The immediate existential threat to Israel has been removed. For now, Israelis can breathe. But that is true only for this moment, not necessarily for the next one.

The Lebanon agreement may be the lesser evil, but Netanyahu’s false claims, erratic monologue, and call for unity raise deeper questions about his fitness to lead.

The rotten deal Netanyahu is weaving in public with his non-Zionist partners allows the haredi sector to milk Israel's reserves dry without contributing anything.

The prime minister's tenure demonstrates a blend of personal political survival and complex regional pressures, leaving Israel with few clear paths to long-term security.

Talks between the two were long, intense, and crowded, taking place over several weeks. Those who spoke with them during this period heard many mutual compliments, although without understanding.

The prime minister carries ultimate responsibility for national security. The decisions were made during his tenure, and the campaign now unfolding bears his imprint.

The IRGC ignored the fact that Israel changed after the October 7 massacre, and now they’re paying the price. Dictatorships don’t fall from outside; they collapse from within.

Five months after Netanyahu sketched his five principles for ending the war, the ones defining “total victory,” it turns out it was all 'kalam fadi', empty talk.

He flew to Miami with a clear brief: not our national security. Not Iran. Not Gaza, Syria, or Hezbollah either. He is focused on one thing: the pardon.

Netanyahu is responsible for this loss. Since he is not foolish, he may have understood that he needed to aim for a “victory picture” and built the Qatar strike as that image.
