Opinion: Iran’s ceasefire proposal said one thing in Farsi and another in English, building in the perfect ambiguity for later: when it falls apart, each side can point to its own version and deny blame

Opinion: From halted defense ties to surging antisemitism, Europe is no longer a reliable partner; Israel should pivot toward Asia, Africa and new alliances instead of seeking approval from increasingly critical European governments

Opinion: Trump’s ceasefire announcement on Lebanon underscored that Netanyahu now leads only a diminished Israeli autonomy, while authority over foreign and security policy has effectively shifted to White House

Analysis: fragile ceasefire may not bring peace, but it could lower risk, unlock aid and investment, and give Lebanon a chance to shift from survival to recovery, while Israel stands to gain from reduced economic strain along its northern border
