Trump on Settlements

Will that be one state or two?

The importance of Trump's remarks is that the US objective is to make a peace agreement rather than to create a Palestinian state.

Switzerland: Chocolate, Watches and Jihad

Switzerland is an excellent answer to those who still claim Islamic terrorism is reserved for those countries that participated in operations against ISIS or other Muslim terror organizations.

The case for Kurdish statehood

Why has the West been so supportive of Palestinian nationalism, yet so reluctant to support the Kurds, the largest nation in the world without a state? The Kurds have been instrumental in fighting the Islami...

Iran still looms large in Israel’s threat perception

Israel and Washington should jointly address the perceived lack of U.S. deterrence against persistent Iranian and proxy threats, conclude the ten-year military assistance package as soon as possible, and launch a strategic high-level dialogue under the next administration.

The Iran Deal, One Year Later

The US, Russia and other entities involved in striking the deal with Iran must realize that to bring about peace in the Middle East, the power of a regime that continues to stoke conflict in the region must be restricted, before it is too late.

Nuclear Negotiators from the P5+1 and Iran

Analysis: A year later, Iran deal holding but fragile

A year after signing the nuclear deal, Iran appears to have fulfilled its obligations although it continues to fund terrorism around the world and is developing its ballistic missile program, the result of what some say is Obama's failure at appeasement.

Palestinian Boycott of Quartet Should Ring Alarm Bells

Palestinian rejectionism has been there in plain sight for all those willing to see it. Yet despite this, the international community has hitherto been willing to give the Palestinians the benefit of the doubt.

We Don’t Need the World’s Permission to Defend Ourselves

Waiting for the world to condemn and pay lip service to Israel’s fight against terrorism is a dead end in every sense of the word. It will never happen. We are a sovereign nation. We do not need the world’s permission to defend ourselves against those who seek our destruction.

How Dare Europe Applaud a Blood-Libeler?

How could hundreds of EU Parliament members applaud Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas' vile speech in which he attempted to spread lies about Israel? It should be obvious that it is not Palestinian wells being poisoned, but rather the hearts and minds of the Palestinian people.

In New York and the Media, Israel Is Held to a Double Standard

Gary Conrad walked into a Food Emporium in New York City and began swearing at people. Minutes later he was dead, shot by a NYPD officer. But had this taken place in Israel and had he been an actual terrorist, there would be an international outcry. So why the silence?

The French initiative is pushing an agenda down Israel’s throat

While the aim of the French initiative is to “encourage” bilateral negotiations, let no one be fooled: This is really about pushing the 2002 Saudi peace initiative, which asks nothing less than Israel’s withdrawal to the 1949 armistice lines and a “just” solution to the refugee issue.

Analysis: Will the Next US President Stand Resolutely with Israel?

The 2016 presidential race appears to have been whittled down to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, both of whom have a large following and have a good chance of becoming president. But where do they stand on Israel?

We Can’t Leave Iran to its Own Devices

Believing that leaving the Iran-centered Islamist bloc to its own devices in hopes that it will behave itself and stick to its own business is only an illusion.

The stench of European imperialism

Europe has a problem with properly grasping the fact that Israel exists as a sovereign Jewish state, ‎whose integrity under international law it must respect in the same way that it respects the ‎integrity of other states.

How ‘Breaking the Silence’ Lost Israel’s Trust

Breaking the Silence's international activities and funding are hindering its ability to affect change in Israel. Donors should realize that their support and invitations for the group to appear in Europe are counterproductive.

Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu

‘Narrow’ escapes

When Obama and Netanyahu exchanged pleasantries and spoke a few scripted lines prior to meeting privately, everyone — myself included — was hanging on their every nuance for clues. And leave it to Obama to provide a whopper of a glimpse into the workings of his mind.

US Seen in Middle East as Ally of Terrorists

Many Egyptians and moderate Arabs and Muslims were shocked to hear that the U.S. State Department recently hosted a Muslim Brotherhood delegation. They were equally shocked when an EU court decided to remove Hamas from the bloc's list of terror groups.
