As We Approach Phase Two of President Trump’s Plan, What is in Store for Israel and the Middle East?
Featuring: David Wurmser, Senior Analyst Middle East Affairs
Date: December 10, 2025
Time; 12 Noon, Eastern Standard Time, 7 p.m. Jerusalem Time
As we approach phase two of President Trump’s Plan, does Hamas have any plans to disarm, which is one of the President’s conditions for proceeding further? Looking north, will President Joseph Aoun, as promised to dismantle the Hezbollah infrastructure? What is happening with Egypt’s commitments made in 1979 to dismantle its military force in the Sinai, and why have they smuggled weapons into Gaza? Why is Jordan participated in the smuggling of Weapons into Judea and Samaria, the West Bank? Is Ahmed al Sharaa capable of making an enduring peace with Israel? Where are we on our relationship with Saudi Arabia?
Here to discuss this, and much more is David Wurmser.
About our Speaker: David Wurmser is a Senior Middle East Analyst for the Center for Security Policy, and is a member of EMET’s Board of Advisors. He served as Middle East Adviser to former US Vice President Dick Cheney, as special assistant to John R. Bolton at the State Department and as a research fellow on the Middle East at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). He served in the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence officer at the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He has written many widely acclaimed books and papers, such as the 1996 report A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, a paper prepared for incoming Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. This advocated pre-emptive strikes against Iran and Syria, the removal of Saddam Hussein from Iraq and the abandonment of traditional “land for peace” negotiations with Palestinians.
In 1999, Wurmser wrote Tyranny’s Ally: America’s Failure to Defeat Saddam Hussein (published by AEI Press), which argued that President Clinton’s policies in Iraq were failing to contain the country.
In 2000, Wurmser helped draft a document entitled “Ending Syria’s Occupation of Lebanon: The US Role?”, which called for a confrontation with the regime in Damascus. The document said that Syria was developing “weapons of mass destruction”.
