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. In the last few days, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described Hamas as a “liberation organization,” accused Israel of being a “war criminal” state, and cancelled his forthcoming visit to Jerusalem. In harshly condemning Israel for […]
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.

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. When will the Israeli armed forces invade the Gaza Strip in an attempt to crush Hamas? If Israel should launch a ground invasion, its objectives would be crystal clear: […]
Israel and the United States have warned Hezbollah, Iran’s supreme surrogate in the Middle East, to stay out of the current war pitting the Israeli armed forces against Hamas in and around the Gaza Strip. But for all intents and purposes, the war on the northern front already has begun. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant […]
