SHABBAT READING LISTEN: Tetzaveh / Shabbat Zachor: Tablet, Mar. 5, 2025 — In this week’s parsha, the Torah delivers detailed instructions about the priestly garments, but because it’s the Shabbat before the holiday of Purim, we also revisit the ancient commandment not to forget the evils of Amalek.

Michael Rubin Middle East Journal, Mar. 3, 2025 “That Turkey seeks nuclear power is no secret. Turkey will begin operating its Russia-built Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant this year.” Why does Turkey remain in NATO? Ideologically, Turkey stands alone. It is an Islamist state and dictatorship in an association of democracies. Geopolitically, Turkey has more in […]

Yossi Yehoshua Ynet News, Mar. 1, 2025 “Israel views these developments as a direct threat and is working to thwart them, preferring Russian dominance in Syria over Turkish influence.” As tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky escalated to unprecedented levels on Friday, Israel is quietly reassessing its own strategic […]

If you don’t want […]
Benoit Faucon and Summer Said WSJ, Mar. 5, 2025 “Crucially, the proposal includes few details about ridding Gaza of Hamas’s armed militants, who held sway for a decade and a half before the war.” The White House has rejected an Arab plan for rebuilding the Gaza Strip, an early indication of the strength of President […]
Vivian Yee NY Times, Mar. 5, 2025 “Another fundamental impasse centers on the issue of Palestinian statehood. The Arab countries’ calls for establishing a Palestinian state are almost certain to run headlong into Israeli objections.” When President Trump said last month that he wanted to move all of Gaza’s roughly two million residents out of the […]
Dennis Ross and Assaf Orion National Interest, Feb. 28, 2025 “Arab states would not have to take on Hamas directly but would be asked to contribute to security, rehabilitation, and investment in the areas that are free of Hamas.” President Trump transformed the general thinking about Gaza and the day after with his call for […]
