Shalom Yerushalmi Times of Israel, Feb. 3, 2025 “This is no longer just the outgoing Biden administration, focused overwhelmingly on the hostage deal. It is about the geostrategic vision of the new administration, continuing alongside or in parallel with the hostage deal.

Smadar Perry Ynet News, Jan. 20, 2025 “. . . anti-Israel propaganda continues to flow in Egypt with venom that could be described as lethal, while Al Jazeera’s inflammatory coverage enrages Qatari citizens.” As the Qatar-brokered hostage deal takes shape and three hostages have been reunited with their families, it’s hard to forget the “Gentleman […]
