As the Democratic Party continues to shift left on issues related to Israel and Palestine, will Joe Biden resist?
King Abdullah II has warned the United States that he fears that annexation could cause significant conflict within Jordan, as well as between Jordan and Israel.
Israel appears to be moving full steam ahead on its plans to annex large portions of the West Bank seemingly without much consideration of the consequences.
A recent peace proposal from the Palestinian prime minister raises questions about just who represents Palestinians and what they actually will accept.
Jordan’s reaction to Israel’s looming annexation of parts of the West Bank might redefine the kingdom’s relations with both Israel and the United States.
A common thread in Trump’s foreign policy is that the stated objectives are not real objectives.
Criticism of Donald Trump’s foreign policy often ignores the illiberal and undemocratic underbelly of Pax Americana.

Speaking in a web broadcast organized by the so-called Democratic Majority for Israel, Blinken stated bluntly that Biden “would not tie military assistance to Israel to any political decisions it makes, full stop.”
Back in 1977, the Likud Party’s platform called for “only Israeli sovereignty” over the land between Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea.

A UN aid and relief agency is ready to offer its support, all it needs is the funding to administer it.
All historians begin somewhere. Their choice of starting date reveals what they take as significant in explaining how we got to be where we are.
COVID-19 has impacted countries in the region in different ways but their paths forward will be equally challenging.
Gantz supports unilateral annexation, and he does not stop at the so-called “major settlement blocs.”
Under international law, a foreign military occupying another territory is responsible for meeting the population’s humanitarian needs.
Gantz didn’t have the extra motivation to carry on the fight that Netanyahu does of using the prime minister’s position to avoid a criminal trial and, very likely, a prison sentence.
