Here’s the excerpt posted by Netanyahu to respond to Biden where he claims he has the overwhelming support of Israelis. That’s a dubious proposition given his low standing in the polls and the deep animus towards him among so many Israelis…/2

Smotrich and Ben Gvir should be careful! If they keep up their settlement expansion and Jerusalem provocations they will inevitably be considered for U.S. sanctions. Their associates, like Yossi Dagan and Zvi Sukkot, will come under scrutiny too. Defiance of the US will have its consequences.

On Thursday, Netanyahu presented to the Israeli Cabinet his long-awaited draft for the “day after” in Gaza. Its first requirement is indefinite Israeli military occupation of Gaza, which will ensure Israel will be stuck there and no other country will come to its aid../2

“There is a complete disconnection between renewed international calls for a two-state solution and the fears and desires currently shaping Israeli and Palestinian society,” writes @Martin_Indyk. https://t.co/IftSGiAXIV

John Kelly just said in a statement that Trump “has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions.”

Simply issuing written statements is not enough: Kelly needs to go on TV and on the stump, along with Mattis & McMaster, to warn undecided voters. https://t.co/xs83R9QXKX

@MaxBoot Totally agree!

.@Martin_Indyk and @raad_zeid discuss Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s plan for the annexation of the West Bank—and how the Biden administration can put an end to Smotrich’s revanchist ambitions:

.@AnitaBMcBride led a terrific conversation tonight with 3 former White House social secretaries. @GahlBurt (Reagan), @jeremyMbernard (Obama) and Amy Zantzinger (Bush43) shared their stories and insights into a president’s soft power of social diplomacy. #presidentialsites23

That’s it.

Of 44 former Trump cabinet members contacted by ⁦⁦@Petereporter⁩ and ⁦@megan_lebowitz⁩ only four have publicly endorsed his 2024 campaign. https://t.co/P5FJMbdsNp

@MaxBoot I could not agree with you more, Max.

So much wisdom: a young Afghan girl argues the case for girls’ education (and why only women can rebuild the country) and she makes perfect sense ⬇️

This is a must read for all aspiring diplomats and negotiators: @Martin_Indyk’s sober, thorough and balanced account of Kissinger’s shuttle diplomacy, that helped deliver a new political order in the Middle East. Indyk presents Kissinger as he was: insecure, competitive, conniving and yet brilliant for managing to bring all the parties together for his deal. His failures stand out i.e. an Israel-Jordan deal, his failure to understand the needs of the Palestinians (and to address them), his Israeli bias etc and yet he manages to create an environment where conflict has been avoided for 50 years.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

As any lover of Wagner operas know, it’s not the overture, however dramatic, that really counts, but the finale, where the bodies finally emerge.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

"Master of the Game" by @Martin_Indyk looks at Kissinger's Middle East shuttle diplomacy and explains better than any other account just how he was so successful at managing the world's most complex negotiations.

In ‘The Land of Hope and Fear,’ veteran New York Times correspondent Isabel Kershner crisscrosses ‘a country on the precipice’ and comes away with ‘great faith in the people.” A great review in the Times of Israel. https://t.co/UAo7mtth10

Drop everything and read my NYT colleague Isabel Kershner’s new book on Israel!
