An initial call is set to take place between Israel’s ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, and the incoming Lebanese ambassador. The conversation is only a first step ahead of the launch of official negotiations early next week.
Israel thwarted a potential Iranian capability during the war to harm its satellites. It did so first by protecting them from the ground around the clock, and later by bombing the enemy’s space infrastructure. The damage is estimated in the billions.
Israel will hunt down its enemies, not be hounded by them. An utter rout of the ayatollahs is coming.
The Middle East is marked by complexity and recurring tensions. Israeli friends often ask: which side does China take? The answer is clear — China stands firmly on the side of peace, on the side of dialogue, and on the right side of history.
On the Iranian front, Israel did everything it could, and the achievements are significant, even if not decisive. But on Israel's northern border, it looks as though we are heading toward a historic missed opportunity. Instead of forcibly freeing the Lebanese state from Iranian control, including by targeting its leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu folded under pressure from the US administration, yielded to Iran and entered negotiations with Beirut's puppet regime.
