There seems to be a consensus that this is a bridge to something. The question is: what is that something
I refuse to celebrate death, I’m waiting to celebrate life, ... The picture of victory is the final hostage, not Sinwar in a coffin,
Sinwar wasn’t killed in some brazen and sophisticated raid, so his death may not be as much of a boost as Bibi would hope,
Precisely now – we must increase the military pressure, occupy maximum territory and stop the ongoing supply of aid to Hamas terrorists,
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword
There is no victory whatsoever in this war against Hamas without the return of the hostages,
Now that Sinwar has evidently been killed, ... there is zero justification for doing anything other than all means possible and necessary to get the hostages home.”
I fear that the motives of Netanyahu’s government are never entirely pure,
Now is the time to move on, move towards a cease-fire in Gaza,
It leaves him in one sense in a strong position,
There’s going to be huge pressure on him to arrange a cease-fire deal now, from internally in Israel to get the hostages back and from right around the world including from Israel’s allies to bring the killing in Gaza, including of civilians, to an end,
Earlier today, reports circulated on social and Israeli media that an UNRWA staff member was killed together with the Hamas head in Gaza,

If we have internal strife among ourselves, even physical conflict between Israelis, Israel will still survive. It will survive that and that’s the point. [But] anyone who cares about the future of Israel has to understand that without solving the Palestinian issue, Israel won’t survive,
Rabin was the closest prime minister to getting a peace settlement in the Middle East. He hated the settlers — really hated them. And he was ready to settle with Abu Mazen [PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas], though he didn’t like him. He understood that’s the only solution for Israel’s future,
The mission is far from accomplished
Bibi is chained to two ministers in his coalition government who dream of rebuilding the temple of the kings of Judea … It is unbelievable. It is Messianic. And they are menacing every time there’s a chance of a deal to release the hostages, a deal with the Palestinians and the opportunity for compromise,
Netanyahu’s interested in war lasting for as long as possible, so it leaves him in his seat,
Hezbollah had everything ready to pull off the same kind of action as Oct. 7. I cannot say that I’m against the Lebanon incursion. It is a necessity,
