Britain, Canada, and France's proposed "solution" of an Islamic state within Israel's borders – ostensibly in the name of their own "fundamental national interest" -- read re-election by the newcomer voting bloc -- would undoubtedly lead to another disaster like October 7, 2023. gatestoneinstitute.org/22872…

Why is the Palestinian Authority's ruling Fatah faction treating Hamas as a legitimate political partner before the group has demonstrated a willingness to abandon terrorism, surrender its weapons, and relinquish its independent military forces? gatestoneinstitute.org/22927…

Jared Kushner had the Abraham Accords. What will Massad Boulos (Senior Advisor to the President for Arab and African Affairs) leave behind? The photograph should document a victory — not substitute for one. gatestoneinstitute.org/22926…

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, it appears, is directing most of the state's resources, foreign aid included, toward a large standing army and new weapons systems, while concealing the scale of the effort. gatestoneinstitute.org/22923…

The most concrete illustration of tax-exempt Islamist groups stepping directly into US electoral contests involves the 2026 Michigan Democratic Party primary for the US Senate. Abdul El-Sayed prevailed on August 4 by roughly 13,800 votes — a margin under one percent. In the preceding weeks, imams at several tax-exempt Michigan mosques urged support for him from the pulpit, and two of them brought the candidate onto the pulpit during services. gatestoneinstitute.org/22922…

On June 30, Ahmed Yetrib, a Belgian Muslim who converted to Catholicism, reported receiving death threats on social media, partly because he was sharing his reasons for converting. His ordeal began in 2018, when he was baptized, at which point his entire family ostracized him. gatestoneinstitute.org/22920…

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has done it again. On October 10, he announced that elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), originally scheduled for November 2026, will be postponed until September 11, 2027. gatestoneinstitute.org/22921…

A truce confined to refineries would shield Russia's principal vulnerability and leave Ukraine's electric grid open to further attacks as winter sets in. That suits Putin, who, according to sources familiar with his thinking, wants no energy truce before winter and is counting on Ukrainian suffering blackouts in the winter cold to extract concessions his army has failed to win. gatestoneinstitute.org/22918…

The founder and leader of France Unbowed, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is a Trotskyist who, already in his youth, embraced the concept of "permanent revolution". Over the years he has made no secret of his desire for a radical transformation of France. He supports the Islamization of the country and advocates a "great replacement" of the native French population with a new demographic from the Muslim world that would constitute what he calls the "new France." gatestoneinstitute.org/22917…

Communist China continues to pursue a deliberate and calculated military strategy designed to gain global dominance at a time and place of its choosing. It is now placing its military aircraft on an air base in neighboring Laos. gatestoneinstitute.org/22916…

The question is no longer simply what Washington and Jerusalem have achieved together. It is whether they can turn those achievements into lasting security. gatestoneinstitute.org/22915…

Europe has developed an extraordinary economic talent: it watches a technological revolution begin elsewhere, writes the rules for it, builds the authorities to supervise it, imposes the reporting — and only then wonders why so little of it is happening in Europe. gatestoneinstitute.org/22914…

US President Donald Trump has been neutralizing a potentially nuclear-armed, revolutionary Iran; trying to strengthen the Israel-Arab alignment; and sidelining Iran's terrorist proxies. These accomplishments in just two years represent a triumph in rolling back a nearly half-century threat not only to regional stability but also -- through oil and geographic realignment -- weakening Russia and China, reclaiming Western interests, and rescuing the survival of the Free World. gatestoneinstitute.org/22911…

Russian President Vladimir Putin has rediscovered the vocabulary of peace at the precise moment his army is taking Ukraine apart, one bridge and one power station at a time. gatestoneinstitute.org/22908…

Three years after the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the second-largest terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, is making one thing clear: it has no intention of abandoning its armed struggle against Israel. gatestoneinstitute.org/22909…

The present situation recalls the traditional waves of jihadist conquest of territories inhabited by Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims. Greek, Serbian, and Slavic historians bitterly chronicled, over the course of centuries, the internal traitors — military figures, displaced aristocrats, princes of the Church — who made pacts with Muslim conquerors and handed citadels and cities over to them. gatestoneinstitute.org/22902…

The tiny socialist majority was won in Sweden's elections last month through heavy voter mobilization within immigrant communities, which tipped the balance. Turnout rose around 3 points to 67.5% in the almost exclusively urban districts, where mainly Muslim immigrants live. gatestoneinstitute.org/22893…

The international media has repeatedly presented the deaths of Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip as evidence that Israel is deliberately targeting journalists. Yet the IDF recently released a database identifying 170 Palestinians killed during the war whom it says were also members of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or other terrorist organizations, including their military identification numbers, ranks and unit affiliations. gatestoneinstitute.org/22900…

The French government was reportedly "taken by surprise" when students began rioting roughly two weeks ago. Many Europeans see Islamization gaining ground in their countries and enjoying support from Marxists: each thinks the other will bring it to power. They see their leaders doing nothing to remedy a situation that has become increasingly alarming. gatestoneinstitute.org/22891…

What happened aboard flydubai flight FZ1073 should concern every government, intelligence service and airline in the world. gatestoneinstitute.org/22898…
