As insecurity continues to disrupt #Gulf energy supplies, this article examines how the “no-war, no-peace” status quo is strengthening US energy dominance and quietly reshaping the global energy order.

As we mark six months since the start of the US–Israeli war on Iran, I reflect on the official statements made by Iran’s leaders and warn that the latest round of US sanctions could backfire, both regionally and internationally.

We often judge #mediation by whether it produces an agreement. That's a mistake. The real test begins afterwards; without credible guarantees for implementation agreements risk becoming temporary pauses.

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله.
رحم الله الشيخ حمد رحمةً واسعة، وأسكنه فسيح جناته، وجزاه خير الجزاء على ما قدمه لدولة قطر وللأمتين العربية والإسلامية من عطاء وإسهامات.
نسأل الله أن يتغمده بواسع رحمته، وأن يلهم أهله وذويه ومحبيه جميل الصبر والسلوان.

گفت‌و‌گو با سلطان برکات، استاد سیاست‌گذاری عمومی در دانشگاه حمد بن خلیفه قطر:

[Report News Agency @reportaznews]

Strategies for addressing housing issues in post-conflict and crisis zones cannot be universal, as the effectiveness of reconstruction processes is directly determined by the political environment, the nature of the conflict, and the characteristics of a particular society, Sultan Barakat, Professor of Public Policy at Hamad Bin Khalifa University and Professor at University of York, said during the panel discussion "Housing as the Foundation of Crisis Recovery and Reconstruction" held within the framework of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum 13 in Baku, according to Report.

"Methods for resolving housing issues in conflict zones must be adapted as much as possible to specific conditions," Barakat stated.

He explained that in countries and regions where a political agreement has been reached and a government with a clear development plan is functioning, the process of restoring housing stock becomes more manageable and largely comes down to defining strategies, financing mechanisms, and technical solutions.

"At the same time, in situations where conflict remains unresolved or is driven by an agenda of ethnic cleansing, this issue becomes extremely sensitive for all parties involved. We must stop discussing housing in generalized global terms - each case requires a separate approach," the expert emphasized.

Very pleased to welcome my friend Pekka Haavisto, #Finland’s former Foreign Minister (2019–2023), to @HBKU as he embarks on his new critical role as the #UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy for #Sudan. He brings extraordinary experience and wisdom to this vital role.

An ex-US official suggests Washington should withdraw from the Gulf and let regional states 'handle Iran' themselves, arguing US taxpayers shouldn’t fund their security.

But Professor Sultan Barakat counters that the American presence is actually driven by defending Israel.

A report by the UN and EU estimates it will take $71bn to rebuild Gaza.

So, how will Gaza be rebuilt, and who will pay?
