Gaza's Riviera and Türkiye's Ambitions

PTS host Joy Votrobek and ASCF Sr. Analyst Laurence Sanford discuss Trump's Gaza plans and Erdogan's vision of a New Ottoman Empire. Both are two distinct visions yet intersecting geopolitical aspirations that highlight the complexities of regional politics. Erdogan's ambition to revive a sense of Ottoman grandeur seeks to expand Türkiye's influence across the Middle East and beyond.

Mr. Sanford is a U.S. Navy veteran who served four years with the CIA. Ms. Votrobek has a degree in International Relations and has worked in security services for over seven years.

The American Security Council Foundation was founded in 1958. It successfully started a Peace Through Strength Coalition with the bipartisan support of over 200 members of Congress and over 160 national organizations and individuals. One of those members was President Ronald Reagan. Reagan thanked the ASCF for its work on a "Peace Through Strength" strategy that helped end the Cold War. The ASCF is an educational, nonpartisan, non-profit 501(c)(3). Please help continue our mission by donating at www.ascf.us/donate/.
