There was a comical aspect to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s press appearance on Wednesday night. With his best imitation of Patton, he sternly demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abandon Israel’s war aims and instead adopt America’s, which happen to be Hamas’s war aims as well. “I urge Prime Minister Netanyahu to make this decision and proclaim that…

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant went behind Prime Minister Netanyahu’s back and joined forces with U.S. President Joe Biden to end the war. But Netanyahu fired back.

This Yom Hazikaron, I spoke with bereaved mother Sarah Schwartz on losing her son, Segev Schwartz, on Oct. 7. Segev died fighting Hamas terrorists after they infiltrated southern Israel from the Gaza Strip and entered Kibbutz Sufa near the border.
