โ€žSpurred by the Gaza war, Israel ramped up #repression of Palestinians and #settlementexpansion in the West Bank, along with #economicstrictures. In this Q&A, #CrisisGroup expert Max Rodenbeck explains the harm these measures have caused and how outside powers can help stop them.โ€œ

"Ukraineโ€™s Most Plausible Security Guarantee Will Not Come from the U.S."

"""
Even if the presidentโ€™s mind were not made up (it is), this U.S. posture is consistent with longstanding policy and has a bipartisan pedigree. President Joe Biden also showed no interest in offering Ukraine a security guarantee. His team machinated behind the scenes to keep such conversations from moving too far at NATO convenings. (In its final months, the Biden administration floated a proposal to extend a hollow โ€œinvitationโ€ to Ukraine to join the alliance at an unspecified future date, with the idea that doing so would allow Zelenskyy to signal the Ukrainian public that he had secured their future, while allowing NATO to avoid an actual commitment.)
[...]
[There is nothing to gain from] any continued efforts to extract U.S. guarantees in any form. Not only would this approach fail, but it would also feed a corrosive right-wing โ€œMAGAโ€ narrative that Washingtonโ€™s partners are trying to drag the U.S. into World War III.

Update on the status in Haiti from
Renata Segura of #crisisgroup:

"CARICOM had requested Haitian political forces to send a proposal for creating a transitional government. They received 7 instead.

The meeting in Jamaica ended with white smoke of sorts: [the current president] oledged to resign, and a 7 member presidential council was created with representation from multiples parties (including Henry's). The council will chose a new prime minister.

This is a huge deal, as negotiations to form a new gvt has stalled for years. However, the immediate emergency is the security situation. Gang leader Chรฉrizier said yesterday (before CARICOM's announcement) that Vin Ansanm would NOT recognise a new gvt resulting from [the meeting in] Jamaica.

The question is how to respond now to the security crisis. The Mission led by Kenya is preparing to deploy, but the biggest ? is if it will be able to arrive fast enough to prevent gangs from taking control of the entire capital."

โ€žAlmost three months into the war in Sudan [โ€ฆ] the fighting shows no sign of slowing. Khartoum remains the epicentre, but Sudanโ€™s periphery, especially the West Darfur region, has seen a dramatic resurgence in intercommunal violence.โ€œ
