A Changing Middle East: Who Holds the Power?

Is the United States losing its influence in the Middle East?

A new regional defense pact and growing questions about American resolve are sending shockwaves across the region. As Washington relies on sanctions and diplomacy, many in the Middle East are asking a simple question: Who is the "strong horse" now?

Dan Diker is joined by veteran Palestinian affairs journalist Khaled Abu Toameh for an in-depth discussion on the changing balance of power in the region. Together, they examine why perception matters as much as military strength, what the new Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan defense pact could mean for the future and whether America's current strategy is strengthening or weakening its position in the Middle East.
