PA Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin tells Al Majalla that Israel is taking advantage of the fact that the world is distracted by the US-Iran war to create irreversible facts on the ground
On 13 September 1993, the Oslo Accords were signed between Palestinian and Israeli leaders under US auspices. Since then, Israel has put facts on the ground that make a Palestinian state impossible.
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.
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.
The standoff in the Hormuz is not simply a question of whether Tehran can survive economic pressure, but whether Washington can sustain the pressure at an acceptable cost.
Many Israelis actually believe that they lost the war, with opposition leader Yair Lapid accusing the Israeli premier of having led the country into "strategic collapse and diplomatic catastrophe"
The Strait of Hormuz is now poised to become the primary arena of confrontation, with Iran relying on speedboat-driven guerrilla warfare to confront the US navy.
