Saudi Arabia’s desperate situation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last Thursday, France announced that it was sending troops, defense systems, and radar equipment to Saudi Arabia to defend key oil infrastructure. The French decision could mark a significant turning point in the ongoing conflicts involving the U.S., Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. It may also reflect shifting strategies in the long term. The Saudis have been desperately searching for help ever since their simmering conflict with Ansar Allah (commonly referred to as the Houthis) in Yemen flared u
Are the UK sanctions on Israel real progress, or more illusion? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The United Kingdom, joined by Canada and France, announced this week that they are taking action against Israeli settlements in the West Bank. It’s an announcement that is at once groundbreaking and insufficient. Specifically, the UK said it would suspend export licenses for weapons materially supporting Israel’s illegal occupation; ban imports of Israeli settlement goods, and; sanction private companies providing services–including financial services–that enable settlement expansion.

What the latest flare-up between the U.S and Iran means (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The past few days have seen a flare-up of the war of choice that the United States launched against Iran.

Read excerpt
On Tuesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent drew back the curtain on what President Donald Trump called his “Economic D-Day” plan to strangle Iran’s economy instead of using warfare to destroy the state. It’s very easy to dismiss this plan — which has been, hilariously, dubbed “Operation Economic Outcast” — as another Trump public relations ploy, an effort to convince his dwindling MAGA base that the United States is not suffering a humiliating defeat in the Persian Gulf. It certainly is t
The real reason Netanyahu added Mamdani to his ‘enemies list’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two months before Israel’s election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s best hope continues to lie in the fact that, while his presumed coalition is very far from being able to cobble together a majority government, the opposition is not there yet either. He’s playing for a stalemate. In the hope that an opportunity to strengthen his side of the equation will appear, as it has in the past. Netanyahu’s primary campaign appeal is his experience and his image as the strongman who can bring securit
