And my guess is, again, when history is written, that's probably the biggest and certainly most surprising set of developments of what has been a consequential year.”
