Major military victory against Iran could turn into existential threat for Israel

Analysis: Israel’s war against Iran is justified and militarily effective, but past experience warns that battlefield victories can turn into defeat in public opinion; Without restoring global support—especially in the US—even success could become a strategic collapse

Striking Iran was necessary for US security

Opinion: failing to confront Tehran would have strengthened the regime, emboldened its proxies and weakened American power across the Middle East and beyond

Now or never: Israel’s war to stop Iran’s march toward annihilation

Commentary: War is evil, but failing to strike early can bring far greater disaster later; confronting Iran’s regime may be long and painful, yet it is a moral and national imperative to prevent a growing existential threat to Israel and the region

ראש ממשלת בריטניה קיר סטרמר בהצהרה על פיגוע בית כנסת מנצ'סטר יום כיפור

Iran finds an unlikely ally in London

Analysis: Britain has informed the United States that it opposes using its regional military bases for a strike on Iran — not out of enlightenment or respect for international law, but out of the weakness and appeasement gripping parts of the West like a disease that refuses to heal

Human rights activists and organizations legitimize antisemitism

Opinion: Francesca Albanese is proof that there is one strain of racism that receives international legitimacy from many human rights activists and groups, and that is antisemitism; it is a cancer that takes over a camp that thinks it is enlightened

Trump legitimizes Iranian envoys with smile-filled meeting as Iranian public watches in horror

The Iranian regime was on a certain path to collapse until Trump announced that he would help the protesters who were being massacred in the streets; But the talks are strengthening the regime of terror, not the path to its overthrow

Beyond the numbers: real responsibility for death toll in Gaza lies with Hamas

Opinion: Whether it is a thousand or a hundred thousand deaths in Gaza, Hamas and Hamas alone is to blame; but Hamas’ figures are winning the PR war—with help from inside the IDF

Ben-Dror Yemini | 02.01.26

Give Trump’s Gaza vision a chance, even if the odds are long

Opinion: In ordinary times, the odds would seem slim, but these are not ordinary days; if Iran’s regime falls, the regional equation could shift and Hamas may face a different reality, making even ambitious plans worth testing

Iran’s protesters are being massacred — and the free world is silent

Opinion: Protesters in Tehran are facing the brutality of the ruthless regime, but human rights advocates around the world have not taken to the streets; the UN has also disappeared; now, the Iranians understand what Israelis learned two years ago: there is no free world

נתניהו הכריז על הכרה ברפובליקה של סומלילנד כמדינה עצמאית וריבונית

From ‘no policy’ to October 7 to no plan, Netanyahu’s US visit tests Israel’s strategic direction

Opinion: Netanyahu embarks on an important mission of presenting the evolving threats from Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. But with arrogant talk of war and outposts in Gaza, and without a political vision, failure is a foregone conclusion

From coverage to carnage: How incitement against Israel turned deadly

Opinion: Sustained antisemitic incitement, amplified by Western media and academia while downplaying Hamas’ genocidal ideology, has helped fuel deadly attacks against Jews in Washington, Manchester and Sydney

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

Ben-Dror Yemini | 12.01.25

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
