Lee Smith Tablet, Feb. 5, 2025 “Trump is right to see both Egypt and Jordan as paltry constructions with little-to-no ability to project force on America’s behalf,” Yesterday, President Donald Trump single-handedly collapsed the most destructive idea of the last hundred years—Palestine. During meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, Trump […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Feb. 6, 2025 “It’s a nonstarter because all of these groups are still holding on to the idea that it must be preserved as a bastion of anti-Zionist irredentism. In their minds, Gaza’s only purpose is to serve, along with Judea and Samaria, and some of Jerusalem, as parts of an […]
Elliot Kaufman WSJ, Feb. 5, 2025 “The scandal isn’t that displaced Palestinians now could be “transferred” voluntarily out of Gaza; it’s that they have been forced to stay there—as Hamas’s shields during the war and among the ruins in its aftermath.” President Trump shocked the world with his proposal to resettle Gazans in nearby countries, […]

Lazar Berman Times of Israel, Feb. 5, 2025 “If Netanyahu continues his approach of backing Trump’s ideas to stay in his good graces, he could undermine Israel’s alliances with Jordan and Egypt, with nothing to show for it.” As is often the case with Donald Trump, there were plenty of headline-worthy statements that came out […]
Alex Traiman JNS, Feb. 5, 2025 “I believe, Mr. President, that your willingness to puncture conventional thinking that his failed time and time again, and today, your willingness to think outside the box with fresh ideas. … You cut to the chase; you see things others refuse to see.” U.S. President Donald Trump, sitting alongside […]
Shachar Kleiman Israel Hayom, Feb. 5, 2025 “The current hysteria echoes the paranoia surrounding Trump’s previous “Deal of the Century” initiative, which his administration promoted during its first term.” President Trump’s remarks triggered a barrage of denunciations from Hamas. His vision, which includes massive Palestinian migration and US ownership of Gaza, directly threatens the terrorist organization’s […]

Reuel Marc Gerecht and Mark Dubowitz WSJ, Jan. 22, 2025 “Without enforceable red lines, Tehran has an insuperable advantage. Whenever the U.S. gives ground to Iran, diplomacy turns into extortion.” Will Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei agree to nuclear negotiations with President Trump? According to the Justice Department, the cleric’s minions tried to assassinate Mr. Trump during the […]
Caitlin McFall Fox News, Jan. 31, 2025 “Creating a Space Command of the IRGC’s Aerospace Force has served to camouflage the development of nuclear warheads under the guise of launching satellites while additionally giving the regime independent communications necessary for guiding the nuclear warheads.” A covert agency within Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, tasked […]
Michael Lippin VOA, Feb. 3, 2025 “It makes sense for Iran to try to obtain more of these precursor chemicals from China because Tehran sees Beijing as a more trusted partner than other nations.” The Trump administration has made its first comment on Western media reports that Iran is trying to ship a missile propellant […]
David E. Sanger and Julian E. Barnes NYTimes, Feb. 3, 2025 “Iran’s best deterrent would be to convert that fuel into a working weapon.

Dennis Ross and David Makovsky Foreign Affairs, Feb. 3, 2025 “Netanyahu, of course, cares more about staying prime minister than he does about pleasing Trump.
