Reports of the arrest in Egypt of terrorists affiliated with Hasm—the armed wing of the Muslim Brotherhood—serve as a timely reminder that Israel should use to underscore to the Egyptians that the common enemy, including Hamas, remains very much present. Daily thought - Col.…
The vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on an initiative by Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–GA), an extreme isolationist who makes no secret of her hostility toward Israel and the Jewish people, was overwhelmingly defeated by a margin of 422 to 6. Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…
In the wake of “Operation Sindoor,” India’s growing presence in the Eastern Mediterranean is taking on new strategic importance—presenting fresh opportunities for Israel. New article by Dr. Oshrit Birvadker @birvadker & Dr. @EranLerman, now available on our JISS website:…
"אם לא היה לנו את המחויבות כלפי הדרוזים הישראלים אני הייתי חושב שאסור לנו להתערב. זה מזכיר לי מה שאמרו לנו בתחילת מלחמת האזרחים בסוריה אמרו: "בואו נתערב ונקבע מי ינצח", ואני אמרתי: "אנחנו נתערב, אני לא בטוח שנקבע מי ינצח... כשאתה נכנס לקן צרעות, אתה פוגש הרבה צרעות". הקשיבו…
"הדרוזים הם לא מיעוט מוכר, נסבל על ידי האסלאם, לא על ידי האימפריות הסוניות וגם לא האימפריות השיעיות... הם ממש כת מנודה מבחינה תיאולוגית ומבחינה משפטית". צפו בדבריו של פרופ' הלל פריש @hilfri במסגרת דיון (וובינר) שערכנו על ההתפתחויות האחרונות בסוריה. לצפייה בוובינר המלא:…
The narrative Khamenei is trying to sell to his own people is a grotesque caricature, a complete inversion of reality: Israel as a ship of rats, about to sink under a barrage of Iranian missiles, saved only by American intervention. If he and his cronies truly begin to believe…
#Syria’s Jihadist leader #al-Sharaa has praised the “noble values” of those massacring the #Druze. He has yet to be condemned by @antonioguterres or by @EmmanuelMacron. Israel shall continue to protect the Druze and other victims of Jihad.

Israel’s commitment to the Druze in Syria carries strategic significance, as well as moral and emotional value. Throughout the region, supporting one’s allies is a source of long-term strength. Israel must also do what it can to counter troubling trends affecting Syria’s…
The reports that Germany, France, and Britain intend to ask the UN to activate the sanctions snapback mechanism against Iran are an important development. The time gained through military action must now be fully leveraged to exert unprecedented pressure - forcing Iran to comply…
Israel’s “Operation Rising Lion” has fundamentally shattered the previous paradigm of a lengthy shadow war with Iran. By demonstrating an unprecedented ability to project continuous force deep into Iranian territory, achieve air superiority, and systematically dismantle core…
I explained on @nhk_news why Israel's strikes on Iran were both justified and efficient, and why diplomacy has always failed to block countries that wanted a nuclear bomb from obtaining it.
"Israel has managed to remove two strategic threats emanating from Iran, namely nuclear weapons and even more - ballistic missiles. Israel's goal never included a regime change or toppling of the Iranian regime simply because it is impossible". Watch Iran expert & JISS member…
