وفي وقت تنأى #حماس بنفسها عن إيران بدافع الضرورة والضعف، ينبغي #للولايات_المتحدة أن تستغل هذا التحول لدعم #المصالح_الأمريكية في #غزة والمنطقة الأوسع، لا أن تكافئ الحركة بمنحها فرصاً لا تستحقها. washingtoninstitute.org/ar/policy-anal…

The economic, political and diplomatic fallout of the Iran war is bending Jordan in multiple directions, but Washington can take several steps to help mitigate the wartime damage suffered by the kingdom, write @GhAlOmari and @davidschenker1. washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

تؤدي التداعيات الاقتصادية والسياسية والدبلوماسية #للأزمة_الإيرانية إلى الضغط على #المملكة من اتجاهات متعددة، لكن بإمكان واشنطن أن تفعل الكثير لتخفيف هذه الضغوط الداخلية، وتجنب الاحتكاكات الثنائية، ومعالجة الخلاف المتصاعد بين #عمان_وإسرائيل. washingtoninstitute.org/ar/policy-anal…

In contrast, #Jordan has been in lock step with its #Gulf partners, perhaps because it too was targeted by #Iran. As my @WashInstitute colleagues @davidschenker1 & @GhAlOmari argue, the biggest challenge for USG here are the ever-worsening ties between #Amman and #Jerusalem. washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

Hamas’s connection to Tehran has been weakened, offering the U.S. an opportunity to push Qatar and Turkey to exert pressure on the terror group, writes @GhAlOmari. Washington should: 🔹Reiterate that U.S. political engagement with Hamas will happen only once it accepts the Quartet principles 🔹Refrain from directly engaging with Hamas 🔹Engage with Qatar and Turkey to ensure they use their increased leverage with Hamas washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

“Hamas is distancing itself from Iran out of necessity and weakness. The United States should exploit this shift to support American interests in Gaza and the wider region,” writes former Palestinian peace negotiator @GhAlOmari. washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

With the Iran War, #Hamas Tilts Toward the Brotherhood ⁦@GhAlOmari⁩ ⁦@WashInstitute⁩ washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

As the war with Iran continues, here are three things that Iran expert @hdagres is watching ⬇️

On February 19, President Trump will host the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington. @GhAlOmari shares the key things he's looking for including who will be in attendance, prospects for Hamas disarmament, and how much money will be raised.

The visibility of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza will hinge on its ability to promptly provide tangible deliverables, so the Trump administration, the Board of Peace, and the High Representative should stand ready to provide the requisite support on staving off Hamas and PA obstructionism and cutting through Israeli red tape, writes @GhAlOmari. washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

New from @GhAlOmari: Last month’s establishment of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza marks an important step in the transition to postwar stabilization efforts. The NCAG’s viability will depend on producing quick, tangible deliverables. washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

Decades of failed Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy hold lessons for Gaza's future. On today's FDD Morning Brief, @JSchanzer and former PA negotiator @GhAlOmari discuss why past peace efforts collapsed and examine the path to sustainable reconstruction. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

“The security of Saudi Arabia is an American interest, and is key to deter Iran and its proxies from destabilizing the Kingdom,” said @GhAlOmari of The Washington Institute. @matthewashea_ reports: ji.news/4ehmf

#Hamas quietly reasserts control in Gaza as post-war talks grind on. And as ⁦@GhAlOmari⁩ notes, “The longer that the international community waits, the more entrenched Hamas becomes” reuters.com/world/middle-e…

غيث العمري يؤكد أن المرحلة المقبلة تتطلب تحركاً أمريكياً عاجلاً يمنع تسلل "حماس" وأنصارها عبر الباب الخلفي إلى أي من الكيانات أوالهيئات التي ستتولى إدارة قطاع غزة، مشدداً على أن ذلك لا يمكن أن يتحقق إلا عبر مقاربة واقعية وشاملة تعالج المعضلات السياسية والأمنية التي يواجهها القادة في القاهرة وسائر العواصم العربية. @GhAlOmari للمزيد: washingtoninstitute.org/ar/policy-anal…

RT @WashInstitute: Who will decide the composition and authority of the the committee that will temporarily govern Gaza? @GhAlOmari explain…

Washington Needs to Intervene in Choosing Gaza’s “Technocratic, Apolitical” Governing Committee ⁦@GhAlOmari⁩ ⁦@WashInstitute⁩ washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

How stable is the Gaza ceasefire? On the FDD Morning Brief, @JSchanzer is joined by @GhAlOmari, senior fellow at @WashInstitute and former Palestinian advisor, to discuss the challenges to a peaceful and stable future for the coastal enclave. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
