An Iran-US war would be an ideal scenario for Israel. On the one hand, Israel is systematically killing and driving the Palestinians out of their homes, which is allowing it to impose the so-called one-state solution. In this context, if the US plunges into a war with Iran and can inflict a lot of military and economic damage on Israel’s biggest enemy state in the region, that is the best possible scenario for Israel’s future standing in this region. On the one hand, US military engagement in the ongoing war will increase, and on the other hand, a US war on Iran might limit…

When it comes to explaining this question, i.e., why the US is attacking the Houthis in the Red Sea, most mainstream western media gives a similar answer, i.e., the Houthis are part of Iran’s “axis of resistance”; the Houthis seek Israel’s destruction; the Houthis are a terrorist group seeking to bring Yemen under their exclusive control, etc. Almost every major western media outlet has singularly highlighted what they call is the central Houthi slogan: “Death to America, Death to Israel, curse the Jews and victory to Islam”…

It’s January 16, 2024, and an American container ship is burning in the Red Sea, hit by a Houthi missile. But this was no ordinary ship, and there was a good reason it was traversing what has become the most dangerous waterway on earth, particularly for American shipping.  This was a weapons carrier, loaded with newly designed “technical,” Toyota Tundra trucks, top of the line, modified for terrorism over the open desert…

Reflecting on some of the tragic events that took place in 2023 and on possible ways to prevent them and resolve them at the negotiating table, one cannot help but recall the famous quote from Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the once majestic, but now camped in Europe’s backyard, Great Britain. He was apparently right when he said, “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities.” The ongoing catastrophic and horrific massacre of Palestinians in Gaza is a prime example. Instead of taking the right position…

The US administration’s de facto backing of Israel’s barbaric bombing of the Gaza Strip is causing international outcry. Notably, some Arab newspapers recently cited a famous quote from former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill: “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities.” “The US administration has chosen to provide biased and unlimited support to Israel…

The Middle East Hamas-Israel military conflict, obviously, would not have taken so many months of bloody fighting if interested external forces had not taken part in it. While Israel is patronized by the United States and Europe, Hamas finds support among Arab countries, Iran and Turkey. The international community is increasingly condemning the Israel Defense Forces’ disproportionate strikes on the Palestinian enclave in Gaza, which is reflected in the voting process at the UN General Assembly. In addition, key global players such as Russia and China also condemn…

The meeting of the UN Security Council on December 8 was a rather sad and very instructive event for all mankind. At this meeting, the United States used its veto right to brazenly and rudely single-handedly block a resolution introduced by the United Arab Emirates and supported by 97 countries. This resolution, as we know, demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in order to put an end to the insane, unprecedented and deliberate daily killings of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli army. With its shameful vote, the United States proved and showed to the whole world…

Despite a solid list of differences and contradictions between Washington and Ankara (involving some regional issues related to the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the South Caucasus, anti-Russian sanctions, relations with Russia and China, Armenian, Cypriot, Kurdish and Palestinian issues, etc.), Turkey still remains an important NATO member and a military-political ally of the United States. The dynamics of regional events in the Middle East, associated with the ongoing military conflict between Hamas and Israel, have again revealed some contradictions between the United States and Turkey…

The latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the current carnage inflicted by Israel on all Palestinians in Gaza, will continue for some time and end in another tragedy for the Palestinians. But in the long run, all these events will lead to huge negative consequences that all the people of the Middle East, including the Israelis, will be experiencing for a long time. But while none of the parties in the world will benefit from the disaster, “European countries will particularly pay a higher price for the ongoing conflict,” notes the Iranian publication Tehran Times…

Deep divisions are growing in Israel over the Palestinian bloodbath unleashed in the Gaza Strip and whether to continue this globally condemned war. Many public opinion polls show a significant decline in support for the current war cabinet and its Palestinian policies. Despite more than two months of an intensive bombing campaign and a ground operation ostensibly directed against Hamas, the Israeli occupying army has made little progress in achieving its stated objectives, namely, the release of hostages, the destruction of the Hamas military organization and consequently the Palestinian resistance…

Both the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) Operation Iron Swords and Hamas’s Al-Aqsa Flood military campaign against Israel remain ongoing and have not yet yielded the desired results. The majority civilian population of the Gaza Strip is suffering as a result of the progressing Israeli military assault and siege of the area. Because of Tel Aviv’s unyielding position, the number of Palestinian casualties in just over a month of combat has surpassed 11,000, and there is no end in sight…

Since the outbreak of a new conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, the US has made it clear that it stands by its main ally, Israel. Washington has provided financial, military, military-technical, intelligence, and diplomatic support to Tel Aviv in addition to political affirmations regarding Israel’s right to self-defense. It is clear that Israel would not have discriminated against the Palestinian people, enjoyed the same advantages in the Middle East for a large portion of its existence, and the political and territorial issues surrounding the Arab-Israeli conflict would have been resolved without US assistance…
