The war in the Gaza enclave-what’s next?
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 Mideast Conflict and the Korean Peninsula: Part Three. Potentially Broken Seals.
In this article, we will talk about the global consequences of this conflict, especially taking into account the fact that while this text was being written, even more gasoline was poured on the fire. According to Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, Israel launched the guided missiles at al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip on 17 October, which was overcrowded with wounded and refugees, allegedly several hours after Israel’s General Security Service contacted hospital staff several times, threatening to blow up the hospital…
Hamas Leaders Leave Turkey and Hand Over Hostages to Iran
The military conflict in the Middle East continues to keep the world diplomatic community on its toes. Israel is still planning a ground operation against Hamas militants and commanders in the Gaza Strip to clean up the territory once and for all. In planning this operation, Tel Aviv ignored numerous calls from various countries and international organizations urging it to refrain from any actions that could lead to a collective massacre of civilians living in this Arab enclave, numbering more than 2 million people. The temporary pause before X-Day is motivated by the need for more thorough preparation…
Are there any ways to resolve the bloody conflict in Gaza?
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…
Iran refrains from direct military intervention in the Israel-Palestine conflict
The military battle between the Palestinian Hamas and Israel remains a prominent matter of international concern. Despite the chaotic process of building conditional blocs of pro- and anti-Israeli forces, the armed conflict is yet to result in lengthy political discussions with an undetermined end. The West, led by the United States, the United Kingdom, and leading EU countries (France, Germany, Italy, and others), has unambiguously sided with Israel in this conflict, accusing Hamas of terrorism. Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak visited Israel to pledge their political and military support for the Jewish…
Peace in the Middle East Will not be Made-in-US
Despite the fact that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine is a direct outcome of Washington’s flawed policies, the Biden administration is doing everything it can to turn this conflict into a wider war in the region. Providing US$3.8 billion in military aid to Israel versus US$100 million only for Gaza clearly demonstrates Washington’s priorities. For this reason, Arab states, including the UAE, otherwise signatories of the now infamous Abraham Accords, are not only criticising Israel but also showing who they think is the best possible global power that must side with them vis-à-vis Israel and in support of Palestine…
The number of mediators has no impact on the outcome of the Hamas-Israel confrontation
For more than a week, the Middle East has been the focal point of a “heated conflict” between Hamas rebels and Israel Defense Forces. This war’s brutality is astounding in terms of the number of dead and wounded on both sides, the intensity of the exchange of fire, and the amount of collateral damage. More than 1,500 casualties over the course of nine to ten days of battle is a record for Israel. War is usually predictable because it is preceded by political inconsistencies that cannot be handled diplomatically, the assembling…
Is Turkey rushing to play the role of mediator in the Arab-Israeli conflict?
The ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East clearly has its roots in the history of the formation both of the state of Israel and of Palestine, or rather by the problems caused by the geography of the territories provided by the UN for the foundation of Israel. Throughout its 75-year history, successive governments of the Jewish state have resorted to force in order to extend their country’s borders. In pursuance of this policy, Tel Aviv has received support from the global Jewish diaspora and key Western countries, especially the main “Anglo-Saxon” nations, namely the United States and Great Britain. It was through the conquest…
Only Lies Matter! Israel’s Problems: Convenient Time in the BIGGER Scheme of Things!
Seems now that no lives matter—Only Lies Matter!
I would like to hope that there will be clever enough people to discuss how Israel has brought the lion’s share of its current plight onto its own head. However, I know that this is not going to happen. Such a mess, however, at first, impression appears to be too convenient in the BIGGER scheme of things. I wonder too ‘how many other Jews’, myself being the grandson of a Zionist woman who was born in the Russian Empire and immigrated to the US, are thinking in this direction, and how many of those might be able to willing…
Is the Israeli crisis a harbinger of global catastrophe or a solution to the Palestinian question?
The October tension in the Middle East this year was supplemented by a new flash point in the smoldering Arab-Israeli conflict. During the first week of this month, Syria and Israel turned out to be the epicenters of military escalation. After the terrorist attack in Ankara on October 1 this year, the Turkish authorities, in order to suppress the militant cells of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) banned in Turkey, actually started a military operation in the north and north-west of Syria. Then, on October 7 of this year…
This Year's Major Shock Waves that Rippled the Middle East
The departing year has not been easy for the Middle East. Devastating conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen have resulted in multiple causalities, destruction and a new flood of refugees. Mostly these events are linked to the policies of the West that, while sanctimoniously...
