Gidi Grinstein was the youngest person at the Camp David Summit and says Trump's Middle East plans aren't as original as they look, tracing everything back to one man: Henry Kissinger. Watch: thespirocircle.com/p/middle-easte…

Queueing at Luton Airport passport control in the line entitled for British - and many other - citizens. “Would have been quicker to take a dinghy,” I say to someone near. Literally dozens of passengers hear me and cheer. I am, and always have been, a man of the people. 🇬🇧

🇮🇱📉 When Israel Lost the World: The 2025 Turning Point (And How It Happened) Israel is winning on the battlefield but collapsing in the court of global opinion. Gidi Grinstein breaks down why Israel’s reputation has suffered since October 7 — from social media failures to political polarization in the West, and key strategic mistakes in 2025.

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 🇱🇧 As Israel heads toward elections and the U.S. approaches midterms, political pressure is rising - but not evenly across all sides. While Western leaders often push for deals *before* elections, their counterparts may wait them out. @GidiGrinstein and I explore: - Why elections can actually prevent deals - The tension between Israel and the U.S. on Lebanon - Why Iran negotiations look unlikely - And why Lebanon may be the only realistic breakthrough

"What happened in Gaza from March 2025 to August 2025, even according to the Israeli government, was a very big mistake." I hear from Gidi Grinstein, the youngest person at the Camp David Summit in 2000, about the moment Israel's support began to collapse.

New for @ForbesIsrael: The cohort now entering the workforce has had, to put it mildly, a strange preparation. Now, they are entering the workforce in an AI disruption cycle that is accelerating faster than any analyst predicted. “Every day you open the news, and you see that Meta lays off 30,000 people and Amazon fires 15,000 people,” said Tom Lahat, co-founder and CXO of @TailorBrands. “The people they are firing are from all departments: the developers, the back end, the analysts. And every morning you read the new Google or Anthropic update, and you’re like: who’s going to get it now?” Today, young people are wondering if joining a company, in the traditional sense, is even the right move.

Striking difference in the age of Dem candidates in Trump’s first midterm (2018) vs his second (2026). - Median age dropped from 63 to 45.5 - Share under 50 soared from 11% to 63%. We have 3 living presidents all born in 1946 - it might finally be time for generational leadership change in the US.

Israel has confronted the reality of the Muslim Brotherhood militarily. Europe has largely approached the issue as a matter of integration, social cohesion and civil liberties. Given Golders Green this week, that approach is now, of course, under strain. jns.org/analysis/israe…

"As antisemitism rises and Jewish communities reassess their future on the continent, governments face mounting pressure to demonstrate that democratic tolerance does not extend to movements that undermine democratic values themselves. So far, they are not meeting that moment."
James Spiro@JamesSpiro

Me for @JNS_org in January: "For Jewish communities in the United Kingdom and across Europe, the consequences of inaction are tangible... ...Pro-Hamas demonstrations, calls for Israel’s destruction and harassment of Jewish institutions have forced many governments to confront uncomfortable questions about the ideological currents flowing through their cities." jns.org/analysis/israe…

“Without its Jews, Britain would not be Britain.” 🫶
Theresa May@theresa_may

I agree with @chiefrabbi: “words of condemnation are no longer sufficient." Yesterday's attack in Golders Green, and the escalating attacks of recent months, have shown, beyond doubt, that we must do more to protect our Jewish community. Without its Jews, Britain would not be Britain. In the first instance we must now see better policing of marches which have created a dangerous atmosphere of intimidation and violence.

New for @ForbesIsrael: The last two years in AI have been disorienting. Every week brought a new model, a new product launch announced on X, and a new reason to reconsider assumptions that felt settled only months before. According to Tom Findling, Co-founder and CEO of @ConifersAI, it's merely a prologue for what’s to come. “The last two years were a promo to what’s going on,” he said. If the explosion of GPT-4, autonomous agents, Claude’s product launches, and multimodal models were just the opening act, what exactly is coming next? WATCH: forbes.co.il/e/the-ai-chaos…

My tree continues to produce unusually large lemons. It has produced thousands this season. We have given away at least 150 to friends and neighbours. My family is drowning in lemonade.

There are many excellent places in Israel to practice one’s Hebrew. There are few places worse than a barbershop. In other unrelated news, there is a three-week pause on all my recordings effective immediately.
