French President François Hollande, who suffers the lowest approval rating in the history of his country, has become the first Western leader to attend a meeting of the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council.

In this edition of The Debate, Press TV asks Richard Becker with the ANSWER Coalition from San Francisco and American Institute for Foreign Policy President Michael Lane from Washington D.C. whether this amounts to a sell-out in return for lucrative arms deals with the world's most repressive regimes, such as Saudi Arabia.
