The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has become the stage for one of the most consequential diplomatic shifts in recent memory. Dozens of countries, including several long‐time Western allies of Israel, have formally recognised the State of Palestine. Coupled with recent United Nations resolutions, this marks […]
It’s difficult to believe that Russia would so brazenly provoke NATO at the risk of ruining talks with the US and consequently escalating tensions, but that’s what some want Trump to think so that he’ll respond to the three such claims this month thus far in precisely that way. Western […]
Donald Trump rejected all claims of the Ukrainian president to sovereignty and independent decision-making. Of course, attempts to press the American were observed on the part of the Europeans.

Banning the AfD, more “statistically conspicuous” deaths of its candidates, and even a repeat of the Romanian scenario can’t be ruled out as the nationalist opposition continues growing in popularity.

The claim that Israel has adhered to the laws of war, however, is extremely controversial. The UN Commission of Inquiry has now […]
