Herb Keinon Jerusalem Post, Apr. 6, 2025 “And a new issue, less prominent in previous meetings but one that has suddenly moved to the forefront – especially given Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly bellicose rhetoric toward Israel (last week he said he hoped Allah would destroy Israel) – is the matter of Israeli-Turkish relations.” […]

Alex Traiman JNS, Apr. 6, 2025 “Not only was Netanyahu the first world leader to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House, barely two weeks after his second inauguration in early February, he will now be the first leader to meet Trump twice.” On short notice last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu […]
Amir Taheri Gatestone, Apr. 6, 2025 “Tehran’s aim is either to derail the whole thing and blame Trump, or go into slow-motion mode in the hope that the US mid-term elections might puncture the Trump balloon.” After a three-year break, a serial that started almost 50 years ago is expected to return to world screens […]
Gregg Roman Commentary Magazine, April 2025 “If private citizens or organizations knowingly funded terror groups, they would face prosecution. However, bureaucrats or NGO executives evade accountability by invoking humanitarian intentions.” The world should shudder to discover that America’s foreign aid—long intended to uplift those in need overseas—has instead nourished extremists who despise the United States. […]

Keren Setton / The Media Line Ynet News, Apr. 2, 2025 “Qatar understands that countries and people are looking to promote short-term interests, and that by helping them, it gains a foothold.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abruptly left his trial on Monday to give testimony in the latest scandal involving his senior advisers and their […]
Jeremy Sharon Times of Israel, Apr. 3, 2025 “So what laws, then, could Urich and Feldstein have broken?” The Qatargate affair that has enveloped the Prime Minister’s Office in recent weeks has, in the last two days, roiled the airwaves and scandalized the news pages. Murky details have emerged of pro-Qatar lobbyists, spin doctors in […]
Jeremy Sharon and TOI staff Times of Israel, Apr. 3, 2025 “Unfortunately, the issue of leaks from the investigation is very damaging, and complicates it, and nothing has been done about this matter.” The Rishon Lezion Magistrates Court on Thursday extended the detention of the two key suspects in the Qatargate affair for another day […]
Matti Friedman The Free Press, Apr. 1, 2025 “Improving Qatari credibility in Israeli eyes would have the effect of doing the same where it really matters: in Washington.” Even those accustomed to the roiling wrestling ring that is Israeli politics can’t remember a week like the last one. Multiple aides to Israel’s own prime minister, […]

Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak JISS, Mar. 30, 2025 “… when İmamoğlu unequivocally condemned Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, explicitly characterizing the group as a terrorist organization.” The pre-dawn arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu—President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s most formidable political rival—cemented March 19 as a pivotal and unforgettable day in Turkish political history, when the […]
Michael Rubin AEI.ORG, Mar. 30, 2025 “The Turkish protestors now fight for the soul of their nation.” Two million Turks have gathered in Istanbul to protest President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s decision to arrest his main rival, Ekrem İmamoğlu, on trumped-up corruption and terror charges. Turks are not stupid; they see through Erdoğan’s cynicism and comment on its […]
Shay Gal Jerusalem Post, Apr. 2, 2025 “Erdogan himself escalated the rhetoric dramatically on March 30, explicitly calling upon Allah to bring “destruction upon Zionist Israel,” a statement described by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar as explicitly antisemitic and dangerous to regional stability.” A Turkish drone penetrating Israeli airspace is no longer imaginary – by 2025, […]
Yaroslav Trofimov WSJ, Mar. 31, 2025 “European nations simply don’t have the luxury of focusing too closely on Turkey’s situation at home, with an existential threat from Russia and an increasingly hostile Washington.” Turkey’s suppression of democratic opposition would have elicited strong protests from Europe in the past. But now, the worst rift in trans-Atlantic […]
