🪩New Article!🪩

How do states mobilize diaspora individuals for foreign policy purposes? In our new article at @BritJPIR, @JasonSilverma14, @YoniAbramson, and I answer this question. The article's accessible at accessible at https://t.co/T9UaiEizAh, and here's a short thread:

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

The strategic significance of the Israel-Lebanon framework agreement is that, if successfully implemented, the agreement could have implications beyond Lebanon and potentially inform future disarmament efforts in Gaza.

Opinion: Hamas has forcefully preserved its monopoly on violence and remains the only Palestinian governing authority in the areas still under its control in Gaza.

Does Israel’s current approach to Gaza risk inadvertently cementing Hamas rule?

Israeli Ch 11: Hamas prevented, through the threat of arms, Palestinian contractors inside Gaza from crossing into Israeli-occupied Rafah to start constructing a new city set to be built there, financed by the UAE. The project was approved by Trump's Board of Peace.
Hamas wants to maintain control of Gazans, even if it means keeping them in tents surrounded by rodents.

[Tomer Persico @TomerPersico]

Claiming the “state ideology of Zionism” had to bring about what happened in Gaza is no different then saying the Palestinian national movement had to end in October 7th. It would be a lazy man’s version of historical analysis if it weren’t specifically intended to indict the subject at hand, in this case Israel. One would never entertain the notion that what happened in Rwanda was predetermined or that 9/11 is an unavoidable result of Islam, but there is a specific need to damn Zionism as a distilment of the entire West’s colonialism and racism (and for some reason, capitalism), thus having Jews serve as the sacrificial offering through which Western progressives absolve themselves of civilizational guilt. This reeks of antizionism, bad faith and shoddy scholarship.

There’s another fragile ceasefire, and this time it’s in Lebanon.

There are both pros and cons, however, the ceasefire reflects a familiar pattern: short-term de-escalation at the cost of long-term strategic ambiguity.

@ProfessorPape President Trump did the same thing to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza last October. Israel’s agreement to the ceasefire in Gaza can be significantly contributed to US pressure. It is much more difficult for Netanyahu to outflank Trump than any other US president before him.

@Reuters This is incorrect. Israeli media is reporting that the IDF killed Qassem’s senior advisor.

@HenMazzig Welcome to read my article on the Jewish Jesus and the issue of belonging in the Land.

https://t.co/V4js6Cwor4

[Jason Silverman ג׳ייסון סילברמן @JasonSilverma14]

Jesus was a Jew living in the socio-political context of a Jewish Judea, not Palestine.

Read my article on the politicization of the identity of Jesus and the issue of belonging to the Land.

[John Wight @JohnWight1]

Jesus was a Palestinian.

Happy Easter.

The real test will be whether the government has the political will to confront extreme settler violence and implement meaningful institutional change on the ground, rather than resorting to face-saving statements devoid of action. 4/4

[Jason Silverman ג׳ייסון סילברמן @JasonSilverma14]

Extreme settler violence—beyond its profound moral implications—constitutes a strategic threat to Israel’s national security.

It’s true that this is a relatively small group—yet a loud and influential one that risks dragging the country into deeper instability. 🧵1/4

[Jason Silverman ג׳ייסון סילברמן @JasonSilverma14]

A state that cannot enforce the rule of law within its own society undermines its strategic position, erodes international legitimacy, and weakens its deterrence. 3/4

On Iran’s miscalculation of regionalizing the war by attacking its Arab neighbors, Gargash added, “the folly of this Iranian strategy that will actually make Israel less of a threat and Iran more of a threat…in this war, we are seeing how important the American connection is.”

[Sam Dagher @samdagher]

"We’re not seeing 2,000 Israeli missiles and drones targeting us. We’re seeing 2,000 Iranian missiles and drones targeting us. So for countries that have relations with Israel, this relationship will be strengthened. For countries that don’t have relations, I expect that more channels will be opened," @AnwarGargash tells @ethanbronner during @CFR_org event

Opinion: Tehran’s desperate gamble to regionalize the war is a historic "own goal." By attacking the Gulf, Iran has betrayed its neighbors and forced neutral states into a de facto alliance with Israel and the US.
