The U.S.-Israel alliance has long been one of the most enduring partnerships in modern geopolitics, built on shared democratic values, mutual security interests, and deep military and economic cooperation. Since the establishment of the Israeli state, successive U.S. administrations have provided unwavering diplomatic support and substantial military aid, while Israel has functioned as a pivotal strategic partner in the geopolitically volatile Middle East. Yet beneath this durable bond lies a growing tension between perceived strategic alignment…

The evolving geopolitical landscape in the Middle East has brought Iran’s military and diplomatic challenges into acute focus. Iran's recent experience, with its proxies largely cowed if not decimated by Israel, and finding itself in a direct confrontation with the U.S, would have been unimaginable pre-October 7th attacks, and certainly to an extent, even two weeks ago…

Given the current prospect of incidental regime change in Iran, we explore the landscape of Iranian dissidents and ask – what may come next? Ayatollah Khamenei has been the Supreme Leader of the Iranian regime since 1989. As a result of Israel’s ‘Operation Rising Lion’ which includes targeted elimination of the Iranian regime’s military leadership and nuclear infrastructure, the once-distant prospect of regime change could be only a matter of time away…..

In May 2025, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S.-Israeli initiative, commenced operations to distribute aid directly to Palestinians in Gaza. This move aimed to bypass Hamas-controlled distribution channels, with the goal of removing Hamas’ tools for governing Gaza…

The UK government has announced it was pausing free trade negotiations with Israel due to the “egregious” policies being pursued by the Israeli government in Gaza and the West Bank. The Foreign Secretary also introduced further sanctions on “individuals, illegal settler outposts and organisations supporting violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank” and summoned the Israeli ambassador to London, Tzipi Hotovely.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation or NATO is a political and military alliance, established on April 4th, 1949, by the North Atlantic / Washington Treaty. At the core of NATO's legal and strategic framework is Article 5, which enshrines the principle of collective defence by stipulating that an armed attack against one member shall be considered an attack against all. This commitment to mutual defence enhances the strategic value of NATO membership, particularly for states facing security threats from potentially aggressive neighbours…

From the calm of the Rose Garden at the White House this week, on April 2nd 2025, President Donald Trump sprung his two-tiered tariff system into action. Aimed at promoting the America first agenda by addressing perceived foreign trade imbalances, Executive Order 14257 has been nothing short of divisive. The principles of the policy, as launched, operates on two principals - a baseline tariff of 10% imposed on most countries, and reciprocal tariffs, calculated based on trade deficits with specific countries…

In the aftermath of October 7th, the UK has seen a rapid rise in anti-Zionism and antisemitism across western democracies, most notably among Gen-z. A Harvard Harris poll found that 67 percent of 18-24-year-olds "think that Jews as a class are oppressors and should be treated as oppressors”. The events across Europe, post October 7, illustrate that Holocaust education has largely failed Gen-z…

Growing up embedded into a strong Jewish community, just outside of London, I previously believed that antisemitism had largely been discredited due to increased awareness and enlightenment like other forms of abhorrent discrimination such as racism, homophobia and sexism.

The European Leadership Network (ELNET) UK and ELNET’s Forum of Strategic Dialogue (FSD) brought together senior members of parliament and experts from the UK and Israel.

Yesterday, I attended the main memorial in Park Hayarkon, Tel Aviv, held by the families of the Israeli hostages seized by Hamas on 7 October. I also visited the grounds of the Nova music festival where friends and families of the victims gathered to mourn and remember, all the more poignantly, that it was to the sound of rockets being fired overhead from Khan Yunis in Gaza, as they did so.

Nobody doubts our government’s sincere desire to see an end to the terrible conflict in Gaza. We all share it. Sadly, its decision this week to stop some arms sales to Israel won’t help achieve that goal. Nor will it help hasten the end of the torment of the hostages and their families, or the suffering of thousands of other innocent Israeli and Palestinians caught up in the war – a war which was triggered by Hamas’ butchery on 7 October.

In his four years as Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer has abandoned the noxious anti-Zionist worldview of his predecessor, explicitly rejecting the “Manichean view” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which animates the hard-left.

In the first in a series of deep-dive interviews on issues arising from the Israel-Hamas conflict we look at the story of campus antisemitism through the lens of Israeli Assistant Professor at Columbia, Shai Davidai.

The highly anticipated 4th Europe-Middle East Forum (EMEF) took place for the first time in Berlin, Germany in the first week of June.

Lt Col Jonathan Conricus is the former international spokesperson for the IDF and now Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

The former Israeli ambassador to France last night urged a capacity auditorium at the north London community hub JW3 not to forget the hostages.

This women-only delegation to Israel brought 20 influential politicians, journalists, activists and community leaders, from all over Europe, to learn first-hand about the horrors of the sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on and after October 7; and to create an international platform for cooperation in providing security for women and girls regardless of their nationality, religion, or age.
