Peloni: “I’m betting on Netanyahu’s stubborn determination” – I am betting on this as well. If Bibi were going to surrender to the West, something which is hardly in his interest, he has had plenty of opportunity to have done so by now, and instead, he has caused his opposition, both in the US and in Israel, to become ever more radical in their need to be rid of Bibi. Like a scratch which they can not reach, they act out fits of imbiclitiy and desperation to remove Bibi by any means possible, and if he were in fact going to cooperate with their treacherous plans for Israel, for what purpose would their have been any deviation from the original dead pan of everyone working together and getting along so famously as was the ruse in the first months of the year. So, I am betting on Bibi.

The IDF has been relentlessly killing Hamas’ top leaders and commanders with surgical strikes. On July 13, the long-sought military commander of Hamas in Gaza, Mohammed Deif, was assassinated.

Another dozen Hamas commanders, just below the top level, have been killed during the Gaza campaign. Only Yahya Sinwar, the man mainly responsible for the October 7 attacks, has still managed to stay alive, slithering from tunnel to tunnel underneath Gaza, bringing with him Israeli hostages whose proximity, he assumes, will preserve him from an IDF attack.

The prospect of Iran arming groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias with nuclear weapons is bad for the world’s health. (Image source: iStock)
