All still unfolding. See this as :
*Iran axis response to Israel normalization talks with Saudi. Also undermines Iran-Saudi normalization
*Palestinian response to worsening/unbearable oppression under occupation. But operation will only make things worse for Pal civilians. 2/4

Some Syrian friends in Beirut already on road to Damascus. No one ever wants to be a refugee, live in a foreign land, close or far but no one wants to live under murderous regime, risk prison or death. Friends in Damascus reporting celebrations on streets. It's 5.30 am there.

Outrageous and ominous. First, his supposed goal was to push Hezbollah away from border so Israelis could return home. Now goal is for the Lebanese to "free themselves from Hezbollah" or face "abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.” x.com/kimghattas/s...

@FT: As Israel pounds the Gaza Strip, more and more regional actors are being drawn in, from the Houthis in Yemen, to Isis in Iraq and Syria.

I write to you, crying and worried about you, and I am only reassured by seeing you every time I visit.

The real price I pay here is my deprivation of you and my fear for you only."
