Seemingly out of the blue, Syrian rebels made a swift comeback campaign against the Assad regime in the last week of November. After years as a “frozen conflict,” in a few short weeks more has changed on the ground in a matter of days than at any point in the Syrian civil war, which began in 2011.

When Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to restore diplomatic relations in March 2023, the rapprochement seemed fragile.

The Biden administration says it supports “limited” Israeli military operations in Lebanon. But for Lebanese who are desperately fleeing Israeli attacks, watching their country be destroyed, or hearing the thump of airstrikes and whirring of drones overhead—well, Israel’s war doesn’t feel particularly limited. And there’s little reason to believe it will remain limited, as Israel presses its ground offensive in southern Lebanon and both U.S. and Israeli aims become more expansive.

The United States has already embarked, alongside Israel, on a new cycle of regional Middle East wars that is sure to end as a generational catastrophe—in human and societal destruction for Palestinians and Lebanese, and in strategic disaster for everyone involved.

More than two decades after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and three years after the United States formally ended its combat mission there, the American military has still not left. The 2,500 U.S. troops in Iraq are a small fraction of the 160,000 stationed there at the height of the American occupation, but even now, Washington operates with minimal coordination with Iraqi authorities.

La vida normal en Ramala —ciudad de Cisjordania a la que se le conoce por su población joven y su vida nocturna animada— está paralizada desde hace un mes. Desde los atentados mortíferos de Hamás del 7 de octubre, las fuerzas israelíes han lanzado numerosas redadas en Cisjordania y han detenido a personas con distintos tipos de perfiles: estudiantes, activistas, periodistas, incluso personas que publican en internet su apoyo a Gaza.

Al llarg de l’últim mes la vida normal a Ramal·lah, una ciutat de Cisjordània coneguda habitualment per la seva població jove i la seva animada vida nocturna, s’ha aturat. Des dels mortífers atacs de Hamàs del 7 d’octubre, les forces israelianes han fet nombroses incursions a Cisjordània i han detingut gent de tots els àmbits: estudiants, activistes, periodistes i fins i tot persones que publiquen missatges de suport a Gaza per internet.
