Erfan Fard Israel Hayom, Aug. 26, 2024 “One of the most glaring issues facing the regime is its inability to accurately assess different scenarios and their potential consequences.” In recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has faced a series of escalating confrontations with Israel that have left the regime humiliated and increasingly vulnerable. […]
Jonathan Spyer Middle East Forum, Aug. 26, 2024 “Tehran’s desire now to preserve its assets and return the focus to the campaigns of attrition it prefers will have been well noted by both friend and foe.” Hezbollah’s response to the killing of senior official Fuad Shukr, when it finally came, was a more minor event […]

Love him or loathe […]
Liat Collins Jerusalem Post, Aug. 25, 2024 “The perception of Netanyahu was that he was a complex and difficult-to-understand man – but that was the narrative of those who didn’t know him and didn’t work closely with him. He was an alpha male who was perfect for the job of prime minister …” My Brother’s […]
Gadi Taub JNS, Aug. 8, 2024 “There’s them, and there’s us. Them: A strange combination of nationalist fanatics, an ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionist leadership, corrupt, power-hungry people who breed those who will run over protesters. Less than 20% of the public.

Gerard Baker WSJ, Aug. 26, 2024 “Its centerpiece was the semifictional self portrait of the presidential candidate herself.” You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
