“After months of pressuring Israel to negotiate a hostage deal with terrorists, the Biden administration came to realize that negotiating with terrorists is a dead end. Postponing an inevitable war to please voters won’t lead to stability and peace….Sticking your head in the sand will not remove the threat. Trading your most fundamental principles for short-term political interest will lead to more chaos. America shouldn’t wait for things to go completely out of control before taking action. And the Biden administration must choose between winning the election or winning the war. Strong leaders are not afraid of taking risks, weak leaders try to please everyone.”
— Mosab Hassan Yousef, April 20, 2024
Wishing all of our Jewish readers a Joyous Passover, and one of true Herut— of freedom for all of the hostages that remain in captivity, and from the fear inflicted upon the entire nation of Israel by the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all of its many tentacles throughout the world.

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the evolving dynamics of the Middle East conflict and its geopolitical implications. In this engaging session, we will delve into the shifting landscape of regional confrontations, moving beyond the traditional Arab-Israeli paradigm to a broader Western versus Iranian blocs confrontation. The recent Israeli military operations against Hamas will be analyzed as a significant milestone in this new reality, reflecting deeper strategic alignments in the region.
Furthermore, we will examine Russia's expanding interests in the Middle East and the "Global South" through the lens of Jerusalem. Gain valuable insights into Russia's strategic motivations and its impact on regional dynamics, shedding light on the complexities of geopolitical interactions in this critical area.
In addition, our discussion will explore the bilateral relations between Israel and both Russia and Ukraine following key geopolitical events in 2022 and 2023. Specifically, we will analyze the ramifications of the events of February 24, 2022, and October 7, 2023, on the diplomatic landscape of the Middle East and beyond. This session promises to offer nuanced perspectives and expert analysis on the intricate web of international relations shaping the Middle East today.
Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of the complex geopolitical forces at play in the Middle East and their global ramifications.
