This […]
In recent months, the Israeli Defense Forces have been much taken by a term that augurs poorly for peaceful accord in the Middle East. “Security zones” are being seized in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria. Land is, for claimed reasons of self-defence, being appropriated with brazen assuredness. It is […]
President Donald Trump is acting faster than other political leaders of his generation. In a dozen weeks, he has already overturned “American imperialism” in favor of his “exceptionalism.” This is still not the end of the problem, but it represents a considerable step forward for both the United States and […]
Turkey today presents itself as a rising regional power, yet its foreign conduct exposes a deeper structural duality—perpetually oscillating between East and West, Islam and secular nationalism, diplomacy and neo-imperial ambition. Despite its NATO membership, Ankara has refused to fully align with Western sanctions on Russia and instead expanded strategic […]
The world is awaiting an initial decision (to come after 28 July 2025), in the case “South Africa v. Israel” (that link to the case is to it at the U.S.-Government-controlled Wikipedia and is therefore slanted favoring Israel against South Africa, but provides at least the facts that Israel’s side acknowledges).

The “deconfliction mechanism” that they’re reportedly discussing would likely be insufficient for resolving their security dilemma and might thus only delay what could be an inevitable clash. Israel and Turkiye held talks in Azerbaijan last week on the creation of a so-called “deconfliction mechanism” for preventing an accidental conflict between […]
It was a massacre. Fifteen emergency workers, butchered in cold blood by personnel from the Israeli Defense Forces in southern Gaza on March 23. It all came to light from a video that the IDF did not intend anyone to see, filmed by Red Crescent paramedic Rifaat Radwan in the […]
Europe seems to be suffering paroxysms of withdrawal, notably when it comes to international conventions. Many states on the continent seem to have decided that international law is a burden onerous and in need of lightening. Poland, Finland and the three Baltic states, for instance, have concluded that using landmines, […]
What Trump is doing to Europe today is not just disrespecting his partner. The Americans have shown where Europe really is located in their coordinate system. Despite this, Ursula von der Leyen continues to get off with half measures and does everything to ensure that cooperation with the Americans continues. […]
