Investigative reports show that...

Editor's note: ...Israel is funding targeted advertising in Britain to discredit Doctors Without Borders (MSF), accusing the medical charity of "grave misconduct" as part of a broader effort to restrict humanitarian work in Gaza and the West Bank. Critics argue this propaganda push aligns with an uncompromising strategy that prioritizes the removal of Palestinians from these territories, by pressure, delegitimization of witnesses, and the dismantling of life‑saving services, to clear the ground for what is Pax Judaica. The campaign underscores how information warfare and institutional pressure are being used to shape outcomes on the ground, regardless of humanitarian consequences. It appears now that Trump and Israel's "Board of Peace" replaces the UN for Pax Judaica.

The Middle East is at a tipping point as the U.S. fuels crisis across the region

Long-standing crises in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Sudan, Iraq, and Iran are deepening as the U.S. imprint on the Middle East shows no signs of weakening.

By Mitchell Plitnick | January 24, 2026

A lot of eyes were focused on the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, but while the world was riveted on Switzerland, scant attention was being paid to the Middle East where escalating tensions threaten to reach a boiling point.

In Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Sudan, Iraq, and Iran, long-standing crises have expanded and become more entangled with each other, and for all of Trump's pretensions of isolationism or restricting American activity to the Western Hemisphere, the U.S. remains deeply entangled in the Middle East, always to the detriment of the people in the region.

With so many hot spots in the region, so much American clumsiness, and Israeli aggression aggravating an already tense situation, it is impossible to predict where the greatest rupture might be located. But it is worth looking at several particularly sensitive areas.

Palestine

Trump presided over the inauguration of the Orwellian-named "Board of Peace" in Davos. The charter of the Board makes no mention of Gaza, Palestine, or even Israel. Indeed, it has become clear that Gaza was merely a pretext for Trump to get the UN Security Council to endorse the Board, giving it some small, but unearned, legitimacy.

The Board, which is currently filled entirely with far-right and autocratic countries, is intended to challenge the United Nations as a semi-governing international body, and in Gaza, it is the so-called "Executive Board" that is intended to oversee the subjugation of the Palestinians and the theft of Gaza.

One of the Executive Board members—Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner—presented his plan for Gaza at Davos. It envisions a glittering playground for the wealthy, one that Palestinians would find unrecognizable. The vision does not include any specific plan for reducing the Palestinian population of Gaza, but it is hard to envision Palestinians being more than, at best, a servant class in their own land under this plan. [Editor's note: Israel is located in the center of trade throughout the entire region and is why Kushner's daughter Arabella sang a song in Chinese to Grandpa Xi and Grandma Jeng.]

While that vision remains very much a vision at the moment, Israel still maintains readiness for a renewed military operation in Gaza. The attack is intended to expand Israel's zone of control in the Strip and is scheduled for March, pending American approval.

Neither Israel nor the Trump administration has shown a willingness to negotiate with Hamas and other Palestinian factions in Gaza regarding the decommissioning of weaponry in Gaza, something Hamas has indicated they are willing to discuss, though complete disarmament is a non-starter for them.

The lack of motion on this issue will give Israel all the pretext it needs to launch a new wave of genocidal violence. It seems this is the direction we are heading in.

In the West Bank, with little attention in the West, Israel has launched its biggest assault on Hebron since the Second Intifada. The attack seems to have numerous purposes:
Combining these religious provocations with a large-scale attack in a fraught city, along with the ongoing killing in Gaza, gives a strong impression that Israel is trying to provoke a Palestinian response and generate an excuse for a massive increase in violence.
The obvious goal is to tighten the occupation in a key West Bank city. But there is more here. Israel is ratcheting up its rhetoric (though not its actions) against the settlers' random violence. This is a reaction to the U.S., and it is geared not toward diminishing the violence against Palestinians but making that violence more "official" by transferring more of it from the settlers to the security forces.

Simultaneous developments indicate a strong ideological component to this attack as well. Israel has barred the top two Palestinian administrators at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron from entering or praying at the Mosque for fifteen days. The mosque shares a compound with the Tomb of the Patriarchs, one of Judaism's most revered sites in the region, and a key site for Jewish nationalism.
