Glick JNS, Aug. 16, 2024 “Netanyahu’s fears of U.S. leaks were based on his experience with the Obama administration.” On Wednesday, Fox News and The Jerusalem Post ran stories based on a report from Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper claiming that the U.S. had revealed to Iranian authorities the identities of 10 Mossad agents in Iran who allegedly were involved in the July […]

Why are We Playing by Iran’s Rules?

/

Seth Mandel Commentary, Aug. 15, 2024 “Essentially, Mideast regional diplomacy is a relic from another era.” On the surface, it makes sense that Amos Hochstein spent the lead-up to this week’s ceasefire negotiations in Lebanon.

/

Louis Rene Beres JNS, Aug. 12, 2024 “What should Israeli strategic planners conclude? In part, at least, the answer depends on their view of Iran’s reciprocal judgments of Israel’s leaders.” During its impending war with Iran, Israel’s overriding objective should be to keep that jihadist enemy non-nuclear.

We ‘Don’t Negotiate with Terrorists,’ But We Legitimize Them

Adi Nirman Israel Hayom, July 29, 2024 “Was 9/11 carried out by al-Qaida militants or terrorists? Would you describe the Taliban merely as an “Islamic movement”? Terrorists are terrorists, it doesn’t “depend on the context.” When searching for “Hamas” on Google, the world’s unlimited information source, the first description that appears is “Palestinian militant group.” […]
