Gerard Baker WSJ, July 1, 2024 “But now, 42 months (and 81 years) in, it is going horribly wrong. Much of his party has no use for him anymore. They are trying desperately to jettison him and, in a remarkably cynical act of bait-and-switch, swap him out for someone more useful to their cause.” There […]

Peled Arbeli Jerusalem Post, June 27, 2024 “They came to the conclusion that Israel should be dragged into the war and not into another operation in Gaza. But it was clear to them that this war should have two conditions: first, there will be no distinct Iranian signature; second, it will be difficult and long […]
Jacob Olidort The National Interest, June 25, 2024 “From the perspective of this end state of fostering planning paralysis, Israel’s objective of eradicating Hamas in Gaza not only eliminates a fundamental security threat but also rids Iran of a proxy on Israel’s doorstep, thereby complicating Iran’s efforts to attack Israel while diminishing Iran’s footprint in […]
Seth Cropsey WSJ, June 25, 2024 “By manipulating the U.S. into restraining Israel, Iran hopes to keep Israel frozen and slowly erode its will. At some point in the coming months, Iran expects a cease-fire that will allow it to capture the West Bank and threaten Israel’s existence.” Israel faces a strategic choice with […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, June 26, 2024 “Overall, the pattern is clear. Iran is operationalizing these multiple fronts against Israel.

Jonathan Spyer, Middle East Forum, June 24, 2024 “Despite the efforts of both the US and France, progress in this area has been elusive.

Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, June 24, 2024 “Nasrallah’s goal is to ground Israeli aircraft to prevent them from conducting missions in Lebanon against mid- and long-range missile launchers.” Hizbullah, under the leadership of Hassan Nasrallah, is coordinating with Iran to open a new front against Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. The […]
David Daoud and Jonathan Schanzer The Dispatch, June 20, 2024 “… the international community’s fixation on futile deals has only whetted Hezbollah’s appetite for violence.” Let’s not mince words: The Middle East is on the precipice of the most destructive war of the region’s modern history. This war did not begin on October 7. It actually began […]
Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, June 24, 2024 “Rogue or not, Brown said what many American officials are authentically feeling and thinking right now, and that is why there will be no retraction.” It should be said from the outset that US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown has been a friend of […]
Nahal Toosi, Erin Banco and Lara Seligman Politico, June 24, 2024 “This time, however, the Israelis appear more dug in, though it’s possible that the U.S. could affect what type and size of operation they undertake.” U.S. officials trying to prevent a bigger Middle East war are issuing an unusual warning to Hezbollah: Don’t assume […]

Zvi Hauser Israel Hayom, June 19, 2024 “The defense establishment estimates that defeating Hamas, in an optimistic scenario, will take only two or three years.” After yet another failure in the ongoing negotiations between Israel and Hamas regarding the release of captives, it’s clear that there is a fundamental disconnect between the two sides’ […]
Stephen Kalin and Anat Peled WSJ, June 24, 2024 “We don’t want to see what we’ve seen in Gaza City and what we’ve seen in Khan Younis, which is the end of major combat operation and then the beginning of Hamas reasserting control and reasserting activity in those areas.” As Israel nears the end of major […]
