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 […]
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 […]
