Media Review: US-Iran War is Igniting Regime Change Risks Across Arab Monarchies

 The Fragile Thrones

As the United States resumes its military strikes against Iran, the geopolitical fault lines of the Middle East are shifting inward. For years, Arab authoritarian regimes have operated on a precarious social contract: trading limited political representation for economic stability and security guarantees, almost always underwritten by Washington. However, as Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia are increasingly perceived as facilitators of a US-Israeli war effort against the Islamic Republic, that social contract is fracturing. Regime change risk, once dismissed by Western analysts as a relic of the 2011 Arab Spring, is now a tangible and escalating reality. Nowhere is this dynamic more explosive than in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Jordan: The Hashemite Crucible

For decades, the Hashimite regime has relied on a carefully curated narrative of religious legitimacy and royal lineage to consolidate power. This top-down approach has effectively centralized absolute authority in the palace, systematically robbing Jordanians of meaningful self-representation in government. The King retains the final say on all matters of state, a dynamic that has grown increasingly untenable as the kingdom’s foreign policy diverges sharply from the will of its people.

Today, Jordan’s close military alliance with the United States and its perceived complicity in the ongoing devastation of Palestine have sparked profound domestic outrage. This anger is compounded by a deep sense of betrayal regarding the Palestinian cause—a sentiment made more acute by the fact that Queen Rania is of Palestinian roots. To a populace watching neighboring Gaza and the West Bank suffer, the monarchy’s silence, coupled with its logistical facilitation of US-Israeli operations, is viewed not just as a foreign policy choice, but as a moral and political abdication.

The boiling point is now visible on the streets and in the halls of parliament. As recently reported, hundreds of Jordanian political, legal, and civil society figures have signed an open letter demanding the expulsion of US military forces. The letter explicitly warns that these bases expose Jordan to "security, political, and economic risks that serve no national interest" and increase the likelihood of the country being dragged into a regional conflict to which it is not a party.

Ninety-year-old veteran activist Sufyan al-Tell, who was detained by security forces in 2022 for planning to protest a speech by the monarch, framed the letter as a necessary revelation of the chasm between the rulers and the ruled. "We as Jordanian people do not accept the politics of the government and its exploitation of Jordan and its capabilities in one way or another to defend Israel," al-Tell stated, warning that the government’s predictable response is to "open the prison doors and drag us one after another to prison."

The tension is not confined to street activists. In a recent parliamentary session, a heated debate erupted when MP Ali al-Khalayleh suggested issuing formal condolences to Washington following the deaths of US soldiers in Iranian strikes targeting US bases in Jordan. He was swiftly met with furious shouts from fellow lawmakers, with one accusing the US military of killing "children, women, and the elderly."

This domestic fury is set against a backdrop of direct military escalation. Jordan has been among the leading Arab states facilitating US-Israeli attacks against Iran via its airspace and military sites. Consequently, it has become a direct target. Just hours ago, the kingdom reported intercepting Iranian missiles and drones launched in retaliation for the US resuming its strikes on July 30. For an already impoverished kingdom grappling with severe water scarcity, record unemployment, and crushing debt, the economic and security costs of hosting this conflict are becoming catastrophic. King Abdullah II may be forced to recalibrate his foreign and domestic policy, much as he did with limited political concessions during the 2011 Arab Spring. However, the margin for error is drastically thinner today, and the demands of the street are far more systemic.

The Ripple Effect: Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia

The tremors originating in Amman are being felt across the Gulf, where similar dynamics of authoritarian rule and fraught US alliances are creating volatile domestic environments.

In Bahrain, the ruling Al Khalifa family faces a perennial challenge from its Shia majority population, which maintains strong cultural and religious ties to Iran. Bahrain’s role as the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet makes it a prime strategic asset for Washington, but also a primary target for Iranian retaliation. Any perception that Manama is actively enabling strikes against Tehran risks igniting widespread civil unrest that the regime, despite heavy Saudi backing, may struggle to contain without brutal repression that would further isolate it internationally.

In Kuwait, the dynamic is different but equally precarious. The country possesses a more vocal and active parliament than its neighbors, and there is a strong, historically rooted anti-interventionist sentiment among the public. Kuwaiti lawmakers and civil society have consistently pushed back against being drawn into US-led military adventures. As the threat of Iranian retaliation grows, the Kuwaiti government will face immense pressure to distance itself from US military operations, directly challenging the long-standing US-Kuwaiti defense pact and testing the limits of the ruling family’s authority.

Even Saudi Arabia, despite Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s recent diplomatic outreach to Tehran and his focus on the "Vision 2030" economic transformation, is not immune. While Riyadh has publicly sought to avoid direct confrontation, its deep security integration with the United States makes it a vulnerable target. Any covert facilitation of US war efforts, or even perceived complicity, could invite devastating drone or missile attacks from Iran or its regional proxies. Such an escalation would shatter the illusion of stability and security that underpins the Crown Prince’s domestic legitimacy and economic ambitions.

The summer of 2026 marks a critical inflection point for Arab monarchies. The assumption that populations will silently endure the geopolitical ambitions of their rulers is no longer valid. By aligning themselves with a US-led war against Iran, these regimes are not merely making a foreign policy calculation; they are gambling with their own survival.

In Jordan, the intersection of economic despair, Palestinian solidarity, and the immediate, physical threat of Iranian retaliation has created a perfect storm. If the Hashemite monarchy, and others like it, cannot fundamentally recalibrate their relationship with both their people and Washington, the demand for regime change will transition from a whispered risk to an unavoidable reality. The era of unquestioned authoritarian stability in the Middle East is drawing to a close.

Aaron Bushnell: "I will no longer be complicit in genocide… This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal"

Aaron Bushnell: "I will no longer be complicit in genocide… This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal"

A Sacrifice of Conscience

On February 25, 2024, a Sunday afternoon in Washington, D.C., the ongoing global discourse regarding the war in Gaza was punctuated by a singular, traumatic event. Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old active-duty member of the United States Air Force, set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy. Livestreaming the act on the platform Twitch, Bushnell shouted, "I will no longer be complicit in genocide," before collapsing. His death hours later at a local hospital transformed him instantly from an anonymous serviceman into a polarizing symbol of dissent, sparking a complex debate regarding moral responsibility, military service, and the human cost of the conflict in West Asia.

The facts of the incident are well-documented through police reports, eyewitness accounts, and the digital footprint Bushnell left behind. Arriving at the embassy shortly after 1:00 p.m., Bushnell doused himself in a flammable liquid and ignited it. As Metropolitan Police Department officers rushed to extinguish the flames, Bushnell repeatedly shouted, "Free Palestine." He was transported to MedStar Washington Hospital Center in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead. The Secret Service and the FBI subsequently opened investigations, classifying the incident as a security breach, while the Air Force launched an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of the serviceman.

Bushnell's final statement, "This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal," served as the thesis of his protest. It was a direct condemnation of the United States' continued military and diplomatic support for Israel amidst the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. By using the term "genocide," Bushnell aligned himself with a specific legal and political argument that had gained traction in international forums, including the International Court of Justice, where South Africa had filed a case alleging Israel was violating the Genocide Convention. For Bushnell, the abstract policy debates occurring in Washington had reached a moral breaking point that he felt compelled to address through extreme physical action.

Prior to the incident, Bushnell was described by colleagues and officials as a dedicated serviceman with no prior disciplinary record. Assigned to the 5th Intelligence Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas, he held a Top Secret security clearance. In the days following his death, the Air Force confirmed his active-duty status but withheld further details pending the investigation. This background added weight to his protest; he was not an outside agitator but an insider within the military apparatus he sought to critique. His action raised difficult questions for the Department of Defense regarding the mental health support available to service members distressed by foreign policy decisions, as well as the boundaries of political expression within the military.

The reaction to Bushnell's death was immediate and deeply divided, reflecting the broader polarization surrounding the Israel-Hamas war. For supporters of the Palestinian cause, Bushnell became a martyr. Vigils were held in cities across the United States, including New York and Los Angeles, as well as internationally in London and Beirut. In these gatherings, participants honored his willingness to sacrifice his life to draw attention to civilian casualties in Gaza. Digital memorials proliferated on social media, where his final words were circulated as a call to conscience. Graffiti bearing his name appeared on government buildings, cementing his status as a folk hero within specific activist circles.

Conversely, government officials and other segments of the public viewed the act through a lens of tragedy and security concern. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre described the event as "horrific" and expressed condolences to Bushnell's family, while reiterating the administration's policy positions. Security experts analyzed the breach at the embassy as a failure of protocol, leading to heightened security measures at diplomatic missions. Mental health advocates also weighed in, emphasizing the need for intervention and support for individuals experiencing extreme distress, cautioning against the glorification of self-harm as a political tool.

The legacy of Aaron Bushnell is inextricably linked to the historical moment in which it occurred. His protest took place months into a conflict that had already displaced millions of Palestinians and resulted in significant loss of life, sparking widespread protests on American university campuses and in city streets. While civil disobedience is a recognized tradition in American political history, Bushnell's method marked a rare and extreme escalation in the context of modern foreign policy dissent.

The self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell stands as a stark, tragic chapter in the history of protest against the war in Gaza. It forced a confrontation between individual conscience and state policy, highlighting the intensity of feeling the conflict has generated worldwide. While his method of protest remains a subject of profound ethical and safety concern, his final words continue to resonate within the global discourse on human rights and military complicity. The event serves as a somber reminder of the human toll of geopolitical conflicts, not only for those in the war zone but for those who feel morally bound to oppose it from afar.

Global Solidarity March to Gaza: A Historic Civilian Mobilization to Break the Siege

Global Solidarity March to Gaza: A Historic Civilian Mobilization to Break the Siege

    Wednesday, June 11, 2025   No comments

June 2025 – In an unprecedented act of international solidarity, over 4,000 individuals from more than 80 countries have launched a global march to Gaza, aiming to reach the besieged Palestinian territory on foot via Egypt’s Rafah border crossing. The initiative, titled “The Global March to Gaza,” is being organized by a coalition of international trade unions, human rights groups, and solidarity movements in response to what they describe as a “man-made humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza, under Israeli siege since October 2023.

About a year ago, Republican politicians suggested that American citizens who are protesting the genocide in Gaza be sent to Gaza; it would seem some are doing just that now.

A Humanitarian Crisis in Focus

Led by the International Coalition Against Israeli Occupation, the march is a civilian response to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Gaza, where over two million residents face famine, medical shortages, and a near-total blockade. The organizers cite starvation being used as a weapon and the systematic targeting of civilians, especially children, as central motivations for this extraordinary mobilization.

Thousands of aid trucks, loaded with food, medicine, and fuel, have been stalled at the Rafah border for months. The marchers aim to physically escort and pressure for their immediate entry.

International Participation and Civil Mobilization

The march is uniquely global and grassroots. Delegations include European parliamentarians and civil society representatives from across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. The “March to Gaza” has drawn support not only from Arab and Muslim communities but also from diverse backgrounds—doctors, lawyers, students, and humanitarian activists, many of whom are personally financing their participation.

Groups such as the Catalan alternative union (IAC), Irish human rights activists, and legal advocates like German lawyer Melanie Schweizer emphasize the peaceful and volunteer-based nature of the march. According to spokesperson Karen Moynihan of the Irish group, this is “a civilian cry against genocide,” calling for an end to complicity by silence.

Objectives of the March

The organizers have laid out five primary goals:

• Stop the Genocide: Pressure the international community to halt ongoing Israeli violations against Palestinians, particularly the deliberate starvation of civilians.
• Immediate Humanitarian Access: Demand the entry of urgent aid through Rafah without restrictions, emphasizing the thousands of trucks already waiting at the border.

• End the Siege: Advocate for the unconditional lifting of the Israeli blockade, enabling sustainable access to essentials like water, food, fuel, and medicine.
• International Accountability: Urge global institutions to hold Israel accountable for violations of international law, and condemn governments that remain passive or complicit.
• Empower Civil Society: Amplify the voices of global civil society as a force of peaceful resistance, drawing inspiration from historical solidarity movements and emphasizing non-violent civilian action.

Path to Gaza: A Difficult but Symbolic Route

Participants began arriving in Cairo in early June, ahead of a final push towards Gaza. The “Caravan of Steadfastness,” a land convoy from Algeria and Tunisia, is scheduled to merge with the larger group in Egypt’s northern Sinai region. From the city of Al-Arish, the coalition will begin its march on foot to the Rafah crossing, where they plan to stage a peaceful sit-in until aid is allowed in.

Organizers acknowledge the challenges of marching through desert terrain but insist it pales in comparison to the suffering endured by Gazans over the past 20 months.

A Message of Peace and Global Conscience

The march is deliberately unaffiliated with any government, military force, or political party. It is presented as a civilian-led, peaceful protest meant to convey the global demand for justice, humanity, and dignity for Palestinians.

“This is not just a march to Gaza,” said organizer Saif Abu Khashk. “It is a march for humanity itself.”

As international attention turns toward Rafah, the Global March to Gaza represents a striking moment in modern civil action—where borders, languages, and politics are set aside in the name of urgent humanitarian relief and moral accountability. Whether or not it succeeds in breaking the blockade, the march has already sent a clear message: the world is watching, and civil society is rising.

Causes and Consequences of Arresting Istanbul's Mayor

Causes and Consequences of Arresting Istanbul's Mayor

    Sunday, March 23, 2025   No comments

The political landscape in Turkey has been thrust into turmoil following the recent arrest of Ekrem Imamoglu, the popular mayor of Istanbul. Imamoglu, a member of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), was detained on corruption charges in a move that many see as politically motivated.

The arrest order, issued by a judge in Istanbul, came amid a wave of widespread protests across Turkey condemning Imamoglu's detention. The mayor was accused of "irregularities" in his handling of municipal contracts and "terrorist propaganda" - charges that his supporters decry as fabricated attempts to remove a powerful political rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party.

The controversy began last week when Turkey's Interior Ministry suspended Imamoglu from his post as Istanbul mayor, along with the mayors of two other Istanbul districts. This action was taken under Article 127 of the Turkish constitution, which allows for the temporary removal of elected officials facing criminal investigations.

In response, Istanbul's city council convened an emergency session and elected a temporary replacement mayor to fill Imamoglu's role. However, Imamoglu has refused to back down, defiantly calling the move an "attack on democracy" and urging all 86 million Turkish citizens to "fill the ballot boxes and raise their voices against injustice."

The fallout from Imamoglu's arrest has ignited a groundswell of public anger that has extended far beyond just his supporters. Protests have erupted in over two-thirds of Turkey's 81 provinces, with demonstrators - including many apolitical young people and university students - voicing their outrage at what they see as the government's blatant abuse of power.

The broader significance of this crisis lies in the potential long-term implications for Turkish democracy. Imamoglu was widely viewed as a rising political star and a formidable challenger to Erdogan's dominance. His detention appears to be an attempt by the president and his party to eliminate a potent electoral threat ahead of next year's presidential and parliamentary elections.

The outcomes of this crisis remain highly uncertain. Imamoglu's supporters have vowed to continue their protests, raising the specter of sustained civil unrest. The government, for its part, has signaled its intent to press ahead with the prosecution, potentially leading to a drawn-out legal battle.

Ultimately, the fate of Ekrem Imamoglu and the future of Turkey's fragile democracy hang in the balance. This crisis has laid bare the deep divisions and power struggles within the country, and its resolution will have profound consequences for the country's political trajectory in the years to come.

Turkish court formally places Istanbul mayor Imamoglu under arrest on corruption charges

 Following a warning from the Supreme Council of Radio and Television, Turkish television channels have stopped live broadcasts from the sites of rallies, protests and from the Palace of Justice in Istanbul, where a court decision on the preventive measure for Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu is expected.

Over 300 people have been detained, one police officer was attacked with acid, reports say. 

Turkey in Crisis: The Arrest of Ekrem Imamoglu and Its Far-Reaching Consequences

Turkey in Crisis: The Arrest of Ekrem Imamoglu and Its Far-Reaching Consequences

    Wednesday, March 19, 2025   No comments

Turkey is facing a period of heightened political and social unrest following the arrest of Istanbul’s mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu. This event has ignited massive protests, deepened tensions between the government and the opposition, and drawn international scrutiny over the state of democracy and rule of law in Turkey.

Mass Protests and Public Outrage

Thousands of Turkish citizens have taken to the streets in major cities, including Istanbul, Ankara, Trabzon, and Izmir, protesting Imamoglu’s arrest on charges of corruption and alleged connections to terrorist groups. The opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has condemned the arrest as politically motivated, urging its supporters to mobilize nationwide in defense of democracy. The government, meanwhile, has cracked down on demonstrations, deploying riot police who have used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds.

A Politically Charged Arrest

Imamoglu, a prominent opposition leader and a key challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the upcoming 2028 elections, was detained following an early morning raid on his home in Istanbul. His arrest coincided with the cancellation of his university degree by Istanbul University, an act perceived by many as part of a broader campaign to discredit him.

Alongside Imamoglu, Turkish authorities have issued arrest warrants for 105 other municipal officials linked to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. The charges against them include corruption, fraud, and alleged ties to the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK), an organization affiliated with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Critics argue that these accusations are baseless and reflect the government’s increasing use of the judiciary as a tool to silence political opponents.

Government Restrictions and Crackdown on Freedoms

In response to the growing unrest, Turkish authorities have imposed stringent measures, including a four-day ban on protests and public gatherings in Istanbul. Internet access and social media platforms have been restricted, while metro and transportation routes leading to key protest sites, such as Taksim Square, have been shut down. Despite these efforts, demonstrations have persisted, with students and faculty from universities like Boğaziçi, Istanbul Technical University, and Yıldız Technical University joining the movement.

Impact on Turkey’s Economy and International Relations

The arrest of Imamoglu has triggered severe economic consequences, with the Turkish lira losing 12% of its value against the U.S. dollar. The Istanbul stock exchange also experienced a sharp decline, prompting a temporary suspension of trading. Economic analysts warn that these developments could further destabilize an already fragile economy and deter foreign investment.

Internationally, the European Union and other Western allies have voiced concern over Imamoglu’s detention. The Council of Europe issued a strong condemnation, describing the arrest as a move against the will of the Turkish people. European lawmakers and human rights organizations have called on Turkey to uphold democratic principles and the independence of its judiciary.

A Pattern of Political Repression?

Imamoglu’s arrest is the latest in a series of crackdowns against opposition figures, journalists, and activists. The recent imprisonment of Ümit Özdağ, leader of the nationalist Victory Party, further underscores Turkey’s deteriorating human rights record. Many fear that Erdoğan’s government is intensifying its efforts to suppress dissent and consolidate power ahead of the next elections.

An Uncertain Future for Turkey

The arrest of Ekrem Imamoglu marks a pivotal moment in Turkish politics. While the government maintains that the charges against him are legitimate, widespread public outrage and international condemnation suggest otherwise. With increasing economic turmoil, growing discontent, and the erosion of democratic norms, Turkey stands at a crossroads—one that could determine its future as either a democracy or an authoritarian state.

As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes remain on Turkey, watching whether its institutions will uphold justice or succumb further to political influence.

Another US governmental official and a Biden Appointee, who is also Jewish, resign protesting Biden's handling of the war in Gaza calling it a Genocide

Another US governmental official and a Biden Appointee, who is also Jewish, resign protesting Biden's handling of the war in Gaza calling it a Genocide

    Friday, May 17, 2024   No comments

In a move that some observers described as a resounding rejection of Biden's handling of the war in Gaza, a high-ranking Jewish employee in the administration of US President Joe Biden announced her resignation from her position on Wednesday, due to what she described as his disastrous and ongoing support for the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

In an article published by the Washington Post, Lily Greenberg Call, Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff at the Interior Ministry, cited her Jewish upbringing and relationship with Israel and recounted how her family fled from Europe to America to escape anti-Semitic persecution there.

In her resignation letter (see below), Greenberg Call - who made the first public resignation by a Jew over Biden's support for Israel - wrote, "I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration amid President Biden's disastrous and continuing support for the genocide in Gaza."

In an interview she conducted with writer Yasmine Abu Talib Yasmine Abu Talib, Greenberg Call said that resigning was a difficult decision because of the society in which she grew up, but the Jewish values ​​in which she was raised led her to make this decision.

“Judaism is the most important part of my identity, and all the values ​​I was raised with and all my Jewish education are what led me to this decision,” Greenberg Call said. She added, "What Israel is doing in Gaza and to the Palestinians throughout the land does not represent the Jews and is a shame to our ancestors."

Commenting on her position in the Biden administration, she said, “Everyone here is thinking about achieving the American dream and rising to the top, but I asked myself several times during the past eight months: What is the benefit of power if it is not used to stop crimes against humanity?”

Earlier this week, a US Army major working for the Defense Intelligence Agency resignedUS Army major working for the Defense Intelligence Agency resigned, writing in an open letter that he felt “incredibly ashamed and guilty” when he realized that his work contributed to the suffering and killing of Palestinians.

A political official also resigned from the Ministry of Education last January, and an employee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who worked on transporting weapons to foreign countries last October.

In february of this year, U.S. airman Aaron Bushnell U.S. airman Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., after he described his action while walking to the location as an extreme act of protest against the war in Gaza—a desperate plea to “free Palestine,” as he screamed while flames engulfed his body.

As early as October of last year, some US officials, including State Department officials, have resigned rejecting Biden's blind support of a genocidal war in Gaza.

Whi is Lily Greenberg Call

 An American Jewish politician and human rights activist at the local and international levels. She served as Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff at the US Department of the Interior, and participated in the election campaigns of US President Joe Biden and his Vice President, Kamala Harris.

She worked for many years within Zionist groups supporting Israel, then took an anti-occupation stance, opposed violence in the occupied Palestinian territories, and called for peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Jews.

Lily Greenberg Cole was born and raised in San Diego, California. Her origins go back to a Jewish family that immigrated to the United States of America to escape the persecution practiced against Jews in Europe.

Her family lived on Ellis Island, New York, and spent decades suffering under the weight of racial discrimination, which affected Lily's upbringing and her vision of issues of justice and discrimination.

Greenberg grew up in a Jewish community in which unconditional support for Israel prevails, to the point where it is considered part of the Jewish identity, so she was a prominent youth in pro-Israel activism in her high school years, and has been involved in the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) since her freshman year of high school. She was elected president of the Israel Defense Club at her school.

When she was 16 years old, she went on a trip to the occupied territories and stayed there for a full year, as part of a program for the “Jewish Youth” movement, which included making trips in the occupying state and joining educational courses. Among the activities were meetings with Palestinian teenagers, the goal of which was Developing the spirit of coexistence between the two parties.

When she joined the University of California, she joined pro-Israel groups, and became the leader of a student movement supporting Israel and known within the university.

In 2017, she led a trip to Israel, organized by the Hillel Berkeley Jewish Student Center. Students from a wide range of ethnic and religious backgrounds joined the trip, visited Palestinian cities such as Bethlehem and Ramallah, and met Palestinians and settlers.

Greenberg worked for many years as an activist to defend Israel, but experiences began to change her convictions. During a relief mission in Greece, she forged friendly relations with refugees of Palestinian origins, developed deep relationships with Palestinians through academic programs, and established close relationships with Palestinian Americans during periods of study and campaigns. Electoral relations, and those relations had a significant impact on changing the ideas on which they grew up.

In her article about severing its relationship with AIPAC, Lilly stated that she realized that the organization, through its unconditional support for the Israeli government, was supporting violence, which was contrary to its values, and so she joined to work with other groups.

Greenberg also worked with non-Zionist organizations, such as the "If Not Now" organization, which opposes the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
