The elections in Israel tomorrow will be a winner take all, zero sum game contest. To discuss what is at stake, Avi Abelow from Pulse of Israel and I got together in my dining room this morning for a live broadcast on Facebook. Here’s the link to the broadcast on Facebook.

Most of Israel’s commentators insist that Tuesday’s Knesset elections—the fifth in fewer than four years—are about the same thing the last four were about: Benjamin Netanyahu. If you vote for Netanyahu’s Likud Party, or for the other three parties in his right-religious bloc, then you are for Netanyahu. If you vote for caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party,…

In this week’s episode of the Caroline Glick show, in my introductory remarks, I discussed the progress in Iran’s freedom revolution, and move to Israel’s capitulation to Iran’s Lebanese legion Hezbollah, through the gas deal the U.S. compelled the caretaker government to accept. I moved then to the massive escalation in Palestinian terrorism and what the motivations of the various…

What is happening in Iran is a revolution, not a protest movement. If the Iranian people overthrow the theocratic regime that has ruled their country since 1979, their achievement will be the single most significant event in the Middle East in generations. Consider the stakes. The ayatollahs’ regime is the world’s greatest state sponsor of terrorism. The regime funds, arms,…

Back in 2019, Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid infamously accused his opponent, then-prime minister and current opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, of dictatorial tendencies and contempt for democracy. Speaking at an anti-Netanyahu demonstration, Lapid said, “Listen Bibi!…We won’t let you be Erdogan. There will be no Turkish dictator here…We won’t let you destroy the country. This is our country. You’re not…

In this week’s episode of the newly named “Caroline Glick Show,” I began a new feature: my opening. From now on, the show will be divided between opening remarks and an interview with a guest. In this week’s opening remarks I discussed Australia’s new “woke” Labour government’s announcement that it is rescinding Australia’s 2018 recognition of “West Jerusalem” as Israel’s…

It is almost impossible to grasp the danger of Israel’s present moment. A month before the Knesset elections, the caretaker government led by Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz is moving full speed ahead with a maritime agreement with an enemy state that it insists will obligate Israel in perpetuity. The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) agreement Israel…

The demonstrations in Iran have now entered a third week. How worried are the Iranian authorities? How is this wave of protests different from those in the past? And what needs to happen for the demonstrations to become a revolution and overthrow the regime? In this week’s “Middle East News Hour,” I discussed these issues with Ahmad Obali, founder and director…

In an interview with Maariv last week, former Israeli Air Force commander Amir Eshel made several startling admissions about the role he and other IDF generals played in scuttling former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s most significant strategic policies. His most startling admissions related to former U.S. president Donald Trump’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. In 2019, then-Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz appointed Eshel to…
