Fiamma Nirenstein JNS, Aug. 8, 2025 “If the West cannot confront a genocidal Islamist movement after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, it forfeits its own moral standing.” It was an unusually candid moment. Speaking to a small group of journalists before Thursday night’s Security Cabinet meeting—a rare move in itself—Prime Minister Benjamin […]

Amit Segal Israel Hayom, Aug.7, 2025 “No one said this to me directly, but my impression is that the disagreement over how to bring down Hamas doesn’t just lie between the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet and the IDF chief of staff – it also exists between Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and chief of […]
Jonathan Lipow Times of Israel, Aug. 7, 2025 “… it is vital that Israel win this war, and frankly, the only way to do so is to isolate Hamas from Gaza’s civilian population. There are three options for doing that – and all of them are bad. One option, however, is clearly better than […]
Meir Ben Shabbat Israel Hayom, Aug. 11, 2025 “The cabinet’s decision suffers from several key weaknesses.” The cabinet’s decision on the five conditions required for ending the war has effectively resolved the dispute over the preferred course of action, since these conditions can only be met through a full occupation of Gaza. However, clarifications and […]

Nitzan Cohen Israel Hayom, Aug. 6, 2025 “Beyond the initial spending, the annual cost of maintaining full control over Gaza is estimated at between 60 and 130 billion shekels ($17.4 to $37.6 billion).” So how much will it cost? Attempts to clarify the expected financial burden on Israel by asserting sovereignty over the Gaza Strip […]
Ynet News, Aug. 6, 2025 “… the group had hidden about $700 million in cash inside tunnels before Oct. 7.” Despite being severely weakened since its deadly October 7 terror attack on Israeli communities, Hamas has continued paying salaries to its members through a clandestine, cash-based system. According to a BBC report published Wednesday, […]
Shachar Kleiman Israel Hayom, Aug. 1, 2025 “A year later, Hezbollah faces a historic crisis.” This marked the beginning of the avalanche. Nearly a year has passed since Hassan Nasrallah’s right-hand man was eliminated in Dahiyeh, Beirut. The strike against Fu’ad Shukr was an almost surreal event at the time. The IDF was responding […]
Michael Doran and Zineb Riboua WSJ, July 20, 2025 “The strikes on Bank Sepah and Nobitex undermined the regime’s legitimacy in the most intimate way: by denying loyal officials and security personnel access to their own money.” The 12-day war between Israel and Iran featured an unprecedented cyber campaign against the Islamic Republic’s financial system. Previous […]

Daniel Shuchman WSJ, Aug. 5, 2025 “Mr. Kors’s warnings about education have proved, if anything, understated. No wonder free rent and profitless prosperity resonate with a generation that knows little of collectivist calamities, or of what made unprecedented social and economic progress in capitalistic societies possible.” Why has socialism remained resilient as a political […]
