A turning point for US foreign policy?

As the 2024 US elections draw closer, the rest of the world is seeking a clarity on the future of US global priorities. With two wars dominating international headlines, and roiling politics inside the US, including in the US Congress, the Biden administration is under growing pressure to change course and deliver stability in the Middle East, and also to set clearer goals with respect to Ukraine.

With the 2024 US presidential election approaching, questions are mounting domestically over the Biden administration’s handling of the Gaza war and its wider policy towards the Middle East.

Questions to be discussed include:

How will the upcoming US presidential election influence US strategy in the Middle East?
What should the role of the US be in brokering a cessation in the conflict?
How is US strategy being shaped by the broader foreign policy agenda and by domestic electoral concerns?
