Israel-Palestine- Israel’s Armistice with Hamas, Growing Tensions with AbbasAs Israel and the Palestinians brace for the announced unveiling of President Trump’s “deal of the century” sometime in the coming weeks, rival factions in Ramallah and the Gaza Strip have adopted contradictory strategies for managing the repercussions. The Palestinian Authority is already committed to rejecting the U.S. plan and wants Israeli prime minister […]
- After the Palestinians Reject Trump’s Peace Plan, Then What?On April 10, right after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu won reelection, U.S. national security advisor John Bolton remarked that President Trump’s plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace would be made public “in the very near future.” A week later, presidential advisor Jared Kushner, the plan’s overseer, reportedly told diplomats at Blair House to expect its r […]

- Israel and Bahrain’s Normalization SetbackOn April 14, an Israeli delegation canceled its trip to a business conference in Bahrain after weeks of Arab outcry against its scheduled attendance. That outcome should not be a surprise given longstanding popular resistance to such engagement and the lack of official diplomatic relations between Israel and regional states. Yet the recent strengthening of G […]

- New Palestinian Cabinet Faces Governance and Fiscal ChallengesOn April 13, the new Palestinian Authority (PA) cabinet, under Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, was sworn in amid one of the sharpest fiscal and governance crises since President Mahmoud Abbas took office in 2005. The debilitating financial picture and eroding governance capacity confronting this cabinet have led to a domestic legitimacy crisis and concerns […]
- Netanyahu’s Win Gives Him Leeway on Annexation and GazaPrime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s April 9 electoral victory paved the way for him to pass David Ben-Gurion as Israel’s longest-serving leader. His Likud Party and its right-wing allies won 65 seats in the 120-member Knesset versus 55 for the center bloc, even if the Likud only squeaked past its main rival, the Blue and White Party, by a 36-35 margin. A pre […]
- Benjamin Netanyahu ‘the Magician’ Is Re-Elected Israel’s Prime Minister—but at What Price?At exactly 2:00 a.m. in the deep dark before dawn on Wednesday, Benjamin Netanyahu finally strode on stage at a half-filled sports arena outside Tel Aviv and the crowd of supporters erupted in raucous cheers. “He’s a magician! He’s a magician! He’s a magician!” they chanted. The Israeli premier had done it again—securing a fourth straight term as prime minis […]
- The Future of Bibi NetanyahuAgainst all odds—and every pollster—Bibi Netanyahu managed to single-handedly win the elections in Israel. These were a referendum on his suitability to keep leading the country amid piles of pending indictments and corruption charges. He has clearly achieved his goal to reconstitute a right-wing coalition that would allow him to stay Prime Minister even if […]

This would give Netanyahu an unprecedented fifth term as Israel’s prime minister. If Netanyahu does form a government, att […]
