Hello, everyone.
Soon, Israel will have been waging war on the besieged Gaza Strip for a year. Yet, as the fighting in Gaza continues, Israeli forces have also escalated attacks in Lebanon, where they say they’re targeting the armed group Hezbollah. Lebanon’s no stranger to conflict and strife, as Madeline Edwards reports [ [link removed] ], and a new generation of children is now coming of age during yet another war.
Last Thursday marked the annual International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. While US nuclear policy has centered around deterrence, Danny Hall argues in a new op-ed [ [link removed] ], it’s time for policymakers to reassess the failed strategy. After all, civilization is on the line.

“Responsible Leaders Don’t Ignore Nuclear Deterrence Failures [ [link removed] ]” by Danny Hall (Sept. 24)
We have been lucky enough to avoid a catastrophic failure of nuclear deterrence for more than 70 years, but that record understates how close we came to causing our own destruction.

“Amid Conflict and Climate Challenges, the UN is Faltering [ [link removed] ]” by Andrew Cheatham (Sept. 24)

“Deep Dive: Power to the People? [ [link removed] ]” Emily Tamkin (Sept. 26)
