ALT The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling. By Jeffrey Goldberg

My take on factors driving #putin thinking in how to approach a ceasefire. This is real dilemma. We will know soon. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

1/THREAD: for past couple of months, I have been involved in extensive reporting alongside @mcbrams and @CaleoneMbewe. The result of that effort is a brutal story that uncovers a secret migrant trafficking syndicate operating in Malawi, preying on vulnerable Ethiopian migrants.

@ChathamHouse "China's continued approach of cool distance makes it a reticent yet critical potential player in negotiating a ceasefire, and it also needs to have limits on its ties with Moscow." My latest op-ed @FT

Beware of a ceasefire. My take on the implications of a rushed deal that leaves the defence of Ukraine in limbo. Just a reminder: since the war started 10 years ago, there have been 17 ceasefire agreements between 🇺🇦 &🇷🇺. None held. More here 🔽 chathamhouse.org/2025/01/rap…

Sharing my new article @ForeignAffairs assessing whether America's allies can save America's alliances.
I didn't expect President-elect Trump's press conference yesterday to make the topic so relevant.
It’ll certainly incentivise US allies to get serious.

Will @realDonaldTrump and @ZelenskyyUa see the end of war in 🇺🇦eye to eye? My take is - no. #Ukraine might become a collateral damage of great power politics. European coalition of brave nations must work together to prevent this from happening. photo @Reuters

In case you missed it at the weekend, there's a v. important case in Colchester where 1,000 new homes – and the apparent misuse of biodiversity net gain – are threatening a nightingale and all-round biodiversity hotspot (that's great for local people too). theguardian.com/environment/…

Irish people have been peacekeeping in southern Lebanon for so long that the local Lebanese people have full Irish accents
IDF tells Ireland to remove its peacekeepers from an outpost on the border with Lebanon as its invasion of the country continues. They are not moving.

For 3 yrs now, I've been researching a book, mostly set in 1980's, revisiting the rise of the PLO in Lebanon, the 1982 Israeli invasion and the birth of Hezbollah. Watching the events unfold over the last year, but esp last few months, from Lebanon, to Israel to Iran...
