Adam Kredo Free Beacon, Feb. 10, 2025 “Power’s USAID accused Israel of deliberately blocking Gazan aid deliveries, which Hamas is known to steal for its own use and for black market sales that fund its terror activities. USAID staffers went as far as to urge the Biden State Department to end military aid to Israel.” As the […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Feb. 9, 2025 “Trump can do as he appeared to intimate this past week in his meetings with Netanyahu—stating that Israel had the backing of the United States to do whatever is necessary to finally eradicate Hamas and ensure that it will never again hold power in Gaza.” It’s been more […]

A Paradigm Shift for the Middle East Elliot Abrams Foreign Affairs, Feb. 7, 2025 “Trump has always favored a negotiated solution to the U.S.-Iranian standoff and still does; the objective of his “maximum pressure” campaign in 2019–20 was not regime change but a new and comprehensive deal to replace the flawed one that President Barack […]
Lahav Harkov Jewish Insider, Feb. 6, 2025 “… if there are a few small fish with problematic views for Israel, we can deal with it. All the senior people support Israel very much. Yesterday, at the Department of Defense, we heard very warm and supportive things from Hegseth. That guy [DiMino] sat in the room and heard […]
Michael Oren Clarity with Michael Oren, Feb. 9, 2025 “For Trump today, the core problem in the Middle East is not the absence of a fantasized state for the Palestinians, but the presence of a Palestinian population condemned to pursue conflict, both by their socioeconomic circumstances and by their addiction to a victimhood narrative.” A […]

J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Feb. 6, 2025 “I emphatically don’t think he is writing guarantees for Israel’s behavior. The guarantee he’s writing is that Israel’s stake in the question is under our protection. No one’s going to hijack the disposition of Gaza out from under Israel.” This article is obviously a follow-up to the press […]

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, […]

Steve Apfel Balaam’s Curse, Feb. 6, 2025 “Who’d bet on the human rights industry supporting a peace plan and packing up?” No White House incumbent was better cut out than prickly Donald Trump to bring down the curtain on a conflict that has defied resolution. Shock and disgust followed his freaking plan to acquire the […]

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 […]
