So Steve has, um, a number of affiliations, but currently he's senior visiting fellow at the ISEAS Institute for Southeast Asian Studies Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, which is a part-time role.

But he has a number of other interesting roles as well, including the World Economic Forum Global Futures Council on Trade, where he is a member; The Economist's Impact Future of Trade Initiative, interesting title, uh, Steering Committee; and the Italian Institute for International Political Studies.
PeterHOST
And Steve's got, got a very distinguished career at the Hinrich Foundation, so in the regional trade policy context.

But for the purposes of today's conversation, Steve was also a US trade policy official, which is really where you started, at the United States Trade Representative and later the Department of Commerce, negotiating with Canadians and Mexicans, I assume, the original NAFTA, now the USMCA.

On the other side, Israel is also heading towards elections that will have consequences not only for Israel, but also for the future of the West Bank.
Nicola MissagliaHOST
But how much will what is happening in the West Bank actually shape the way Israelis vote? To answer this question, I'm joined by Sarah Isabella Lakin, researcher at ISPI's Mina Center.
Nicola MissagliaHOST
Sarah, how will the West Bank actually matter in the upcoming Israeli elections?
Sara Isabella LeykinGUEST
Probably not in a straightforward way.
