Editor's Notes: Israel's election exposes deep political divisions after Gantz withdrawl - comment
Here is my request, the only one I’ll make before the polls open. Give yourself permission to notice one thing that complicates your choice.
Opinion
Violence, theft during olive harvest must be publicly, explicitly condemned - editorial

True peace in our region can only be guaranteed by a grand alliance between Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Kurdistan, and a united Azerbaijan.
Who made Gaza hospitals and homes targets? - opinion
Hamas chose this war on October 7, then built its strategy around erasing the line the law of war exists to draw.
Election polls get it wrong: The human biases behind the numbers - opinion
Polls offer precise percentages and projected seats, but the people behind the numbers are unpredictable.
I met Gadi Eisenkot. He did not perform leadership. He practiced it - opinion
Israel will be renewed not by the loudest people in the room, but by those who enter ready to work. Gadi Eisenkot and Yaffa Tabaja may represent that renewal.
The world needs Netanyahu’s kind of leadership
Conviction must be matched by judgment and responsibility. At this dangerous moment, Netanyahu offers the experience and determination to make that combination count

Trump's Netanyahu endorsement crosses a line in Israeli democracy - editorial
As Israel heads to the polls, Trump's public backing of Netanyahu raises questions about foreign interference and the limits of US-Israel friendship.

The silent majority of the Israeli public must step up and choose tikkun – the repair of society to make it better – and ensure that our heroic soldiers will not have died in vain.
Replacing Netanyahu is not enough. Israel needs a strategy for ending the conflict - opinion
Israel does not need another government that manages the conflict until the next explosion.
