As the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip rages, Emannuel Macron, the president of France, has been speaking from both sides of his mouth, undermining the clarity and sincerity of his vision. On a “solidarity” visit to Tel Aviv on October 24, just two weeks after Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 Israelis and foreigners in southern […]
Several days before Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was due to deliver his first speech on Israel’s current war with Hamas, commentators were abuzz with speculation that he might foolishly announce an escalation of Hezbollah’s low-intensity conflict with Israel along the Lebanese border. On November 3, much to Hamas’ disappointment, Nasrallah lowered the temperature, in accordance […]
To Israel’s detriment, global public opinion is shifting toward the Palestinians, nearly one month after Hamas ignited the fifth and most destructive border war in the Gaza Strip. Israel garnered a great deal of international sympathy in the wake of Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7, which claimed the lives of 1,400 Israelis and foreigners […]
Over the past decade, the Israeli government cultivated and nurtured cordial bilateral relations with Russia and China, two authoritarian states that have been at odds with the United States and the West in recent years, and that were hostile to Israel prior to the 1990s. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was the preeminent proponent […]
Israel’s reconciliation process with Turkey has taken an enormous hit as the war in the Gaza Strip escalates.

Three weeks after Hamas terrorists murdered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel in the most audacious and devastating terrorist attack since Israel’s statehood, the Israeli armed forces have finally stormed into the Gaza Strip.

The current humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip can be primarily pinned on Hamas, the rejectionist Palestinian organization whose bands of amoral terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7. In ferociously responding to this massacre, the worst single attack on Jews since the Holocaust and Israel’s darkest day since statehood […]
While the Gaza Strip trembles to the sounds of loud explosions, the West Bank smoulders with pent-up emotions of resentment and hatred. Gaza is being reduced to rubble by Israeli air and artillery strikes in retaliation for the murderous onslaught by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel on October 7. As Israel ramps up its daily […]
Twenty days into Israel’s border war with Hamas, Benjamin Netanyahu still has not accepted unequivocal responsibility for the appalling Israeli breakdowns that enabled hordes of blood- thirsty terrorists to slaughter 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in the greatest single massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Until yesterday, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister remained conspicuously and unacceptably silent […]
The big unanswered question looming on the horizon following Hamas’ cold-blooded slaughter of 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7 is deafeningly obvious.
