1/6 Other than the fact that the authors use euphemisms like “two-tiered legal system” or “system of Israeli legal supremacy in the territory” (there’s a single word that describes that!), one highly problematic part is the subsection “The need to rebuild the [PA]’s legitimacy.”

The full interview.

Paul Begala is right. If you're a liberal, there's good reason to stand with Israel.

Gavin Newsom confirms he is a Zionist. He says he “reveres the State of Israel” and is “proud to support the State of Israel.” He also says he regrets using the word apartheid to describe the current state of Israel and clarifies that he was only channeling Tom Friedman’s concerns about where Israel was headed under Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership.

my response to Mayor Mamdani, the reporters calling me, etc.

📢📢📢The IDF and the U.S. Army have launched a broad, joint operation aimed at fundamentally targeting the Iranian terrorist regime and removing long-term existential threats to the State of Israel. Accordingly, several necessary security adjustments have been implemented, including the closure of the crossings into the Gaza Strip, among them the Rafah Crossing, until further notice. The rotation of humanitarian personnel is postponed at this stage. It should be emphasized that the closure of the crossings will have no impact on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.* The substantial quantities of food that have entered since the beginning of the ceasefire amount to four times the nutritional needs of the population, according to the UN methodology. Therefore, the existing stock is expected to suffice for an extended period. COGAT will continue to maintain continuous contact with the international community and will provide updates on any developments.
