Multimedia for this item Click Image to View Video BESA note: Dr. Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum offers a comprehensive survey of political developments, largely related to the rise of the Islamist threat in the eight nations of the Eastern Mediterranean – Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Libya. He also notes the rising involvement of Russia and China in the region. He sharply criticizes the gap between President Erdogan's immense skill in domestic politics and his failure to read right the regional and international challenges; and gives Israel high marks as a master of her own fate. DP note: My comment about Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from 5:01 to 6:02, comparing him to Saddam Hussein, riled the Turkish ambassador, leading to the exchange I discussed at "Erdoğan to Me: Stay Out of Turkey."
