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.” […]

Jonathan Spyer The Spectator, Aug. 3, 2024 “Is Israel prepared to up the ante to the point of regional war?” Following the killings of Hezbollah’s Fuad Shukr and Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh, Israel and the Middle East are poised and waiting for the next move. The two killings represent a significant humiliation for the Iran-led […]
Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, Aug. 5, 2024 “Taking out Haniyeh while he was in Tehran was an unmistakable signal to disabuse Iran of the notion that it has immunity when it uses proxies to harm Israel.” In a dizzying three weeks, Israel has assassinated three titans of terror (though only officially taking credit for […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Aug. 2, 2024 “Although there is no reason to expect the current U.S. administration, which for rhetorical convenience I will call “Petunia,” to take any effective action in the Middle East crises of 2024, there are actions the U.S. could take that would do some good.” As usual, late-breaking news […]

Yaakov Lappin JNS, Aug. 1, 2024 “Israel is basically implementing here the Munich Olympics revenge [program] that took about a decade to assassinate all those who were involved in the Munich ’72 massacre. So Israel opted to do the same to all these that were involved in the 7 October attack, and the killing, burning, […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, July 31, 2024 “It was Haniyeh and his movement that ‘escalated’ tensions in the Middle East when they green-lighted the rape, kidnap and murder of more than a thousand people in Israel on 7 October. Assassinating the racist killers of Jews is not escalation – it’s justice.” Forget ‘centrist dads’, there’s […]
