About this episode
Philip Gordon, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, is a long-time Washington insider who worked on Middle East policy for the Obama administration and is now an informal adviser to the Biden campaign.

After decades of American engagement in the region, Gordon shares his thoughts on why no recent US president has been able to ignore it.
