"When it comes to picking people to make policy and hold power, where is your red line?"
Read John Ramming Chappel's review of "Crossing the Red Line: Biden, His Advisors, and Israel's War in Gaza" by @AkbarSAhmed.

The Houthi (Ansar Allah) offensive along Yemen's western coast marks a major failure for the Internationally Recognized Government. Yet for civilians fleeing the area, the details are less important than what followed, says @AhmadAlgohbary.

Read my latest for @DAWNmenaorg about the few Lebanese-Christian villages still standing along the Israeli border:
"For now, most of these Christian villages remain standing. But as Israel's occupation leaves them increasingly cut off from the rest of Lebanon ... they risk becoming unviable as Lebanese communities," @finlookedintoit writes in @DAWN_Journal.

The Jordanian state faces worsening political dissent due to its relationship with the United States. That dynamic reached new levels with its arrest of Jordanian American journalist Ali Younes of @DropSiteNews, argues Ahmad Hamaideh.

Yemen's Taiz is witnessing major fighting between the Houthis (Ansar Allah) and Internationally Recognized Government forces. After widespread displacement along the coast, civilians here fear they could be next, writes @AhmadAlgohbary.

John Ramming Chappell writes that @AkbarSAhmed's "Crossing the Red Line" is a first-of-its-kind account of how Biden's inner circle enabled Israel's genocide in Gaza, reviewing the performance of those officials now angling to return to power.

Jordan's arrest of Jordanian American journalist Ali Younes of @DropSiteNews highlights Amman's fear of dissent at home and abroad. That dissent rejects the state's ties to the U.S., which serve to bolster repression, says Ahmad Hamaideh.

Yemen's pro-government factions and Saudi Arabia have experienced major setbacks against the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen in recent weeks. Those developments are even more difficult for world leaders to ignore today, argues @Harbpeace.

“‘Crossing the Red Line’ is not a polemic, nor is it intended to be. It is a remarkable, first-of-its-kind account.. Ahmed does not shy away from identifying trends or conclusions, yet his journalistic discipline will make the book difficult for even DC power players to ignore.”

President El-Sisi's proposed new debt instrument will further shift burdens "onto Egypt's most vulnerable and away from wealthy regime insiders...worsening corruption at the expense of working-class citizens."
Analysis from @MagedMandour in @DAWN_Journal: dawnmena.org/sisis-latest-de…
A long history of repression along sectarian lines is once again worsening in the Gulf, with disastrous impacts on the region's Shia and broader civilian populations amid the regional war, writes Simon Mabon.
dawnmena.org/how-the-war-wit…
The return to war in Yemen has once again highlighted two realities crucial to broader regional geopolitics: That the Houthis (Ansar Allah) remain resilient and that U.S. security guarantees in the Gulf are unreliable, writes @Harbpeace.

"The Houthi Movement's (Ansar Allah) naval blockade on Saudi Arabia and offensive in Yemen are taking their toll ... Yet it is Riyadh's response to these actions and approach to Yemen that should raise eyebrows."
@Afrahnasser's analysis in @DAWN_Journal: dawnmena.org/can-the-new-sau…
With the U.S./Israel war on Iran and the post-October 7 context across the Middle East, the Gulf states are sharpening repression, increasingly targeting local Shia populations and civil society more broadly, writes Simon Mabon in. dawnmena.org/how-the-war-wit…

“In a move reeking of impunity, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar signed an agreement for the construction of a permanent US embassy in Jerusalem,” writes @walzerscent in @DAWN_Journal.

Gulf states fear domestic upheaval amid the war on Iran and increasingly target citizens along sectarian lines, accusing them of disloyalty. Yet these "would-be fifth columnists" are an easy pretext for repression, writes Simon Mabon.

Palestinians in Gaza have endured nearly 3 years of increasingly worsening living conditions amid Israel's genocide in the Strip, writes Nour Khalil. For the nearly 1.9 million forcibly displaced by Israel, those conditions are inhumane.

"Over 11 years into this war, Saudi Arabia still has a Houthi problem," says @Harbpeace. That problem looks poised to continue as the Yemeni Civil War escalates, with disastrous impacts on Yemeni civilians caught in the middle.

Sanctions can be a tool to achieve justice and accountability. But they must avoid the sanctions trap: mistaking pressure for strategy. Understanding that challenge is how states can successfully pressure Israel, writes @mFarshneshani. dawnmena.org/sanctions-on-is…
