## Resource

In this week's What We're Watching, our analysts examine three stories that reveal the growing strains in the international system.First, reports suggest the Pentagon has raised concerns about Israeli espionage efforts directed at American negotiators involved in talks with Iran. While allies routinely gather intelligence on one another, some U.S. officials believe recent Israeli activities have crossed a line, highlighting growing tensions within one of Washington's most important strategic relationships.Next, we look at the war in Ukraine, which has now lasted longer than the First World War. More than four years after Russia's invasion, the conflict remains locked in a costly stalemate. We assess how Russia adapted its economy and military, Ukraine's dependence on Western support, and what the war's longevity tells us about the future of the conflict.Finally, we turn to Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where deadly protests have erupted following a government crackdown, internet shutdowns, mass arrests and a dispute over reserved legislative seats. We explore the political status of the territory, the roots of the unrest, and why the protests could have wider implications for the region.Join us as we break down the geopolitics behind the headlines.⏱ Chapters0:00 Intro0:10 Pentagon Raises Spying Threat Level from Israel1:31 Ukraine's War Is Now Longer Than World War One2:43 Deadly Protests in Pakistan-Administered KashmirIf you like this podcast and want to learn more about the issues raised, please check out website http://www.thegeopolity.com
