You could have been the greatest president of all, but you failed

Mr. President, you have gravely harmed the human interests of the enlightened world, and you may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America’s humiliation. You betrayed us, the Israelis. And in a single moment, the contempt you once faced suddenly seems so justified and logical. Danny Zaken writes to the US president.

Inside the social media storm shaking Khamenei's regime

A kilo of meat that costs a quarter of a monthly salary, grandmothers becoming TikTok stars and one persistent rumor driving an entire country mad. Social media researcher Effi Banay presents life in Iran through social networks and is convinced: “This regime will not last much longer.”

Analysis

The Gulf states have moved on, leaving Israel behind

The signing of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran marks the beginning of a new regional order. While the Gulf states are returning to dialogue with Iran and focusing on economic stability, Israel is still talking about continuing the struggle. Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Doha have internalized that Tehran remains a major player in the region, and that it is better to learn to live alongside it than to try to subdue it.

US-Iran deal leaves Qatar on top

Qatar appears to be the big winner: Despite its dubious ties with Hamas, the White House repeatedly proved receptive to the emirate’s mediation efforts. Other Gulf Cooperation Council countries, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, naturally aligned themselves with the announcement of the memorandum.

Analysis

The Iran deal is an American failure that endangers Israel

The senior American official distorted the truth in a briefing to reporters: The centrifuges will remain, the enriched uranium will not be removed, and Trump himself contradicted him the next day. Iran won on the money issue: Lifting sanctions on oil exports will channel tens of billions of dollars to the Revolutionary Guards, more than they earned by bypassing sanctions. Senior US official to Israel: “You will not be a signatory to the agreement, but every action you take will have to be coordinated with the US.”

We did everything in Iran, except what could have ended it

Instead of insisting on efforts to topple the regime, there was a more effective step that was never taken, and the sense of a missed opportunity is enormous.

Hezbollah's spider's web is unraveling

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.

Iran is collapsing, but the US is rushing toward a surrender deal

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. Diplomats in the Gulf are worried and are calling on Netanyahu to intervene: “Trump is going back to his old conduct. This will be a missed opportunity for real change.”
