Gaza bombings rock Palestinian reconciliation The hands that carried out the bombings in Gaza might be Palestinian and even Fatah or Hamas hands, but those who issued the orders could not have been Palestinian decision-makers.

The endgame of the US 'Islamic State' strategy Conspiracy theories aside, the eventual outcome is a sectarian Sunni military & political wedge driven into the Iraqi geographical connection of the Iran-Syria alliance. The IS was conceived & delivered in an American womb. The US-drafted & enforced current constitution produced the sectarian govt that is still trying to rule in Iraq. Sectarian cleansing & exclusion of Sunnis could not but inevitably create its antithesis

Donors will fail Gaza again The donors who attend the upcoming Cairo conference will probably make the same pledges they made at the two previous conferences and then once again fail to fulfil them.

Palestinian reconciliation at crossroads Abbas has, indeed, prioritised "peace with Israel." He has devised plans for resuming negotiations, and is still banking on American support for such talks. This is the only explanation for the current anti-Hamas media campaign.

Iraqi hydrocarbon prize of U.S. invasion in danger The unfolding collapse of the U.S. proxy government in Baghdad has cut short a process of legalizing the de-nationalization of the hydrocarbon industry in Iraq, which became within reach with the latest electoral victory of the Iraqi prime minister since 2006, Noori al-Maliki.

Pope's unbalanced neutrality in Holy Land By laying a wreath of white and yellow flowers, the colours of the Vatican, on the Herzl's grave, the pope broke another historic precedent. It was an unbalanced act, 110 years after Pope Pius X met Herzl and rejected the idea of a Jewish state.

Assad Is There to Stay The war on Syria has taken a U-turn during the past year. Assad now firmly holds the military initiative. The long awaited foreign military intervention could not take off; it was prevented by the emerging multi-polar world order. Syrian and non-Syrian insurgents are now on the run. Assad stands there to stay.
