Will Arabs turn out for Gaza?
Israel’s assassination of senior Hamas military commander Ahmad Jabari and launching of a major air campaign against Gaza on Wednesday poses the first serious test of the effect of the Arab uprisings on Israel. Egyptian President Mohammed el-Morsi declared that "Egypt today is different from yesterday, and Arabs today are different from yesterday." Israel is gambling that he’s wrong, that the Ara
Islamists in a Changing Middle East
The election of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed el-Morsi as President of Egypt, following the electoral victory of Tunisia’s Ennahda Party, has sharpened the world’s focus on the role of Islamist movements in a rapidly changing Middle East. The turn from an "Arab Spring" to an "Islamist Summer (and/or Winter)", as pessimists warn gloomily that the overthrowing of dictators is only empowering a n
Activists in Arab World Vie to Define Islamic State (Published 2011)
Ali Sallabi, left, a Libyan, and Abdel Moneim Abou el-Fotouh, an Egyptian, say their states should blend Islam and modernity.Credit...Left, Moises Saman for The New York Times; right, Khaled Desouki/A.F.P. — Getty Images CAIRO — By force of this year’s Arab revolts and revolutions, activists marching under the banner of Islam are on the verge of a reckoning decades in the making: the prospect of a
Reflections on the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt
This is above all a moment of new possibilities in the Arab world, and indeed in the entire Middle East. We have not witnessed such a turning point for a very long time. Suddenly, once insuperable obstacles seem surmountable. Despotic regimes that have been entrenched across the Arab world for two full generations are suddenly vulnerable. Two of the most formidable among them — in Tunis and Cairo
From Tahrir Square to Red Square | The National Interest
From Tahrir Square to Red Square What can the color revolutions tell us about the Arab uprisings? The official Russian response to recent popular demonstrations against governments in the Middle East has been remarkably circumspect. Statements by President Medvedev, Foreign Minister Lavrov, and Foreign Ministry spokesman Lukashevich on events in Egypt in particular have all emphasized the need for
Uncharted Ground After End of Egypt’s Regime (Published 2011)
CAIRO � One revolution ended Friday. Another may soon begin. In a moment that may prove as decisive to the Middle East as the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, 18 days of protest hurtled Egypt once again to the forefront of politics in the Middle East. In the uprising’s ambition, young protesters, savvy with technology and more organized than their rulers, began to rewrite the formula that has underpinned an
Al-Jazeera's coverage of Egypt protests may hasten revolution in world news
Donald Rumsfeld demonised it and George Bush allegedly said he wanted to bomb it. No one was quite sure whether the then White House incumbent was joking or not, but its offices have been hit by US forces. Twice. Now something rather strange has begun to happen to the Arabic language news broadcaster al-Jazeera and the English language channel it launched nearly five years ago; American viewers ha
Mubarak Defies a Humiliated America, Emulating Netanyahu
It should be remembered that Egypt’s elite of multi-millionaires has benefited enormously from its set of corrupt bargains with the US and Israel and from the maintenance of a martial law regime that deflects labor demands and pesky human rights critiques. It is no wonder that to defend his billions and those of his cronies, Hosni Mubarak was perfectly willing to order thousands of his security th
Cairo 2011 is not Tehran of 1979
From London to Washington, and as far as Tehran, the question is being asked: Will Egypt of 2011 become the Iran of 1979? Some leading figures in Tehran, as well as Iranian state-run media, are trying to cast Egypt as another country caught up, as is Lebanon, in the region’s tilt toward the Islamist orbit. "I herewith proclaim to those (Western leaders) who still do not want to see the realities
