US Senator on Trump 2.0 & Middle East Policy, Ex-CIA Director on Jimmy Carter's Legacy

In this week's episode of One Decision, host Christina Ruffini speaks with Democratic United States Senator Chris Van Hollen, a member of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They spoke from his office in Washington D.C. about various foreign policy challenges, including the war in Ukraine, the future of Syria and other countries affected by the Arab Spring, and the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. Van Hollen says President Biden hasn’t leveraged American influence effectively regarding Israel’s handling of the war and shares his perspective on how the incoming Trump administration might approach Israel and Netanyahu’s government. Plus, co-host and former United States Secretary of Defense and former CIA Director Leon Panetta shares memories of former US President Jimmy Carter and what his real legacy will be.
