That would be a nightmare scenario from the perspective of Israeli interests. A report circulated last week alleging that Trump cut off all direct contact with Bibi after feeling manipulated by him. For as sensational as it sounds, the larger context suggests that it might be true. For starters, there was bad […]
Killing civilians wholesale, starving them to convince those unaffected to change course, and shepherding whole populations like livestock into conditions of further misery would all qualify as heinous crimes in international law. When it comes to Israel’s war in Gaza, this approach is seen as necessary politics, unalloyed by the […]
The Gaza Strip has long been a focal point of conflict, suffering, and geopolitical tension. Periodic outbreaks of violence, including massacres and mass casualties have drawn global attention, yet often the international community’s response appears weak or delayed. This perceived silence raises critical questions: Why does the international community seem […]
Part I The energy transition and the development of new energy technologies are fundamentally reshaping the energy mix. Increased production of green hydrogen, decarbonization of the transport sector and power supply for electric vehicle batteries and hydrogen fuel cells will require clean energy sources.

However, on the same day, real estate developer Donald Trump denounced a lie, and six months later, […]
The general public is completely unaware of the real stakes in the negotiations between Washington and Tehran. This article presents a situation in which lies have been piling up over three decades, making any progress particularly difficult. Contrary to popular belief, the nuclear issue in Iran is not whether Tehran […]
The murder and starvation of populations in real time, subject to rolling coverage and commentary, is not usually the done thing.
