The Islamic State continues to thrive and establish itself as a power base in the Middle East. Though it must be pointed out that its strength today is only the result of the West’s habit of playing around with jihadist groups who later turn on their masters. Is this intentional chaos or policy recklessness? CrossTalking […]

Presenter: Folly Bah Thibault Guests: Muhamed Sabry – a photojournalist and Egyptian activist living in Sinai Omar Ashour – senior lecturer on Middle East politics at the University of Exeter, and a security specialist Aymenn Al-Tamimi – fellow at the Middle […]
It has been occupied and fought over, fuelled accusations of lawlessness and neglect, and seen promises made and broken to its people. But ongoing concerns about security in Egypt’s troubled Sinai Peninsula have been answered with successive military responses. And the threat now posed by an armed group linked to the Islamic State of Iraq […]
Is the Yemen crisis increasingly sectarian? The MEE team considers this question – and what consequences this could have for the country and the region. Short version: Full version:
Imaginez qu’un candidat à la présidentielle américaine lance un appel à ses partisans un jour d’élection en faisant la déclaration suivante : « L’administration républicaine est en danger. Les électeurs noirs se rendent en masse aux bureaux de vote. Les ONGs libérales les amènent en autobus ». Même dans un pays où Chris Matthews est […]

Baroud believes that Palestinians, like any […]
Le chroniqueur et spécialiste du Moyen-Orient Ramzy Baroud a expliqué dans une interview à RT que les raids aériens contre les positions des Houthis au Yémen ne servent qu’à attiser le conflit.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has welcomed the ‘State of Palestine’ as its 123rd member, a move that can pave the way for Palestinians to prosecute Israel for its war crimes. In this edition of the Debate, Press TV’s guests Ramzy Baroud, editor of the Palestine Chronicle from London, and Richard Hellman, president of the Middle East Research Center from Washington […]
It is not difficult to speak of the Palestinians’ need to surmount ideological, factional and political divides. But the challenge is not as easy as a mere collective nod of agreement that division is indeed at the heart of the Palestinian crisis. Real, urgent action is needed. Firstly, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) of Mahmoud […]
For a long time, the US seemed invulnerable to what even Yemen analysts admit is an intricate subject to understand, let alone attempt to explain in a straightforward manner. The US drones buzzed overhead independent from all of this. They “took out” whomever they suspected was an al-Qaeda affiliate. President Barack Obama was even revealed to have […]
After Benjamin Netanyahu’s decisive victory in the recent Israeli elections, what’s next for Palestinians? Join our three speakers as they delve into whether or not the Joint List will have any impact in the Knesset, the Palestinian Authority’s stance from Netanyahu’s re-election, and if Palestinians will be to unite under one banner.

Info-Palestine.eu : Le score réalisé lors des dernières élections israéliennes par la Liste Commune – fédérant plusieurs organisations politiques représentant les arabes israéliens (ou Palestiniens de 1948) – place cette liste en 3e position à La Knesset, avec 14 sièges. Peut-on considérer ce score électoral comme un évènement majeur, spécialement dans un contexte de renforcement des […]
1. Abbas, Oslo must go First, the most difficult obstacle to overcome is the stronghold of Mahmoud Abbas and his corrupt circle on Palestine’s political discourse at home. This is not an outcome of Abbas’s particular savvy or the genius of his class. The post-Oslo circle only exists to maintain the status quo: US interests […]

For Netanyahu’s main challenger, Isaac Herzog, Palestinians hardly existed. The occupation was a non-issue for him and for most Israeli political rivals for that matter. His foreign policy programme was either identical to Netanyahu’s or was largely based on deferring foreign policy issues to a later date. The soft-speaking Herzog had no qualms about keeping […]
Nedavna egzekucija troje američkih muslimana na Univerzitetu u Sjevernoj Karolini nije bilo obično ubistvo, niti je ubica obični prestupnik. Sama ubistva, njihov kontekst, te reakcije medija i zvaničnika na ovaj strašni događaj su svjedočanstvo ogromnog zla koje se izrodilo otkada su Sjedinjene Države otpočele svoj beskonačni „Rat protiv terora“ protiv nekad određenog, a nekad neodređenog […]

But also the unrelenting beauty and courage of a generation that seems determined to withstand the seemingly insurmountable hardships,” commented Ramzy Baroud, Palestinian author and journalist. “The fact that life never stood still for the nine year old girl, that she is back at school, although the […]
Toutes les fois qu’un nouveau poème de Mahmoud Darwish était publié par le journal Al Quds, je me précipitais au kiosque à journaux d’Abu Aymen sur la place principale de camp de réfugiés. C’était un endroit bondé et poussiéreux où les taxis délabrés attendaient des passagers, entourés de vendeurs de poissons et de légumes. La […]
One message I received today with the subject line: ‘your geography teacher’, was particularity heartening. The sender is a geography professor in an American university. He simply wrote to thank me for the article: ‘The Secret History of My Geography Teacher, also Cofounder of Hamas’. But what I liked most about the email is that […]
Not only is IS to a degree an alien movement in the larger body politic of the Middle East, it also seems to be a partly western phenomenon, a hideous offspring resulting from western neocolonial adventures in the region, coupled with alienation and demonisation of Muslim communities in western societies. By “western phenomenon”, I refrain […]
When I was younger, and Said was still alive, I always wondered what his impressions of certain events were. His non-conformist political style — let alone his literary genius — did more than convey information and offer sound analyses. It also offered guidance and moral direction. After he promised me an interview, he wrote a […]
