Why did Israel strike Doha?

As leaders arrive in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, key Palestinian voices are missing. The US has refused visas for 80 Palestinian officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas. If the UN cannot guarantee open access, what does that signal about its neutrality and about Palestine’s path to recognition?

Can the UN stand up to Donald Trump on Palestine?

In Haiti’s capital, doctors work under fire as armed groups close in. With most hospitals shut, Tabarre is one of the last still open. Patients bleed, burn, and beg for care while doctors risk all to treat them. Can Haiti’s wounded – and those who heal them – find a way to survive?

After the earthquake: what lies ahead for Afghanistan?

Hezbollah is under pressure to lay down its arms, as part of a US-backed plan. Lebanon’s government has asked the army to draft a proposal by the end of the year. Facing continued Israeli strikes and the aftermath of the assassination of much of its leadership, including Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah refuses to disarm, calling the effort a trap. With no trust and no guarantees, where will Lebanon go from here?
