By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun Should the Mideast fear the recent signing of a $400 billion, 25-year “strategic partnership” pact between Communist China and the Iranian ayatollahs? “If you analyze China’s policy, you’ll not see a threat to anyone,” Russia’s deputy ambassador to…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The Israeli election, the fourth in that country in two years, is generally being portrayed in the Western media as the latest round in the gripping battle for survival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has established himself as one of the… Fading France Could Emerge As Quite a Story Will Macron enjoy next year the advantages he had in 2017 against Mme. Le Pen? By MICHEL GURFINKIEL, Special to the Sun During his epic campaign in Egypt, Napoleon Bonaparte organized a 400 hundred-man dromedary-mounted regiment and made a point of being portrayed himself as riding the swift exotic animal. It is a sign of the times — and France’s fading fortunes… Israel Democracy Lies in Peril In Coming Vote And the danger lurks among the legal fraternity By CAROLINE GLICK, Special to the Sun In a week and a half, Israel’s polling stations will open and Israelis will elect their representatives to the Knesset for the fourth time in two years.

‘Never complain, never explain,’ Dizzy said. Yet our man reckons Britons will rally. By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun “Never complain and never explain.” An axiom made famous by Benjamin Disraeli. And advice the Royal Family makes its own. Until now.

Yet, as at any time during the tenure…
