How Israel captured the Gaza doctor who handled Hadar Goldin’s body

Al-Hams, who worked at Rafah’s Youssef al-Najjar Hospital, served in Hamas’ military wing as a brigade doctor and also managed field hospitals for the Hamas-run health ministry during the war

Conditions are ripe for a third intifada

Opinion: Iran is trying to destabilize Judea and Samaria, and is pouring large quantities of weapons into Israel; Jewish terrorism is rampant in the territories, under the auspices of the state and the Israeli police; The Palestinian Authority is weakening, but Israel is not strengthening it even though it knows it is in its own interest

Everyone won, everyone lost: The limits of Trump’s Israel-Hamas deal

Both Israel and Hamas can claim victory in the new deal, each achieving significant gains but falling short of their goals; without completing Trump’s peace plan, however, the agreement is likely to be only temporary

Avi Issacharoff | 10.10.25

The deal Israel cannot afford to miss

Opinion: Even if only the hostage-release clause of Trump’s plan is carried out, it would be an exceptional deal for Israel — one so favorable that few in Israel would have dared to imagine it

Hamas faces its toughest dilemma yet over Trump’s peace plan

Opinion: Hamas leaders are torn over Trump’s peace proposal: agreeing means surrendering weapons and identity, while rejecting risks massive destruction in Gaza and renewed global isolation.

Hamas' dilemma in the face of the Trump plan

If it says yes, Hamas will no longer be Hamas and if it says no, Hamas will be seen as the greatest obstacle to stopping the war in Gaza; It can be assumed that the pressure on the Hamas leadership in Doha is enormous, the question is what the Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip will say

Avi Issacharoff | 10.03.25

Despite promise that this time it will be different, another Gaza offensive won’t end the war

Opinion: The government that imposed Operation Gideon’s Chariots II on the military is banking on the public’s short memory and on a universal hope: one more operation and it will be over; this is not the reality, however

Avi Issacharoff | 09.18.25

Israel’s strike against Hamas in Qatar was long overdue

Opinion: IDF's strike on terror group's leaders in Doha was a long-overdue reckoning with a rogue mediator—shattering Qatar's shield of impunity and shifting power to Gaza’s battlefield commanders

Avi Issacharoff | 09.10.25

Hamas won't be waving a white flag anytime soon, and that's OK with Netanyahu

Opinion: As Israel readies for another push in Gaza City, one truth stands out: Netanyahu knows Hamas won’t yield to force; that’s the point—he’s betting on a drawn-out fight, prolonging the war to serve his own political survival

Avi Issacharoff | 08.27.25

How Israel failed to turn October 7 military gains into political success

Opinion: Everyone warned: military victories in Gaza must be translated into lasting political gains; Everyone understood—except Netanyahu, and now Israeli soldiers, hostages, and our global reputation are paying the price

Avi Issacharoff | 07.28.25

IDF is winning battles in Gaza, but Netanyahu is losing the war

Opinion: With enclave in total ruin and soldiers paying the price, government continues to delay a plan for the day after — prolonging conflict with no clear objective

Avi Issacharoff | 07.21.25

Israel should aim for the head of the snake and kill Khamenei

Opinion: It's time for Israel to make Ayatollah Khamenei a central target in the war against Iran; With the Islamic Republic bombing our hospitals and the entire Middle East watching, and with a chance for more sane leadership in Tehran, we must show that even the Supreme Leader is not immune

Avi Issacharoff | 06.20.25

Hamas chose Jihad over Gazans

Opinion: Israel estimates that the terror group is on the cusp of total collapse, but it would be a mistake to view the crisis in Gaza through Western eyes and try predict how it would act if such an event occurs

פנייה לטראמפ בהפגנה בבגין: Save the hostages, End the war

Hamas victory is fracturing the once-celebrated Israeli solidarity

Opinion: Military accomplishments against Hamas and Hezbollah have blinded Israeli society to a much more troublesome development - the loss of compassion, and national unity in the name of opposing or worshipping Netanyahu

Avi Issacharoff | 05.25.25

Eliminating the most dangerous man in Gaza is not the end of Hamas

Opinion: Even if Mohammed Sinwar was assassinated, it’s a moral blow at most; It may speed up talks, but dismantling Hamas’ military wing would take a years-long military campaign, as tactical kills alone won’t defeat the terror group
