Say yes to Netanyahu's pardon request, but first start the healing

Opinion: The prime minister is right that his trial is causing rifts, but he is the one causing them; Therefore, it would be right that both parts of his request are fulfilled: First heal the rifts, then a pardon

This is how the Americans turned Israel into a banana republic

Opinion: Contrary to all the delusional statements, the US administration did not give Netanyahu a "free hand" to do as he pleased; On the contrary. It stopped him. It forced the ceasefire on him

דונלד טראמפ ובנימין נתניהו בפגישתם בבית הלבן

Israel has won the battle but lost the war

Instead of a forced halt to fighting, Israel could have, again and again, initiated ceasefires to make clear that Hamas is the party that wants war, not Israel

Now the ball is in Hamas' court

Opinion: From Israel's perspective, the agreement presented yesterday by the U.S. president is nothing short of excellent; The main change in recent days is the massive Arab pressure on Hamas to accept it; This is certainly hopeful, but in light of past experience the terrorist organization's response is still a question mark

Hamas is on its last legs, yet Netanyahu continues to refuse victory

Opinion: Netanyahu’s refusal to pursue a ceasefire with Hamas risks repeating mistakes, endangering soldiers and hostages and pushing Israel toward crippling international sanctions — a path the Lebanon deal showed can be avoided

Yes, Western leaders are rewarding terrorism by recognizing Palestinian state

Opinion: Europe’s reward for decades of Palestinian statehood refusal only strengthens Hamas and destroys the chance for real peace

ספרד נמל ברצלונה משט סומוד צומוד גרטה טונברג מפליג

Greta, welcome to the Middle East: You need to know who you’re helping

Opinion: As Greta Thunberg sails toward Gaza with a flotilla of well-meaning activists, Israel should counter by sending survivors, hostage families and border residents to meet the flotilla and expose the truth about Hamas and Gaza’s terror groups

Europe’s leniency toward the Palestinians undermines peace efforts

Opinion: While the US sets strict conditions for Palestinian leaders, including an end to incitement and terror payments, the EU continues to fund the Palestinian Authority despite repeated violations of its own resolutions

Gaza City offensive could cost Israel its remaining goodwill with US

Opinion: Israel’s potential operation in Gaza City highlights the growing political and public backlash in the U.S., rising international scrutiny and the long-term consequences of shifting progressive influence

A chance to stop the avalanche: Israel should see the hostage deal through

Opinion: Israel stands at a critical juncture after Hamas accepted the U.S.-backed Witkoff ceasefire and hostage deal, with some warning that rejecting the proposal would play into Hamas’ diplomatic strategy

Terrorists in the kitchen: How aid organizations help Hamas and fight Israel

Opinion: Aid groups’ 'starvation' campaign claims Israel blocks aid to Gaza, but out of 104 organizations, most never applied and tens of thousands of tons of food and medical supplies have entered, though some are diverted by Hamas, fueling accusations of intentional shortages

You are not moral voices, you are moral criminals

Opinion: Criticism of Israel’s government is legitimate, but echoing Hamas propaganda is not; those who now accuse Israel of atrocities in Gaza stayed silent when the October 7 massacre was celebrated — and have chosen the wrong side

Ben-Dror Yemini | 08.05.25

Netanyahu’s media missteps signal a disconnect from reality

Opinion: Once hailed as Israel’s master communicator, Netanyahu is now seen as dangerously out of touch; in a recent interview, he names the toll on his wife as his deepest regret, ignoring his failings on Oct. 7 and the thousands of lives lost, since that day

Gaza 'humanitarian city' presents Hamas with gift and punishes Israel

Opinion: The humanitarian city is a megalomaniac folly that must be stopped ;Before it is even underway, Israel is already accused of building a 'concentration camp' to house up to a million Palestinians; the government is tasking the IDF with an impossible mission without a thought about costs and implications

Murder propaganda: How biased reporting fuels global hate against Israel

Opinion: In a world flooded with anti-Israel bias, local and international outlets risk amplifying Hamas propaganda—ignoring the truth behind the suffering in Gaza and the realities of terror
