The IDF has acknowledged that mistakes were made when soldiers opened fire on ambulances and medics in Rafah last month. That admission matters, and it’s right that an investigation is underway. Lessons must be learned. At the same time, we can’t ignore the complexity of this https://t.co/o6TmapWyPi

Israel needs the world to address Russia's role in the region when resolving Ukraine war. Neglecting this connection risks Hezbollah rearming, Iran advancing its agenda, and Israel's continued entanglement in ongoing conflicts. ​ My latest in @Newsweek. https://t.co/XfOgHg6FDE

I’ve known @ZvikaKlein for 15 years - a close friend and one of the most principled journalists I know. His appointment as editor of the @Jerusalem_Post was richly deserved. I don't know anything about the so-called 'QatarGate' but I do not question Zvika's integrity even for a

I strongly recommend this episode - @YKleinHalevi is one of the most eloquent thinkers when it comes to Israel and its soul. We spoke at length about how the country has become fractured and divided once again, despite the unbearable price we have all paid these last 18 months.

In this episode, author @YKleinHalevi explores the deepening divisions within Israeli society and how the government is deliberately exacerbating these fractures to maintain political leverage >> https://t.co/rg7btujx4Z https://t.co/tGCnrDGTAG

What @netanyahu did to retired Admiral Eli Sharvit is an insult - not just to him, but to all of us. Tossing his name out as a political trial balloon, only to walk it back hours later, is one thing. But playing ping pong with a security agency every Israeli depends on is

A word of caution about the criticism surrounding Adm. Eli Sharvit’s appointment as head of the Shabak: Most commentators, especially in the media, don’t actually know Sharvit - or what it takes to lead Israel’s internal security agency. This isn’t the first time a Navy

ח"כ גדי איזנקוט מברך על הבחירה באלוף (במיל') אלי שרביט לראש השב"כ הבא: "אלי הוא מנהיג ומפקד בעל עמוד שדרה מקצועי וערכי שהצטיין בכל תפקידיו בצה"ל ומהיכרות רבת שנים, אני משוכנע שיקדם את הארגון על פי ייעודו ויהיה נאמן למדינת ישראל"

The video of Elkana Bohbot is heartbreaking. A young father, held captive for 18 months, pleading for his life. The time for a deal to bring him and the other hostages home ran out long ago. Every day that passes is a failure. Returning Elkana and all the hostages must be the

Is Israel going to be OK? That’s the question I was asked again and again during a recent visit to the United States. In the post–October 7 world, it’s not unusual. Israel is deep in what can only be described as its own version of a “Forever War” – to borrow the phrase Joe

When you turn schools into rocket depots and sleep next to rocket launchers, civilian casualties become a tragic inevitability. The 50,000 death toll Hamas claims today is not credible and no one should believe it just like they wouldn’t believe Al Qaeda casualty figures or ISIS https://t.co/AAMKgOlI9y

The uproar around the so-called International Conference for Combating Antisemitism is no surprise. At its core lies the same old Israeli arrogance: the belief that it can dictate to Diaspora Jews what they should think, feel, and believe. The outrage over @AmichaiChikli

Israel’s response to the rocket fire from Lebanon is important to send a message to Hezbollah that even the smallest infraction of the ceasefire will not be tolerated. Oct. 7 taught us that Israel cannot afford to hold by a policy of containment anymore. Today on @cnni with https://t.co/zjZ4vXmQLo
