Our woman in Damascus
Opinion: The latest prisoner swap raises the question of how much Israel's citizens are responsible for their own actions and whether the government should intervene; we should also ponder whether our politicians are capable of pure altruism

Likud will never be able to remove stain of Kahane
Opinion: By embracing Itamar Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu may believe he will secure the immunity he seeks in the criminal proceedings against him, but he is underestimating the extremists and racists if he thinks he can control them - and his party will pay the price

Israelis need carrot not stick to get COVID vaccinated
Opinion: After year of dubious laws that have eroded civil rights in the name of fighting the virus, the government must now convince people to have the vaccine with an informative and targeted campaign, not threaten legal forcible inoculations

Is Israel's government mad to reopen everything?
Opinion: While the number of daily infections surges all around the country, the government once again fails to live up to its promise to reopen schools and commerce slowly and carefully in what appears as a bi-polar management of the pandemic

Have you had your coronavirus vaccine yet?
Opinion: Israel is in a race to vaccinate 5.5 million people before being overrun by the spread of new and more potent COVID-19 strains; public pressure backed by a media blitz are the last tool in the bid to save lives and end the pandemic

Israel must expect every unexpected threat
Analysis: While Iran has been stuck at 'two years from the bomb' for decades and Jerusalem is basking in the glow of the Abraham Accords, the country must recall the unpredicted 2006 war - and never forget dangers of domestic socio-economic strife

IDF is reframing its battle for international legitimacy
Analysis: Kochavi's stark warning to Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad that Israel will not tolerate attacks on its home front that emanate from civilian areas in Lebanon and Gaza aims to preempt any demand to bring Israeli officers or politicians to trial

Israel's government cannot keep its coronavirus debates secret
Opinion: An archaic law that permits ministers to bury discussions how they have handled the pandemic has no place in the midst of the most serious civilian crisis Israel has ever faced; we need transparency from our leaders
