@Ron_Skolnik Remember he has to get elected in a right wing israel - don’t suppose anything.

Nice explainer on Eisenkot. Eisenkot might, like Rabin of '92, surprise folks, of course. But prima facie, he seems to offer no more than a gentler way of continuing occupation and managing the conflict. If so, not a groisse metzia.

Breaking the Silence @weimanadav who joined @RoKhanna to the West Bank, shares his account on what happened Wednesday. (Surprise: the IDF lied.)
What’s most disturbing, he writes, is that in the reality in the West Bank, it’s nothing new. @haaretzcom

It’s also good news that the opposition is now led by Eizenkot and not Bennet. Very big difference

💥In the first poll of this momentous week, Netanyahu's coalition gets 52 Knesset seats to the Opposition's 68. And, following the trend, Gadi Eizenkot' party & Eisenkot personally beat Netanyahu & his @Likud_Party. @kann_news

Haaretz, Israel's oldest paper, took my side over @netanyahu. It should be a wake up call for Israel to demolish outposts and bring extremist settlers to justice. haaretz.com/opinion/editor…

My interview @cnni
Despite the significant damage inflicted on Iran's nuclear program, it has not been eliminated. Tehran retains important elements of its nuclear capability, and the current absence of IAEA inspectors combined with satellite imagery that appears to show renewed activity at sites such as Mount the so-called "Pickaxe Mountain" complex, is particularly concerning.
Reestablishing international inspections and placing effective constraints on Iran's nuclear program should therefore remain a priority, even if doing so has the unintended effect of strengthening the regime politically. Preventing nuclear proliferation must take precedence over pursuing regime weakness for its own sake.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran may be prepared to preserve freedom of navigation, but only if Washington refrains from challenging what Iran considers its authority over maritime traffic through the strait, particularly by insisting that tankers use the channel adjacent to Oman rather than the route Iran seeks to regulate. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Oman today appears aimed at reaching understandings on the future management of maritime traffic, thereby reducing the likelihood of direct U.S. involvement in this dispute.
More broadly, it remains unclear whether the Trump administration has settled on a coherent strategy toward Iran. Washington is approaching a critical decision point: it can continue to prioritize the Hormuz dispute, risking that maritime disagreements overshadow and potentially derail nuclear diplomacy, or it can leave the management of Hormuz primarily to the regional states and focus its diplomatic efforts on reaching a nuclear agreement with Tehran. Trying to pursue both objectives simultaneously may prove increasingly difficult.
President Trump has previously warned that if he were harmed, he had already left instructions for overwhelming retaliation against Iran. His latest statement therefore represents continuity rather than a major policy shift. Likewise, there is little reason to doubt that Iran continues to seek revenge for the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei; this requires no classified intelligence to assess. Israel is likely to use these threats as further evidence in arguing to the Trump administration that any agreement with the Islamic Republic is ultimately destined to fail. At the same time, many policymakers in Washington believe that Israel will do everything possible to prevent a U.S.-Iran agreement from materializing, a perception that continues to shape the debate inside the administration.

"Morris Katz hyped Platner as a Bernie Sanders successor who could captivate the progressive base of the Dem Party better than AOC, who he saw as a losing nominee, two Democratic sources revealed. One reason Katz favored Platner’s chances over AOC was that he’s a man."
