Maher Abu Tair
The entire region has been worn down by every detail of this scene. There are no concluded negotiations, no convincing political settlement, and no war with a defined end. The daily cost of attrition may equal a devastating military war.
The information flowing out of occupied Palestine is harmful to both mind and heart. What is happening in Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, or the West Bank points to dark days ahead for the Palestinians, in every sense of the word.

The criminal attack that took place in Karak can be interpreted from several angles. In principle, however, there is no disagreement over condemning the attack and considering it a treacherous stab in Jordan’s back before it was directed at any particular segment of its population.

The war we are witnessing between Iran, the United States and Israel will have extremely serious consequences, extending beyond a return to warfare in its military sense. There is ample evidence of the cost this war is imposing on people around the world.
