I hope there is a quick containment & de-escalation of the war in Israel & Gaza. Otherwise, I fear the Middle East is on the precipice of a devastating regional war. All the posturing by international & regional political leaders sounds like the Guns of August. I pray I am Wrong.
there is a ceasefire. In each scenario at least one side comes out looking weak & thus the incentive to seek to escalate regardless of the consequences. A political track is the best option in the form of a big idea. I’ll come back to this soon. 2/2
Three scenarios for the ongoing war in Israel & Palestine: (1) Full ground operation by Israel & a regional war. (2) Partial ground invasion into Northern Gaza, limited regional escalation & a ceasefire. (3) There’s no ground invasion, airstrikes continues but eventually…1/2

The tragic death of Sergeant Baptiste Gauchot saddened us. I offer my deepest condolences to his family, friend, comrades in arms as well as our diplomatic friends at the Consulate General of #France in #Erbil as they mourn this loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Pleased to have an interesting discussion with @gorranddr on the political situation in #Iraq, #KRI and especially in #Sulaimamiya. Exchanged on current challenges for the stability and prosperity of the region.
I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to President @EmmanuelMacron on his re-election. Bilateral relations between Kurdistan Region of Iraq & our peoples are historic, strategic & will endure into future. France is a friend we can always depend on. @O_Decottignies
We regret the court decision in #Erbil against 5 journalists and activists. So soon after #WorldPressFreedomDay, the decision is a worrying sign for freedom of the press and opinion in the Region of Kurdistan‑Iraq.
Wir bedauern das Gerichtsurteil in #Erbil gegen 5 Journalisten und Aktivisten. Kurz nach dem internationalen Tag der #Pressefreiheit ist dies ein besorgniserregendes Signal für die Presse- und Meinungsfreiheit in der Region Kurdistan-Irak.
الأخوّة أقوى من قتل الإخوة، الرجاء أقوى من المَوت، السلام أقوى من الحرب. ولا يمكن أن تُخنق هذه القناعة في وسط الدماء التي تَسبب في إراقتها ��ؤلاء الذين يشوهون اسم الله ويسيرون في طرق الدمار.
Thank you Kak Omar Sayd Ali for sharing your views on #Kurdish unity, Erbil-Baghdad relations, and the upcoming federal election in #Iraq.
