Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Aug. 6, 2024 “Shapiro being an affiliated synagogue member who attended Jewish day school and sends his own children to them, as well as has a record of support for Israel dating back to his youth, made him unacceptable to that crucial wing of the party.” There was probably more […]

Gerard Baker WSJ, Aug. 5, 2024 “If the election is decided on the issues, on voters’ perceptions of the state of the country, Ms. Harris is surely in as much trouble as Mr. Biden was.” The only real question for the 90 days remaining in this presidential campaign: Can Operation Transfiguration succeed? Can the Democrats […]
Nils A. Haug Gatestone Institute, Aug. 7, 2024 “The administration has embargoed and slow-walked weapons transfers to Israel to prevent it from defeating Hamas or moving to offense against Hezbollah.” “They are fighting like lions in these alleys, under constant threat. They are heroes. This is not a simple war,” recalled Lt. Col. Almog Rotem, a […]
Musa al-Gharbi Unherd, Aug. 6, 2024 “The biggest wildcard for Harris’s nascent campaign, though, is her leadership style. Over her time in California politics, Harris earned a reputation of being a cruel boss whose organisations operated in a dysfunctional way and with unusually high turnover.” In 2016, mainstream analysts were virtually certain that Donald Trump would not win the […]

Professor Efraim Inbar JISS, Aug. 4, 2024 “Attrition warfare is the best outcome for the population-centric Iranian strategy and the worst possible scenario for Israel.” Governments in many capitals of the world have repeatedly expressed apprehensions about escalation of the Gaza conflict and Hezbollah’s war of attrition against Israel. They fear greater violence, more casualties and […]
Khaled Abu Toameh Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Aug. 1, 2024 “Despite the Fatah-Hamas rivalry, Abbas and Haniyeh did not hesitate to meet or talk over the phone to discuss various issues, particularly ways of “reconciling” their rival parties.” At least two Palestinians have good reasons to be satisfied following the preemptive targeting of Ismail […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, Aug. 6, 2024 “… the elevation of Sinwar isn’t itself unusual, but it wasn’t the plan and it puts all the hats on one man’s head.” Yahya Sinwar has been named the new head of Hamas’s political division, and congratulations are in order—mostly for Israel, which can see in Sinwar’s promotion the […]

Seth J. Frantzman The National Interest, July 31, 2024 “It was Haniyeh who led Gaza down the road of becoming a springboard for ever-larger attacks on Israel.” Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran on July 31. Haniyeh was one of the most well-known faces of Hamas in the region. Ever since he took over […]

Tony Badran Tablet, July 31, 2024 “The Obama team sees Jewish sovereignty as a destabilizing factor in the regional arrangement with Iran, which therefore must be constrained, if not out outright abolished.” According to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Israel has “effectively lost sovereignty” over the north of its own country thanks to […]
Debbie Weiss Algemeiner, Aug. 5, 2024 “The reaction of the world was extraordinary. By eliminating two mass murderers, they’re saying Israel has jeopardized peace. You can’t make this stuff up,” Oren said. “What foils the chances for a hostage agreement [with Hamas] and for regional stability is not standing up to terror and not fighting.” […]
Can Kasapoğlu Hudson Institute, Aug. 2, 2024 “Even if Israel were to intercept 90 percent of Hezbollah’s projectiles, hundreds per day would still reach their targets unscathed.” Below, Hudson Senior Fellow Can Kasapoğlu offers an analysis of Hezbollah’s military capabilities and details why the war against Tehran’s Lebanese proxy would be an uphill battle for […]
Tovah Lazaroff Jerusalem Post, Aug. 5, 2024 “Escalation is in no one’s interest. It’s not in the interest of any one country. It’s not in the interest of the region, and it’s certainly not in the interest of the millions of civilians who just want to live their lives free from violence and conflict.” […]
