Climate change threatens the health of millions of people. Rising temperatures & extreme weather destroys health systems, displaces people & disrupts health services. We must build climate resilient health systems to save lives. #UNGA79

My by now annual look at what might be ahead for the #MiddleEast in the new year. Unsurprisingly, #Israel/#Hamas/#Gaza casts a long shadow. @ISS_RUSI @RUSI_org
'The challenge of how to deal with Iran, including its nefarious influence across the Middle East and its nuclear programme, must once again be a top priority for policymakers everywhere' writes @tobiasborck in the latest #RUSICommentary. https://t.co/nMGAfVW8jR

Just read this by @emile_hokayem “Perhaps the most immediate danger, however, is not a sudden explosion of violence across the region, but the world’s slow normalisation of, and desensitisation to, what should be an unacceptably high level of violence and human misery.”

Read this excellent piece by @BShtwtr looking at the #Houthi attacks in the #RedSea. I’m also delighted that Baraa has just joined @RUSI_org @ISS_RUSI as an Associate Fellow!
By pressuring the Yemeni government and its allies to draw down operations against the Houthis, the international community gave the militant group a chance to rebuild its strength, as demonstrated by recent attacks in the Red Sea, writes Baraa Shaiban. https://t.co/9kEaRHruMJ

My latest for @RUSI_org @ISS_RUSI - looking at the Gulf states’ (mostly #SaudiArabia, #UAE, #Qatar) positions vis-a-vis the #Israel-#Hamas war in #Gaza.
'The Gulf states have seen the US’s strong support for Israel as another sign that Washington’s strategy in the Middle East is out of step with the regional mood' writes @tobiasborck in the latest #RUSICommentary. https://t.co/gBfPMj9b5m
