The Late Show – Mishpacha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One simple question kept repeating itself in Israeli politics this year: Why only now? On the draft law, the splintered right, Syria and Lebanon, even the relationship with Trump — initiatives seemed to materialize only after their moment had passed. And no one embodied that pattern more than Binyamin Netanyahu. When Bibi really wants something, nothing stands in his way. That’s how he’s postponed his political obituaries to become Israel’s longest-serving prime minister. But this year, another
Right Moves – Mishpacha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Yavneh and its sages” belongs to the Tishah B’Av story of the Churban, but this week I picked up a piece of wisdom from Yavneh that sheds light on Netanyahu’s thinking as he launches his election campaign.

Loud and clear, he took a tough line against the parties that have been his most dependable partners for the past 15 years. First came the carefully planted leak on Channel 14: Netanyahu reportedly promised in a closed-door meeting that under his next government, chareidim who are not learning would either en
Fault Lines – Mishpacha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From Iran’s endgame to the fractures inside MAGA and the Democratic Party, Diaspora Affairs minister Amichai Chikli maps the forces reshaping Israel’s relationship with America As Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu heads to Washington — and with the unprecedented prospect of facing calls for his arrest should he later visit New York for the UN General Assembly — Israel’s relationship with its closest ally is entering uncharted territory. The military campaign against Iran has reached a critical j
