Netanyahu says victory opens path to expand Abraham Accords. However, it will not “change the face of the Middle East” anytime soon.

In unity, there’s strength to confront Trump. In disunity, cowardice. Why didn’t the nation’s top 20 law firms sign a friend-of-the-court brief against Trump’s vindictive executive orders?

A few days ago, the influential American newspaper The Wall Street Journal published an interesting column by its former editor-in-chief Gerard Baker, “The Strategy and Pitfalls of Trump’s New World Order.” In full accordance with the joke about how to teach geography to lazy schoolchildren (“stun — intrigue — explain”), Baker begins with a backhand […]
