كل سنة وانتم بخير

Happy New Year to everyone. Arab political cartoons are always good for cheer when the new year rolls around, so I've included a few below.



From Asharq al-Awsat (The man's jacket says "Middle East")



From Annahar (Lebanon): "The year of national mending."

Another from Annahar: "The Newborn." The bubbles over the zeros say something to the literal effect of "By God, let them live." There's some grammatical complexity in the way the verb is written and it may be an idiomatic phrase that carries some other specific meaning. (Arabic readers please comment).


Al-Quds (Jerusalem): Both of the next two are from this paper.


Al-Watan: Muscat, Oman. The man's jacket says "Palestine"
