OIC: Challenges and Opportunities
The Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) was established in response to the 1969 arson attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the aim of promoting cooperation among Muslim states. Despite its significant achievements, such as supporting the Palestinian cause and gaining observer status for the PLO at the UN, the OIC faces numerous challenges. These include political diversity among member states, sectarian conflicts, and insufficient budget. The OIC's role in resolving conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, remains crucial, but its effectiveness is hindered by internal divisions and structural issues.

Balancing Defence and Neutrality: Ireland’s Foreign Policy and the Middle East
Ireland's foreign policy, shaped by its history of colonialism and neutrality, positions it as a vocal critic of Israeli actions towards Palestinians while maintaining a complex relationship with Israel. The country's involvement in international peacekeeping and its nuanced stance within the EU highlight its unique geopolitical role. Internal political debates, particularly within the coalition government, reflect differing views on defense and foreign policy. Sinn Féin's rising influence and the broader European context further complicate Ireland's position on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Just Below the Surface: Israel, the Arab Gulf States and the Limits of Co-operation
The article discusses the evolving clandestine relationships between Israel and several Gulf states, driven by mutual concerns over Iran's regional influence and a shared interest in countering Islamist groups. Despite the lack of formal diplomatic relations, evidence suggests increasing cooperation in intelligence, military, and economic spheres. The rapprochement has been facilitated by shared antipathy towards former US President Obama's Middle East policies and has been further encouraged by President Trump's administration. However, the Palestinian issue remains a significant barrier to open normalization, with Arab states still formally committed to the Arab peace initiative and public sentiment against abandoning the Palestinian cause. The article also touches on the implications of the Khashoggi murder for Saudi-Israeli relations and the broader geopolitical dynamics in the region, including the impact of US foreign policy decisions.

Palestinians in West Bank Caves Face Demolitions and Land Grabs
Palestinians in Area C of the West Bank, under Israeli control, are resorting to living in caves due to home demolitions and restrictions on building permits. The governor of Hebron has officially refurbished some caves for habitation. Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem reports that since 2006, nearly 1,500 Palestinian homes have been demolished, displacing over 6,500 people. Palestinians, like Arafat and Yousef, live in caves to protect their land from being seized by settlers. The article details the daily struggles of cave residents, including land and property seizures by the Israeli military, and the support provided by various organisations. Despite the hardships and threats of land grabs, Palestinians like Yousef are determined to remain on their land.

In contact with Houthis, Norway explains absence from US-led warning
Norway, emphasizing its commitment to deescalating conflict and maintaining freedom of navigation, explained its absence from a US-led statement condemning Houthi naval attacks in the Red Sea. Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide highlighted the country's diplomatic efforts and historical role as a neutral negotiator. Norway's involvement in international maritime security operations and its contact with the Houthis aim to prevent regional escalation, particularly in Gaza. The US statement, supported by multiple countries, warned the Houthis of consequences for continued attacks. Norway's approach reflects its longstanding policy of engaging with proscribed groups to facilitate peace.

Newt Gingrich condemned for calling Palestinians 'terrorists'
Newt Gingrich faced condemnation from Palestinian officials for describing Palestinians as an 'invented' people and 'terrorists.' His comments, made during a Republican debate and an interview with the Jewish Channel, were criticized as baseless and inflammatory. Palestinian leaders, including Salam Fayyad and Saeb Erekat, urged Gingrich to apologize, labeling his remarks as racist and incitement to terror. The controversy highlighted a growing extremism within the Republican party and raised concerns about the impact on the US's credibility and the Middle East peace process. Israeli officials, including Binyamin Netanyahu, distanced themselves from Gingrich's statements, emphasizing the importance of recognizing Palestinian aspirations for self-governance.

Many Palestinian families are reunited for Easter
850 permits were granted to Christians in Gaza by Israeli authorities to travel to East Jerusalem and the West Bank for Easter, marking the first time in over eight years that such a large number of young men received permits. Despite this, many families could not travel due to financial constraints or incomplete family permits. The Catholic humanitarian organization Caritas Jerusalem and other figures emphasized the right to freedom of movement. The event allowed Gazans to attend medical appointments and reunite with family members. The Palestine Liberation Organisation highlighted the integral role of Christians in Palestine and expressed hope for future celebrations in Jerusalem.

The requirements of intra-Palestinian dialogue
Fatah and Hamas have failed to resolve their long-standing divisions, which continue to harm the Palestinian cause. The lack of genuine will to reconcile, internal power struggles, and external influences, particularly from Iran, exacerbate the situation. The article outlines several requirements for successful intra-Palestinian dialogue, including rebuilding the PLO on democratic bases, adopting conflict-resolution mechanisms, and holding new elections. Without these fundamental changes, reconciliation efforts are likely to continue failing.

US submits Security Council resolution seeking Gaza ceasefire linked to hostage release
The US has submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, contingent on the release of hostages, as announced by Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his Middle East tour. Blinken's discussions in the region, including with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, have focused on establishing a ceasefire and addressing the humanitarian crisis. The draft resolution emphasizes the need for humanitarian aid and the protection of civilians. Arab nations have also presented a draft resolution, and Russia has expressed dissatisfaction with the US draft's language. Blinken has warned against an Israeli ground assault on Rafah and discussed post-conflict governance and security for Gaza. The Palestinian Authority may play a role in administering Gaza post-conflict, despite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's opposition. Gazans have expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of diplomacy in improving their situation.

The article reflects on France's historical diplomatic stance in the region, highlighting the contributions of leaders like Charles de Gaulle, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, François Mitterrand, and Jacques Chirac. Dominique de Villepin's current advocacy for a nuanced approach and global inclusivity is seen as a path towards lasting peace.

India and Israel: A wrong alliance?
The article discusses the complex relationship between India and Israel, highlighting the historical context of India's initial opposition to Israel's statehood and its pro-Arab foreign policy post-independence. Despite this, India and Israel have developed a strong defence and intelligence relationship, which began informally before the official establishment of diplomatic ties in 1992. The article outlines various instances where Israel supported India militarily, including during the 1962 India-China war and the Kargil conflict. It also touches upon India's consistent support for the Palestinian cause, while simultaneously growing closer to Israel, particularly in defence, agriculture, and technology. The relationship has been further cemented by shared concerns over terrorism and nuclear proliferation. The article also examines the impact of India's evolving relations with the US and the Arab world on its ties with Israel. The author, Ramananda Sengupta, suggests that India's engagement with Israel is driven by 'enlightened self-interest' and does not necessarily compromise its stance on Palestine or relations with Arab nations.

'We want to return': Palestinian refugees in Lebanon dismiss Trump's plan
Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, including those in the Bourj al-Barajneh camp, reject the US-proposed plan for the Israel-Palestine conflict, which they believe undermines their right to return to their homeland. The plan, unveiled by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, suggests land swaps and resettlement options that fall short of Palestinian demands. Lebanese officials and Palestinian representatives uniformly oppose the plan, emphasizing the right of return and criticizing the proposal for compensation in lieu of this right. The plan has sparked protests and strong statements from various Lebanese political factions and Palestinian leaders.
