Gaza war

Cairo wants to show Trump it is a player worth consulting when it comes to Mideast geopolitics, but his comment that Jordan and Egypt should take in Palestinians will not be well-received

The real estate mogul and longtime friend of Trump reportedly got tough with Netanyahu to get him to finally sign a ceasefire to end his 15-month-long assault on Gaza

Palestinians rejoiced when the news broke last week that a ceasefire was finally reached, but many didn't get the chance to celebrate with their loved ones who Israel killed before the deal took hold

The Israeli premier's political survival skills are renowned, but this time, he is boxed in tightly by Trump, the far right, and the Haredim. March will be an interesting month.

Palestinians have always clung to their traditions. Music is one of them. Amid the death and destruction, Gaza's displaced find solace in songs of resistance and steadfastness.

For months, Netanyahu has touted that he would not relent until he secures "total victory" over Hamas. But with the group still standing after the truce, it has essentially won.

As Biden and Trump quibble over credit for Gaza ceasefire, it is the latter who will take up the presidential mantle in a few days. Pining over a Nobel Prize, he could push for a more lasting peace.

Biden has been pushing for a deal for more than a year with no success until now. Is Trump the reason?

It didn't have to be this way, but Biden's foreign-policy legacy will be a world that is less rule-bound, less prosperous, and significantly more dangerous
