With a deep understanding of the region, he delivers insightful commentary that challenges media bias and provides a clear perspective on Israel.

Iran views its failed April mass aerial attack as signaling the replacement of “Strategic Patience” with a policy of direct retaliation against Israel.
According to JINSA’s Jonathan Ruhe, the U.K. and U.S. “don’t want to assume any more risk in the Middle East, and their thinking appears to be that they could still avert, or at least avoid, a major Israel-Hezbollah war.”
The U.S. is not going to attack and forestall a nuclear-armed Tehran, says Israel expert.
Israel ignoring Hezbollah “appears to have been a colossal strategic blunder, the cost of which could even dwarf that of Oct. 7,” says JINSA expert.
Tehran aims to sacrifice Palestinian blood and destroy Palestinian land, Mahmoud Abbas’s office said.
The recent rulings by the ICC and ICJ are not intended to affect Israel’s behavior but are rather part of an “international propaganda campaign” to weaken the Jewish state, expert tells JNS.
The Biden administration’s warnings that an IDF incursion into the city would cause a great number of civilian casualties are being proven wrong.
The Islamic Republic “already has nuclear-capable ballistic and cruise missiles,” JINSA director tells JNS.
The U.S. government is sourcing its information from “radical extremist organizations” that work to destroy the Jewish state.
The United States “has almost never supported Israeli offensives—not in 1948, 1967 and 1982, nor against Hezbollah and Hamas,” Michael Oren tells JNS.
In the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre, Israel-Turkey relations have once again become the scapegoat of Turkish domestic politics, expert tells JNS.
While the United States is expected to veto the Palestinian Authority’s U.N. membership bid, the administration has signaled this may not be the case.
