Shalom Yerushalmi Times of Israel, Feb. 3, 2025 “This is no longer just the outgoing Biden administration, focused overwhelmingly on the hostage deal. It is about the geostrategic vision of the new administration, continuing alongside or in parallel with the hostage deal. Netanyahu needs Dermer — his closest confidant — on the ground.” Minister Ron […]
Alex Traiman JNS, Feb. 2, 2025 “During his presidential campaign, Trump noted that “Israel is a very tiny country,” and pondered aloud as to whether there were ways for the country to “get bigger.”” Barely two weeks after Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu […]

Smadar Perry Ynet News, Jan. 20, 2025 “. . . anti-Israel propaganda continues to flow in Egypt with venom that could be described as lethal, while Al Jazeera’s inflammatory coverage enrages Qatari citizens.” As the Qatar-brokered hostage deal takes shape and three hostages have been reunited with their families, it’s hard to forget the “Gentleman […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, Jan. 28, 2025 “Qatar is playing games with Israel’s domestic politics.” The Qatari prime minister is taking a victory lap over the hostage deal his government helped negotiate. That may seem inevitable and perhaps even earned, but a wide-ranging interview that Mohammed Al-Thani gave to Israel’s Channel 12 showed precisely why the Qataris are […]
Michael Pregent The Hill, Jan. 22, 2025 “It’s time to put Doha on notice that they are jeopardizing their relationship with the U.S. by providing material support to designated terrorist groups.” An alliance with the U.S. — specifically, a Major Non-NATO alliance — was once the most highly coveted relationship a nation could earn, a sacrosanct pact […]
Melanie Phillips JNS, Jan. 23, 2025 “For people who set their clock in the seventh century, waiting out four years of Trump is just another small delay that they will try to leverage to their advantage.” Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, has called the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal an “inflection […]

Gerald Steinberg Quillette, Jan. 29, 2025 “Many members of the International Committee of the Red Cross—who visited Gaza, held press conferences and left without bringing holy hell down on Hamas, kicking and screaming and demanding that they see the hostages—have blood on their hands.” On 19 January 2025, following the conclusion of Israel’s ceasefire agreement […]
Tirza Short Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, Jan. 29, 2025 “Since the UN is the global arbiter of what is “politically correct,” the result has been the endowment of moral and political legitimacy to terrorist aggressors, negating the fundamental values of the international system.” The year 2025 marks the fiftieth anniversary of United […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Jan. 29, 2025 “What worries Democrats about sanctioning the ICC is the prospect that American action could really cripple the court. . . . the issue on the left is their unwillingness to do anything about multilateral institutions, like the ICC or the United Nations, even if they become cesspools of […]
UNWatch, Jan. 7, 2025 “UNRWA’s senior management not only knowingly employ individuals tied to Hamas terrorism, but also allow the terrorist groups to influence critical agency decisions and policies.” A bombshell new investigation from international human rights group UN Watch exposes the disturbing links between the UNRWA and Palestinian terror organizations.

Herb Keinon Jerusalem Post, Jan. 28, 2025 “Appointing him now as Supreme Court president, even though this cloud above his head has not been dispelled, only gives fodder to those who already say that, for various reasons, the court is illegitimate.” In a normal country, appointing a Supreme Court president clouded by ethical allegations would dominate […]
