Israel-Palestine- Gulf Cyber Cooperation with Israel: Balancing Threats and RightsThe following is a corrected version of the original PolicyWatch. In recent years, Iranian adventurism and other regional developments have produced a historic convergence of interests between Israel and the Gulf Arab states, with top Israeli officials making periodic visits there, intelligence cooperation becoming a regular occurrence, and cultural and econ […]
- Trump Departs Syria: An Israeli PerspectiveIsraeli officials have been careful not to publicly criticize President Trump’s recent announcement that all U.S. military forces will be pulled out of Syria. Below the surface, however, they have exuded dissatisfaction, concern, and a desire to make the best out of the situation. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s initial public response was lukewarm, stat […]
- Sending the Right Message in Cairo: Advice for Secretary PompeoOn January 10, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will deliver a speech on America’s “commitment to peace, prosperity, stability, and security in the Middle East” as part of his eight-city tour of the region. The speech’s timing and locale (Cairo) are conspicuous, coming ten years after President Obama’s “New Beginning” address in that same city and three weeks […]
- Egyptian-Israeli Citizenship Issues Are Impeding NormalizationOn December 20, Cairo announced that it was revoking the citizenship of Yasmine Nissim, a twenty-one-year-old Egyptian woman living in Israel. According to a statement published by the prime minister’s office, the decision was made because she had acquired Israeli citizenship without notifying Egyptian authorities. Officials cited Law No. 26 (1975), part of […]

In Israel’s upcoming election, given the potential of looming indictments, many voters will want to consider whether a sitting prime minister can fulfill the responsibilities of the office while also devoting major time and attention to his legal difficulties. Regard […]

- Ever Cagey, Netanyahu Calls an Early Election He’s Expected to WinIsrael is holding early elections next year that will be a virtual referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—his longtime leadership and his personal integrity. Even so, Netanyahu’s Likud party is the prohibitive favorite to win again, according to current polling, despite bubbling security crises to the south, east, and north; an unpredictable ally ba […]

During a meeting with the parliament’s Committee on Media, Culture, and Antiquities, Anani stated, “I would not wait for someon […]
- The Big, the Small, and the Needless: Rebalancing Three UN Peacekeeping MissionsIn recent weeks, Israel has sought to address Hezbollah cross-border attack tunnels, asked Washington to impose sanctions on Beirut, and conferred with U.S. officials about countering precision missile production inside Lebanon. As tensions mount, one fact has become clearer than ever: the UN peacekeeping missions deployed around Israel are dangerously misma […]
- All Is Quiet on Iran’s Western Front, Say UN PeacekeepersThe land across the border from northern Israel, from the Lebanese shores of the Mediterranean to the mountains of the Golan Heights in Syria, has become a staging ground for Iran and its proxies in their confrontation with the West. Iran has provided Hezbollah with more than 100,000 rockets and missiles and now has begun a “precision project” to retrofit th […]
- Why Has Netanyahu Reversed Course on Early Elections?In a rather dramatic turnaround, Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has raised the stakes against a key political rival and scuttled efforts to hold early elections that seemed inevitable last week. The upshot is that his government may now remain in power until regularly scheduled elections arrive in November 2019—though his coalition’s thinning 61-5 […]
