In this @ForeignAffairs article by former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, he makes a shocking assertion: “Six times in the past 12 years [Netanyahu] has rejected plans proposed by the heads of Israel’s secret security agency, known as Shabak, to eliminate the Hamas leadership.” Yet more

There’s a coup attempt happening now in Russia and I can’t find any US news channel that is reporting on it. Anderson Cooper is in Newfoundland. MSNBC is obsessed with Trump 24/7.

No Israeli official dares to go on the record for fear of making matters worse but it's clear from the reporting that Israel feels betrayed by Trump's Syria decision. timesofisrael.com/mattis-said-to… via @TimesofIsrael

Today is a turning point in Israel when leading journalists (Barnea, Bergman, Caspit etc.) tell the Israeli public what @netanyahu will not tell them: that Hamas is bruised but will not be defeated and the best that can be done now is to negotiate a return of the hostages at a

So all those promises to world leaders about his commitment to a 2 state solution were a bunch of lies. And all those enablers who swore Bibi was serious about peace have some xplaining to do.

The shame is on you @AmbDermer. Israel had much of the world on its side on October 7 but you squandered the goodwill by failing to adequately address the humanitarian situation in Gaza. You were urged, warned, pressured and you’re still not doing what you should.

All those countries turning away from Israel now will look back at this moment as a mark of shame. After all those statements in support of the Jewish people when we're victims, you abandon us now, on the last leg before our victory against a genocidal terrorist force? Shameful.

There @netanyahu goes again: last night he reiterated his position that he would not allow the PA to govern the Gaza Strip after the war. “I will not allow the State of Israel to repeat the critical mistake of Oslo, which brought to the heart of our land—and to Gaza—the most

Asked why he never annulled the Oslo accords during all the years he was in power. Netanyahu answered, “I destroyed the Oslo agreements. I thought they were a terrible mistake and I still think that. When I was elected prime minister, I said I would establish the principle of

Israel is at war on four fronts: with Hamas in Gaza; with Houthis in Yemen; with Hezbollah in Lebanon; and with Iran overseeing the operations. What does Netanyahu do? Attack the United States based on a lie that he made up! The Speaker and Leader should withdraw his invitation

Against the will of Netanyahu, @gantzbe is about to visit Washington for meetings with @VP Harris and NSC adviser Jake Sullivan. Bibi has ordered Israel’s ambassador to boycott the meetings. I wager @POTUS will drop by; might even invite Gantz into the Oval Office. Gantz is a

Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.

Only in Trump world would an outgoing @SecPompeo accuse his successor of appeasement and not bother to congratulate him. Just another reminder, if we needed one, of why he will go down in history as the worst SecState ever.
