After Israel won the 1967 Six Day War and gained control over all of Jerusalem and the entire west bank of the Jordan river, it set out to distinguish between East Jerusalem - held until then by Jordan - and the rest of the West Bank. East Jerusalem was annexed by Israel and its Palestinian population given residency status, granting them health and social services benefits similar to citizens. The rest of the West Bank, as well as the Gaza Strip, remained in limbo. Israel's desire to separate J...

When Syrian President Bashar al Assad was in real danger of being ousted during civil war over the first half of the last decade, both Iran and then Russia came to his rescue. He certainly owes them - as well as Lebanon’s Iranian-proxy Hezbollah - gratitude for his survival. But international politics is an unsentimental business, and now Russia and Iran are each pursuing its own interests in Syria - leading to tensions between Moscow and Tehran over their own respective agendas in Damascus. Pan...

Reports out of Vienna regarding the indirect talks between Iranian and American negotiators on the terms of mutual return to the 2015 nuclear pact indicate they have already basically agreed to full compliance in a step-by-step approach rather than halfway measures. There are still two issues on which there are gaps between the parties, including the determination and sequencing of which US sanctions will be lifted, as well as the reversal of Iranian uranium enrichment. How close are the sides f...

United States President Joe Biden has made his first major foreign policy decision - and while it is not focused on the Middle East but rather on a region adjacent to it - the regional implications are evident. In ordering all American forces out of Afghanistan by September 11, Biden laid out a rationale based on both ends and means. American attention must turn to China and to a lesser extent Russia; and by virtue of priorities away from secondary spots including the Middle East, diplomacy must...

Immediately after Israel won its 1948 War of Independence, it started worrying about what was immediately called “the second round.” That is, rather than a fight which ends with a knock-out or a tie but a handshake - it goes on and on for countless rounds. Soon enough it turned out that this analogy is too simplistic, because even between the major rounds of 1956, ‘67, ‘73 and ‘82 there were skirmishes, raids and hostilities. The participants obviously changed, but not the concept. Now what is k...
