Netanyahu Plans to Run Again – HotAir

Could Benjamin Netanyahu manage to resurrect his political career after October 7? Conventional wisdom considered Netanyahu a likely target for the ire of Israeli voters when the war concluded and the demand for accountability over the failures to stop the massacre crescendoed. That was not just an assumption among Democrats here in the US but […]

We’re Rejecting Israel’s Offer – HotAir

Did anyone really expect Hamas to accept an Israeli proposal on an operational pause? Especially while a generation of useful idiots put political pressure on Joe Biden to force Israel into more concessions? As usual, Hamas wants to eat its cake and have it too. They have signaled a rejection of the latest US/Israeli proposal, […]

Has Egypt Come Up With a Viable Ceasefire Deal? – HotAir

After months of ongoing negotiations between Israel and Hamas through intermediaries in Qatar seeming to be dead in the water, there are signs that a temporary breakthrough might be in the works. Surprisingly, the plan was reportedly proposed by Egypt, which had previously attempted to stay out of the hostilities as much as possible. There […]

Let’s Get Ready To Rafah – HotAir

Israel called up two new combat brigades, have re-cleared key points in central and northern Gaza, and had even partnered with Egypt on building refugee camps near Khan Younis. After the collapse of Joe Biden’s “Don’t” doctrine in Iran and the refusal of Hamas to negotiate in anything approaching […]

Come On, Man! – HotAir

Message delivered. Message received? It certainly appears that way … for now.  Last night, Israel defied Joe Biden’s “Don’t II: Craven Boogaloo” advice and hit an airbase near Isfahan, as Jazz wrote a short time ago. Initial reports made it appear that Israel had opted for the nuclear option, as in ‘hitting all the identified […]

‘Don’t Move on … Haifa’? – HotAir

Did the Israelis tell Joe Biden not to move on Chicago, too? That’s our third-largest city, just as Haifa is Israel’s. Forget Uncle Bozey for a moment. (But only for a moment; read David’s post from earlier and a killer column from Duane coming up!) This demonstrates Biden’s incompetence on more significant issues than Biden’s usual […]
