Opinion
Hamas rolls the dice ... again
Lives are at stake—either those of the soldiers or those of citizens. Only Hamas plays with the death of its people as if it were its property.

Opinion

Trump, Netanyahu
Opinion
Judging good guys (and bad guys) by their actions
What is the senseless radicalization that characterizes the mutual attitude of disdain towards U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, given also the fact that the two men couldn’t be more different?

Senior Contributor
When terrorists call for no more war, it’s because they ran out of money
Yahya Sinwar is a man who has literally killed with his own hands those he suspected of being collaborators with Israel, and who is quoted as saying “we will tear out Israeli hearts from their bodies.”

Opinion
Putin plays a double game
In the wake of a downed spy plane, the fact that Israel is worried means that the United States will be, too, and that tensions between America and Russia may intensify.

Opinion
The end of Mahmoud Abbas, the phony pacifist
From the moment he became head of the Palestinian Authority in 2005, Abbas failed to maneuver a single strategic victory, despite the fact that Israeli leaders (one after the other) have repeatedly invited him to the negotiating table for peace talks.

Opinion
Trump opens door for talks with Iran to isolate the ayatollahs
The U.S. president’s announcement that he’s willing to meet with Iran’s leaders has created serious difficulties for them, as his goal is to stop Iran’s imperialist designs and its clear intent to create a nuclear bomb.
