Is something is shifting between Washington and Tel Aviv?

The White House says the US did not provide missile defense for Israel in its latest exchange of fire with Iran. That's a first. It suggests Trump may finally be putting his foot down with Netanyahu.

That matters because US-Iran talks are at a critical moment. If Trump can show he can actually rein in Israel, Iran has reason to believe a deal is possible.

The next 72 hours will tell us whether that window stays open -- or whether Netanyahu moves to slam it shut. @tparsi in @RStatecraft

Me cuesta mucho decir esto, porque no es una política que esté entre mis preferencias, pero, al final, Verónika Mendoza fue mucho más que Nieto Montesinos. Ella eligió votar por PPK para que no gane el fujimorismo. Nieto eligió terruquear vilmente, mientras fingía neutralidad.

🚨Juan José Santiváñez se habría acercado a Fuerza Popular, a quienes les ofrecido el voto de la policía, según tres versiones que coinciden en otro detalle: el gral Miyashiro se opone.

👉🏼 Santiváñez nos acaba de responder, a través de un contacto, que no está con ningún candidato. Sin embargo, otro personaje cercano a él nos ha descrito que Santiváñez “está feliz” con la proyección de “volver a ser ministro” (en el eventual gobierno de Keiko Fujimori).

🔴 En contexto: Santiváñez es de tendencia fujimorista, según su historial en redes. Hoy la Policía, bajo la dirección de Óscar Arriola, ha ordenado que todos vayan a votar a como dé lugar. Lo mismo con los militares bajo el mando del fujimorista ministro de Defensa Amadeo Javier Flores Carcagno.

It’s no fun to say this but - as of this writing - Hezbollah has won the war against Israel. Yes, it is weaker and yes, it has been hit hard. But what happened this week - the linkage with Iran that has been legitimized by Trump & the ceasefire the president has imposed on Israel - all mean that Hezbollah has not only survived while retaining significant capabilities that continue to kill Israeli soldiers almost daily, but now, Iran calls the shots once again of what happens in Lebanon.

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

Un soldat de Tsahal parle, et son témoignage fissure le récit officiel israélien. ⚠️
Règles d’engagement floues, civils traités comme des ennemis potentiels, « protocole moustique », destructions massives, honte morale : ce n’est plus l’histoire de quelques brebis galeuses, mais celle d’un système militaire que même certains de ses propres soldats n’arrivent plus à défendre.

Quand un soldat israélien affirme que ce qu’il a vu à Gaza était « illégal », « pas moral » et « mal », faut-il encore parler de dommages collatéraux ou enfin regarder en face ce que cette guerre a produit ? 🧨

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants to phase out US military grant aid.

But while this may sound like a step toward ending US military assistance to Israel, it's not. As Steven Simon explains in his latest research brief for the Quincy Institute:

What top Israeli officials are quietly backing is not a reduction in American support, but a reorganization of it: shifting billions in resources from State Department–administered foreign aid grants into general Pentagon procurement accounts, industrial partnerships, and sustainment pipelines.

The shift will strip away the political and diplomatic oversight mechanisms that make the relationship publicly accountable, moving it from a visible annual aid vote into the opaque machinery of defense acquisition, where oversight is limited and political accountability is minimal.

The result would be a defense relationship that is simultaneously deeper and less transparent.

[Palestina En Español 🎒 @PalestinaVence]

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Un profesor israelí de Estudios del Holocausto, con casi 30 años de experiencia investigando genocidios y violencia estatal, rompió el silencio.

“Mi nombre es Amos Goldberg. Soy profesor israelí. He dedicado casi tres décadas a estudiar el Holocausto, el genocidio y la violencia masiva.

Después de todo lo que he investigado y enseñado… lo que Israel está haciendo en Gaza es un genocidio.”
Amos Goldberg no es un activista cualquiera. Es un académico reconocido dentro de Israel, especialista en uno de los temas más sensibles para la sociedad israelí.

Su declaración tiene un peso enorme porque no viene desde la izquierda radical ni desde el activismo palestino, sino desde alguien que ha pasado su vida estudiando cómo se construyen y justifican los genocidios.

Cuando un experto israelí en Holocausto usa esa palabra con conocimiento de causa, está rompiendo uno de los tabúes más fuertes dentro de su propia sociedad: comparar las acciones del Estado de Israel con los patrones históricos que él mismo ha estudiado.

Esto demuestra que la acusación de genocidio no es solo una posición política, sino que también está siendo reconocida por voces académicas serias dentro de Israel.

¿Por qué crees que declaraciones como las de Amos Goldberg son tan importantes para romper la narrativa dominante?

¿Crees que más académicos e intelectuales israelíes se atreverán a hablar con esta claridad?
