‘Netanyahu knew hostages live on borrowed time. He acted in cold blood. [His gov't] knows he's corrupt, a narcissist, a coward, but his lack of humanity was revealed in all its ugliness recently. The blood is on his hands, w/out absolving Hamas at all’ haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

💥 Israelis are finally rising up. Huge crowds in Tel Aviv and elsewhere tonight in the largest anti-govt demonstrations since Oct. 7.

#Scoop by Ronen Bergman: After #Hamas had largely agreed to a detailed Israeli hostage deal proposal in May, #Netanyahu backtracked and introduced changes aimed at thwarting any possibility for a deal. ynet.co.il/news/article/y…

#Breaking: Netanyahu goes on nat'l tv to defend his demand for permanent control of the Philadelphi Corridor, claiming that the 2005 Israeli pullout from Gaza was a strategic mistake he is now determined to correct.

💥How Netanyahu deliberately sabotaged deal that could have saved the hostages. Scoop by Ronen Bergman: "If not for Netanyahu's deliberate sabotage, there's a good chance 4 of the hostages killed by Hamas last week wld have been freed a month ago." ynet.co.il/news/article/b…

Actually, a Harris victory will spell the end of Trump.

#TelAviv: Furious crowds across Israel flood streets, demanding immediate hostage release / ceasefire deal, while: ◾️Netanyahu defiantly kills deal hopes ◾️Under orders from convicted extremist-turned-police chief Ben-Gvir, the police ramp up aggression toward demonstrators.

🚨Netanyahu's Office appears to be waging a disinformation campaign targeting the 🇮🇱 public by leaking fake/falsified #Hamas documents to foreign media outlets (the German BILD, the British The Jewish Chronicle). Scoop by Ronen Bergman ynet.co.il/news/article/b…

My latest for New Lines Magazine: The outcome of three months of investigation, featuring 12 interviews and multiple data points, this story dissects how #Iran's state-sanctioned culture of bereavement has interfered with the nation's emotional temperature newlinesmag.com/argument/irans…

On this 31st anniversary of the signing of the #OsloAccords, Israel is led by the two figures most publicly tainted by Rabin's blood, aside from the killer himself: PM Netanyahu, who fueled the hatred, and Nat'l Sec Minister Ben-Gvir, who openly advocated for the assassination.

HR Josep Borrell Fontelles is indeed not a big fan of your govt Minister ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz, but the damage you and your govt are doing to 🇮🇱-#EU relations is beyond imagination and might not be repairable. European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺

Israel's top diplomat just posted this unhinged attack on outgoing #EU counterpart Josep Borrell Fontelles. The projection is glaring. It's Netanyahu's govt—not Borrell—that will carry the legacy of fostering the greatest wave of antisemitism and hatred towards 🇮🇱 this century.

As Netanyahu appears to have abandoned even the facade of hostage negos in favor of permanent war in Gaza, throngs of Israelis are back on the streets tonight demanding an immediate hostage release and ceasefire. 👉Meanwhile, the govt seems set on intensifying war in north.

Israeli security officials are offering the incentive of permanent residency status to asylum seekers who agree to participate in life-threatening military operations in Gaza haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

THE BURNING QUESTION: What’s the value of today’s attack if it isn't followed by a strategic move? Tinkering w/ thousands of pagers is complex and risky. One leak could compromise the whole op. Did the high risk of exposure outweigh the potential for real strategic gains?

Hovering over the beeper op's tactical feat is one burning question: What does Israel want? What's clear is that: - Nasrallah doesn't want war - Netanyahu wants to stay in power and has tied his fate to messianic pols in Israel and Sinwar in Gaza: i.e, those craving all-out war.
