Yair Lapid Times of Israel, Aug. 19, 2024 “By what moral code should Israel accept rocket barrages from terrorist organizations and rogue states?” Twelve innocent children were killed by Hezbollah at a soccer field in northern Israel. The next day I visited the site. Bloodstained bicycles were still strewn on the ground. I […]

Alex Winston Jerusalem Post, Aug. 20, 2024 “Iran is not in a position to fight Israel. They emphasized that ‘even if we launch an attack, we should immediately consider a ceasefire with international mediators.’” Iran is in no position to fight a long-term war with Israel and even asked the US […]

Frederick Krantz Col. (Res.) Gur Laisch’s “The Long War Phenomenon” (BESA Center) is an important piece, offering a window into the strategic thinking of at least one component of Israel’s military intelligence sector. It explains one rationale for recurrent and seemingly defeatist media references of some Israeli military figures who note that Hamas “cannot […]

“Do these judgments suggest a leadership in Jerusalem that believes in the potential net benefits of a measured nuclear retaliation? Or do they suggest a leadership in Jerusalem that believes such a reprisal would bring upon Israel variously intolerable levels of conventional Iranian destruction? And is the leadership in Tehran expectedly rational?” – Louis Rene Beres […]

Michael Oren The Free Press, Aug. 15, 2024 “Hamas head Yahya Sinwar wants nothing more than a regional conflict that would draw the remaining Israeli troops from Gaza and vastly increase international pressure on the Jewish state.” For more than two weeks, Israelis have been waiting for war. Immediately after the July 31 assassination of […]
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. Hochstein, a presidential advisor on energy, is also President Biden’s envoy to most multi-party negotiations involving the U.S. and Lebanon. Hezbollah […]
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. The best way to meet this objective will […]

Laurence Norman and Michael R. Gordon WSJ, Aug. 9, 2024 “Driving the change in the new intelligence assessment is scientific and engineering research work that Iran has been doing over the past year.” Iran is pursuing research that has put it in a better position to launch a nuclear-weapons program, according to a new […]

Dr. Dan Dyker Jerusalem Center for Public Policy, Aug. 8, 2024 “These methods of misinformation are part of a trend of mobilizing and exploiting advanced “perception warfare” alongside Iranian-backed Hizbullah and Hamas terrorism, which has intensified since the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.” Hamas’s cognitive war against Israel since its October 7 invasion has […]
David M. Weinberg MSN, Aug. 3, 2024 “Israel’s strategic goals have become too limited in recent decades, hamstrung by the failed Oslo peace process with Palestinians and the failed Obama peace process with Iranians.” October 7 (Hamas’s invasion of Israel) and April 14 (Iran’s missile attack on Israel) demand that Jerusalem free itself from stale strategic paradigms. The […]

OFFENSE MEASURES It’s Not a Border. It’s a Front.: Brig. Gen. (res.) Eran Ortal, BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,290, Aug. 5, 2024 — Israel’s traditional security concept consisted of a defensive strategy based on mainly offensive tactics. ‘Allah Vult’: Sinwar’s Hamas between Islamist Messianism and Hardline Convictions – Analysis: Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, Aug. 7, 2024 –– On […]

Seth Mandel Commentary, Aug. 6, 2024 “… the elevation of Sinwar isn’t itself unusual, but it wasn’t the plan and it puts all the hats on one man’s head.” Yahya Sinwar has been named the new head of Hamas’s political division, and congratulations are in order—mostly for Israel, which can see in Sinwar’s promotion the […]
