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

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

רה"מ בנימין נתניהו נכנס לאולם הדיונים על מנת לתת את עדותו בתיקי אלפים

Security first? Netanyahu posts videos while intelligence agencies prevent catastrophe

Opinion: As Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, alongside IDF and Mossad teams, work to thwart major terror plot, PM—who had just moved to dismiss Bar—focuses on posting videos, as if running a personal campaign on social media

Beirut strike foiled joint Hezbollah-Hamas plot to kill hundreds of Israelis overseas, authorities say

Airstrike targeted top Hezbollah operative planning imminent overseas attack with Hamas that could have killed hundreds; intel gathered by Shin Bet unit focused on dismantling overseas Hamas networks

Trump's plan for Gaza is an unrealistic dream

Opinion: From a Western perspective the idea of displacing Gazans is logical and even realistic, but Gaza is still ruled by extremist Islamists who care not one bit about the Strip or its residents; Jordan, Egypt fear influx of Palestinians more than suspended U.S. aid

Hezbollah can only claim Pyrrhic victory, but the real one is Israel's

Analysis: While criticism of the cease-fire agreement is valid, it is equally true that Hezbollah was badly battered in this war, and Israel can claim a resounding victory; Now Israel needs to turn its attention to the Iranian nuclear threat that, if it materializes, will render Hezbollah irrelevant in terms of Middle East power dynamics

Cease-fire call from Nasrallah’s deputy signals possible turning point for Lebanon

Opinion: Many Lebanese would welcome the removal of Iran's influence from their country, and Hezbollah's current weakened state presents a rare opportunity for leadership free from its grip—potentially preventing the group's resurgence

Avi Issacharoff | 10.09.24

A Nasrallah departure from the scene leaves a void in global terror, Lebanon

Analysis: Hezbollah's leader presented himself as a Lebanese patriot although his alliance and loyalty were to Iran; Nasrallah turned the armed terror group into the most powerful political party in Lebanon as its tentacles spread around the Mideast and Muslim world

המראת מטוסי קרב מבסיס רמת דוד (כנף 1) לתקיפות בלבנון

Israel faces unavoidable showdown with Hezbollah

Opinion: Nasrallah has linked his fate with Sinwar’s and shows no signs of surrender; Israel faces two options: pursue a cease-fire in the south to change the equation, or launch a ground operation in Lebanon, risking a prolonged, costly war

Avi Issacharoff | 09.24.24

פיצוץ במכשירי קשר (ביפרים) של אנשי חיזבאללה בדאחייה ובדרום לבנון

Hezbollah pager blasts signal declaration of war

Opinion: Israelis must prepare for days or weeks of violence and a possible ground offensive in Lebanon but the government must be clear on its goals and war objectives

Avi Issacharoff | 09.18.24

Nasrallah is walking a tightrope

Analysis: Hezbollah is conducting a geopolitical balancing act - supporting the Palestinians in Gaza against Israel without triggering a full-scale war in the region; Nasrallah is a bob and weave political beast even more than a Pan-Islamic justice warrior

Avi Issacharoff | 08.26.24

Hamas plots to scuttle Doha summit, hoping to trigger regional war

Opinion: Statements from Tehran threatening an attack on Israel if Doha negotiations fail have all but doomed the summit to failure; Hamas, seeking to provoke a regional escalation that would tie up the IDF, appears intent on sabotaging the talks

Avi Issacharoff | 08.15.24

Any opposition to Sinwar means death

Opinion: After solidifying his rule over the politburo, the ruthless Hamas leader, who sees himself as a modern-day Saladin, is set to take the terror group to the farthest extreme, sharing an ideology with al Qaida and ISIS
