Donald Trump’s whirlwind involvement in the Israel-Iran War, first with force and then with negotiation, begs the question: are military strength and diplomacy contradictory — or compatible?

On this episode of Identity/Crisis, host Yehuda Kurtzer sits down with former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer to understand the impact of power on strategic negotiations, how heads of state are thinking about the current conflict, and why only diplomatic leadership can bring closure.
