  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 18 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 18 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 18 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 18 hours ago

    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 18 hours ago

“I think we can safely say we'll see Emirati troops abroad in other hotspots, and while MBZ [Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan] certainly has learned lessons from Yemen, Syria, and Libya, he's not concluded that force by itself is discredited. But he's also learned a lot about the risk of being part of any one side or power bloc - for the UAE long term, it's best to have as many good friends - even if that means having no great friends - as possible, as the world evolves into a multipolar environment where the UAE will be increasingly responsible for its own security.”

“Al-Assad coming to the UAE, shortly after the Gulf Arab country voted to abstain from a UN Security Council resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine last month, tells us that the Emiratis are very serious about asserting their autonomy from the United States. The leadership in Abu Dhabi is very confident that it can take steps that upset Washington, such as welcoming Bashar al-Assad to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, without having to pay a big price in terms of its relationship with the US.”

“Abu Dhabi seeks to conduct a flexible foreign policy in which its relationships are diversified beyond the UAE's Western partnerships. Looking ahead, it expects China, Russia and India to play more influential roles as rising global powers filling a void left by the Americans. Because the UAE sees Russia as a key partner, it has been carefully navigating the Ukraine conflict so as to avoid problems with Moscow that might harm their relationship just to please Washington.”

“The visit by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the UAE, which comes after the visit by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to the Turkish republic, opens a new, positive page in bilateral relations between the two countries and is in harmony with the UAE's efforts to build stronger communication and cooperation bridges that aim towards a stable, flourishing region.”

“There's a difficult dilemma facing the Emirati authorities now. They are increasingly under threat from the Houthis, but at the same time … we've had a pretty extensive military campaign in Yemen and rather than reduce the missile threats to the GCC states, what we've seen instead is an increase in that threat. If the UAE decides to target the Houthis more aggressively, that would be stoking tensions further and triggering a downwards spiral. It's going to have to be something that goes beyond just purely defensive military posture … It will have to involve diplomacy, efforts to increase the resilience of critical civilian and energy infrastructure in the country.”

“The attack may have been prompted by recent advances made by a UAE-backed militia in Yemen, but this is unlikely to be the only - or perhaps not even the main - reason. The attack against Abu Dhabi also served as a dire warning by Iran to the UAE. The United States has been pressuring the UAE to better enforce Iran sanctions as nuclear talks continue. Depending on how the JCPOA [Iran nuclear deal] talks play out and on the UAE's own behaviour, more such attacks may be carried out against the country.”

“It [the attack] totally undermines the UAE's reputation as a place of stability especially vis-a-vis tourism, finance, and trade, but crucially it also casts doubt on their ability to build a nuclear power station.”

“This attack brings home to the UAE that they were playing the game of a major power in the region. It made the Gulf country realise that they are, after all a small state with a lot of vulnerabilities. This [the incident] is the greatest damage to the reputation of the UAE because they have always portrayed themselves as a safe and secure country to do business. All their [Emirati] foreign policy adventures have brought home that they are quite vulnerable to unconventional and asymmetric threats from different groups they're fighting across the region. Despite claiming to have the most sophisticated air defences in the region, a drone from Yemen has landed at a strategic site in Abu Dhabi. This insecurity has been brought upon them by their own adventures … as unfinished wars now come back to haunt them.”

“Expo 2020 is yet another opportunity for the UAE to falsely present itself on the world stage as open, tolerant, and rights-respecting while shutting down the space for politics, public discourse, and activism.”

“The potential U.S.-Iran detente, the energy transition, and competition in non-oil diversification makes for a particularly challenging period of divergence [between United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia] this time round.”

“[Muslims] have to listen carefully to what Macron said in his speech. He doesn’t want to isolate Muslims in the West, and he is totally right. The French state has the right to search for ways to achieve this in parallel with combating extremism and societal closure.”

“The decision sends a clear message that the UAE is committed to its decision to normalize relations with Israel. It does also raise questions about possible repercussions for anyone in the country calling for the boycott of Israeli goods, now that doing so contradicts the state policy.”

“It is absolutely fundamental to discard the polarised lenses and partisanship when discussing the UAE announcement of open ties with Israel. The problem is deeper than just the UAE. A holistic approach to the topic reveals that this latest development is the culmination of decades of Gulf-wide taboo breaking from Qatar embracing Israel and Al-Udeid, Bahrain hosting Kushner to present his Deal of the Century, Oman receiving Netanyahu to threaten UAE, and UAE brokering meetings for Netanyahu with Sudan's AbdulFattah Burhan. Otherwise they are bound by geostrategic realities to cooperate with their larger neighbours whether they be Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or Iran.”

“It’s not really a race but a mission for humanity. I think it’s more of a friendly competition. It is good always to compete with others and now the UAE is the first Arabic country that sent a spacecraft to Mars. Space is an area where all countries work together. Competition is good but in the end, it’s all about collaboration and working together,”
