John Spencer Newsweek, July 19, 2024 “If the diplomats fail to demilitarize Hamas, the brutal war is likely to resume—this time spilling out to southern Lebanon as well, where Hezbollah is also ready to fight from underground strongholds.” This week, Israel very likely killed the long-time head of Hamas‘s military, Mohammed Dief, with multiple 2,000-pound […]

Ambassador (ret.) Michael Harari BESA, June 23, 2024 “Cairo wants to bring about an end to the war, but not in a way that creates achievements for Hamas.” Egypt’s energy problems worsened in the summer of 2023 when the authorities were forced to initiate power outages in response to heat-wave-induced high demand for electricity. Moreover, […]
Reuel Marc Gerecht WSJ, June 23, 2024 “The Egyptian army, like the Hashemite monarchy in Jordan, learned years ago that peace treaties with the Jewish state don’t require a full-faith renunciation of anti-Zionism.” Antony Blinken has visited Cairo again. The U.S. secretary of state met with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on June 10 to talk about […]
Nadav Shragai Israel Hayom, July 10, 2024 “The very thought of now erasing Egypt’s sins and giving them a role again in overseeing the Philadelphi Corridor and Rafah crossing is scandalous.” For nearly 20 years, Hamas has smuggled enormous quantities of weapons and building materials through and under the Philadelphi Corridor, significantly advancing the […]
Mohamed Saad Khiralla Israel Hayom, June 16, 2024 “… only Gaza remains “the golden magic card” that ensures Cairo’s influence and sustainable international role.” Before the terrorist events carried out by Hamas on October 7, Egypt’s economic situation was extremely deteriorated, unlike anything seen before. But now, things have changed drastically. It may seem […]

Michael Crowley New York Times, July 2, 2024 “No one actually wants a war,” Mr. Blinken said. He said that Iran, a determined foe of Israel, “wants to make sure that Hezbollah’s not destroyed and that it can hold onto Hezbollah as a card if it needs it, if it ever gets into a direct […]
Michael Oren Times of Israel, July 11, 2024 “Israel is losing the north, but the loss will not be of land alone. Endangered, too, is the state’s commitment to defend all of our citizens irrespective of their place of residence, to preserve our precious human and natural resources, and to deter our enemies.” In contrast […]

Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, July 10, 2024 “… the failure of deterrence with Hamas Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar does not mean deterrence never works and cannot work with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.” The conventional wisdom since late winter has been that war between Israel and Hezbollah is imminent and that there is no other way to […]
Judith Miller Tablet, July 16, 2024 “A 5-kilometer swatch of Israel in the north has effectively been rendered uninhabitable by Israel’s foes without occupation.” Israel faces a conundrum to which there is no easily discernible, sustainable solution: how best to counter the growing strategic threat posed by Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite terrorist group that runs […]

Elizabeth Rosner CNN, July 13, 2024 “I often feel unable to manage my conflicting feelings about forgiveness when it comes to overt cruelty.” Sometime in late April, the Jewish cemetery in upstate New York where both of my parents are buried was vandalized. Close to 100 gravestones, almost all with Hebrew lettering on one or both sides, […]
David Mamet Jewish Journal, July 3, 2024 “The Diaspora meme; “I’m Jewish, but I’m not that Jewish,” has, again, been corrected by a mob’s screaming, “Yes. You are.”” Marilyn Monroe was one of the screen’s great clowns. Her schtick, though tagged as sexual or provocative was actually an affectionate send-up of sexuality. Woody’s screen […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, July 11, 2024 “… as Owens has again taught us, not everyone who decries the dead hand of liberal groupthink is a principled dissenter or honest observer. Antisemitic conspiracy theories are always the last refuge of media con artists.” There is a good argument to be made that the […]
