Mohammad El Ashab - It is not by ignoring them that problems can be solved. The African Union Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh represented a golden opportunity for a fresh start in the regional organization's approach to the Western Sahara issue. It is no longer acceptable, at least legally and politically, to allow such a paradox to continue to impede the role of the African Union in dealing with the crisis taking place north of the continent.
Jihad el-Khazen - The exchange of detainees and dead bodies between Hezbollah and Israel is the victory we all want for the Lebanese Resistance. When opposing Israel, it rallies all the Lebanese, but with its armed men in the streets of Beirut, it loses the support of half the Lebanese or more, and undermines both itself and Lebanon.
Zuheir Kseibati - It had never occurred to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that Iraqi President Jalal Talabani would walk the path of normalization with Israel when he encouraged Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak to shake hands with him at the Socialist International Congress.
Hassan Haidar - Syria will surely return to the same problem, as its European interlocutors will demand the same thing the Arabs advised: to steer away from Iran without tergiversation, and perhaps with more accurate accountability.
Jihad El Khazen - What are the Arabs doing in Iraq? Perhaps the right question is: what are the Arabs not doing in Iraq? Personally, I do not see them doing anything.
Ghassan Charbel - The world wakes up to stunning news; Israeli planes bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. Tehran cannot swallow such an aggressive blow; it has no other choice but implementing the flood of threats it had been making.
