Saudi Arabia: The emerging cultural powerhouse shaping global soft power dynamics
By Rajah Abli Blay*In today's interconnected world, the concept of soft power has become increasingly crucial in shaping global relations and influence.

Unveiling Western bias: Examining perceptions and policies towards Palestine
By Jamil AldandanyUnlike previous conflicts between Palestinians and Israelis, the current crisis is likely to shape the Middle East and the region’s relations with the West for many years to come.

This is in spite of the fact this is the longest occupation in modern history, and has involved outright theft of land, expansion of settlements, hundreds of prisoners in administrative detention (including women and children), and the imposition of a de facto apartheid regime in the occupied territories.Western politicians need to be reminded of...
