He examines Saudi Arabia under Mohammed bin Salman, particularly MBS’s relationship with the UAE and Mohammed bin Zayed, and the implications of this alliance for Yemen, Somaliland, and wider regional politics, including Israel. We also discuss the kidnapping involving Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, situating it within broader questions of power, coercion, and international politics.</p><p><br></p><p>You can find Sami Hamdi here:</p><p>X: https://x.com/SALHACHIMI</p><p>IG: https://www.instagram.com/salhachimi</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Become a member here:</p><p>https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membership</p><p><br></p><p>Or give your one-off donation here:</p><p>https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/donate</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to the audio version of the podcast:</p><p><br></p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636a</p><p><br></p><p>Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merch</p><p><br></p><p>Find us on:</p><p>X: https://x.com/thinking_muslim</p><p><br></p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/</p><p><br></p><p>Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslim</p><p><br></p><p>BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.social</p><p><br></p><p>Threads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcast</p><p><br></p><p>Find Muhammad Jalal here:</p><p>X: https://twitter.com/jalalayn</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.com</p><p><br></p><p>Website Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com</p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer:</p><p>The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.
