... on Israel and its allies following the Yom Kippur War in October 1973. Efforts to further promote the Abraham Accords between Israel and the conservative Arab monarchies continued, albeit fading from the public eye. The only consistent supporters of Palestine were the stubborn Yemeni Houthis, who have attacked foreign ships in the Red Sea. However, it was Egypt—not Israel—that suffered the most from these attacks, losing nearly half of its revenues from the Suez Canal.

China is more than willing to contribute to regional stability and peace
On July 23, 2024, China successfully hosted and mediated the internal reconciliation of Palestine, where 14 Palestinian factions signed the Beijing Declaration. China’s role has certainly been a decisive one, though the roles of Russia and other regional actors in their previous efforts to aid Palestine are also notable. The implications ...
... successfully brokered the normalization of ties between Israel and four Arab countries, this will not last as long as the U.S. continues to ignore the elephant in the room and the plight of the Palestinians. Hostilities will resume periodically between Palestine and Israel, which means that permanent peace in the region remains impossible.

Palestinian Statehood after October 7: Any Odds of Success?
It is difficult to give an unbiased assessment of the situation in Israel and Palestine as a whole. In terms of security, while there are outbreaks of violence ...
The debate over the post-war arrangements in Gaza is unlikely to put an end to the controversy about a possible U.S. presence “on the ground.”
Israel’s Operation Arnon to free a group of hostages from the Gaza Strip has brought back into focus just how deeply the U.S. military is involved in the eight-month-long escalation of the conflict. The bloody infiltration into the Nuseirat refugee camp—where four Israelis who have now returned home were held—was partly organized due to direct intelligence...
Trump’s hard negotiations is best for Palestinian and Israeli future
President Joe Biden finds himself in the corner of the sandbox when the mainstream media calls him out for his dithering on the anti-Semitic demonstrations across universities in America by politically conflating Islamophobia on the same level. The escape hatch for Biden’s media friends to prop him up is a growing narrative that if you do not like Biden’s bungling policy in supporting both Israel and Gaza, then you will be aghast...
... since the commencement of the Gaza operation), have relatives, friends and neighbors—a new foundation is essentially laid today for a longer-term mutual antagonism and hatred.
Unexpectedly for many, Israel has completely lost the information war with Palestine: perhaps, never in the history of the Jewish State has the anti-Israeli—and even anti-Semitic—sentiment in the world been so popular and the sympathy for the Palestinians so unanimous. A few countries in the Global South have recalled their ...

... the Middle East: In Search of New Models
If we review the dynamics of the conflict in the Middle East, the longest of our time, we can notice that it gradually but consistently transformed, upon the adoption of the UN resolution on the partition of Palestine in 1947, from an interstate stand-off that went through three wars (1947, 1967 and 1973) into the problem of Israeli-Palestinian relations. That relationship until the 1970s and 1980s had been marked by Palestinian attempts, supported by part ...
