The Temporary Port, a Bridgehead for What Lies Ahead

The process of bringing aid into Gaza took the form of a Hollywood movie, and seemed to be derived from scenes of films produced about World War II. Spectators in the cinema halls used to watch what was described militarily as landing operations, which saw thousands of soldiers dropping from…

The PA And The PLO

Regardless of the polls showing a decline in popular support, and despite ongoing excavation efforts to dig up a body to run things after this war, particularly in Gaza, bets are on the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization once again. Both are organs of a single body that…

Mr. Borrell’s Initiative

Emptiness generates a stronger echo than sounds. This principle applies to politics, especially to political settlements. Although the Palestinian struggle has been ongoing for longer than any other and has generated more conflicts, coups, and turbulence than any other, it is always subject, when…

Gaza’s and Israel’s Tunnels

If Israel were to calculate the losses it has suffered in its ongoing war, it could only come to this conclusion: Gaza, with its tunnels, has become a nightmare that strikes more fear than armies and all their lethal and devastating tools. Israel has dug itself into its own tunnel, and it is…

Al-Arouri…And Lethal Technology

Saleh al-Arouri decided his fate when he chose to take a path that turns one into a prospective martyr. Spending a long time imprisoned in his homeland, or dying a martyr wherever his war leads him. He was threatened with assassination in Türkiye. Although he had reasonable protection, it was not a…

A Calm Letter to President Biden during a Tumultuous Time

Do you know, Mr. President, how many people were killed by Israel in Gaza and who they were? Just to remind you... 20,000 so far... and there is no end in sight. Seven thousand children have gone, not counting the fetuses who died in their mothers' wombs. Young people, adults, elderly people…

The Palestinians… And the Alliances with Moscow and Tehran

As soon as the late Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser introduced Yasser Arafat to the Soviets in 1969, the Palestinians began using the term strategic alliance to describe their relationship with the socialist bloc led by the Soviet Union. This term was only adopted by one side. The Soviets…

A War Without Evacuation Ships

The Palestinians have fought two major wars: one went on for 88 days and left both sides with a high number of casualties. However, it led to the withdrawal of the Palestinian revolutionary forces from the South and Beirut, before they left Lebanon altogether. The Israelis called the 1982 war …

Who Will Rule Gaza after the War?

This question was raised prior to the current Gaza war, specifically during the rule of Hamas, and before and during every war that occurred at that time. Benjamin Netanyahu constantly repeated it, whether on specific occasions or randomly. Suppose that the current war finally ends. This will…

The Hezbollah Mystery in Al-Aqsa Flood

The Hamas movement fought several major battles with Israel, and with its limited capabilities compared to its opponent, resisted and maintained its rule of Gaza and its friction with Israel. The battles it fought did not involve any external party, “in the sense of field participation.” But in…
