I heard something hit the floor and the lights went out as outside power was cut.

It is not about to relinquish authority to an outside power.

It needs to include Israel and be guaranteed by major outside powers.

Their cooperation improved over time, although there still was support from outside powers.

Are we using our own hand or is an outside power directing it?

So they each need to say that an outside power forced them to act.

No outside power has said it is ready to arm or supply the rebel army.

Until now, it has been in the hands of outside powers.

"After that there will be very little need for bargaining with the outside powers."

She has never been conquered or ruled by an outside power.
