Will Israel reoccupy Gaza?

A dramatic discussion is unfolding at the highest levels of Israel’s political and security leadership. What is preferable: maintaining the current situation in the Gaza Strip, or renewing the war until Hamas is destroyed?

What are Israel's red lines on Iran and Gaza?

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to meet US President Donald Trump, Israeli officials say Jerusalem’s main concern is not what Trump himself may or may not do, but rather the current influence of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. In Israel, there is hope that just as before the outbreak of the Rising Lion war the president was initially uncertain about escalation but ultimately joined in fully, the same dynamic will play out this time as well.

This is what a US attack on Iran would look like

A sober examination of the gaps between the US and Iranian positions following last week’s talks leads to a clear conclusion: there is no agreement in sight.

Beneath Gaza, Israel's war with Hamas has only begun

Phase Two? A ceasefire? Beneath Gaza’s soil, a war with no red or yellow lines is raging: the fight against the tunnels. At the heart of the network, alongside engineering officers, it becomes clear that the threat remains, and could intensify in the future. And also: the city people joke about, saying, “Wherever you drop a drill, you hit a tunnel.”

Turkey's nuclear path is a risk Israel cannot ignore

Ankara is using nuclear technology strictly for civilian purposes, but the infrastructure it is building could, under certain conditions, later help pave the way toward military applications. As long as the current president remains in power, efforts to edge closer to a nuclear weapons capability are unlikely to stop. The question is how long it would take, and how Israel should respond.

Iran's maritime threats test US resolve, not US vulnerability

Despite the overwhelming power and clear superiority of the US naval force, Iran has not been deterred from issuing threats against American vessels. Earlier this week, a billboard in the heart of Tehran depicted a destroyed US aircraft carrier, while official Iranian media outlets aired threatening videos throughout the week.
