i24NEWS & INSS National Security Podcast: The Gulf’s Dilemma: Public Opinion on Israel, Gaza, and Trump

As the war in Gaza unfolds, Gulf governments are caught between diplomatic pragmatism and public opposition. While leaders in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain weigh their strategic interests, the streets tell a different story—where anti-Israel sentiment and Palestinian solidarity remain strong. Meanwhile, Qatar continues its dual approach—acting as a mediator in the hostage deal while maintaining ties with Hamas. On this week’s episode of The National Security Podcast, Nicole Zedeck and Ilan Zalayat from the Institute for National Security Studies explore how Gulf states perceive the war, the hostage deal, and Trump’s return to power.
