David Wurmser Center for Security Policy, Jan. 22, 2024 “The current leader of that party, Benjamin “Benny” Gantz, probably wants to stay in the unity coalition, but the U.S. and its most comfortable allies on Israel’s left side of the political spectrum see Gadi Eisenkot, who is Gantz’ deputy in the Blue-White Party, as the structure […]
Caroline B. Glick World Israel News, Jan. 19, 2024 “Blinken insists that Israel cannot win a military victory in Gaza. As Mitchell put it, “Blinken told Netanyahu that ultimately there is no military solution to Hamas … and that the Israeli leader needs to recognize that or history will repeat itself and violence will continue.” […]
Herb Keinon Jerusalem Post, Jan. 21, 2024 “… for the vast majority of Israelis right now, talking about a two-state solution – while the hostages are still being held, while Israel is fighting on various fronts, and while Palestinian polls are giving Hamas a staggering amount of support in the West Bank – is just […]
P. David Hornik Times of Israel, Jan. 22, 2024 “If you ask an average Israeli now about his or her mental state, nobody in his right mind is willing now to think about what will be the solution of the peace agreements, because everybody wants to know: Can we be promised real safety in the […]

Bret Stephens NY Times, Jan. 16, 2024 “If Israel were trying to commit genocide, it wouldn’t be putting its soldiers at risk or allowing humanitarian relief to arrive from Egypt or withdrawing many of its forces from Gaza. It would simply be killing Palestinians everywhere, in vastly greater numbers, as Germans killed Jews or Hutus […]
Yehudah Mirsky Unherd, Jan. 17, 2024 “Hypocrisy is at work here, of course, but that is almost trivially beside the point. Genocide is more than a justifiably hideous characterisation: as a legal category, as rhetoric and policy framing, it is a doomsday weapon of epic proportions. It is, in its heightening ignominy to the nth […]
Roi Yanovsky Ynet News, Jan. 15, 2024 “Military infrastructure can be found in every single neighborhood we were in. Weapons, tunnels, explosive charges and launchpads are all conveniently located inside residential buildings, some of which are equipped with holes in the walls so the transition between the various structures is seamless.” After 100 days in […]
Netael Bandel Israel Hayom, Jan. 16, 2024 “… not only is there no basis for a decision establishing suspicion of genocide, but in practical terms, it actually undermines the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
