Gaza

Israel must make it clear to Hamas that letting Islamic Jihad trigger another widespread escalation does not serve its interests or its continued existence.

What is Western support for “Israel’s right to exist within secure and recognized borders” worth if those borders cannot be defended?

Might more be done to advance an Iranian counter-revolution? Uri Lubrani certainly thought so, and he was not naive.

The increasing rocket fire from Gaza at Israel reflects a tragic reality in which neither Israel nor the Palestinians want a confrontation, but both sides may be helpless to stop it. Meanwhile, the Islamic world will not really support the Palestinians.

Prof. Efraim Inbar argues that Israel should adhere to its longstanding approach of using sticks and carrots in the Palestinian arena.
