Julian Brazier: Helping Lebanon to succeed is in our interests

That country needs assistance in making the transition to responsible, accountable democracy after a generation of corrupt leadership.

By Julian Brazier | 12 September 2020 | 20 comments

Tom Tugendhat: It’s time for the Government to stand with its allies – and stand up to Iran

To do so would mean more than staying in step with Trump. For no US administration could accept being bound into a UN system without a veto.

By Tom Tugendhat MP | 26 August 2020 | 32 comments

Iain Dale: In the aftermath of the Beirut disaster, my memory of Lebanon.

It really was a trip that will be forever etched into my mind. I was utterly stupid and irresponsible to go. But I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

By Iain Dale | 7 August 2020 | 31 comments

Rashad Ali: In Syria, Iraq and, yes, Iran, there is rejoicing at the death of Solemani – terrorist and war criminal

The death toll that can be laid at his feet is far greater than that attributable to ISIS and Al Qaeda.

By Rashad Ali | 3 January 2020 | 31 comments

Garvan Walshe: You can’t eat the hashd al-sha’bi or fill up your car with Hezbollah. Iran’s theocrats hunker down as protests mount.

The seriousness of the uprising can be judged by the severity of the crackdown. Over a hundred people are dead, and the internet has been shut down.

By Garvan Walshe | 21 November 2019 | 17 comments

John Jenkins: Too many excuses are made for Iran – especially by the EU. We must get real, stand with America, and take decisive action.

I’m glad to see we’ve now had the guts to stop a tanker we believe is smuggling Iranian oil in defiance of sanctions on Syria.

By Sir John Jenkins | 12 July 2019 | 30 comments

Garvan Walshe: Assailed by police, polls and a triumvirate of ex-generals, can Netanyahu hold on to power?

The odds are stacking ever higher against the man who has dominated his country’s politics for years.

By Garvan Walshe | 28 February 2019 | 4 comments

Natasha Hausdorff: The proscription of Hezbollah is welcome – though overdue

It will be a significant step forward in keeping this heinous organisation from inciting hatred on our streets.

By Natasha Hausdorff | 25 February 2019 | 22 comments

Marc Morrison: It’s time to engage with Lebanon not just militarily, but economically – and to appoint a trade ambassador

The country’s Prime Minister, Speaker and President, all stressed how much they would welcome working with the UK to encourage investment.

By Marc Morrison | 25 October 2018 | 8 comments

Garvan Walshe: Why Khashoggi’s murder is Erdogan’s chance to strike

The killing gives Turkey’s autocrat the opportunity to make common cause with the Saudi prince’s enemies.

By Garvan Walshe | 25 October 2018 | 17 comments

Theo Clarke: British aid is giving hope and purpose to Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan

We are not just helping them – we are empowering them to help themselves. That transforms individual lives and helps the region to stabilise.

By Theo Clarke | 23 January 2018 | 41 comments

James Watt: For all the grim headlines, peace in the Middle East really is achievable

It won’t be easy but regional powers can make it happen if they make the right choices.

By James Watt | 12 December 2017 | 17 comments

Bob Blackman: Ministers must not yield to Iran’s blackmail in their struggle to get Nazanin back home

Her release will only happen without a far higher cost if we are to penalise the regime for its unacceptable actions and make them costly instead of profitable.

By Bob Blackman MP | 24 November 2017 | 24 comments

Garvan Walshe: In Lebanon, Saudi Arabia plays with fire. And there is no American adult to provide supervision.

The Saudi crown prince is in a hurry on every front – if anyone is advising him to take care, then he is certainly not listening to them.

By Garvan Walshe | 16 November 2017 | 15 comments

Nadhim Zahawi: No one will win if the cold war between Iran and Saudi Arabia turns hot

The goals of the young Crown Prince are broadly in line with ours. But we should be urging calm thinking and cool heads.

By Nadhim Zahawi MP | 13 November 2017 | 21 comments
