I arrived in Israel early in the morning, and, shortly after dropping my things off at my cousin’s house, we headed for a gathering in front of the Knesset of families who had members either murdered or kidnapped on 10/7. The protest was as personal as it ever gets. There was a small platform and some sound equipment, but, when I arrived, they were not being used. There were a couple of tables where they were selling “bring them home” T-shirts, of which I bought two, one for my cousin and one for myself. There was also a table with simple refreshments. But mainly there were people sitting on plastic chairs in small circles of six or eight, silently sharing their ineffable grief.

President Biden warned Israel’s leaders on Tuesday that they were losing international support for their war in Gaza, exposing a widening rift with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who rejected out of hand the American vision for a postwar resolution to the conflict.

Mr. Biden delivered the blunt assessment of America’s closest ally in the Middle East during a fund-raiser in Washington, where he described Mr. Netanyahu as the leader of “the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” which “doesn’t want a two-state solution” to the country’s long-running dispute with Palestinians.

Half of young Americans are either unsure of the Nazi Holocaust’s authenticity or outright believe it to be a “myth,” according to a recent survey that reveals a worrying trend in the U.S. across the younger generation.

Somewhere beneath the rambling town of Khan Yunis, Yahya Sinwar, the murderous leader of Hamas in Gaza, is awaiting his fate. The terrorist leader, who orchestrated the October 7 atrocity and the deaths of 1,200 innocent Israelis, knows that his days are numbered.

Either the sixty-one-year-old Palestinian will die from the impact of a 500-pound satellite-guided Joint Direct Attack Munition bomb exploding above the fetid hole in which he is hiding or his life will end in a hail of bullets fired by Israeli commandos, with orders to kill and not capture the Hamas leader.

It is an underpublicized fact that the Israeli-Hamas war is unfolding as an overwhelming Israeli success. The Israel Defence Forces are now operating over practically the entire territory of Gaza. They have eliminated or shut down hundreds of miles of the Hamas tunnel network and uncovered and removed large quantities of Hamas arms and munitions. The Israeli general staff has revealed that for the first time, Hamas warriors are beginning to surrender on assurances of civilized treatment.
