Mearsheimer argues that the idea that the US and Israel are making a safer, more stable Middle East is ludicrous, emphasizing that the real threat comes from their collaboration.

There's a chilling effect on not just my academic freedom, but that of my colleagues; anyone who dares to speak out against the war and against aggression.

Taybeh, a small hilltop town in the heart of the West Bank, is one of the oldest Christian communities in the world, now feeling under siege and fighting for its existence.

We, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Moldova, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Spain and Sweden, concerned by the conflict in the Middle East, are appalled by the dramatic situation and renewed escalation of violence in Lebanon, where there are already 1.2 million internally displaced persons, representing some 25% of the overall population.

Israel's military operations have ramped up significantly, with a focus on Iranian infrastructure in Isfahan, aiming to disrupt arms production as the conflict escalates.

What America and Israel are doing in their aggression against the countries of the region is not a war of a military nature, but a senseless war, said Dhirgham Samir, a demonstrator in his 40s.

Australia's economic insulation is no longer guaranteed by geography, as geopolitical unrest in the Middle East can swiftly impact its economy through international energy markets.

While the world's attention is on the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, the Israeli military has placed the West Bank under a functional lockdown. Checkpoints in and out of most major cities are closed, and Palestinians have been left to look for other travel arrangements.

What we're really talking about is whether it will continue as the same entity as it is now. For instance, the way apartheid South Africa was no longer the same entity after 1994, or that East Germany was the same entity after unification [in 1990]. The argument is that Israel, as it stands now, is unsustainable. And it is not so much about the way Israel treats Palestinians, but about division within Israel.
