Il se passe quelque chose dans le royaume du Liban. Le gouvernement Salam communique peu, et certains diront plutôt mal, mais son premier bilan, trois mois après sa formation, est loin d’être négligeable. Il paraît même « exceptionnel » si on le compare à celui de ses prédécesseurs au cours de ces deux dernières décennies.

Cosa vuole Israele in Siria? Allo stato attuale, potrebbe scegliere tra due strade. La prima consiste nel negoziare un accordo di pace con il nuovo regime, che ha aperto la porta a questa possibilità.
Who will stop Israel in Syria?

1 week ago | today.lorientlejour.com | Anthony Samrani

What does Israel want in Syria? At this point, two reasons seem to be possible. The first is to negotiate a peace agreement with the new regime, which has opened the door to that possibility. The second is to take part, in the name of a so-called “alliance of minorities,” in the fragmentation of its neighbor with the aim of rendering Syria harmless and turning the region into a patchwork of ethnic and sectarian microstates, among which Israel would be by far the most powerful.

Khamenei's ultimate choice

1 month ago | today.lorientlejour.com | Anthony Samrani

There are only three who can decide whether the "new Middle East" will finally emerge through a new escalation plunging it into the unknown or through the famous "package deal" that has been touted for years. The Russians, the Chinese, the Europeans and the Gulf's petromonarchies will certainly try to weigh in on the debate. Ultimately, it will be decided between Donald Trump, Ali Khamenei and Benjamin Netanyahu. Let's start with the third.
L’ultime choix de Khamenei

Israel’s history is that of a state founded after centuries of oppression, decades of struggles and conquests and the worst atrocity of the 20th century.
