Steven A. Cook Council on Foreign Relations, Dec. 1, 2024 “For the moment, Assad’s problems in Syria are Iran’s problems in Syria and that is good for Israel.” How did opposition fighters gain control of Syria’s second-largest city eight years after they were routed? How significant is this? During the height of the conflict in […]

Oma Mizrahi INSS Insight No. 1916, Nov. 21, 2024 “New voices against Hezbollah are also emerging within the Shiite community, which has borne the brunt of the war.” As the war between Hezbollah and Israel continues, the toll on Lebanon is steadily increasing. Despite Israel’s efforts to focus on targeting Hezbollah and avoid damage to […]
Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, Nov. 28, 2024 “Israel has significantly restored its deterrent power, which had been undermined by Hamas’s surprise attacks of October 7, 2023.” Israel must adopt a proactive security policy on its northern border, as Iran and Hizbullah are likely to seek opportunities to surprise Israel […]
Noah Rothman National Review, Nov. 26, 2024 “Why should we expect a more serious effort now by the attenuated Lebanese government? Why would “a multi-nation committee” be any more effective at “monitoring” (distinct from “enforcing”) developments north of the Israeli border than U.N. peacekeepers?” The terms of the cease-fire deal to which Israel and Lebanon […]

Jonathan Spyer The Spectator, Nov. 26, 2024 “Hezbollah’s grip was firmly reimposed as soon as the fighting ended. The huge program of rearmament that followed took place within this structure of control.” Nothing is yet confirmed, but it appears that a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah is imminent. The fighting, which began on 8 […]

Danny Zaken Israel Hayom, Nov. 27, 2024 “This shift primarily reflects a change in State Department strategy, which had previously sought to influence Israel’s military operations, particularly regarding advances into Rafah and Khan Younis.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his security cabinet’s decision to approve the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon was heavily influenced by […]
Kyle Orton Unherd, Nov. 27, 2024 “It is an open question whether these terms can sustain a ceasefire even for the 60 days needed for the first phase of implementation.” The ceasefire announced between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon enters into force today. It does, however, contain several flaws. The key problem is enforcement. The framework for […]
Dr. Fiamma Nirenstein Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, Nov. 27, 2024 “The Jewish state understands that continuing to battle Hizbullah diverts time and resources from the primary target: Iran, which is developing a nuclear bomb while reshaping its strategy of encirclement.” The Hizbullah-Israel ceasefire is unlike the 2006 agreement, which fell apart the […]

Ynet News, Nov. 27, 2024 “Hezbollah officials have said the resistance – widely understood to mean its armed status – will continue.” With the bodies of its fighters still strewn on the battlefield, Hezbollah must bury its dead and provide succor to its supporters who bore the brunt of Israel’s offensive, as the first steps […]

Joe Warmington Toronto Sun, Nov. 25, 2024 “About a month ago, the anti-Israel mob showed up doing everything possible to incite and harass the Jewish community. There are violations of the Criminal Code and city bylaws by the anti-Israel group, and yet there is little enforcement action taken.” They know it. Jewish Torontonians know it. […]
Tristin Hopper National Post, Nov. 26, 2024 “This doesn’t make any sense. It’s completely crazy,” one bystander yelled at the mob in French.” A series of anti-Israel riots in Montreal have attracted international condemnation and prompted Conservative calls for an emergency parliamentary probe. “Violent protesters set cars on fire, threw small explosives and other objects […]
Geoff Russ National Post, Nov. 25, 2024 “One hundred and fifty-seven years on from Confederation, Canada is at risk of permanently becoming a husk of a nation where religious and ethnic minorities are terrorized and all the government can do is try and manage the situation, because, in their eyes, those threatened are the wrong […]
