Sander Gerbert and Robert Wexler The Hill, Jan. 4, 2024 “This doesn’t mean the two-state solution is impossible, but it does demand a realistic assessment of its current viability given Iranian opposition to a moderate Palestinian leadership that could actually make peace. The first step towards a revamped PA must be the elimination of […]

TOI staff Times of Israel, Dec. 29, 2024 “According to the Hezbollah source, Arouri “oversold” Hamas’s leaders on the support they could expect from Hezbollah and others.” Hamas alerted the leader of fellow terror group Hezbollah just minutes before launching its October 7 assault, according to a report this week, detailing rifts between various Iran-backed groups […]
Tal Schneider Times of Israel, Jan. 2, 2024 “Eventually, Hezbollah got everything it needed from the Koreans. By 2014, they’d had 25 years of interaction, in the course of which Hezbollah received knowledge and technology to the point where it was able to dig and build the tunnels by itself.” Two weeks ago, the IDF […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Jan. 4, 2024 “… a terrorist army like Hezbollah can only push so far. It has a lot to lose in Lebanon and it has become so large that it also has a lot of assets that are not easy to simply fold up and move.” For the past […]
Dan Diker Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Jan. 8, 2024 “The Iranian regime’s proxy strategy, utilizing Hizbullah, Hamas, and the Houthis, intends to put Israel in a no-win position of all-out multi-front war while benefitting from the West’s mistaken conviction that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict drives the Middle East’s regional instability.” The Iran-backed Hamas war with […]

Seth J. Frantzman FDD, Dec. 27, 2023 “This is why when many people hear the words “Shejaia,” or “Jabalya,” or “Beit Hanun,” it brings back memories of campaigns long ago, challenges met, adversaries bested, but with no real victory.” Israel has already churned through several phases: the initial response to the Hamas attack, the […]
Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen BESA, Jan. 3, 2024 “… the audacity of the IDF leadership and the war cabinet to deploy the IDF for an attack deep into Gaza’s densely populated, confined, and fortified urban terrain, both above and below ground – with an intensity not seen before, not even in the warfare of the […]
Meir Ben Shabbat Israel Hayom, Jan. 5, 2023 “Even if we assume that understandings could be struck between Israel and Egypt on this issue, a response will be required to two operational challenges: How to operate militarily in the crowded area that has absorbed thousands of people evacuated from the northern Gaza Strip; and the […]
Ariel Heimann INSS Special Publication, Jan. 7, 2024 “Lower intensity combat in Gaza still requires significant forces to defend and control the areas captured by the IDF (especially in northern Gaza); the new defense line, including a security perimeter, will be double the size of the previous one and manned with much greater density; and meanwhile, […]

Christopher F. Rufo WSJ, Jan. 3, 2023 “Throughout the campaign, I adopted the unorthodox approach of narrating the strategy in real time, explaining how conservatives could shape the media narrative and apply pressure to Harvard.” The left has spent decades consolidating power across the institutions of American academic life. The crowning achievement of that effort […]
Bret Stephens NY Times, Jan. 2, 2024 “… dehumanization is the price any institution pays when considerations of social engineering supplant those of individual achievement.” I had written and filed a column about Harvard and its president, Claudine Gay, when news of her resignation broke on Tuesday afternoon after fresh allegations of plagiarism in her published work. I’d like […]
Jonathan Tobin National Post, Jan. 3, 2023 “The reason why Gay was so vulnerable to criticism wasn’t just the testimony but the fact that her career embodied everything that is wrong about an ideology helping to fuel the surge in antisemitism in the United States.” In the end, not even the support of former U.S. […]
