The long-awaited ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has finally come and currently hostages are being exchanged, but the hard work has only just begun. The whole world […]
The new president of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, the former commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces and a maronite christian, has declared after taking the seat that he would disarm Hezbollah. This, by all means, seems unlikely for the moment or the near future since the position he holds is one regarded as mere ceremonial, reserved […]
After more than 13 years, the Al Assad regime has finally fallen. The reasons are multiple, but the key is that two major situations have rendered his support to fail – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Hamas-Israel war.

In all honesty, there are high chances that this war will go beyond that timestamp and that it will continue for some time. Hezbollah has managed to interdict life-as-usual in […]
As the buildup of military forces continues in northern Israel, fears of a vertical escalation are even more present.
