Shayndi Raice and Aaron Boxerman WSJ, Mar. 12, 2023 “The less influence the U.S. has in the region, the worse it is for Israel.” Saudi Arabia’s surprise agreement to renew diplomatic relations with Iran marks a significant blow to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s key foreign-policy goal: creating a regional alliance built around isolating Iran. Mr. Netanyahu has […]
Vivian Nereim NY Times, Mar. 10, 2023 “Beijing has adopted a smart approach using its strategic partnership diplomacy, building diplomatic capital on both sides of the Gulf. Unlike the United States, which balances one side against the other, and is therefore limited in its diplomatic capacity.” After years of open hostility and proxy conflicts […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Mar. 11, 2023 “If Iran doesn’t shift its behavior and if there is no deal in Yemen or Lebanon to reduce tensions then the agreement will appear hollow, or it will appear that it is only focusing on one “file” and not looking at the broader region.” Iran and […]

Sagi Cohen and Corin Degani Haaretz, Mar 12, 2023 “I’m responsible for them and they have disappeared, and it’s not because I made a mistake. There is talk that some of the money will be returned. That doesn’t comfort me. The level of certainty is zero. Leading a startup is hard. There’s always […]
Sophie Shulman C Tech, Mar.12, 2023 “Poor communication, unfortunate choice of words, and an unusual dependence on a handful of clients resulted in the bank becoming a persona non grata.” The story of the dramatic collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) should greatly alarm Israel. Not necessarily because of the expected damage […]
Roi Weinberger Globes, Mar. 12, 2023 “Harel’s investments are not affected by the state of the bank but by the state of the companies to which the loans were given.” The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has raised immediate concerns about the impact on Israeli institutional investors. In recent years they […]
Andrew Stuttaford National Review, Mar. 11, 2023 “The fear in the financial markets this weekend stems from the fact that investors are scrutinizing other financial institutions for similar vulnerabilities.” Via the Rational Walk, a handy (technical, but easy to read) account of some of what went wrong with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).

Alexander Raskin Jersey Dying Well Group, Feb. 2, 2023 “Since Trudeau was elected in 2015, his government has single-handedly created the largest, most permissive euthanasia program in the world.” It was supposed to be easy. If journalists asked the Honourable David Lametti, Canada’s minister of justice, a difficult question about euthanasia, he simply […]
Jane Stannus Spectator Australia, Feb. 14, 2023 “… with the support for euthanasia comes the insidious pseudo-religious pressure to take one’s own life as a noble act of self-immolation on the altar of society.” Two cheers for a brief hiatus in the Canadian stampede towards suicide for all. Earlier this month, David […]
Chris Selley WSJ, Dec. 30, 2023 “Canada, however, is bizarrely obsessed with “equal rights”—and far more deferential than it should be to hopelessly out-of-touch judges who have driven both the legalization and expansion of euthanasia.” Canada’s Supreme Court held in 2015 that people with “a grievous and irremediable medical condition” had a […]
Maria Cheng AP, Aug. 11, 2022 “Canada prides itself on being liberal and accepting, “but what’s happening with euthanasia suggests there may be a darker side.” Alan Nichols had a history of depression and other medical issues, but none were life-threatening. When the 61-year-old Canadian was hospitalized in June 2019 over fears […]
