It remains highly doubtful that the 14-point document the Pakistanis are enthusiastically waving around will actually be signed, especially since Iran itself has not even confirmed having reviewed it. Nor has anyone in Washington fully verified […]

Netanyahu’s long road to confronting Iran

Fiamma Nirenstein - JNS.org — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 04:15:46 +0000

For decades, Israel’s leader has maintained that survival demands strength. After Oct 7, that doctrine became a policy to reshape the region. Two qualities of leadership define Benjamin Netanyahu at this pivotal moment. The first is the ability to pursue an objective that appears impossible, relentlessly and patiently, for years until circumstances align and it […]

Between two blades: Global squeeze on world Jewry

Daniel Rosen — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 07:11:00 +0000

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that the global Jewish Diaspora is facing an unsettling squeeze, one that is closing in from both ideological extremes.

Melanie Phillips - JNS.org — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 04:27:51 +0000

The hypocrisy, double standards and malevolence are off the scale. Syrian government forces carried out a four-day massacre this week of the Druze minority in Suweida, a Druze town in southern Syria. An estimated 300 Druze were slaughtered in a series of barbaric atrocities perpetrated by troops loyal to the new Syrian president, Abu Mohammed […]

Reading the Middle East correctly will be vital to Israel’s security

Ron Weiser — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 06:56:11 +0000

Prime Minister Netanyahu has shown that he too adheres to the ‘Begin Doctrine,’ which says that no country that threatens the existence of the Jewish state will be allowed the weapons to do so.

Arab world gave Israel a green light to hit Hamas, analysts say

Pesach Benson — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 05:03:19 +0000

Horrified international reactions to Hamas’s terror attacks may have given Israel a green light to deliver an especially harsh blow to the Gaza terror groups, experts told the Tazpit Press Service on Sunday. “There is more understanding for Israel. Even in the Arab world, they’re silent — no major response from the Arabs,” Professor Eyal […]
