Israel’s principal objective in its war against the Gaza Strip continues to be to destroy and uproot Palestinian residents and annex Palestinian territory under the pretense of defeating Hamas, as the Israeli leadership has stated time and time again. As such, the Arab world faces a difficult choice regarding post-war arrangements. Arab leaders were expected to firmly state their stance against Israel’s horrific war of aggression against Gaza and a threat of igniting a wider regional catastrophe at the one-day meeting in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The Palestinian Authority (PA) organized the Arab summit…

In an attempt to address the pressing humanitarian needs and contain the conflict in Gaza, summits continue to take place all over the world. Perhaps the most active in this is our closest neighbor and very concerned Egypt, which is making great efforts to resolve this massacre and to provide the Palestinians with food and everything they need to help them survive in these very difficult conditions. The meeting between President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Emir of Qatar, took place in Qatar on November 10. He participated at the Joint…

Recently, an audio recording of a confidential meeting surfaced in the world’s media, revealing the inner workings of the Israeli command and completely lifting all the secrecy that had previously surrounded the military and its political affairs. Key figures, including Aviv Kohavi, Israel’s former Chief of General Staff, attended this high-level meeting that shed light on military operations and strategic discussions. Aviv Kohavi is an influential figure in the Israeli military. His role as the architect of the Tnufa plan…

Few know how Israel’s horrific and murderous assault in Gaza, which has lasted nearly two months, will conclude or how many ordinary Palestinians will die. However, the Middle East and the rest of the globe will come to understand a new reality when the guns finally stop firing and the carpet bombing stops. The human cost already incurred—more than 11,000 dead, over half of whom were women and children—and the more than 25,000 wounded—will be far greater than any outcome regarding Hamas…

A robust conclusion emerged from the unprecedented Arab-Islamic summit held in the capital of Saudi Arabia, but no real steps were taken to counter Israel and its Western backers, particularly the US. Leaders of the Muslim world eventually convened in Riyadh for a conference on the Palestinian issue, following over a month and a half of ceaseless bombing that claimed thousands of civilian lives. Top leaders from major Muslim nations, including Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saudi…

The aftermath of Hamas’s Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on 7 October has left Israeli companies devastated as settlers face an unfamiliar situation, unprecedented in the absence of government financial injections and aid for them. More than a month into the Hamas operation, the war in Gaza has had a devastating effect on Israeli business activity, with hundreds of companies on the verge of bankruptcy. Economists and financiers estimate that the initial cost of the Gaza war to Tel Aviv is $51 billion, or about 10 per cent of Israel’s GDP. Israel’s Labour Ministry reports that some 765,000 Israelis…

The fighting between Israel and Palestine is now in full swing and will continue for some time to come. But despite the uncertainty of the finale, the consequences both regionally and globally are already visible now, and it can be said that the world will no longer be what it was before. One of the most obvious and clear facts may be the further sharp decline of American hegemony in the region and the world. Against the backdrop of the latest events in Gaza, the US has fully demonstrated its complete inability to play the role of hegemon, which will further widen the gulf between the US and the rest of the world…

Speaking at a military graduation ceremony in mid-October, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi made his country’s approach to the bloody crisis in the Palestinian Gaza Strip clear and concise. At the same time, he emphasised that his words are “verified and cannot have a double interpretation”. In his view, Egypt today is in the midst of “very dangerous processes” directly related to the designs of a number of international players to change “the trajectory of a just solution to the Palestinian problem on the principles of the Oslo Accords, based on the provisions of the peace…

The Kingdom’s news agency (SPA) reported that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have officially resumed ceasefire talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The ceasefire talks are mainly facilitated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the African Union and IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development, includes Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda and Eritrea). Of late, however, the three have been unceremoniously interfered with by the senile US, which, as the unipolar world it created leaves the world stage…

Whatever your opinion about Israel’s war in Gaza, when the dust finally settles on the battlefields, the world will no longer be the same—unipolar. The deadly Hamas strike on southern Israel on October 7 and subsequent frenzied Israeli response split nations in ways not seen since the US-British invasion of Iraq in 2003. The incident altered the course of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for both parties and beyond. It may be argued, without exaggeration, that the latest war in the Middle East will have thunderous effects, shaking the already weak world order based on the West’s dominance, led by the United States…

The historic Summit of Leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was held towards the end of October in Riyadh. By all accounts, it was the first in history to draw up a new strategic plan for closer integration of two substantial and influential blocs. Two well-known figures chaired the summit: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and Indonesian President Joko Widodo. The Riyadh conference established platforms for political discourse, security cooperation, climate change mitigation…

The current violent conflict between Israel and Hamas has been continuing for over two weeks now, resulting in a large number of deaths every hour. Since October 7 the Israeli army has been continually and mercilessly subjecting the entirely blockaded Gaza Strip to powerful bombardments in the face of protests from around the world. Predictably, the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital was the site of a particularly tragic incident that claimed the lives of more than 500 Palestinians and left hundreds injured, including both patients and displaced persons who were seeking shelter in the hospital…
