On this Jewish holiday of Sukkot, we would like to dedicate this newsletter to the “Arba Minim,” the 4 different species that are brought together on the holiday. We hope and pray that just as the species, coming from different places with different unique attributes, unite as one, the diverse Jewish people can unite as one, in support of the rights of the Jewish people and of the State of Israel.
Iranian President Rouhani has invited countries in the Middle East to join what he called the security coalition of HOPE — a rough acronym for the Hormuz Peace Endeavor.
Rouhani has described this as a coalition that “will secure freedom of navigation, flow of energy and the regional stability in the Persian Gulf.” He has also suggested that Iran should serve as one of the leaders of this coalition because, “Iran during the last four decades fought against terrorism unequivocally… Iran is a country that has brought peace in the region.”
Coming from Iran, this proposal is rich in irony.
