Created in June 2020, MEI’s Defense Leadership Series is a speakers' forum for current and former high-level military and defense leaders from both the United States and the Middle East to discuss the most important policy issues facing the two sides. The series was inaugurated on June 10 with a conversation with U.S. Marine Corps General and Commander of CENTCOM Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr.
In this episode, MEI Senior Fellow and Director of the Defense and Security Program Bilal Y. Saab speaks to Council on Foreign Relations President Richard N. Haass. This conversation will focus on the challenges and opportunities of President Joe Biden's Middle East policy. Saab will be taking audience questions throughout, and factor as many as possible into the discussion.
