I'm pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of my new book, Netanyahu vs The Generals: The Battle for Israel's Future, with @CambridgeUP. It explores the tense relations between Israel’s longest-serving premier and the Israeli security community. #fndtn-information" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cambridge.org/core/books/net…

Congratulations to our @AU_SIS 2025-26 Scholar-Teacher of the Year, Tamar Gutner (@tgutner)! On sabbatical this semester in Stockholm, Tammi accepted the award virtually following a lecture from last year's winner, @ZivGuy.

With Israeli elections 6 months away, only 31% of Israelis say they'd vote only for a party that backs Netanyahu as PM. Just 36% say he should be the next PM. A clear majority -- 56% -- would like to see someone else.

A great event 2nite @GreeceInUSA together w/@AmericanU’s Center for Israel Studies, focused on the history & current state of Greece-Israel relations, featuring remarks @alexandridisan1&Dr. Michael Brenner+panel discussion I moderated w/Greek&Israeli DCM’s & delicious Greek food

The IDF chief is cracking down on soldiers' misconduct. Last month, he dismissed an entire battalion from the West Bank. Today, he denounced looting and messianic messaging, saying the erosion of norms is no less dangerous than operational threats. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

JD Vance should head to Israel next and endorse Bibi’s reelection campaign.

Have a good weekend, Shabbat shalom, stay safe.

New article! 🧵 "Zionism’s flipside: a reconsideration of settler colonialism in Israel/Palestine." Out now in the Journal of Israeli History. This mother f-er was rejected for years as being either too Zionist or too anti-Zionist. That should tell you something.

Thank you to @Ram_Ben_Barak and @KarivGilad for inviting me to speak to the Knesset Caucus for the Advancement of Regional Security. I said that implementing a plan in Gaza for Hamas disarmament, Palestinian technocratic leadership linked to a reforming PA, reconstruction, Israeli withdrawal, and a credible pathway to a Palestinian state can mutually reinforce the expansion of regional integration, and that this combination can serve US, Israeli, Palestinian, and regional interests.

I wish that President Trump would stop heaping praise upon Qatar & realize how devastating a role the gas Sheikhdom has played in the region, including in Gaza, where the Strip became a Hamas emirate thanks to billions of Qatari $ & turning Al Jazeera into the group's mouthpiece.

Paris inaugurates Shimon Peres Square honoring former Israeli president and prime minister Peres’ son: 'This is closure; my father forged the strategic ties with France, which to this day remains a partner of Israel' ynetnews.com/culture/articl…

Important report from The Arab Barometer: As much as people in the west might fret that the two-states-solution is dead, it (or its version of Israeli-Palestinian confederation), a large majority of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza still think it is the only realistic solution, despite of, or maybe because of, the horrors of the last three years. And they are right. What is even more surprising, a majority of Israelis, as well, think that either the two state solution or a federation is the right one (despite decades of hostile government, media, and education system). Now the only thing to do is to get these majorities to positions of power... arabbarometer.org/media-news/ara…

Economists warn of a potentially irreversible brain drain as 10,000s of Israelis have left #Israel in the past few years, many of them highly skilled tech engineers and doctors bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Hamas finally admits Oct 7 brought disaster on the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, the admission comes in the form of denial of Hamas' responsibility for the war crimes & crimes against humanity they perpetrated Oct 7, by claiming the IDF & Palestinian "traitors" disguised as Qassam Brigade fighters were the ones to kill civilians.

CONFIRMED USS Gerald R. Ford ordered to deploy immediately to the Middle East. The Ford and its aircraft carrier strike group arrived in the Caribbean on Nov 16 from the Med. Now it is heading back to the Mediterranean.

No one knows what this actually means. Netanyahu is skipping next week’s inaugural meeting because he can’t afford to be seen with Erdogan, the Qataris, or Abbas (should he come). Nor will he like what they have to say about Gaza’s future.

Trump says Israeli president Herzog needs to be ashamed of himself for not giving Netanyahu a pardon
