By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer For those rushing to war with a weakened Iran, this is not a historic opportunity. US authoritarian foreign policy undervalues diplomacy and does not adjust well to a growing multipolar reality. This time, a prolonged attack by the US, coordinated with Israel, would be perceived by Tehran as … Continued
By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer Iran’s influence on Hezbollah will be affected by the developing situation of Tehran’s regime over the next crucial weeks. And Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Iran’s closest ally, is examining its options as the tension inside and outside Lebanon rises. The US keeps on pressuring Lebanon’s fragile state to disarm … Continued
By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer What Netanyahu and Trump fail to grasp is that war may start as a desired solution but often ends as a nightmare – as Gaza’s two-year conflict has clearly demonstrated. Moving from one nightmare to another, possibly on its way: Iran. On February 5, the Trump administration … Continued
By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer At the time of this writing, the chances for an imminent US attack on Iran, possibly coordinated with Israel, appear disturbingly high.

By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer Without vision, reconstruction is pointless. Gaza remains in agony despite the emergence of Trump’s pacification programs.

The plan was unveiled by Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It included a concept image depicting a rebuilt Gaza as a futuristic city. An … Continued
By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer Trump is too distracted by unthinkable politics to save Gaza. Despite a complicated overseas agenda-including his aggressive campaign to acquire Greenland, tame Iran, and coerce Venezuela- President Trump announced phase two of his Gaza Peace Plan while facing an equally charged domestic agenda.\ Three months of planning … Continued
By: Emma Campbell / Arab America Contributing Writer A City Where Language Holds Power Jerusalem functions as both a sacred city and a contested linguistic landscape. Within its boundaries, language is not neutral – it holds power, belonging, and resistance. Processes of Judaization1, and more specifically Hebraization2, deliberately elevate Hebrew’s prestige as a language while … Continued
By Jake Harris / Arab America Contributing Writer A panel of judges on a US appeals court in Philadelphia reversed the ruling that released Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from detention. Khalil was detained on allegations from the Trump administration that he was involved in activities aligned to Hamas. Khalil is not charged with any crime. … Continued
By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer In responding to overseas suffering, the Western powers must listen carefully to the people being helped in order to avoid doing harm as they intervene. Two dramatic upheavals unfold simultaneously: one in Iran, the other in Venezuela. Though occurring in vastly different contexts, both nations share some … Continued
By: Robert Jackson/Arab America Contributing Writer The Time That Remains, written and directed by Elia Suleiman, is a brilliant piece of Palestinian filmmaking.
