Between pressure from Washington and a brief clash with Iran, Israel continues to destroy Hezbolla's infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, the world’s largest terrorist army has been forced to revert to operating as a guerrilla organization, merely harassing the IDF. And yet, to truly hurt it, there is one more thing that should be done.

A rabbi in a kippah quotes the Quran. An Arab in a keffiyeh presents Righteous Among the Nations from Iran. Welcome to the International Dialogue of Civilizations and Tolerance Conference in Abu Dhabi, where peace is a moral and spiritual imperative that was born long before the Abraham Accords.

President Trump threatened an unusual attack and the seizure of Tehran’s fuel terminals, but behind the scenes, a memorandum of understandings has already been drafted.
