There must be some connection between the “Project 2025: Mandate for Leadership – The Conservative Promise,” prepared by the Heritage Foundation, and Donald Trump’s domestic and foreign policies. I reviewed it – it’s about a thousand pages long. When asked about it during his presidential…

How have the challenges surrounding Gaza shifted so quickly from the removal of Hamas to the forced displacement of its entire population? Hamas has once again miscalculated future developments, particularly regarding Donald Trump’s return to the US presidency. The group stalled or delayed…

Many people say that Donald Trump, the returning US president, is merely making loud noises. My opinion, in short, is that Trump could be anything – a sound bomb or a devastating bomb. We are facing four years that will likely be extraordinary. They could be the nightmare we fear – Palestinians…

Even those who disagree with President Donald Trump acknowledge that, under his leadership, the United States has been experiencing, from day one, a revolution leading to significant changes, even if he hasn’t fulfilled all his promises literally. What is important and different this time is that…

The Gaza war has nearly ended, and it is time to cease the exchanges about it. Much has been said, whether truth or lies... So, what is your excuse for a word already spoken?

I had previously questioned the depth of Tehran’s relationship with Bashar al-Assad, as he considered it his pillar of support. It saved him in 2014 but failed after ten years. In the final weeks of his life, Hafez al-Assad decided in March 2000 to negotiate with Israel. He was in a hurry,…

Everyone is searching for clues about the possible foreign policy of the new Damascus regime, especially concerning Iran. If it turns out to be against Iran, this would be a significant development and could potentially change the face of the region. The initial impressions suggest possibilities…

Syria has witnessed two major events, not just one: the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime and the rise of the Islamist group “Hayat Tahrir al-Sham” to power. The fall of al-Assad is part of a series of collapses of the fascist regimes of the 1960s, including Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s…
