In una sola notte di fine luglio, Israele ha colpito Libano e Iran, eliminando una personalità di spicco del movimento degli Hezbollah e il leader politico di Hamas ed ex-primo ministro palestinese Ismail Haniyeh, in visita a Tehran per la cerimonia di investitura del nuovo presidente iraniano.

During his first three years in office, U.S. President Joe Biden based his Middle East strategy on a single, straightforward project: normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Such a deal, Washington thought, would stabilize the tumultuous region and constrain an increasingly emboldened Iran. The United States would then be free to shift its resources away from the Middle East and toward Asia and Europe.

A year has passed since Mohammed Shia al-Sudani was sworn in as prime minister of Iraq, and began a term focused on bringing stability to the country. This was no mean task: Sudani was leading a fragile coalition government formed after a yearlong deadlock that involved challenges to election results, protests, and violent clashes.

Sarebbe impossibile capire le ragioni e la tempistica dell’attacco di Hamas a Israele senza situarla nel contesto degli sviluppi regionali in corso.
