The latest Arab Opinion Index 2022 is yet more proof that Arab societies are diverse in every possible way, from their assessment of their economic situation and living conditions to their take on immigration, state institutions and democracy, with one single exception: Palestine. Seventy-six percent of all respondents to the poll, which is carried out…
Two years ago, Morocco and Israel signed the US-brokered “Joint Declaration”, thus officially recognizing Israel and instating diplomatic ties.

As these words are being written, the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are in Washington DC to sign agreements to normalize relations between their countries and the state of Israel.

Given the long list of its genocidal recipients, the Nobel Peace Prize was already considered by many as a sham award. But new laureate Maria Corina Machado outdid her peers by immediately dedicating her prize to Donald Trump and endorsing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his attack on Gaza and beyond.
