Mathilda Heller Jerusalem Post, Aug. 11, 2025 “As the Israel Democracy Institute recently explained, the traditional position in international law is that a state either exists, or it does not: “If it does not meet the factual conditions for statehood, recognition of it has no meaning.”” On Monday, Australia joined a growing number of […]

Seth Mandel Commentary, July 31, 2025 “The problem with this line of thinking is that it assumes these Western countries don’t want to escalate the situation. By all accounts they do …” The dominoes have begun to fall regarding the recognition of Palestinian statehood. It’s time for the U.S. and Israel to make sure they have […]
Sean Durns Algemeiner, Aug. 11, 2025 “… there already been a “trial Palestinian state” and it was in Gaza.” In 1973, Israel’s longtime foreign minister, Abba Eban, famously quipped that “the Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Less famously, perhaps, the media never misses a chance to cover for the long history […]
Yaroslav Mar Times of Israel, Aug. 10, 2025 “Many claim that if Germany could be denazified without ceasing to exist, “Palestine” could be deradicalized into a state. But the analogy falls apart instantly.” The illusion has gone on long enough. For decades, world leaders have clung to the idea that peace in the Middle […]
Philip Cunliffe August 11, 2025 While the Gaza Strip lies in rubble, the cause of Palestinian freedom seems on the verge of a global breakthrough. Three leading Western states—Canada, France and the United Kingdom—have all said that they will recognize Palestine as an independent state, as have 143 of the 193 UN member-states. This marks […]

Fiamma Nirenstein JNS, Aug. 8, 2025 “If the West cannot confront a genocidal Islamist movement after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, it forfeits its own moral standing.” It was an unusually candid moment. Speaking to a small group of journalists before Thursday night’s Security Cabinet meeting—a rare move in itself—Prime Minister Benjamin […]
Amit Segal Israel Hayom, Aug.7, 2025 “No one said this to me directly, but my impression is that the disagreement over how to bring down Hamas doesn’t just lie between the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet and the IDF chief of staff – it also exists between Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and chief of […]
Jonathan Lipow Times of Israel, Aug. 7, 2025 “… it is vital that Israel win this war, and frankly, the only way to do so is to isolate Hamas from Gaza’s civilian population. There are three options for doing that – and all of them are bad. One option, however, is clearly better than […]
Meir Ben Shabbat Israel Hayom, Aug. 11, 2025 “The cabinet’s decision suffers from several key weaknesses.” The cabinet’s decision on the five conditions required for ending the war has effectively resolved the dispute over the preferred course of action, since these conditions can only be met through a full occupation of Gaza. However, clarifications and […]

Nitzan Cohen Israel Hayom, Aug. 6, 2025 “Beyond the initial spending, the annual cost of maintaining full control over Gaza is estimated at between 60 and 130 billion shekels ($17.4 to $37.6 billion).” So how much will it cost? Attempts to clarify the expected financial burden on Israel by asserting sovereignty over the Gaza Strip […]
Ynet News, Aug. 6, 2025 “… the group had hidden about $700 million in cash inside tunnels before Oct. 7.” Despite being severely weakened since its deadly October 7 terror attack on Israeli communities, Hamas has continued paying salaries to its members through a clandestine, cash-based system. According to a BBC report published Wednesday, […]
Shachar Kleiman Israel Hayom, Aug. 1, 2025 “A year later, Hezbollah faces a historic crisis.” This marked the beginning of the avalanche. Nearly a year has passed since Hassan Nasrallah’s right-hand man was eliminated in Dahiyeh, Beirut. The strike against Fu’ad Shukr was an almost surreal event at the time. The IDF was responding […]
