Question: Will the Lebanon peace agreement stand if Israel believes its national security is threatened?
Netanyahu advisor @FalkOphir “First and foremost, we defend Israel. We secure Israel. That's number one. And everybody understands that. Lebanon understands that. Of course, the president of the United States understands that.“
Iran-backed Hamas cracked down w/ violence against Palestinians over protests against Hamas Friday. International community said NOTHING. No condemnation of Hamas & refusal to blame Hamas terrorists standing in way of Palestinians to live better.

The importance of the U.S., Israel, Lebenon Trilateral Framework are many. But one of the key achievement is that *Lebanon recognizes the sovereignty of Israel* for the first time since the short lived recognition in the early 198Os, Abraham Accords level.

Even in the ‘Maritime Agreement' signed by the previous government, the Lebanese government *did not* recognize Israel's sovereignty.
Thankfully, Prime Minister Netanyahu overcame the international and domestic pressure and pushed the Rafah operation over the line.

Israel's "War of Redemption', on its various fronts, is probably the most targeted war of such scale in military history. Israel didnt commit genocide - it prevented one.
Breaking: The @IDF now report that they have eliminated 2,500 Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon during Operation "Roaring Lion" (since February 28, 2026).
This is a vital statistic to understand the current situation. Recently, the Lebanese Ministry of Health claimed 3,300 deaths since the beginning of the operation, making headlines in major news outlets across the world.
Assuming this statistic is accurate, it would mean the wide majority of deaths in Lebanon during this operation have been Hezbollah terrorists.
This isn't just a statistic - it is a clear sign that the way the reality in Lebanon is being presented does not reflect reality. The IDF is operating with immense precision, and the truth needs to be put out.
The IDF assessments to count terrorists eliminated, i.e. BDA, uses a wide range of intelligence capabilities, including aerial surveillance, human intelligence, cellular conversations conducted by terrorists and other technological means in order to estimate the number of eliminated terrorists at any given point in time. It's also important to understand in war, there's no such thing as 100% accurate intelligence and that's why the use of a wide range of information sources, provided by different units in the IDF (IDI, Northern Command, and others), is so important.
With Lebanese and IDF (which most media source don’t include) reported numbers, the picture is a lot different than the inversions of reality we continue to see pushed in media and by international institutions. The IDF target terrorists while taking many effective measures to mitigate harm to civilians. That’s what the numbers show.
As antisemitism rises around the world, I will keep standing up unapologetically for the Jewish community and for America’s closest ally in the Middle East.
We should feel proud of the U.S.-Israel relationship. I am grateful we have Israel to help us fight terror, to stand for freedom, and to stand for democracy.🇺🇸🇮🇱

בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא הֵסִיר תְּפִלָּתִי וְחַסְדּוֹ מֵאִתִּי.
כמעט 8 שנים של עינוי דין ורדיפה חסרת בלמים נגמרו הבוקר בטלפון אחד ונייר שקיבלתי בוואטסאפ.
אף אחד לא יחזיר לי ולמשפחתי את מה שעברנו.
אף אחד לא יתן דין וחשבון.
אף אחד לא יפיק לקחים.
אני מבקש להודות לקדוש ברוך הוא,
לאשתי טליה שעומדת לצידי במלחמת עולם,
למשפחה שמחבקת ומחזקת תמיד,
לראש הממשלה נתניהו שיש לי את הזכות הקדושה לסייע בידו,
לעורכי הדין שלי עמית חדד ונועה מילשטיין שנלחמו כמו אריות,
ולכם, שגם בימים אפורים נתתם לי שמש של אמונה גם ברגעים שבהם לא האמנתי.
שבת שלום.
Fact: “The ratio of civilian to fighters killed in the Gaza War is better than most other comparable situations.” @GadSaad That precision of the statement is key. Civilian (noncombatant) fighter (combatant participating in the hostilities). Actually one of the lowest of urban warfare history against anything comparable. Lower than any comparable battle/war (very few even close to the situation but those like battles of Manila, Seoul, Mosul or Iraq/Korean War). Yes 1:1. Yes, Hamas (and other fighters participating in the war) had over 35,000 militants. @joerogan@joeroganhq I’m more than happy to discuss where the numbers come from, any comparable situation, why all the destruction in Gaza, what else could have been done, no genocide, and more based on a decade of research and now 7 (about to be 8) trips into Gaza to directly observe the IDF during their operations against Hamas.
Today we celebrate three historic milestones: the day on the English calendar when David Ben Gurion declared Israel’s independence, the 8th anniversary of @POTUS Trump’s courageous establishment of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and Yom Yerushalayim — the liberation and reunification of Israel’s indigenous and indivisible capital under Israeli sovereignty. Happy Jerusalem Day!
In over a decade of urban warfare studies, I've studied hundreds of urban battles and urban centric wars. No military has ever taken as many measures to protect civilian than the IDF has in Gaza and despite all the lies, damn lies, & statistics this @netanyahu statement remains true. https://t.co/uQ2u5lIYu7
My new oped discusses the far-reaching implications of Qatar's involvement in the ICC scandal. The tribunal is worse than an unaccountable global independent counsel, it is a potential tool of hostile powers. https://t.co/YejDmZcPf5
