"Many, too many families, have heard the knock followed by a great outcry, a heartbreak and pain that could not be contained. Dear families, you have lost that which is the most precious of all. All around everything continues to develop and change, and only your sorrow is fortified in its place, deepening its roots and burdens. We try to understand the intensity of the pain and insist on remembering and reminding ourselves to learn from the events and to teach and see them as part of the defenders of the state. For our part, out of a commitment to the current generation of soldiers and their families, we will do everything to send them solely on worthy missions, we will improve the IDF's capabilities to carry out the missions successfully but no less to guard and protect the soldiers. Tens of thousands of soldiers and commanders now perform an infinite number of missions and return home safely as a result of the professionalism and concern of their commanders. This concern also includes
caring for the injured, and a supreme effort to return the captives and missing persons to their families and country."

—Lt. General Aviv Kochavi, IDF Commander

------------------------------------------------------------

Like the tremendous labor pains that produced the birth of the modern-day Jewish state of Israel in 1948, this coming Yom Ha’atzmaut is a particularly bittersweet one. There is a tremendous amount of hope swelling from Israel’s new friends from the Gulf States, yet the dangers that have aligned seem nearly monumental.

As I began writing these words, the U.S. special envoy to Iran Robert Malley was in Vienna trying desperately to engage ([link removed]) directly with the Iranians. The Iranians are great psychologists and have refused to sit in the same room with the Americans. (They are actually in different hotels.) Instead, representatives of Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China were acting as intermediaries. The United States has been reduced to the little boy who has been left out of a party with his nose pressed against the windowpane, desperate to be let in.
