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.

Embracing collaborative opportunities with India cannot wait for “the day after.”
