The EU is prepared to draw on measures already at its disposal to defend the International Criminal Court should pressure tied to its Gaza-related warrants intensify further, while working to rally broader global backing for the institution, the bloc’s foreign policy chief told Arab News on Monday. “The ICC is under attack, that’s very clear,” Kaja Kallas said. “We’ve been very clear in our statements of support to the ICC. We have the tools in our toolbox when it gets really serious how to defe

Coverage of the new White House memorandum on combating cybercrime quickly reached the privateer label. CNN called the participants “cyber privateers,” invoking the image of government-sanctioned raiders working the high seas of cyberspace, hauling in digital booty. The reality is considerably less romantic. The administration has tried to create a private offensive cyber program using an exception buried in outdated legislation, and that has shaped how the program must be constructed. For this

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi says Iran-backed militias will be disarmed by June 30, 2027, under a phased plan to bring armed groups under state control. The plan would begin with a 90-day halt in militia attacks, during which U.S. forces would also refrain from attacking them, followed by the militias handing over their weapons. Some factions are pushing for until the end of 2027. The effort faces strong resistance and could depend on whether the U.S.-Iran war ends, while Washington is pr

Xi is expected to press Trump at this week’s Washington summit to halt U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, citing the 1982 U.S.-China joint communiqué. Beijing is also pushing Washington to stop deliveries of weapons Taiwan has already ordered. One source said Xi may argue that “Taiwan is the provocateur and the sole source of instability in U.S.-China relations.” The U.S. said in 1982 that it intended to gradually reduce arms sales, but Ronald Reagan separately made that commitment “conditioned absolu

Argentina's President Javier Milei: I quote passages from the Torah, particularly the Book of Shemot. For me, it is the most important story of liberation in humanity. It is the story of two brothers, Moses and Aaron, who faced Pharaoh — the equivalent of the U.S., Russia or China today. They succeeded in freeing their people.

Argentina's President Javier Milei: Today, I would say there are three blocs: the U.S., Russia and China. Those are the three blocs. With Europe, there is a big question mark. Given my alignment with the values that made the West grow, I decided to align myself with the U.S. and Israel. They perfectly represent the great values of the West.
Argentina's President Javier Milei: Those who say Trump is weakening the West are completely wrong. President Trump’s work is extraordinary. He must be one of the great personalities in human history in terms of the number of conflicts and wars he has resolved. He is not appreciated in Europe, because Europe is embarrassed by the truth that it is sinking.

There are lights everywhere. With socialist totalitarianism, it is always the same. Democratic socialists do things a little more slowly. That is the only difference.

Observers described the Sept. 18-20 parliamentary election as the "dirtiest" vote in Russia's modern history. In a country that has not held free and fair elections for nearly three decades, that might seem like a difficult result to achieve. All independent media were banned soon after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, ensuring a media landscape where no criticism of the authorities was allowed during elections. All genuine opposition parties were also banned from running. Even a mod

Iraqi PM Al-Zaidi to the New York Times: Bringing all weapons under state control is a necessity, not a choice. The process begins within 90 days, during which the armed factions will not attack and will not be attacked. Disarmament is to be complete by June 30, and any faction still operating after that deadline will be considered outside the law. He added that Iraq has lost 60% of its monthly oil revenues because of the war.

Junaid Hafeez and I both turned 40 years old this year. I cannot help but notice that the earlier years of his life bear some resemblance to mine. Like Junaid, I was awarded the Fulbright scholarship to spend a semester at a college in the US. Like Junaid, I lived in Rajanpur, Punjab, although briefly. And like Junaid, I dropped out of medical school to pursue a degree in social sciences. This is where the similarities end. At 27, I was high-spirited and eager to take on the world. At 27, he mus
