ISRAELI POLITICAL ANALYST AMIT SEGAL: IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir truly believes Israel must attack Iran before it becomes a nuclear power or a ballistic superpower. The decision whether to attack Iran will not be taken in a room with Zamir and Prime Minister Netanyahu, but on a phone call between Netanyahu and President Trump. If President Trump wants it to happen, it will happen.

The handwritten letter President Trump left for Joe Biden in the Oval Office on January 20, 2021 is now public, appearing in full in Biden's upcoming memoir. The warm two-page note contains no criticism and no mention of the 2020 election, and urges Biden to appreciate the history of the office each day.

The White House fired back, with Steven Cheung saying Biden should have heeded the President's wise words but instead tried to destroy the country and weaponize the justice system. Biden writes that it was as if there were two Donald Trumps, and that the letter sounded like it came from an old friend.

U.S. SPECIAL ENVOY TO MONITOR AND COMBAT ANTISEMITISM YEHUDA KAPLOUN: When 70 percent of Jews in Michigan can vote for El-Sayed, or 30 percent of Jews in New York City can vote for Mamdani, what you are seeing is a failure of the Jewish education system to provide Jewish children with an identity that they are proud of. The next generation of Jewish children need to not be educated on TikTok by Qatar as to what is a Jew, but by the Jewish community on how much pride they have to have in being a Jew.

ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES CEO BOAZ LEVY: We thought the Iranians would launch 10, 15 missiles; nobody thought they would launch hundreds of missiles within several hours, but the system worked perfectly. The 92 percent is a wonderful score for that kind of system.

FORMER WHITE HOUSE MIDDLE EAST ENVOY JASON GREENBLATT: I never bet against President Trump. I worked for him for 23 years and he managed to pull out so many rabbits out of so many hats. I think he has a chance, but without fixing the Iranian problem, no, and I think that he can do something if we get rid of this Iranian regime.

FORMER ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO THE UN GILAD ERDAN: Only a unity government today can truly address the challenges ahead of us, the battle with Iran and its terrorist proxies, Israel's standing around the world, and the need to pass a real conscription law. I encourage both Gadi Eisenkot and Prime Minister Netanyahu to enter the room, support the needed concessions, and provide the citizens of Israel the unity government that we need so much.

Israel has been holding direct talks with Arab states, including countries with no formal diplomatic ties, in a two-track effort alongside a joint regional forum with the United States focused on the Iranian threat. The Arab states are demanding a role in any future deal with Tehran, even as the Gulf prepares for extreme scenarios, including Iranian fire toward Europe and a ground attack toward Kuwait.

[Moshe Schwartz @YWNReporter]

ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES CEO BOAZ LEVY: We learned a lot, but the Iranians learned a lot as well, so we shouldn't think about what's happened up to now. We should think about the next war, and there will be a next war, no doubt. The question is when, not if.

FORMER MOSSAD CHIEF DAVID BARNEA ON IRAN: As long as this regime exists, they will pursue a nuclear weapon to fulfill their ambitions to destroy our country and sow fear in the whole world. Even now, after all of the hits absorbed by the Iranians, they are still trying to recover the nuclear program as the only means of protecting their crumbling regime, with or without an agreement.

Dozens of protesters are currently blocking Route 38 near Beit Shemesh in protest of the arrest of four yeshiva bochurim by Military Police earlier this week.

Several protesters were seen wearing helmets to protect themselves from police violence, following violent clashes and injuries during a protest in Bnei Brak about two weeks ago.
