Lazar Berman Times of Israel, Feb. 5, 2025 “If Netanyahu continues his approach of backing Trump’s ideas to stay in his good graces, he could undermine Israel’s alliances with Jordan and Egypt, with nothing to show for it.” As is often the case with Donald Trump, there were plenty of headline-worthy statements that came out […]

Alex Traiman JNS, Feb. 5, 2025 “I believe, Mr. President, that your willingness to puncture conventional thinking that his failed time and time again, and today, your willingness to think outside the box with fresh ideas. … You cut to the chase; you see things others refuse to see.” U.S. President Donald Trump, sitting alongside […]
Shachar Kleiman Israel Hayom, Feb. 5, 2025 “The current hysteria echoes the paranoia surrounding Trump’s previous “Deal of the Century” initiative, which his administration promoted during its first term.” President Trump’s remarks triggered a barrage of denunciations from Hamas.

Dennis Ross and David Makovsky Foreign Affairs, Feb. 3, 2025 “Netanyahu, of course, cares more about staying prime minister than he does about pleasing Trump. But there is one issue on which Netanyahu may be willing to risk his government and face an election: Iran and its nuclear program.” Donald Trump begins his presidency with […]
Danny Zaken Israel Hayom, Jan. 22, 2025 “Israel is the US proxy in the mission to overthrow the Iranian regime,” he asserted, clarifying that “Israel will need to act independently, as Trump will not proactively deploy American troops in the Middle East – it goes against his principles as a president of peace.” In the […]

“To me, bringing the Accords to bear as an organizing framework for reconstituting Gaza is what the Abraham Accords were conceived for. They are supposed to meet that kind of challenge and purpose. They’re the antidote to the persistent dysfunction of radicalism seizing the Middle East by the short hairs and giving it perpetual whiplash.” – J.E. Dyer […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Jan.27, 2025 “I’ve been expecting him to invoke the Abraham Accords in relation to the war in Gaza, because that’s his foundational commitment for U.S. policy in the Middle East.” There’s no question President Trump disappointed a whole lot of people and lost a lot of momentum with some supporters […]

However, the implementation of the plan requires a “Palestinian invitation.” *** Trump’s Vision: War with […]
A.J. Caschetta National Review, Jan. 19, 2025 “Blinken’s Foreign Affairs curtain bow has one single dispassionate mention of the hostages being held in Gaza but not a hint of righteous anger over their abduction. Nor is there any indication that he is as dedicated to the release of those hostages as he is to forcing an Israeli […]
