  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “But while Israel has shown willingness, Hamas remains entrenched in its extreme positions, first among them the demand to remove all our forces from the Gaza Strip, end the war, and leave Hamas in power. Israel cannot accept that.” 18 hours ago
  • Bernard Smith
    Bernard Smith “I know my colleagues who were working out of occupied East Jerusalem have now stopped working out of there, and both Arabic and English channels have stopped broadcasting from there. The reason that those of us here in Ramallah and Gaza are still operating is because this is the occupied Palestinian territories. The Cabinet decision applies in Israel and Israel's domestic territory. To close Al Jazeera's operations in this part of the occupied West Bank, a military order from the governor would be required. That hasn't come yet. The network might be looking at some legal appeal, but it's a 45-day closure for now. It could be extended again, but it gives the Israeli authorities the right to seize Al Jazeera's broadcasting equipment and cut the channel from cable and satellite broadcasters. We know that's already happened in the last couple of hours in Israel; any operators that have been broadcasting Al Jazeera English or Arabic now have a sign on their screens saying they're no longer allowed to transmit and receive Al Jazeera.” 18 hours ago
  • Omar Shakir
    Omar Shakir “Their [Al Jazeera] offices have been bombed in Gaza. Their staff have been beaten in the West Bank. They've been killed in the West Bank and Gaza. Rather than trying to silence reporting on its atrocities in Gaza, Israel should stop committing them.” 18 hours ago

“Iran's grandiloquent narratives about 'non-Western' powers and organisations like the SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organisation] in precipitating a shift in the balance of power away from the US belies the fact that the SCO lacks the ability to foster deeper integration between these regional and great powers. There is no Russia-China-Iran axis with formalised commitments akin to an alliance, and the SCO certainly will not provide the institutional structure for such an alliance.”

“This marks the first time Iran becomes a full member of a major regional bloc since its 1979 revolution. Iran is subject to unilateral sanctions. This means that SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organisation] members don't recognise those as international sanctions and that's why they've accepted Iran's request for full membership.”

“Iran's approach towards the SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organisation] is that it looks at it as a concert of non-Western great powers rather than a modern international organisation, and views it in an anti-Western or anti-US setting. This is despite the fact that countries such as Pakistan and India are US's close partners, and even Russia and China have never been willing to openly challenge the US on the global scene. The combination of these two misunderstandings, and also Iran's self-perception as a natural hegemon in West Asia, would make the whole thing appear to the Iranian leaders as Iran joining other anti-Western great powers to form a strong coalition that is going to challenge the US hegemony.”

“The world has entered a new era. Hegemony and unilateralism are failing. The international balance is moving toward multilateralism and redistribution of power to the benefit of independent countries. Unilateral sanctions are not against only one country. As it has become evident in recent years, sanctions have targeted more independent countries, especially members of the organisation [of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO)].”

“We might be looking at the beginning of wider security cooperation over Afghanistan between China, Russia, and the Central Asian states. How this progresses will show if the SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organization] is a real organization capable of deterring the inevitable risks coming from Afghanistan or not.”

“And with the pandemic, there’s no better time to finally set up an SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organisation] free-trade zone and an SCO regional bank. China is in the best position to stimulate the Eurasian economy at a time when this is most needed in SCO member states.”

“The mere fact of the sessions [the summit of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO)] happening will strengthen China’s hand. Beijing is the power which helped give birth to the SCO and its continued existence and growth is a positive reflection in many ways on Beijing. The fact that notwithstanding all these conflicts it continues to meet reflects China’s irresistible attractiveness or at the very least the attractiveness of the organisation that it has fostered and its role on the Eurasian continent. China in some ways does not need to position itself as a deal maker, the mere happening of the event and everyone showing up is a positive sign for Beijing.”
