If the government pressure finally pushes Eyal Zamir to quit, it will just be another victory in the October 7 coalition’s campaign to deflect blame.

Arye Deri's return to politics, despite multiple convictions, highlights the deep divisions within Israel and threatens the unity needed during wartime.

No one could have known for certain back in 2005 what would happen next, how just two years later, Hamas would violently seize control of Gaza and that it would lead to the October 7 massacre.

Hamas will not disappear overnight, but the territory in Gaza can be stabilized to secure a victory over Iran.

Victory in Iran showed what can be achieved when Israel acts with vision, coordination, and courage.

For Netanyahu, often criticized as reactive and politically cornered, American attacks on Iran was a rare moment of vindication - and a reminder that sometimes, patience pays off.
