Regional states rather than a US-led coalition should govern security arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz

Most of the international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal

The United States should commit to defending Taiwan against a Chinese invasion

Gaza should be governed by an independent Palestinian administration after the Israel–Hamas war

Ukraine's NATO membership remains institutionally advanced but politically frozen

State-level sanctions against Israel are justified as a response to Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank

A negotiated two-state solution remains the most just and viable resolution to the Israel–Palestine conflict

Israeli settlers in the West Bank are not civilians

Sexual violence by Israeli settlers is used to intimidate and displace Palestinian communities in the West Bank

Under the proposed roadmap, Hamas would hand over its weapons to a new Palestinian technocratic committee designated to oversee daily administration in Gaza

Sanctions against individual settlers cannot stop annexation because settlement expansion is directed and financed by the Israeli state

The U.S.-backed 15-point roadmap requires Hamas to disarm in Gaza and Israel to withdraw its forces from the territory

Ukraine should be granted full membership in NATO

Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is an unlawful attack on international navigation

Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip

European states should deploy forces to enforce any future ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine
