Tehran’s Sudan Gambit

Sudan is often viewed primarily through a humanitarian lens, as a devastating civil war unfolding on the periphery of the world's strategic thinking. Yet what is happening there could have consequences far beyond its borders. Since April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a brutal war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by Gen.

Abraham Accords reshape the Middle East after five years

We had a ceasefire... Hamas broke it

A ceasefire was firmly in place until the morning of October 7, but it was Hamas that violated it. Those advocating for an end to the fighting have overlooked this fundamental fact. Rather than being an instigator, Israel was responding to aggression imposed upon it. Any ceasefire at this stage would ultimately benefit Hamas, allowing them to regroup while undermining Israel’s security.

At This Point in Time, a Two-State Solution Is Asking Israel to Commit Suicide

October 7th was by no means the first time that Hamas showed the world who they were, but the atrocities committed that day will forever mark a massive turning point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For perhaps the first time, Israelis were left with no choice but to believe the Palestinian side whose actions were nowhere near signaling for peace, nor any solution result in...

A two-state solution now is tantamount to suicide for Israel

Sinwar killing ‘lowered barriers’ to Arab involvement in Gaza’s day-after plan, but obstacles remain

The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar over the weekend did not end the war in Gaza, but it is a potent symbol of a new phase, in which the terrorist group is mostly defeated and resorting to guerilla...

The world has betrayed and forgotten the Israeli hostages

Just days after the International Court of Justice issued an opaque ruling ordering Israel to halt its operations in Rafah that risked destroying the city’s civilian population, the Israeli military was reportedly responsible for what Prime Minister Netanyahu called “a tragic accident,” part of a strike in a humanitarian area that killed 45 people

In Gaza plan, Arabs recast the future

In almost every corner of the world since late January, the “America First” agenda of President Donald Trump has nudged nations to rethink their identity, even core principles. Europe has tightened its unity around higher defense spending. Canadians have reinvigorated their identity. American allies scattered across Asia are looking more to each other for support. For now, an inward-looking United States is forcing introspection elsewhere.Less noticed has been a marked shift in the Middle East....
