The death of Sinwar, the mastermind behind the savage October 7 attack that led to the Gaza war, presents a new challenge to Netanyahu and Hamas. Neither has realized their ultimate objective and now faces a new reality they cannot wish away The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is significant only if Netanyahu and…

The year since Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023, and Israel’s retaliation have demonstrated once again that neither has learned anything from decades of horrific violence as they continue to miscalculate each other’s intentions and resolve Israeli-Palestinian relations have reached a new nadir in the year since Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023, and Israel’s…

After 76 years of conflict laden with mutually disastrous mistakes, miscalculations, and missed opportunities, Israel and the Palestinians have created irrefutable political and factual realities they must now face In last week’s article entitled “The Four Psychological Dimensions Behind Hamas’ Attack and Israel’s Retaliation,” I explored how the historical, religious, ideological, and humanitarian dimensions have…
