هناك إشارات واضحة على أن إيران ستكون واحدة من شواغل السياسة الخارجية لترمب، منها اختياره لكثير من الصقور المعادين لطهران لشغل مناصب رئيسة، لكن لا يزال ترمب حذرا بشأن الانجرار إلى صراع آخر في المنطقة اقرأ مقال لينا الخطيب في #المجلة majalla.com/node/323077 @LinaKhatibUK

"While Israel has demonstrated an ability to disrupt and complicate Hezbollah's weapons supply, the group's extensive connections and highly adaptable logistics create a resilience that air strikes alone cannot dismantle", I argue in my latest. en.majalla.com/node/323018/op…

Food for thought by the always brilliant @renadmansour

“Israel’s actions over the past year suggest that the country has strategically underestimated the extent to which a military solution, even one not constrained by international law, can bring about societal change in other countries.” foreignaffairs.com/israel/axis-re…



Miss that warm fuzzy feeling of the world being in safe hands? Go see @DrStrangeloveHQ @Aiannucci’s stage interpretation is just as applicable today as the original film was 6 decades ago (much “pretaliation” going on in the Middle East these days). Highly recommended!

I tell @nytimes Trump’s victory gives Israel space to increase the intensity of its military campaign in Lebanon and against Hamas. Israel will try to increase the pressure as much as it can. Katz would likely double down on the West Bank strategy. nytimes.com/live/2024/11/0…


Trump 2.0 = ME Regional Shifts: Trump 2.0 = The deadline for Netanyahu to wrap up Israel’s military campaigns is the end of the calendar year Trump 2.0 = Elon Musk in Saudi Arabia last week was the right shot Trump 2.0 = Return to maximum pressure on Iran but a higher maximum


Some were expecting the breaking news to be Iran firing at Israel in a desperate attempt to protect Iran’s reputation but instead it’s Netanyahu firing Gallant in a desperate attempt to protect Netanyahu’s reputation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, the prime minister's office says. cnn.com/2024/11/05/mid…



As the US votes, here are the big ME geopolitical issues that will occupy the next administration: • Shift in regional balance of power with Iran’s role weakening • Iran-Russia relations more complicated • Gulf Arab states balancing US-Asia-Russia relations • Israel-Palestine


Can’t think of a better person to deliver the inaugural Ian Black memorial lecture at the @LSEnews than the amazing @MuirJim Thank you to Ian Black’s family and @LSEMiddleEast for this wonderful initiative.

The inaugural Ian Black memorial lecture will take place on Monday 4 November @LSEnews This lecture series will celebrate the life, ethos and rigour of Dr Ian Black, veteran Middle East journalist and academic. lse.ac.uk/middle-east-ce…



Iran’s talk of a more severe attack on Israel + the Iraqi PMF chair Fayyad going to Tehran + speculation that some PMF militias will action Iran’s retaliation = Iran wanting to show that its self-claimed “axis of resistance” is alive at a time of high pressure on Iran & proxies.

A depopulated buffer zone in southern #Lebanon? Some conditions for one appear in place, according to an @AP analysis of satellite imagery & data collected by mapping experts showing the Israeli military’s breadth of destruction W/@FrankelJulia @bmroue apnews.com/article/478f69…


Re ceasefire in Lebanon: Netanyahu won’t give Biden a departing gift nor give Harris an election boost, and Hezbollah and Iran won’t accept a one-sided ceasefire agreement that effectively means them accepting defeat. No traction till the new US administration. Deep breaths.


It’s been one month since I posted the fundraising call below and Lebanon’s first responders are in an even more urgent need for ambulances and equipment so please consider donating to support this worthy civil rescue work 👇

🚨Those looking to donate to help civilians in Lebanon, please consider donating to the first responders who are doing incredible work under horrific conditions: fundahope.com/en/campaigns/e…



The latest in a catastrophic domino effect. UNIFIL’s mandate is too vague to allow it to play much more than a symbolic role. It’s now caught in the crossfire, sometimes hit by Israeli fire & sometimes by Hezbollah’s. It’s a victim of lack of implementation of UNSCRs 1559 & 1701.

Appalled about reports of strikes against @UNIFIL in Lebanon in which eight Austrian peacekeepers were injured. Strikes against peacekeepers must stop now. We continue to call on Hizballah and parties to ensure the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel.



Please consider donating to the ⁦@seenary0⁩ Emergency Campaign for Lebanon. I’m proud to be a trustee for this wonderful, unique charity. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will match the funds raised 2:1 up to €100,000. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/seenaryo-leb…
