#Afghanistan ’s most valuable resource -the potential of its bright minds- is being threatened by yet another year of #Taliban 's inability to reintegrate #girls beyond 6th grade back into the state #education system. Read my views @AJEnglish @HBKU @PolicyCollege @EAA_Foundation

In this Op-Ed on #Afghanistan , I argue that the recent change in the #Taliban 's premiership, coupled with small but important steps of incremental change, must be seized upon for direct #dialogue . We must not wait for a drastic reversal of domestic policy. People need help now!

Bombing #Gaza while talking peace with #UAE is exactly what @netanyahu did 2 years ago when visiting #Oman . #Israel 's message is clear: #Arabs must accept #normalization at the expense of the #Palestinians . My @AJEnglish article from 2018 still applies

Normalising relations with Israel will not benefit Gulf states

Normalisation at the expense of the Palestinians would only embolden Israel’s government and anger the Arab street.
