Daniel Pipes WSJ, July 31, 2024 “For nearly 10 months, Mr. Netanyahu equivocated between victory and hostages.” Israel followed two opposite policies toward Hamas since Oct. 7: destroy the organization and make a deal with it. This unfortunate two-track approach resulted in many costs to Israel. The killing of Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday perhaps marks […]

Lazar Berman Times of Israel, Aug. 1, 2024 “The leader of Hamas abroad, [hitherto] Haniyeh, plays a central role in the mobilization of resources for Hamas, in representing the organization, in political outreach, in building its military power. In fact, this is what transforms Hamas from a local terrorist organization into a movement with regional […]
Jake Wallis Simons The Telegraph, July 31, 2024 “The Iranians are boxed in. The law of the region dictates that they will need to mount a response. But dare they provoke Netanyahu further?” Since October 7, Israel has had one geostrategic imperative: to reinstate deterrence. In the Middle East – and increasingly in Ukraine and […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, July 31, 2024 “They should be pursued because the goal of Israel in this conflict should be to win it, rather than to merely survive another day while holding onto the vain hope that gentle reason, international mediation or concessions by Jerusalem will achieve peace. Peace may one day be […]
Debbie Weiss Algemeiner, July 31, 2024 “Yadlin pointed out that the assassination occurred in Iran rather than Qatar, emphasizing that the choice was likely made to avoid jeopardizing ongoing hostage negotiations.” The assassination of exiled Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has sent shock waves through the Palestinian terrorist organization and the broader Middle East but, on […]
Patrick Kingsley, Adam Rasgon, Farnaz Fassihi and Ronen Bergman NY Times, July 31, 2024 “Now, the focus is on how Hamas and Hezbollah will respond to the attacks on their leaders, how Iran will react to a strike within its territory and whether either reaction will lead to the outbreak of a wider war.” […]
Wilson Center, July 31, 2024 “The United States labeled him a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” in 2018.” Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the exiled wing of Hamas and its chief negotiator on issues of war and peace, was assassinated on July 31 during a visit to Tehran for the inauguration of President Masoud […]

Gadi Taub JNS, July 28, 2024 “Regional integration” is a progressive, postcolonial version of an old State Department bias. It assumes that America’s allies, especially Israel but now also the Saudis, are an unnecessary burden.” The media mostly discussed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s fourth speech before a joint session of the two houses […]
Jonathan Harounoff NY Post, July 27, 2024 “Nowhere would Trump and Harris diverge more than on addressing Tehran’s nuclear weapons program. A Harris administration, notes Jason Brodsky of the United Against Nuclear Iran watchdog, would focus on perpetuating a Biden-esque policy of concessionary soft diplomacy while attempting to revive a nuclear deal.” Kamala Harris […]
Antonio Graceffo Geopolitical Monitor, July 22, 2024 “The April 13 attack on Israel, where Iran launched 300 missiles and drones, suggests that Iran is more willing to risk triggering a war, increasing the potential shift toward nuclear weapons if attacked.” Iran’s military activity, support for terrorism, and advancements in nuclear capabilities were the central focus of […]
Chad Merlin Jerusalem Post, July 26, 2024 “… in my opinion, all of the above is just a diversionary tactic until they can reach the holy grail, which is a nuclear bomb. Then everything will change.” The Islamic Republic goes to great lengths to invest in influencing minds across the globe to act against Israel and […]

Nabih Bulos Los Angeles Times, July 26, 2024 “Paramount among the questions facing Hezbollah is how Israel managed to identify, track and kill top officers of the group, which has a reputation for high levels of operational security and discipline.” The first assassination took two tries. An Israeli drone fired a missile that hit […]
