Content edit

Al Siyassa Al Dawliya focuses on political affairs and international politics.[2][7] The magazine also covers scholarly articles on these topics.[8]

Al Siyassa Al Dawliya published an exceptional article on the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in November 1995 focusing on the degree of opposition in Israel to the peace between Israel and Palestinians.[9] Because the other Arab publications mostly considered the murder as a reflection of the frequent violence in Israel.[9] In February 2004 Osama Al Ghazali Harb supported the capture of Saddam Hussein in an editorial which also criticized those Arabs who opposed the way of his arrest by the US.[3][10]
