Looking forward, @chouhoud.bsky.social calls to go beyond surface sympathy, urging a nuanced view of US public opinion. Jonathan Graubart & Mark Tessler in their respective pieces emphasize steering clear of past failed diplomacy, focusing on transforming Israeli & Palestinian institutions

In our Gaza symposium, @dbgreenwald.bsky.social, Noora Lori, & I turned to our colleagues to help us understand this fraught time. We asked : What is one prevalent misconception about the conflict, and how can political science effectively respond?

My piece in The Times

In the past decade, Sisi made Egyptians poorer, their state more economically fragile, their courts more compromised, their police more repressive & their country geopolitically weaker. Worse yet, he won’t acknowledge he’s done anything wrong

A doctor from the Palestinian health ministry described Gaza's largest hospital to me as “in the circle of death." Another doctor, trapped inside Dar al-Shifa hospital, said over 110 corpses are in the hospital grounds, with no way to retrieve them and people trying to flee coming under fire.
