Jamie speaks with Deborah Amos. She’s a Ferris Professor of Journalism in Residence at Princeton University. Deborah is an award winning journalist who spent much of her career as an international correspondent for National Public Radio. Her reporting on the Middle East was featured regularly on NPR's flagship programs. She's the author of two books - Eclipse of the Sunnis: Power, Exile, and Upheaval in the Middle East, and Lines in the Sand: Desert Storm and the Remaking of the Arab World. Deborah regularly publishes on her sub-stack page under Deb Amos. Jamie and Deborah discuss the situation in Syria and the possible outcomes for the country after the fall of Assad. Jamie asks her what Trump’s return to the White House means for the Middle East, focusing on what his administration could mean for Gaza and the West Bank. He also asks her about western media’s coverage of the Middle East and how she responds to criticism that western media has a pro-Israel bias.
