Trump's Gaza Plan

Gaza reconstruction to wait until after the election

October 25, 2026

The Shin Bet has cleared 5,000 to 7,000 Palestinians for police training in Egypt, but prime minister Netanyahu has ordered their departure postponed. Preparations to build a new Rafah and deploy a multinational force have also been delayed. Sources familiar with the matter warn that the delay in establishing a Palestinian police force is prolonging Hamas' control of Gaza.

How Iran's strategy has shifted from nuclear denial to bomb threats

For years, Tehran invoked a religious decree banning nuclear weapons even as it pursued a clandestine program to develop them. Now, following the war and the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, calls for Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb are growing, and even withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is no longer taboo.

Israel faces a political tsunami in Washington

Jewish settler violence is further damaging Israel's standing in American public opinion. If Democrats take control of Congress on November 3, the consequences could extend to annual US military aid and arms sales. With support for Israel also eroding among Republicans, maintaining the status quo could backfire on Jerusalem if a Democrat wins the presidency in 2028.

It's called "liaison intelligence": Sharing information with foreign intelligence agencies, sometimes even those of hostile countries, to expand intelligence-gathering capabilities or establish and strengthen diplomatic ties. Since Oct. 7, Israeli intelligence has dramatically stepped up its efforts in this field, providing sensitive assistance to Middle Eastern countries, warnings that foiled terrorist attacks in Europe and tips that prevented assassinations.

'A radical left-wing government in Berlin would threaten Jewish life'

Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner warns against the radical Left taking power, accuses Die Linke of fostering antisemitism and lashes out at the woman who could succeed him.
