Someone Has to Lead

The U.S. must keep leading the world in promoting global human rights, despite its flawed human rights record and internal struggles.
Progress on freedom in the world requires U.S. leadership, otherwise Russia, China, and other autocratic states will continue democratic backsliding around the world.

Whose Ground Zero? Competing Perspectives of the Israel-Hamas War

The U.S. and Europe's pro-Israel stance in the war in Gaza, coupled with their response to Ukraine, is leading to global criticism and a potential shift in international relations, isolating them from non-Western countries.
This situation offers autocratic nations like China, Iran, and Russia an opportunity to increase their influence, exploiting perceptions of Western moral inconsistency and opportunism.

Israel-Hamas Conflict: 5 Actions Washington Should Prioritize Now

The U.S. should prioritize negotiating a humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict and ensure robust humanitarian aid to Gaza, while supporting Israel's defense needs without contributing to collective punishment against Palestinians.
It's important for the U.S. to enforce policies on civilian protection and human rights in the conflict, and to lead diplomatic efforts for a political solution that fosters lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
