Strategic Council Online – Opinion: On the threshold of a new era of space competition between Beijing and Washington, the sky is no longer considered merely an arena for great-power conflict but has become a potential platform for the development of civilian defense applications for countries.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Latin American affairs expert believes that, although the United States of America is trying to impose “new colonialism” on the Latin American region, a new form of resistance, protest, and nationwide uprisings will likely emerge.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the midst of America’s military deployment to West Asia and the Persian Gulf, which has increased tensions at the regional and global levels, the Zionist regime has seized the opportunity and accelerated the advancement of its ambitious projects, including the process of the illegal annexation of the West Bank to the occupied territories.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The tariff war and currency competition have propelled the global financial order into a phase where each shock can represent both a threat to the dollar and an opportunity for the rearrangement of global trade.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Water is gradually transforming from the source of life into a lever of power in West Asia and could rewrite the region’s security map.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: With the collapse of the last pillar of nuclear arms control between Washington and Moscow, the world stands on the threshold of a ruleless order that both carries the scent of unlimited competition and conceals within itself the possibility of new forms of bargaining.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: At a time when regional tensions are increasing simultaneously with the escalation of the Iran-U.S. confrontation, the Gaza file has entered a new and complex phase; a phase that is not merely military, but profoundly political, legal, and strategic.

Strategic Council Online – Report: While the second phase of the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire has begun, the establishment of the “Peace Board” chaired by Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Davos meeting (22 January 2026) has become more than a technical mechanism for reconstruction and has turned into a test for the future of the international order.
Despite the signing of the charter by 22 out of 60 invited countries, the limited presence of global leaders at the Davos ceremony and the non-acceptance of this body by the European Union and key Western countries indicate a deep divide in global perceptions of the legitimacy of this mechanism.
In this report, drawing on the analysis of Hadi Borhani, a regional affairs expert, and international data, three strategic questions are addressed: Is the Peace Board an instrument for implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 or a substitute for the United Nations? How does the hierarchical architecture of this committee intensify executive challenges in Gaza? And finally, can this body create sustainable peace without the cooperation of Palestinians and with the concentration of power in the hands of a single individual?
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert said: More than two years after the Al-Aqsa Storm, the question today is: What is the status of the Axis of Resistance, and has it collapsed?
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs expert stated: Trump’s new plan for ending the Gaza war is accompanied by ambiguities and unilateral conditions that have created deep skepticism among the Resistance forces and a segment of Arab and Palestinian public opinion.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the recent United Nations meeting, which centered on recognizing the state of Palestine and the two-state solution, has sparked a wave of international reactions. Supporters of this plan see it as a step towards peace. Still, critics view it with skepticism and believe that this move is more of a tool to deceive public opinion and solidify the existence of the Zionist regime than to resolve the crisis. The initiative by France and some European countries is being proposed while the genocide in Gaza continues, and the West has so far taken no effective action to stop it. Some analysts say the primary goal of this plan is not the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but rather the disarmament of resistance groups and the isolation of Hamas—an action that, through superficial negotiations and apparent peace, paves the way for realizing the interests of the Israeli regime. Iran, by rejecting the two-state solution, presents a different narrative for the future of Palestine, based on a referendum involving all indigenous inhabitants of the land.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated: The United Nations Security Council recently, in an emergency meeting, condemned the Israeli regime’s attack on Doha and, in a joint statement, called for an immediate cessation of tensions and full respect for Qatar’s national sovereignty. This statement, issued by consensus of all 15 Security Council members, while declaring solidarity with Qatar and speaking about the victimization of civilians and the necessity of a ceasefire in Gaza, did not mention the Israeli regime by name; a silence that itself carries contradictory messages. In other words, this statement was more of a political message to Tel Aviv than a legally binding instrument against the Israeli regime, stating that the international community considers attacking peace mediators a red line. However, currently, there is no will to exert practical pressure on this regime.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert stated that the Zionist regime’s airstrike on Doha, the capital of Qatar, aimed at assassinating senior Hamas leaders, once again revealed Tel Aviv’s brazen disregard for international law and the national sovereignty of countries. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of this regime, justified the operation by claiming to “eliminate an existential threat” and asserted that “Hamas leaders were targeted.” However, incoming reports indicate that this attack has failed. This aggression, carried out with the knowledge and consent of American officials, sparked a wave of anger and condemnation across the Arab and Islamic world. From the Arab League to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, and even the Palestinian Authority, they deemed this action a clear violation of international law and a serious threat to regional security. Saudi Arabia warned that the continuation of such behavior could endanger the stability of West Asia, while the UAE described the security of Arab countries as “integral and indivisible.” However, regional observers believe that this wave of condemnations will likely remain at the level of diplomatic statements, with no serious practical action taken by Arab countries—a pattern previously observed in response to the Israeli regime’s repeated attacks on Gaza. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv, relying on American support and the inaction of regional countries, is attempting to manage its internal crisis and advance the “Greater Israel” project by creating successive crises; a project whose explosions are now heard as far as the heart of the Persian Gulf.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated: By assassinating Yemeni executive officials, the Israeli regime has not only failed to achieve its military objectives, but its position has also been weakened in the diplomatic arena. In contrast, Yemen and the Resistance Front are continuing their path with greater cohesion, and the future outlook indicates that not only will their military capabilities not diminish, but their political standing will also be enhanced at the regional and global levels.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Despite widespread disagreements between Netanyahu and the Chief of the General Staff of the Zionist regime’s army, Eyal Zamir, the main framework of the plan to occupy Gaza City was finally signed after the war cabinet agreed to seize Gaza City; a decision that could have extensive consequences in the Occupied Territories and the region.

Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs expert stated: Trump’s new plan for ending the Gaza war is accompanied by ambiguities and unilateral conditions that have created deep skepticism among the Resistance forces and a segment of Arab and Palestinian public opinion.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the recent United Nations meeting, which centered on recognizing the state of Palestine and the two-state solution, has sparked a wave of international reactions. Supporters of this plan see it as a step towards peace. Still, critics view it with skepticism and believe that this move is more of a tool to deceive public opinion and solidify the existence of the Zionist regime than to resolve the crisis. The initiative by France and some European countries is being proposed while the genocide in Gaza continues, and the West has so far taken no effective action to stop it. Some analysts say the primary goal of this plan is not the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but rather the disarmament of resistance groups and the isolation of Hamas—an action that, through superficial negotiations and apparent peace, paves the way for realizing the interests of the Israeli regime. Iran, by rejecting the two-state solution, presents a different narrative for the future of Palestine, based on a referendum involving all indigenous inhabitants of the land.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated: The United Nations Security Council recently, in an emergency meeting, condemned the Israeli regime’s attack on Doha and, in a joint statement, called for an immediate cessation of tensions and full respect for Qatar’s national sovereignty. This statement, issued by consensus of all 15 Security Council members, while declaring solidarity with Qatar and speaking about the victimization of civilians and the necessity of a ceasefire in Gaza, did not mention the Israeli regime by name; a silence that itself carries contradictory messages. In other words, this statement was more of a political message to Tel Aviv than a legally binding instrument against the Israeli regime, stating that the international community considers attacking peace mediators a red line. However, currently, there is no will to exert practical pressure on this regime.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert stated that the Zionist regime’s airstrike on Doha, the capital of Qatar, aimed at assassinating senior Hamas leaders, once again revealed Tel Aviv’s brazen disregard for international law and the national sovereignty of countries. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of this regime, justified the operation by claiming to “eliminate an existential threat” and asserted that “Hamas leaders were targeted.” However, incoming reports indicate that this attack has failed. This aggression, carried out with the knowledge and consent of American officials, sparked a wave of anger and condemnation across the Arab and Islamic world. From the Arab League to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, and even the Palestinian Authority, they deemed this action a clear violation of international law and a serious threat to regional security. Saudi Arabia warned that the continuation of such behavior could endanger the stability of West Asia, while the UAE described the security of Arab countries as “integral and indivisible.” However, regional observers believe that this wave of condemnations will likely remain at the level of diplomatic statements, with no serious practical action taken by Arab countries—a pattern previously observed in response to the Israeli regime’s repeated attacks on Gaza. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv, relying on American support and the inaction of regional countries, is attempting to manage its internal crisis and advance the “Greater Israel” project by creating successive crises; a project whose explosions are now heard as far as the heart of the Persian Gulf.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated: By assassinating Yemeni executive officials, the Israeli regime has not only failed to achieve its military objectives, but its position has also been weakened in the diplomatic arena. In contrast, Yemen and the Resistance Front are continuing their path with greater cohesion, and the future outlook indicates that not only will their military capabilities not diminish, but their political standing will also be enhanced at the regional and global levels.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Despite widespread disagreements between Netanyahu and the Chief of the General Staff of the Zionist regime’s army, Eyal Zamir, the main framework of the plan to occupy Gaza City was finally signed after the war cabinet agreed to seize Gaza City; a decision that could have extensive consequences in the Occupied Territories and the region.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Arctic is no longer a frozen, remote periphery; it has become a live theater of great-power competition, where sea routes, port infrastructure, the law of the sea, and military deterrence are intertwined, shaping the future of maritime security.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: On the threshold of a new era of space competition between Beijing and Washington, the sky is no longer considered merely an arena for great-power conflict but has become a potential platform for the development of civilian defense applications for countries.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Latin American affairs expert believes that, although the United States of America is trying to impose “new colonialism” on the Latin American region, a new form of resistance, protest, and nationwide uprisings will likely emerge.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the midst of America’s military deployment to West Asia and the Persian Gulf, which has increased tensions at the regional and global levels, the Zionist regime has seized the opportunity and accelerated the advancement of its ambitious projects, including the process of the illegal annexation of the West Bank to the occupied territories.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The tariff war and currency competition have propelled the global financial order into a phase where each shock can represent both a threat to the dollar and an opportunity for the rearrangement of global trade.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Water is gradually transforming from the source of life into a lever of power in West Asia and could rewrite the region’s security map.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: With the collapse of the last pillar of nuclear arms control between Washington and Moscow, the world stands on the threshold of a ruleless order that both carries the scent of unlimited competition and conceals within itself the possibility of new forms of bargaining.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: At a time when regional tensions are increasing simultaneously with the escalation of the Iran-U.S. confrontation, the Gaza file has entered a new and complex phase; a phase that is not merely military, but profoundly political, legal, and strategic.

Strategic Council Online – Report: While the second phase of the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire has begun, the establishment of the “Peace Board” chaired by Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Davos meeting (22 January 2026) has become more than a technical mechanism for reconstruction and has turned into a test for the future of the international order.
Despite the signing of the charter by 22 out of 60 invited countries, the limited presence of global leaders at the Davos ceremony and the non-acceptance of this body by the European Union and key Western countries indicate a deep divide in global perceptions of the legitimacy of this mechanism.
In this report, drawing on the analysis of Hadi Borhani, a regional affairs expert, and international data, three strategic questions are addressed: Is the Peace Board an instrument for implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 or a substitute for the United Nations? How does the hierarchical architecture of this committee intensify executive challenges in Gaza? And finally, can this body create sustainable peace without the cooperation of Palestinians and with the concentration of power in the hands of a single individual?
