Controversy Mounts Over Israel's Gaza Strategy and Regional Reactions

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has expressed a desire for 'Arab forces' to take control of Gaza after Hamas's defeat, but it remains unclear if Arab countries are willing to accept this role. The Israeli cabinet has approved plans for the military to seize Gaza City, excluding the Palestinian Authority from governance, complicating prospects for regional stabilization and political solutions. Arab governments have shown some willingness to support stabilization efforts, but their preference is for Gaza to be handed over to the Palestinian Authority and for a pathway to Palestinian statehood, which Netanyahu's government opposes.

Sudan's Ethnic Purge: A Cycle of Violence and Genocide

Arab forces, led by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), have launched a second wave of attacks targeting the ethnic-African Masalit tribe in the Sudanese city of El Geneina. Survivors report that the RSF overpowered a Sudanese army base in the district of Ardamata, using drones to attack soldiers. The RSF and allied Arab militias then intensified their attacks on civilians in a camp for internally displaced people and surrounding neighborhoods, with reports of mass killings, rape, looting, and burning of homes. The European Union estimates that over 1,000 Masalit people were killed in Ardamata, part of a wider ethnic cleansing campaign by the RSF to eradicate the non-Arab Masalit community from West Darfur.
