After five days of exchanging blows, Israel and the minor but well-equipped Gaza-based organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad stopped this particular round, another in a seemingly endless series. As expected, both sides issued self-serving claims of victory. Obviously, propaganda and politics aside, they each have different standards by which to measure their respective balances, as does the major...

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi visited Damascus last week for talks with his counterpart Bashar Al-Assad. The main issues were economic, but the visit - the first since the Syrian civil war erupted a dozen years ago - also signaled Tehran’s growing influence over the Assad regime, secondary only to the Russian role in the war-torn country’s affairs.

As a nation whose defense doctrine was based on keeping the smallest possible regular military force backed by reserves to be mobilized in emergencies, Israel put a lot of stock in deterrence, hoping for wide intervals between wars. But deterrence has many levels and many target audiences, and Israel has in recent years struggled with updating and refining this notion as it confronts Palestinian t...

"Binational boats beyond Bab-el-Mandeb:" This could be a fitting headline for a groundbreaking - or in this case perhaps sea-breaking - activity undertaken in March but revealed only about a week ago. The Israel Navy and the US Fifth Fleet linked up far away from Israel’s borders, more than 2,000 kilometers south of Eilat, as vessels of these friendly navies performed mutually beneficial duties in...

Obviously,...

Whether you call it the Persian Gulf - as the Iranians see it from its Eastern Shore, or the Arabian Gulf from a Western perspective, its waters have always been tense. There are competing regional powers such as Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and even lesser ones that are still energy and economy powerhouses due to their oil wealth and world powers. But recently, calmer winds seem to be blowing in...

In 1948, Great Britain was the dominant great power in the region, with France competing with it and the Soviet Union looking for openings. The United States was reluctant to take over as the leading Western power but ha...

It has become a cliché to claim that Israel is facing simultaneous threats from several quarters - within it, on its boundaries with adjacent entities and territories and outside it. The challenges are always there, but most of the time they erupt serially rather than concurrently - and can be dealt with accordingly. In recent weeks, however, different threats seemed to materialize day after day a...
