"But with Netanyahu trapped in a coalition government whose far-right elements are complicating his attempts to balance domestic and foreign priorities, the task for Biden and his team will prove a difficult one."

"في ضوء سيطرة سموتريتش على الإدارة المدنية التي تمارس السلطة الحكومية الإسرائيلية في الضفة الغربية، وإشراف بن غفير على الشرطة التي تنفّذ القانون الإسرائيلي في القدس، قد تظهر نقاط احتكاك كثيرة بين الإسرائيليين والفلسطينيين."

In 2022 Jews became a minority between the river and the sea. Of the 15 million Israelis and Palestinians who live here. 50% are Palestinian and 49% are Jewish. And that trend is expected to increase, according to prominent Israeli demographer.
Congratulations @miriamparker !

The main problem facing President Kais Saied going forward is the same problem that has bedeviled Tunisia for years: the economy.
