Israel

A nation with religious foundations is fighting to save secular democratic norms. Its polarised politics are now deterring people from military service. Al Majalla explains.

Tensions between Palestinians employed in Israel and the Hamas authorities of the Gaza Strip are rising due to widespread anger at changes to work permits.

A trove of exclusive top-level documents obtained by Al Majalla reveals how US policy priorities for Syria shifted from normalisation with Israel to severing its ties to Iran between 2000-2011

The Oslo Accords cemented the fragmentation of the Palestinian national discourse and weakened its political entities. Al Majalla explains how the pact gave Israel a clear advantage.

Seeking US protection against Iranian aggression is key for Riyadh. Biden has a good bit of wiggle room, given that Republicans are willing to work with him. But is this enough? Al Majalla explains.

Saudi Arabia has a strong hand in discussions. Israel is well aware that many countries are eager to be involved in the economic and social transformations underway in Saudi Arabia.

What once looked like a landmark opportunity, has now fizzled out. But there is a way toward a homeland Palestinians deserve via better leaders. Al Majalla explains.

Heartened by unprecedented internal strife in Israel, Hezbollah has ramped up its provocations against Israel. It has faced little repercussions, which has emboldened it even more.
