Editorial Board I & I, May 18, 2023 “The only plausible answer for this “noticeable departure” is that it was indeed just that — a conscious move on the part of the FBI to intervene in a presidential election on behalf of a political ally.” The long-delayed, much-awaited Durham report has finally dropped. And what […]
Holman W. Jenkins Jr. WSJ, May 16, 2023 If there wasn’t a “Clinton plan”—the phrase used 65 times in Monday’s published report by Justice Department special counsel John Durham—to tar then-rival Donald Trump as a Russian agent, there may have been a plan about what to say if anybody asked if there was a Clinton plan.

Walter Russell Mead WSJ, May 15, 2023 “American policy toward Israel depends less on poll numbers than on how a given U.S. president sees American interests world-wide and where Israel and the Middle East fit into the administration’s global foreign policy.” It’s been 75 years since the Jewish community in British Palestine rejected a last-minute plea […]
Philip Klein National Review, Apr. 27, 2023 “The conflict between being an open and liberal state and an explicitly Jewish one has led to clashes on immigration, transportation, social welfare, and army service, among many other topics.” Spending Passover in Israel feels like cheating.

Elliot Abrams Council on Foreign Affairs, May 9, 2023 ”Their claim that Israel, because it is a Jewish state, “fosters a form of ethnic nationalism” is akin to their claim about apartheid: they don’t quite have the courage of their convictions and do not say what their article logically leads to—the belief that Zionism is […]

Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, May 8, 2023 “… in January 2022 they [JINSA] had “urged the US government to seize the opportunity to start building a new Middle East defense architecture premised on bringing America’s regional partners together in common cause to counter the growing menace from Iran.” US National Security Advisor […]
Dr. Yechiel M. Leiter Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, No. 662, May 15, 2023 “The Saudis are shrewd and accomplished diplomats, masters at unravelling the mysteries of Middle East intrigue, and there are no better experts at identifying the duplicitous nature of the ayatollah regime.” Not as It Appears With the announcement of the rapprochement […]
Jonathan Schachter The Hill, Apr. 25, 2023 “In August 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported that, with the help of China, the Saudis have built a facility to process uranium ore. In December of the following year, the Journal revealed that the kingdom, again with Chinese assistance, is producing its own ballistic missiles.” From its […]
Yohanan Tzoreff and Yoel Guzansky INSS Insight No. 1722, May 11, 2023 “The proximity of the visits prompted speculation that Riyadh seeks to strengthen its influence in the Gaza Strip and perhaps promote reconciliation between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.” The Hamas leadership, including Chairman of the Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh, visited Saudi Arabia in […]
