Finishing a week in Israel and the region with a J Street delegation, it's clear historic decisions lie just ahead - posing both enormous danger and amazing opportunity.
Thank you, Jeremy, for this: https://jeremybenami.substack.com/p/forks-in-the-road. Remember it was not only Hamas but four other armed paramilitary groups as well who attacked military and civilian targets on 10/07. They are all parading themselves openly, sharing the tunnels (not sure how), and organizing in the West Bank (including tunnel construction, apparently).
While Hamas is saying it will give up political leadership of Gaza if Phase 3 negotiations conclude with an acceptable governing formula, unreliable reports are that Hamas and its allies will insist on being allowed to hold on to their weapons and presumably their tunnels.
Reports say some Israeli anti-Netanyahu leaders have promised Netanyahu they will ensure Parliamentrary support for him to remain in office until 2026, if some of rightist parties abandon him for going forward with Phase II. Are those reports accurate?
At least nine nations have nuclear weapons (e.g., Pakistan, India, Russia); and it's a buyer's market. Forget about Hamas, Iran and the Apartheid state's traditional enemies.
One or more strikes against the Apartheid state, and it is "toast" forever; and yes, the world will cheer. That is the butcher Netanyahu's "gift" to world Jewry.
When will he be tried by the International Criminal Court for his many crimes?
I wish Jared would read it to Trump

A thoughtful analysis by Jeremy, as always. But it begs the question: why hasn't "Osama bin Laden 2.0" struck before now?

It's past time to take the road "least traveled by. "
