Discussing the reconstruction of Gaza without its inhabitants, the Mar-a-Lago resort could serve as an alternative for Gaza’s residents. Since the goal is to turn Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East," it would only make sense to house them in another resort so they can later adapt to life in this Riviera and become fit to live in it. Former US President Donald Trump has said that Palestinians would live safely somewhere else.

The political storm around Donald Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery should be understood in the context of the crude political spite we see during presidential election season. Democrats, along with liberal media outlets, have been up in arms over a photo op that Trump took alongside his supporters facing the graves of soldiers who fell during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, in which he is seen smiling and giving a thumbs-up.

Debates are perilous for incumbent presidents, and for obvious reasons — they have everything to lose and little to gain. Richard Nixon, overshadowed by John Kennedy in the first televised presidential debate in 1960, declined to debate George McGovern as an incumbent in 1972. Gerald Ford’s foreign policy gaffe in a 1976 debate contributed to Jimmy Carter’s victory in that year’s election. Ronald Reagan subsequently upstaged Carter in a 1980 debate, fueling his electoral landslide.

Earlier this month, some of Iraq’s most hardline MPs demanded an urgent parliamentary session to vote for the expulsion of American and other foreign forces from the country. Even though the MPs failed to achieve a quorum, there could well be a next time. And they might even succeed the next time, just as they did in 2020, in securing a majority vote for a non-binding “parliamentary decision” to evict these forces.

A few days ago, Riad Al-Turk (Syrian) and Karim Mroueh (Lebanese) passed away. The two men, who died a few days apart, were born in the same year, 1930. They were communists for decades and then became leading communist figures, before they walked back, each in his own way, from their commitment to communism. The years that the two towering late figures lived through, nearly a century, were brimming with major developments.

This was before the outbreak of the “Arab Spring.” The meeting was neither official nor public. A number of politicians decided to reflect on the situation in the region. The discussion reviewed the conditions in the Middle East in light of the US army’s uprooting of Saddam Hussein’s regime. Then the participants turned to the international climate sparked by the Al-Qaeda attacks on September 11, 2001. One of the attendees spoke briefly about Yemen.

Iran considers American military presence in neighbouring Iraq a strategic threat to its own national security, and it wants it eliminated at this opportune time. This will give Tehran free reign in the Levant, weaken US support to the Gulf countries and restructure the region’s security architecture on its terms.

No one following developments in Syria disagrees that the situation has deteriorated to an unprecedented degree. Most observers believe the decline is accelerating, further exacerbating the situation in Syria, thereby prolonging the conflict, deepening the obstacles to resolving it, and raising the material and human costs, not only for Syria and Syrians but also for the region and beyond, as demonstrated over the course of the conflict in and over Syria.
