The prime minister hopes that putting off the judicial reform for the first half of his term would allow him to focus on the big things: Biden and Saudi Arabia. He would do that by accepting Herzog's plan that puts on hold almost all controversial legislation.

Unlike the attack in Hawara, the attack in the Mount Hebron area earlier this week was carried out following a deliberative process. To stage such an attack, preparations have to be made beforehand. This usually implies that well-known terrorist organizations are involved in the logistics, not just in the orchestration and funding aspects.

Although there are no signs of a planned invasion, the Russian proxy could create provocations that would in turn impact political processes and create "Ukraine war fatigue." Senior analyst says the nature of their presence in Belarus may not be what it seems. “Mercenaries don’t work for free," he adds.

Palestinian terrorist Kamel Abu Bakr likely hid underground during the Jenin counter-terrorism operation, which allowed him to evade arrest and eventually arrive in Tel Aviv armed.

No real technical variance exists between 90% and 60% enrichment; the difference in breakout time to a bomb’s worth of weapons-grade enrichment is a matter of days or a few weeks. Israel is better off with an Iranian push to 90% without billions of dollars flowing to the regime and without the illusion that holding Tehran at 60% enrichment is meaningful.
