For Israel, sea power will be decisive in the coming decade. That means building a real expeditionary force, to break pre-Oct 7th fortress logic, not just defending our shores, but projecting power beyond them.

The temperature is rising in the Eastern Mediterranean. Turkey’s revanchism, energy chokepoints, and maritime pressure are not side issues—they are the next strategic arena.

@SpencerGuard@Jerusalem_Post Standing for truth and justice has not, is not and likely will not ever be the path of ease and comfort. But it is the only path that leads to righteousness and greatness.
🚨 THE PA HAS BUILT A 70,000-MAN ARMED FORCE
(full report link in comments)
A new Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, @JerusalemCenter, study argues the Palestinian Authority’s security apparatus has grown far beyond the limits set under Oslo—evolving from a police force into a military-capable organization with tens of thousands of weapons, armored vehicles, and advanced training.
The most alarming part:
Millions of Israelis live within just 14–22 km of these forces.
The study warns that a future “reversal of the rifles” scenario could put central Israel at risk on a scale potentially greater than October 7.

India's defense sector is making consistent and impressive strides. This is good for a stronger strategic Israel-India alliance in the coming years.

“Lull Israel to sleep” with agreements while preparing for the next war. This is the type of cynicism the west fails to grasp. Ruthless power politics dressed for a peace conference is par for the course in this region.
And then comes the exquisite irony. The antisemite’s oldest caricature casts the Jew as the wily schemer manipulating everyone from the shadows. Yet here the alleged schemers are the ones to be lulled, while their adversaries connive how best to exploit their trust.
Stunning report cleared by Israeli censors.
“Lull Israel to sleep” with agreements while preparing for the next war. That is not diplomacy. It is ruthless power politics wearing a peace badge.
The West keeps approaching the Middle East as if signatures create intentions. Meanwhile, the region’s harder players treat agreements as instruments, time as leverage and Israeli goodwill as something to exploit.
The ugliest irony is that antisemites still fantasize about Jews as the great schemers while the actual scheming is being discussed almost in plain sight.

Check out my latest👇 on the Mecca Agreement and the Sunni ring beginning to form around Israel.
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are building a new security architecture, with Egypt potentially the hinge that could transform alignment into encirclement. Israel still has room to shape the board, but not forever.

@AmitSegal Export oriented industrialization, especially the expansion of Israel’s defense industry, is the only viable long term way to square the budgetary circle by massively increasing arms procurement while generating the employment, exports and revenue needed to help pay for it.
Ankara’s Islamist turn, neo Ottoman "blue homeland" expandionism, Hamas relocation hub and Erdogan’s explicit hostility toward Israel are inconvenient facts, not Zionist hallucinations. After October 7, Israel is not obliged to indulge them with kid gloves. If reality is smashing your Ottoman fsntasy, perhaps blame reality.
