Americans and Israelis see the merit of the Iran war effort very differently.
The Knesset broadly approves the shutting down the work of an organization that has been an active partner of Hamas.
Hezbollah has emerged as the great energizer of the Israeli spirit—not by design but by the impact our soldiers have been able to inflict upon them.
Our leaders must understand the implications of not prioritizing the recovery of the north of Israel.
The conflict in Israel’s north and the displacement of tens of thousands cannot continue indefinitely. Something has to give.
It is inconceivable that all of the opposition to the current government is just about new elections or even replacing the prime minister.
The incessant attacks by Hezbollah on Israel’s north are devastating.
We have severely compromised our autonomy and mobility due to our longtime dependence on others.
The partisan protests against the government only serve Hamas’s interests.
