Editorial Board WSJ, May 1, 2025 “Mr. Waltz has been vilified for demanding that Iran dismantle its nuclear program or risk military means to do so.” Mike Waltz is out as President Trump’s national-security adviser, and the race to replace him is on while Secretary of State Marco Rubio does double duty in the interim.

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 26, 2025 “… once the president admitted the error, that was effectively the end of the story, despite the interest of left-wing media to keep it alive.” It was the gaffe that critics of the Trump administration have been praying for. However it happened, the inclusion of Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in a […]
Nathan Klabin/The Media Line english.alarabiya.net Mar. 24, 2025 “By blaming Iran for the Houthis’ attacks, Trump is drawing a direct line between Iran’s regional ambitions and the broader security concerns of the international community.” Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated significantly in recent weeks, partly due to the involvement of Yemen’s Houthi […]

Lahav Harkov Jewish Insider, Feb. 6, 2025 “… if there are a few small fish with problematic views for Israel, we can deal with it. All the senior people support Israel very much.

“I tend to agree Trump has opened a negotiation with this volley. But what he’s done with it is put down a marker that transcends what the tool itself (chip, incentive, disincentive, etc) is about. His message loud and clear is that the US is taking this situation on as a national interest, and negotiations will […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Feb. 6, 2025 “I emphatically don’t think he is writing guarantees for Israel’s behavior. The guarantee he’s writing is that Israel’s stake in the question is under our protection.

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Feb. 6, 2025 “It’s a nonstarter because all of these groups are still holding on to the idea that it must be preserved as a bastion of anti-Zionist irredentism.

John Podhoretz Commentary, Feb. 5, 2025 “Yesterday, Trump asserted the will of the United States as the world’s most powerful, richest, most influential, and most dominant nation in saying something must be done about Gaza, here’s what needs to be done, here’s who’s going to pay for it, and here’s who’s going to manage it […]
