Israel must establish a genuine state commission of inquiry into Oct. 7, which is needed not just to assign responsibility but to understand how an entire system collapsed and prevent a recurrence.

Israel faces a decisive battle over narrative as the "Gaza Genocide" label spreads. The government must acknowledge its mistakes and provide transparent evidence; otherwise, the verdict will stand.

Israel could be at risk of losing the narrative, with the world believing that Israel's reaction to October 7 was one of collective punishment.

The largest number of claims and unhonored tickets British Airways will have faced this year, and likely in many years, involve Israelis.

The prime minister has been beholden to religious and ultra-nationalist parties for most of his career.

Recognition alone – currently planned by France, Britain, Belgium, Canada, and others – will not bring peace.

Netanyahu’s policies are alienating American Jews, threatening Israel’s key support in Washington and risking its diplomatic future.

The first priority must be to bring home every last hostage. If Hamas later balks, that will be one thing. But if not, then the deal must be completed.

Maturity, and strategy, require the correct identification of the path that is the least bad.

Hamas has won a “hunger narrative,” and this is why countries like France and Britain are now threatening to recognize the state of Palestine. That’s somewhat true, but it misses the bigger picture.
