Today is Yom HaShoah. I sat down with my mother to share my grandparentsโ€™ story, from the Holocaust to rebuilding a life. This isnโ€™t just memory. Itโ€™s about responsibility, continuity, and why weโ€™re here. Please take a few minutes to listen and share. youtu.be/YKUjdBtGMlM?si=PtCEโ€ฆ

Just published in JNS: โ€œVictory Is Not a Numbers Game.โ€ Israelโ€™s military strength is not measured by troop numbers alone, but by leadership, strategy, and clarity of mission. The real debate is not how many soldiers we haveโ€”but how we define victory. jns.org/opinion/victory-is-nโ€ฆ

From exile to empire. Israel is no longer the underdog. Weโ€™re leadingโ€”militarily, economically, diplomatically. The region has changed, and weโ€™re at the center.I wrote about what comes next. ๐Ÿ‘‡ blogs.timesofisrael.com/fromโ€ฆ

A new regional reality is shaping up. This is a small glimpse into what we have done so far. Israel is fighting on behalf of the entire Western world. And winning!
Proud to share the Security Snapshot report on the Israel-Iran war by @idsfisrael's David Institue for Policy and Strategy! We included the full data on sites attacked in Iran, including strategic nuclear and missile sites; casualties in Israel by indiscriminate missiles coming from Iran; attack drones; eliminated Iranian officials; and much more.

Tonight, Israel recovered the bodies of Aviv Atzili & Yair Yaakovโ€”civilians murdered by Hamas on Oct 7. A permanent ceasefire wouldโ€™ve meant releasing their killers. Now? Hamas gets no reward for their crimes. #Israel #Hamas #October7

๐Ÿšจ No, Calcalistโ€”IDF reservists arenโ€™t the problem. Theyโ€™re the solution. Blaming those who risk their lives for our country is a dangerous narrative. I break it down here: ๐Ÿ”— blogs.timesofisrael.com/no-cโ€ฆ RT if you stand with those who serve. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโœŠ

After more than 18 months at war, we are starting to feel the weight of our responsibility. Many have tried to identify the cause of our burnout, but most have completely missed the point. I share my ideas through the eyes of a warrior. blogs.timesofisrael.com/reseโ€ฆ

They are trying to hide the fact that trucks of supplies are still passing through the Kerem Shalom and Rafiach crossings, every day. We all saw the videos of Hamasniks taking control and stealing all the supplies. THIS IS NOT "HUMANITARIAN AID" it is "SUPPLYING THE ENEMY"

"The police completed the demolition of the terrorists homes" I think the police need a lesson in home demolition from some reservists. A few thousand shekels and the damage is repaired.

And this is how we know we lost. Hamas is still strong, our hostages haven't been returned, and our southern border is still under threat. It's time the architects of the disaster go hone and let new leaders who believe in victory take over. #reservistsforvictory
