Abbas’ Failed Government, Living on Borrowed Time

Mahmoud Abbas is entering his 14th year as leader of the Palestinian Authority.

Today, after alienating the West and

Are the Saudis Trading ‘Palestine’ for Israel?

Running Where the Prophets Walked

On marathon day, everything in Jerusalem comes to a halt. Everything except 30,000 runners, that is.

UN-funding UNWRA
