The Abraham Accords created a new reality: Arab states working openly with Israel to deliver aid, not wage blame games. Airdropping food isn’t a failure; it’s proof that even in war, regional ties can serve a higher purpose. Of course, more still needs to be done
What are Arab countries doing to pressure Israel to let aid into Gaza? What was the point of the "peace deal" Abraham Accords? To drop parcels of food on starving Palestinians instead of driving trucks of aid into them?
The holding of hostages by Hamas is an affront to human rights and stability. Policymakers worldwide should be urged to prioritize their immediate release and ensure accountability for those responsible. Every moment counts. #DemandHostageRelease
The families of Israeli hostages are stepping up pressure by organizing a press conference in D.C., exactly one year after Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to Congress, urging him to secure a deal to bring their loved ones home. @Mike_Wagenheim reports from D.C.
This move isn’t just about Gaza. It’s about shaping the postwar regional order, where normalization, containment of Iran, and redefining Palestinian governance are on the table. jpost.com/israel-news/de…
Every setback in Gaza ceasefire talks reminds us: peace requires more than mediators. It needs Hamas to stop using civilians as leverage.
🚨🚨Crisis in the Gaza ceasefire talks. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announces that "in light of Hamas' response to the proposal, it has been decided to recall the negotiation team from Doha for further consultations in Israel. “We appreciate the efforts of the mediators,…
A silent shift in the Golan Heights: Over 1,000 Druze residents have applied for Israeli citizenship in just the first half of 2025—double last year’s pace and a clear sign of changing tides.

Hamas’ ceasefire proposal didn’t even make it past the mediators. Sent back for being unserious
Sources to i24NEWS @AmichaiStein1 : Gaza war mediators decline to deliver to Israel Hamas’ response calling it 'not serious.' It was sent back to Hamas for revision
A rare rebuke from one of Gaza’s top religious authorities. Calling out Hamas for sacrificing an entire population for its own power. The cracks inside are real and growing.
Prof. Dr. Salman Al-Daya, former Dean of Sharia and Law at the Islamic University of Gaza and Gaza’s top religious authority, issued a statement condemning Hamas politicians, leaders, and scholars for taking 2 million people hostage to serve the interests of their movement. The…
Ramallah is signaling it wants to be seen as a useful player, not just a bystander. The PA is testing a new relevance with Washington.
🇺🇸🇵🇸The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, met today in Ramallah with Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh and discussed the situation in Gaza and the West Bank 🚨Why it matters: This is the first time that senior Palestinian Authority officials have agreed to host…
The end of a chapter, not the end of the story. The Muslim Brotherhood dissolving itself in Jordan is a major move, but its ideas still live on across the region.

Hamas has brought nothing but ruin to the Palestinian people. Yet it still bargains for its leaders’ safety, its cash, and its power. Never for its people. That’s not “resistance”. It’s betrayal.
In the anti-Hamas protest today in Khan Yunis, Gaza, crowds chanted curses against Hamas’s negotiations team.

Hezbollah says it learned of Oct 7 only after the attack began. Limited escalation was deliberate—full war meant U.S. involvement
בריאיון לערוץ אל-מיאדין הלבנוני, מנהיגה של חיזבאללה, השייח' נעים קאסם, מספק פרטים מעניינים מאוד על השתלשלות העניינים בשבעה באוקטובר. לדברי קאסם, רק חצי שעה לאחר שהתחילה מתקפת השבעה באוקטובר, חמאס יצר קשר עם נסראללה ועדכן אותו על המתקפה, וכי הארגון לא ידע עליה קודם. קאסם אומר כי…
A Syria-Israel track would redraw the post-Oct 7 map
Netanyahu: There is an opportunity to explore in Syria. Iran is out of the picture. It could increase stability and security. There is a lot to gain for Syria from moving towards peace with Israel
Syria-Israel peace by end of 2025? If true, it’s not just historic, it is a geopolitical earthquake. i24news.tv/en/news/israel…
The US has acted — not for war, but for peace. Iran’s nuclear blackmail had to end. No regime that threatens the region and the world with annihilation can be allowed to enrich uranium. This is strength. This is leadership.

Very well said by the VP
Look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue: First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that…

For more than a decade, Egypt and Israel maintained robust security coordination focused on ISIS cells in the Sinai peninsula. That cooperation, mostly kept out of the media, now faces its most serious challenge, writes @HaisamHassanei1: fdd.org/analysis/op_ed…
