The guiding principle in our region, historically shaped by the Arab-Palestinian-Israeli conflict, was once “land for peace.” This concept served as the legal interpretation of UN Security Council Resolution 242, which was seen as a foundation for peace. Today, however, we face a new reality: …

While the regional tensions today are high, particularly since October 7 and the war on Gaza, the scene is very clear. After nearly ten months of war and the tragedies it has caused, the lines have been drawn, and there can be no more lies or wishful thinking. There is no need, today, to explain…

It is a cliche that the devil is in the details. It seems that the devil in the details of the Gaza ceasefire deal poses more of a challenge than Hamas and the mediators had anticipated.

The scene before us is extremely fluid. From Washington to Gaza, and from Tehran to Ukraine, we find signs that, unless everyone wakes up to the gravity of these ongoing shifts, a dangerous moment of madness is imminent. Take the divisions in the United States and the Democratic Party, for example…
