James M Dorsey Israel’s latest Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange proposal puts the ball in Hamas’ court. The proposal, drafted in recent days by Israeli negotiators and Egyptian interlocutors, goes some way to address Hamas’ long-standing demands. The proposal makes concessions Israel has rejected in the past but raises as many questions as it opens doors to possible breakthroughs in the long-stalled negotiations mediated by Qatar and Egypt. In response, Hamas said […]

The Giving Movement, a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based clothing company known for its eco-friendly practices, has emerged as a significant contributor to humanitarian efforts in Gaza.

These funds are earmarked for immediate relief efforts in Gaza. Dubai Cares, working alongside […]

James M Dorsey An Israeli ground offensive in the southern Gazan enclave of Rafah is a question of when, not if. Not because Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is oblivious to US and international pressure but because it could prove to be make or break for Israel’s embattled leader. Netanyahu has promised “total victory” in the Gaza war and to “finish the job” in Rafah. The stakes for  Netanyahu could […]

By K Raveendran A sudden spike in the oil price in the wake of Israel’s retaliatory missile attack on Iran seemed to have upset the calculations of a relative stability in the crude oil market, but the unexpected development, both in terms of the retaliation and its market impact, appears to have been contained without […]

James M Dorsey Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is tying himself up in knots as he grudgingly, and only to a limited degree, bows to US President Joe Biden’s demands. In doing so, Netanyahu is puncturing Swiss-cheese size holes into Israel’s Gaza narrative, making it easier for Mr. Biden to take him publicly to task. Biden has demanded that Israel allow the unfettered flow of desperately needed humanitarian […]

James M Dorsey The Greater Middle East is a ticking time bomb. Generations in war-wracked Palestine, Syria, and Yemen have little, if anything, to look forward to. Moreover, discontent is mounting and could explode anytime in countries like Jordan, Egypt, and Iran. Palestine is a pressure cooker. Gazan youth has known little else than two decades of wars and siege. Beyond the trauma of the latest six-month-old war, Gaza’s next […]

Oil prices experienced a significant decline on Monday, dropping by more than 1% as tensions in the Middle East showed signs of abating. This welcome development comes after a period of heightened instability in the region, which had previously driven oil prices upwards. The primary catalyst for the price drop appears to be Israel’s recent withdrawal of troops from southern Gaza. This move, coupled with their commitment […]

James M Dorsey Muhammad Manassara walked in late February into a gas station near the West Bank settlement of Eli. Armed with an automatic weapon, Manassara killed two people before he was shot dead by the owner of a restaurant at the station, the site of the killing last summer of four Israelis.

James M Dorsey Israel’s refusal to lift restrictions on the unfettered entry into Gaza of food, medical supplies, and other desperately needed humanitarian goods, has less to do with a stand-alone starvation policy and more with who controls distribution in the Strip. Both Israel and Hamas see control of aid distribution as a building block of who comes out on top once the guns fall silent. The […]

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has voiced strong support for a United Nations Security Council resolution urging an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip during the upcoming holy month of Ramadan.

This is the first time the UN Security Council has explicitly called for a ceasefire coinciding with Ramadan, a period […]

James M Dorsey Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s walls are caving in. His multiple battles fall into two categories: keeping his increasingly fragile government in place and fighting a war he has already lost in the court of public opinion and possibly on the ground in Gaza if measured by the prime minister’s war goals. On Monday, Israel suffered its most significant international setback since 2016 with […]

Egypt expressed cautious support for a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, despite reservations about its limited timeframe.

While welcoming any move towards de-escalation, Egyptian officials privately acknowledged concerns about the resolution’s effectiveness. The one-month ceasefire […]

James M Dorsey A just-published Palestinian public opinion survey offers pointers for what a successful transition from the devastating Gaza war to a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will have to entail. The survey’s pointers take on added significance as the United States, Europe and Arab states seek to turn the fallout of Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel and the carnage caused by Israel’s assault on the Strip […]

James M Dorsey This year’s US presidential elections are not the only potential hurdle confronting President Joe Biden’s multi-pronged vision for a Middle East peace once the Gaza war ends. So is Israeli intransigence, the prospect of a long-term insurgency in post-war Gaza, and increasing Saudi Chinese technological cooperation. The Biden administration is pushing for a multi-pronged comprehensive Middle East deal that would not only end the […]
