"On both Israel and Iran, the American people have spoken: They want Congress to reassert its critical constitutional role and end the fighting. Now legislators must act," says @OmarSShakir.

"Trump could just unilaterally remove US forces from the region…The American people didn't vote last week because they were really excited about punishing Iran more. They voted for Democrats because they wanted to bring down energy prices. They wanted to end this illegal war,” DAWN fellow @harrison_j_mann told CNN.

"This would enable the Israel lobby to protect the money the US sends to Israel each year from the collapse in public support"

I told @lfrayer for @npratc @NPR on the effort to move US tax $ for Israel from "aid" to the Pentagon

Tunisians have protested for much of the year against President Kais Saied's failing one-man rule, with the largest occurring in mid-October. Growing disillusionment offers a chance to revive democracy in Tunisia, says @radwan_masmoudi.

For children who are the only survivors of Israeli strikes in Gaza, identifying and reuniting them with relatives can take years. Even small details can help them regain their identity, writes Gaza-based journalist Farah Ehab Abu Samra. https://t.co/WcH5r3VPjB

“Trump can’t bomb his way out of the mess he created in Iran. The Pentagon thinks an ‘intensive’ multi-day attack would force Iran to make new concessions. But this is the same folly that dragged the US into a disastrous war."

Israel is manipulating AI platforms into telling its preferred history of Palestine. That effort represents a historical trend, in which lingering imperial hierarchies distort information to their benefit, writes Nour Balousha.

3/ The new report comes as the UAE’s candidate for UN Secretary-General, Lana Nusseibeh, is already facing intense scrutiny for her role in the UAE’s efforts to conceal its support for the RSF, which includes the provision of weapons, drones, and mercenaries.

As political upheaval roils the West, far-right movements use terminology like "Third Worldism" to discredit political opponents. That approach is rooted not in a fear of Islam, but of their own failing politics, writes @BayoumiMoustafa.

How will Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's recent decision to not seek another term in 2030 impact democratic hopes in Egypt?

For @MagedMandour, an inadvertent democratic opening could appear, but it will take a massive effort to succeed.

What happens when an unaccompanied child in Gaza is found amid the rubble? For too many, a long path toward identification amid Israel's genocide has lasting implications and few answers, writes Gaza-based journalist Farah Ehab Abu Samra.

Yemen's civil war is often misunderstood, largely due to the difficult media environment surrounding it.

As Non-Resident @DAWNmenaorg Fellow @Afrahnasser notes, those misperceptions prolong the war.

Trump's vow to cut US aid to Israel is an unprecedented breakthrough—paved by decades of Palestine organizing. But US arms can't end with a phone call—Congress should act to end all arms transfers & other forms of complicity in Israel's genocide & apartheid. New from @DAWNmenaorg
