Policy Analysis

در حالی ‌که اسرائیل در جبهه جنوب درگیر است، حملات اخیر و استقرار شبه‌نظامیان تحت حمایت ایران و نیروهای سوری در بلندی‌های جولان اسباب دردسر و نگرانی است.

حمله حماس از لحاظ گستره، شرارت، و تاثیرگذاری ملی آن، شوک بسیار بزرگ‌تری برای ملت اسرائیل است، و پاسخ اسرائیل هم باید از این منظر دیده شود.

By supporting Hamas’s operation, the Islamic Republic managed to subvert a broad emerging Arab-Israel partnership—but Israeli success in destroying the group’s military capabilities could turn the tables.

دست کم چهل‌وچهار کشور حماس را محکوم کرده‌اند و تاکتیک‌های آن را تروریستی دانسته‌اند، اما بازیگران منطقه‌ای مثل قطر، عربستان سعودی، کویت، سوریه، و عراق مسئولیت را متوجه اسرائیل می‌دانند.

A former Treasury Department official testifies on how this longstanding policy imperative should be approached at a time when terrorist groups like Hamas are bringing the Middle East to the brink of regional war.

آمریکا باید بر خطراتی که گسترش جنگ دربر دارد تأکید کند و تهران را به مهار نیروهای نیابتی و شرکایش ترغیب کند.

Palestinian residents of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with Arab Israelis, have not yet taken up Hamas’s call to join the fight, but amid increasing tensions, all sides must work diligently to preserve the fragile calm.

The group’s own documentation of atrocities belies its claims that it did not target civilians.

An in-depth look at Hamas's numerous means of financing terrorist operations like the October 7 assault on Israel, including recommendations for shutting off this flow of illicit funding.

The conflict will make it more difficult for Washington and Israel to preserve—let alone expand—the diplomatic progress they have made with North African governments in recent years, particularly as public opposition intensifies.

Cairo has understandable concerns about unsustainable refugee flows, Sinai terrorist threats, and longer-term Palestinian political aspirations, all of which need to be taken into account when pushing for humanitarian corridors into Gaza.

An Iran-aligned group that presaged two previous drone attacks on Gulf cities has issued a new threat against U.S. targets in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

Syrians' responses to Hamas’ attack—and subsequent Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip—have been varied, splitting along regional, political, and ideological lines.

Despite well-meaning concerns about civilian casualties, pushing Israel to pursue a premature and false “calm” is more likely to widen the conflict in the long term.

The war triggered by the shocking Hamas assault will be the first zero-sum conflict in the Arab-Israeli arena since 1948, and U.S. policymakers should prepare accordingly.

The Russian leader and Hamas share the goal of undermining liberal democracies, as correctly pointed out by President Biden.

Iranian proxies are deliberately escalating against American forces in the region as a warning against continued support for Israel’s war, but Hezbollah attacks would take the crisis to a different level.

The Telegram brand that emerged in October 2023 is not a group per se, but rather a generic name used to denote unity among Iran-backed armed groups and deemphasize their individual identities during attacks spurred by the Gaza war.

Although the immediate goal is to destroy Hamas’s terrorist regime in Gaza, there is no viable alternative to a political solution in the longer term.

Policymakers need to stay focused on halting the regime’s fissile material buildup while undertaking a broader, longer-term effort to shape its assessment of the risks, costs, and utility of nuclear weapons.
