No more ‘let it go.’ Israel’s response to rockets from Syria shows how October 7 changed the country's security mindset everywhere —from Gaza, to Lebanon, to the Golan. https://t.co/kFBUKfQ3l5

Diplomatic visits carry symbolism. So does slamming the door. Here’s why Israel said no to a Ramallah visit by the Saudi Foreign Minister and five other foreign ministers. https://t.co/ef9a7aeKob

Déjà vu in Washington and Jerusalem: Trump wants a diplomatic win on Iran. Netanyahu fears a strategic blunder. Same script, different US president. The more things change, etc., etc... https://t.co/96ZcNnsjm8

The failures of Oct. 7 still scar Israel. But 600 days on, there are also major achievements — degrading Hamas, decimating Hezbollah, altering Syria, and weakening Iran. Those, too, should be acknowledged. https://t.co/swO1bRBR4q

Remember when Hamas set itself up as Jerusalem’s "guardian" — firing rockets or issuing threats when it didn’t like what it saw in the capital, especially around Jerusalem Day? Well, those days are over. https://t.co/0EgIhA6GnF

Two weeks ago, my wife and I set sail on a kosher cruise in the Med. No airplane food. No tilapia fatigue. Just crème brûlée, veal chops—and Shabbat at sea. Here’s what it was like. #KosherTravel #NorwegianCruiseLine https://t.co/Vfdy3AlrR5

When Western democracies threaten Israel with sanctions, and an Israeli opposition leader parrots Hamas rhetoric, the terror group gets exactly what it wants—legitimacy, leverage, and time. https://t.co/0CgqHS1K0v

Israel named a Golan outpost after Trump. Qatar gave him a $400M jet & the Gulf committed trillions in investment. In Trump’s Middle East, deals talk. Can Israel keep up in a region ruled by cash & contracts? https://t.co/SdYc001kBv #Israel #Trump #MiddleEast #USforeignpolicy

In a world where saying "I'm from Israel" can feel like a risk, a new El Al ad captures a simple powerful longing: to be ourselves without apologizing. https://t.co/GkNrMlXomP

Israel’s reservists rushed to the front on Oct 7. Now, as emergency call-ups go out again, motivation is waning. Fatigue, unclear goals, and political distrust are taking a toll, but the trend is reversible. https://t.co/h711HUR9Dm

Former deputy head of Shin Bet Yisrael Hasson on picking someone from outside -- Eli Sharvit -- to head the organization: "You don't have to be dead to head the chevra kadisha (burial society)."

Lebanon’s failure to assert complete control over its territory is as much an Israeli problem as a Lebanese one. Friday’s strike in Beirut was meant to get that message across: The strike was not just retaliation but a recalibration of the rules. https://t.co/FkJkxTm5Z8

With hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, on the march in Turkey, Erdogan today calls for destruction of Israel. How's that for an original way to distract attention?

Naftali Bennett is flying in the polls -- as usual. On average, over 5 elections as head of 3 parties, he does 48% better in polls days before elections than he does in actual balloting. So why pick a fight with high-profile journalist @amit_segal https://t.co/NDKK33Wtp5

For @EinatWilf Israel's conflict with the Palestinians can be boiled down to what Ernest Bevin, no fan of the Jews, said before partition in 1947: “The Jews want a state; the Arabs want the Jews not to have a state.” Wilf explains in this interview https://t.co/S5JIZ3KUJw
