  • Ali Vaez
    Ali Vaez “At every stop of Mr. Trump's trip, Arab leaders urged him to find a negotiated settlement with Iran. The alternative is terrible for them. Iran with a bomb or Iran bombed both have bad consequences for the region.” 15 hours ago
  • Mina al-Lami
    Mina al-Lami “Jihadist and hard-line Islamists inside and outside of Syria worry that Sharaa [Ahmed al-Sharaa] will sell out foreign fighters and normalize ties with Israel, and even crack down on Islamic projects in Syria. Nevertheless, hardliners are struggling to rally broader support, as the lifting of sanctions is widely seen as a major win for Sharaa, and a clear boost to his image and credibility as a political leader.” 15 hours ago
  • Hossein Derakhshan
    Hossein Derakhshan “Iran needs to understand that this opportunity will not repeat itself and the lifting of primary and secondary sanctions is worth suspending uranium enrichment for 25 years, or even more!” 15 hours ago
  • Nicole Grajewski
    Nicole Grajewski “Russia exploited the fact that Syria remained sanctioned and that the United States and Europe were dragging their feet on sanctions removal. While the decision to lift sanctions is significant, it is not transformative as Syria still needs investment and there are outstanding issues between minorities and the government as well as the status of the Kurds. Iran, however, is pretty much out of the picture for now. They lack the economic capital to help with reconstruction and are viewed [by Syrians] much more negatively than Russia.” 16 hours ago
  • Jon B. Alterman
    Jon B. Alterman “Governments and publics throughout the gulf like Trump a lot. They feel Western liberals want to shame them on their domestic issues, everything from L.G.B.T. rights to abuse of migrant workers. While there certainly are rising liberal voices in the gulf, most people there see Trump as a common-sense, like-minded leader.” 16 hours ago
  • Andrew Leber
    Andrew Leber “The trip was intended to deliver a series of economic, diplomatic and public relations wins for the countries involved. Saudi Arabia got the opportunity to highlight the changing nature of its society and economy, and present itself as a leader in global affairs, both in terms of business opportunities and diplomacy. Mr. Trump got a trip that essentially could not go wrong for him. This was the one place that's guaranteed to give him a very enthusiastic, warm and tightly controlled welcome. If he went anywhere in Latin America, there would be protests. If he went anywhere in Europe, there would be protests. This is a place that's going to speak with him and deal with him on very transactional terms, that's going to put on a big show and where there's not going to be any domestic protests whatsoever.” 16 hours ago
  • Zeina Khodr
    Zeina Khodr “At the opening of the Arab Summit in Baghdad, speaker after speaker has been talking about the desperate conditions under which Palestinians are living. There is a real fear among the Arab leaders that Israel plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza, resettle the Palestinians, and depopulate this whole region. This is why the statements we have been hearing since this morning are rejecting this plan, saying that the Palestinian people should remain on their own land. But it's Israel that's calling the shots, not these Arab leaders. Israel's actions in recent days - by stepping up the military offensive and talking about permanently staying in Gaza - are sending a message that it is not interested in ending the war. Many will say that unless they have the US on board to help end this war, the Arab states have very little leverage on Israel. The normalisation of relations with Israel is not on the table until Israel commits to Palestinian statehood, and the Arab states are using this as some sort of leverage.” 17 hours ago
  • Gideon Levy
    Gideon Levy “The possibility of Iran and the US reaching a nuclear agreement is a very hopeful development. Those who believe only in bombing Iran as the only solution, what can they do? Israel cannot go for an attack over Iran without at least American approval. And if there will be a deal, there will be no approval. And I think many lives will be saved, but Israel can do nothing about it.” 17 hours ago

“South Africa is doing very bad things. Expropriating private property. Using G20 to promote 'solidarity, equality, & sustainability.' In other words: DEI and climate change. My job is to advance America's national interests, not waste taxpayer money or coddle anti-Americanism.”

“The Gaza Strip is not a free land for anyone to grab it. Those days in history are gone. Every piece of land in any country belongs to the people who live in this piece of land. Therefore, you know, we are determined to stay in the Gaza Strip.”

“In the search for solutions on Gaza, we must not make the problem worse. It is vital to stay true to the bedrock of international law. It is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing.”

“Trump's position was not meant as a hostile move. What he's very generously has offered is the ability of the United States to go in and help with debris removal, help with munitions removal, help with reconstruction, the rebuilding homes and businesses and things of this nature so that then people can move back in.”

“The idea of Americans going in on the ground in Gaza is a non starter for every senator. So I would suggest we go back to what we've been trying to do which is destroy Hamas and find a way for the Arab world to take over Gaza and the West Bank, in a fashion that would lead to a Palestinian state that Israel can live with.”

“The military is prepared to look at all options for rebuilding Gaza. We look forward to working with our allies, our counterparts, both diplomatically and militarily, to look at all options.”

“We are well past euphemism about 'pushing the limits,' 'stretching the envelope' and the like. The array of legal constraints Mr. Trump has violated amounts to programmatic sabotage and rampant lawlessness.”

“I hope it stays that way because they [M23] were already moving in the direction of Bukavu with reinforcements and heavy weaponry, which can be seen passing [along] the streets in Goma. If they retreat, that's good news. Otherwise, we'll have a new clash with potentially thousands of additional deaths. The Burundians have sent 2,000 extra troops to Bukavu, and they are very good fighters. I think M23 is currently rethinking their next steps.”

“There's been across-the-board condemnation of [Trump's remarks] in the region. The Jordanian monarch has been very clear, repeatedly saying that Jordan would not allow for [displaced Palestinians to be moved from Gaza to Jordan] and would oppose it on every front. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is here meeting with the Jordanian monarch who is also speaking to other leaders in the region. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have also been very vocal about their opposition [to the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza]. This is something that no Arab leader can be seen to endorse, treating Palestinians as if they have no roots, no connection to the land, no rights to sovereignty and self-determination. It really upends the whole formula for which peace in the region has been sought for so many years. So, there's unnerved leaders in the region trying to figure out how they will act - not just react verbally - to what Trump is trying to do.”

“It would be a moral abomination. International humanitarian law forbids the forced displacement of the population of an occupied territory. When such forced displacement is widespread, it can amount to a war crime or a crime against humanity.”

“Forcing Gazans to leave would be a crime. The scale of such an undertaking, the level of coercion and force required, hence the gravity, make this a straightforward crime against humanity. Even if Mr. Trump's Gaza plan ultimately does not move forward, his attitude toward international law could have serious consequences for U.S. interests around the world. Trump is just casually making major international crimes into policy proposals. He just normalizes violating, or proposing to violate, the absolute bedrock principles of international law.”
