Op-ed: Trying to pierce the fog of war has been spectacularly difficult ever since Hamas triggered almost 20 months of conflict. Israeli defeatism on the second battlefield isn’t helping timesofisrael.com/whos-shooting-…
Op-ed - A war that metastasized: How Israel made itself responsible for Gaza, and for all the death and destruction there timesofisrael.com/how-israel-mad… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Six insights as we reemerge into the light timesofisrael.com/while-we-were-…
Iran was a decision and a few weeks away from nuclear weapons. But unlike Gaza 2023, Israel had been watching timesofisrael.com/israel-was-fac… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: With those three strikes on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities, Trump might also just have helped save humanity. But he and only he will decide if and when he needs to do it again timesofisrael.com/when-the-us-pr… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: The more we learn, the clearer it becomes that Israel struck in the nick of time timesofisrael.com/how-close-was-… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Domestic and global criticism of the war is growing. So, too, the US president’s impatience. Aid supply is chaotic, often deadly. The far right is bent on permanent reoccupation. Netanyahu is focused on his own survival timesofisrael.com/as-the-idf-dee… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Direct talks with Hamas, confused dealings with Iran, an unworkable vision for Gaza and now a truce with the Houthis, all uncoordinated with Netanyahu. Without evident influence, Israel must hope there is much yet to be revealed timesofisrael.com/his-first-term… via @timesofisrael
As Israel approaches Yom HaZikaron, the Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terror, please check out @TimesofIsrael’s Those We Have Lost project, with entries on over 1,100 individuals killed by Hamas-led terrorists on Oct.7, 2023.
Op-ed: More than 18 months into Israel’s effort to destroy Hamas in Gaza and secure the return of all the hostages, the terrible truth is that neither of those goals is close to being realized timesofisrael.com/the-never-endi… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Khamenei must be laughing into his beard timesofisrael.com/know-your-enem…
Op-ed: Netanyahu rightly denounced the 2015 JCPOA, and persuaded Trump to withdraw from it; now the president is trying diplomacy again, backed by dark threats that won’t scare Tehran timesofisrael.com/a-deal-is-pref…
Op-ed: Insane doesn’t begin to cover it. timesofisrael.com/netanyahus-aid… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Israel cannot afford the “luxury” of bitter infighting as its enemies circle. The US political climate can overheat, but America’s physical existence is not imperiled. Mexico and Canada are not plotting invasions... timesofisrael.com/happening-now-…
Op-ed: Concerns extend widely - especially, but by no means only, to the families of hostages - regarding Netanyahu's motivations in ordering the resumed campaign, now, in the context of everything else he is doing timesofisrael.com/resumed-war-so… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Tellingly, Netanyahu did not cite the Oct. 7 failures as cause for Bar's dismissal. That would have heightened the focus on his own refusal to take personal responsibility for the horrors that Hamas perpetrated on his watch timesofisrael.com/with-move-to-f… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Do in Qatar today what you have already proved once that you can do — finalize the terms of a deal, the best deal you can, to get the hostages out of hell timesofisrael.com/steve-witkoff-…
Op-ed: Asked whether he “realistically” thinks “that Hamas would eventually agree to lay down its weapons and not be part of Gaza’s political future,” he answered without hesitation: “I do believe that.” timesofisrael.com/meet-adam-boeh… via @timesofisrael
Op-ed: Yarden Bibas urged Netanyahu — the PM under whose watch a disaster beyond any conceivable personal scale befell him — to accompany him when he returns for the first time to his home, to the very scene of the unthinkable tragedy timesofisrael.com/why-netanyahu-… via @timesofisrael
