Crunch time: this UN General Assembly will be a big one for Palestine

Will recognition from France, the UK, Canada and Australia matter? Or will Israel simply go on defying the vast majority of UN member states? September will tell us.

Israel and Türkiye must clarify their red lines on Syria

Discussions aimed at reaching a mutual understanding are vital to preventing miscalculation from either side

The culmination of policy: Israel’s use of starvation in Gaza

What began 18 years ago is coming to a head today: the intentional, purposeful denial of food as a biological weapon that kills a population slowly, after first breaking its will

Tom Fletcher: the senior UN man calling out Israeli 'cynicism'

A former British diplomat now advising the UN Security Council has accused Israel of "making starvation a bargaining chip". Surprise, surprise, this did not go down well in Tel Aviv. Who is he?

Will Gaza’s suffering lead to a State of Palestine at last?

An international conference in New York this week generated momentum towards diplomatic recognition, but what precisely would be recognised? The West Bank is splintered and Gaza is under rubble.

A starved Gaza is not collateral damage. It is a Netanyahu policy

Israel's war aims go beyond the defeat of Hamas to the collective punishment of two million Palestinians. It is losing friends fast, while Gazans lose far more than that.

Suweida violence: a good day for Israel, a bad day for Syria

Countering the Israeli quest for regional domination

As Israel seeks to reshape the Middle East—militarily, politically, and economically—the Arab world must put forward an alternative vision anchored in the principles of the UN Charter

Those who see plans for a ‘Greater Israel’ are not the first to do so

For more than a century, Jews have been accused of plotting dominion over the Middle East. Recent Israeli military success has simply restored and restoked an age-old canard.
