Netanyahu's substantive concern must remain at the center of any agreement. Israel cannot withdraw only to discover that Hamas has preserved tunnels, weapons, command structures or the capacity to rebuild them. October 7 made such a risk unacceptable.
While the Mecca Agreement is being touted by some as countries finally taking responsibility for their own defense instead of relying exclusively on the United States (as Saudi Arabia currently does), this arrangement looks set to produce "unintended
We have now arrived at a time when European leaders and "elites" are, once again, in desperate need of deradicalization -- from being "pro-Hamas." Sometimes the sentiment is presented as "pro-Palestine," but it really has nothing to do with Palestinians
Is the war launched by Israel and the US against Iran already over bar the shouting? As far as the war that the Islamic Republic of Iran started in 1979, the answer is no. The regime created by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini built its legitimacy around its
Tehran believes its path to victory is not necessarily through defeating the United States militarily, but through managing the confrontation until President Donald Trump's term ends in January 2029. For the remaining time of Trump's presidency, the
