The state's confrontation with “the Party”… a stock exchange that shifts depending on the regional scene

Nidaa Al Watan: Justice Minister Adel Nassar confirms that he will raise again the issue of referring the Dhahr al-Baydar explosives case to the Judicial Council, at a Cabinet session in two weeks.

A Reading by Novelist Omar Saeed of Painter Shawki Dalal’s “The Room of the Utopian Huweik”

Nidaa Al Watan: Color was never just for painting. Colors have always been a means of expanding geography and time.

In this work, the light shifts into color across the walls…

Brazil and Europe: The right and the left in a battle that goes beyond the ballot box

Nidaa Al Watan: Elections in contemporary democracies are no longer merely a competition between economic and social platforms, and their results alone are not enough to determine the direction society is taking.

The status quo policies are more dangerous than war

Nidaa Al Watan: The challenge remains, even if the truck carrying explosives had not been discovered in Dahr al-Baidar, and there had been no proposal before the Council of Ministers to refer the threat to national security to the Judicial Council. It has become greater and more dangerous after "Hezbollah" declared that the explosives belonged to it, demanding their return, and all that was missing was a call to award medals…

From the enemy’s media: Will the election results put the “State of Israel” back on the right track?

Al Liwaa: • Today, the citizens of Israel will determine what kind of state we will live in over the coming years: Will the government of those evading military service remain in power? Will the policy of containment, the loss of the state’s ability to assert its authority, and the high cost of living continue? Or will we form a government that puts citizens and working people at…

When Corruption Becomes Prestige and the State Becomes Spoils

Al Liwaa: The most dangerous thing about corruption is not that it spreads among those in power and influence, but that it loses its ability to provoke condemnation; that money becomes a source of respect regardless of its origin, and that an official’s success is measured by the wealth he has amassed and the connections he has built, not by the public service he has provided. At that point, the crisis is no longer confined to…
