By replacing restraint with public humiliation and pressure, Donald Trump reshaped US diplomacy and replaced norms that governed alliances and global order for decades

Ukraine’s designation of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization should translate into clear diplomatic, moral and strategic alignment with fellow democracies facing the same authoritarian axis, such as Israel and the US.

Trump dispatched a “massive armada” to the Gulf and promised “violence if necessary.” Now he must return with a result. For Trump, honor is no less structural than it is for Tehran. Returning empty-handed is not an option.

The draft exemption law is important because it lowers the level of hostility, halts the reflexive “anti” discourse, and creates space in which the Haredi public understands that it must change. Not change forced by a clenched fist, but change that can actually be implemented.

The critical mistake of the Trump-Kushner approach is the attempt to reduce a deep national, religious, and identity conflict to a cash-flow and urban-development problem.

From the Exodus from Egypt to modern Israel, the command remains the same: We do not leave our brothers behind.

The Israeli-American Council’s 10th National Summit, taking place January 15–17 in Florida, is not a celebration. It brings together Israeli-Americans, Jewish Americans, and Israelis not as separate audiences, but as partners confronting shared challenges and shaping shared solutions.

Tehran's streets surge with demonstrators, but fractured opposition and imprisoned leaders leave uprising without the organized force needed for revolution.

We came to the US to meet with President Trump. Our message is clear: there can be no “phase two” without the full completion of “phase one.” Ran, my son, was among the first to go out and fight on October 7, and he is the last one still being held captive. 815 days is an eternity.

36 years after the genocide carried out against us by the Somali dictator, a circle has closed with the one country that did not remain silent in our darkest hour. Now Israel and Somaliland are embarking on a remarkable journey rooted in shared trauma. Two nations that rose from the ashes and refuse to be victims.
