The United Nations is electing its next Secretary-General later this year. With a complex and rapidly changing international order, who are the candidates prepared to rise up to the challenge?
Global attention has been fixed on the Iran-US standoff in Hormuz, and Israel has been uncharacteristically quiet. But the walls are closing around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has two real options: accept an off-ramp from the conflict in the hopes of improving Israel’s image and waiting for a better moment to renew hostilities, or attempt to drag the US back into a shooting war with Iran while some level of American support is still assured. The strategic and political realities on the ground make the latter option much more likely.
It seems like American support for Israel is falling everyday, which is a major problem for them in the middle of the war. Curious to see what people think the Israeli reaction to this will be. I know that they quadrupled their PR budget recently.
