The strengthening of economic ties highlights pragmatic considerations that go beyond political rhetoric and challenge simplistic binaries.

History repeats itself. Palestinian airplane hijackings and attacks on Israeli civilians in Israel as well as on Israeli and Jewish targets abroad pockmarked the 1970s and 1980s. The violence put the Palestinian issue on the world agenda.

On December 24, 2024, NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set for a historic journey, edging closer to the Sun than any other man-made object before.

Dr. Nour Raouafi, who leads the project, told BBC that this mission is akin to virtually touching a star, highlighting its extraordinary significance.
