Palestine

The Palestinian health care system has been held back by military occupation and is unprepared for the coronavirus onslaught. Israel must act swiftly.

The first coronavirus cases in the Gaza Strip portend a calamity.

In the fight against the pandemic, some familiar tactics are deployed.

If he leads the next government, the prime minister is likely to annex much of the West Bank and deepen attacks on judicial independence.

Israel has long resisted the South Africa analogy, but the U.S. government’s support for annexation is making it a reality.

Trump’s peace plan killed any hope of a negotiated settlement. Rather than empty rhetoric, Palestinian leaders owe their people a new approach—even if it means disbanding the PA.

The White House blocks a U.N. resolution and threatens to withhold aid to the Palestinians.

The White House likes to pretend it’s breaking with tradition. In fact, it’s recycling old maps and ideas. 

Eager to curry favor and win a new trade deal, the British leader seems ready to follow the United States’ lead on the Israelis and Palestinians.

Here’s why Trump’s latest gambit probably won’t settle the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

A U.S. peace plan seems designed mainly to get Bibi reelected. The Palestinians aren’t even invited.

The Trump administration’s disdain for international consensus on the West Bank will encourage previously cautious governments to support BDS and Palestinian statehood.

The United Nations has long disputed that Washington has a right to block people from the New York headquarters—going back to Yasser Arafat in 1988.

Netanyahu’s election promise won’t just hurt Israel, it will create chaos for its eastern neighbor and a diplomatic backlash too.

Kushner’s plan aims to divide Palestinians from their leaders but fails to recognize that the people already resent their corrupt leadership—while failing to place any similar pressure on an Israeli prime minister under indictment.

Israel needs the Palestinian Authority’s security cooperation to avoid another intifada—and without security ties to Israel and the funding that comes with it, the PA could cease to exist.

The White House’s fantasy proposal is bound to fail.

European leaders should not lend support to a Trump administration plan that dangles economic carrots to Palestinians while entrenching the Israeli occupation.
