Michael R. Gordon and Lara Seligman WSJ, July 19, 2024 “A decision by Moscow to arm the Houthis would mark an escalation in its confrontation with Washington, which has been playing out mostly over the conflict in Ukraine. Moscow has already sparked deep concern among U.S. officials by solidifying ties with North Korea and Iran […]

Shachar Kleiman, Israel Hayom, July 19, 2024 “The Houthis’ confidence is also reflected in their escalating threats towards Saudi Arabia in recent weeks.” The Houthi drone attack in Tel Aviv is a troubling reminder of this growing threat since the outbreak of the civil war in Yemen in the previous decade. The militia, known as “Ansar […]
Seth Mandel Commentary Magazine, July 23, 2024 “Russia is leveling that threat as a direct response to U.S. support for Ukraine, more proof that the conflicts cannot be compartmentalized and treated as if in a vacuum.” The tagline of the seminal reality-tv show, MTV’s The Real World, was: Find out what happens when people […]
Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar Foreign Affairs, Jan. 29, 2024 “… as Yemen descended into warfare, the Houthis became a highly motivated and formidable military force, capturing large amounts of land. Today, Houthis control two-thirds of Yemen’s 34 million people and a third of the country’s territory—land they took even in the face of an intensive […]

Prof. Talia Einhorn Israel Hayom, July 18, 2024 “In international law, according to the principle of Uti possidetis, the borders of a new state are determined according to the borders it had when it was established.” The “Iron Swords” War imposed on us underscores the need to reexamine the legality of Jewish settlement across the […]
Natasha Hausdorff, The Telegraph, July 20, 2024 The virulently anti-Israel Advisory Opinion handed down by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday, arguing Israel’s “policies and practices” have breached international law, is just that: an opinion. It does not have legally binding status. The value of that opinion is ultimately undermined by the weakness of […]
Elliot Abrams Council on Foreign Relations, July 20, 2024 “The hostility toward Israel, the sheer malice, the desire to do harm, is clearly visible in paragraph 278, where nations are urged not to have embassies in Jerusalem and not to allow trade in items from the West Bank.” On Friday, July 19, the International […]
Robert Nicholson, WSJ, July 21, 2024 In a gross miscarriage of justice that surprised no one, the main judicial body of the United Nations has attacked Jewish self-determination in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. The International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion Friday saying that Israel’s “occupation” of the Palestinian Territories violates international law. The ICJ’s opinion […]

Amir Bohbot Jerusalem Post, July 21, 2024 “After consolidating all Hamas infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, based on what we saw in maps and documents and what was actually discovered, it is clear that Gaza was constructed as one large military base, including the use of kindergartens, schools, clinics, hospitals, and mosques. They intended to […]
Dr. Liraz Margalit Jerusalem Post, July 21, 2024 “The psychological war and the design of the victory narrative are an integral part of the war.” If the attempted assassination of Mohammed Deif, the head of the military wing of Hamas, is confirmed, it will be Israel’s greatest psychological achievement amid the current war. It is […]
Elliot Kaufman WSJ, July 19, 2024 “It shouldn’t be a surprise that pressure on Hamas could yield gains in negotiations. Yet for months Western powers took the opposite approach, pressuring Israel to end the war and leave Hamas victorious.” Something changed in Gaza. After months of rejecting Israeli cease-fire proposals and holding out for […]
