Peloni:  The focus of Washington should be on stabilizing the region.  Yet, instead, it is arming the Turks, paying the Ayatollahs, partnering with the Qataris, preserving Hezbollah, protecting Hamas, and ignoring the Houthis.  Is this how regional stability is borne?

The new sales pitch is unbelievable.

“$300 BILLION for the Ayatollahs? Don’t worry—it’s for American corn.”

Iran doesn’t need corn.
Iran doesn’t need wheat.
Iran doesn’t have a produce problem.

Iran has a freedom problem.

In a time of escalating antisemitism, Israel and the Diaspora must operate as one people facing one threat environment

Peloni:  This was an important article by Leonard Grunstein.  There should be no involvement of Iran in Lebanon, no connection between Iran and any peace talks between Israel and Lebanon, and no linkage between Lebanon and Iran at any level.  Doing so is not simply immoral and unproductive, it is actually illegal given Hezbollah’s FTO status.

Let Israel and Lebanon finally solve the problem, once and for all time, without interference from outsiders.

The election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City was already a deeply worrying sign, a clear indication of the dangerous direction the city of New York, where I grew up, is heading. A socialist-Islamist now leads America’s largest city, the financial capital in the world, a status now in clear danger of being lost.

Peloni:  It is relevant to note that peace talks including the leadership of the LAF with Israel broke down this morning.  The goal line of having the LAF act as an honest independent party is going to be Iran’s failsafe in these negotiations, and this was always going to be the case.  The way to eliminate Iran’s dominiation of Lebanon lies in dealing with the Iranian leadership in Iran, not in having the complicit LAF dealing with the Iranian proxy in Lebanon.  Cut off the Iranian funding, THEN follow thru in Lebanon.

The US had pressured Israel to adhere to a real ceasefire with Hezbollah. In the past, the ceasefires were only in name, and strikes continued against one another.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | June 24, 2026

A new round of Israel-Lebanon talks began in Washington on June 23 in a complex environment because Iran is trying to salvage its Hezbollah proxy.

Iran has tied the conflict in Lebanon to the Iran talks in Switzerland. Therefore, the US has pressured Israel to adhere to a real ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Peloni:  David Brody makes some very important reflections while considering recent events with Trump’s Iran deal.  First, it is important to note that it is Trump’s deal, and that no matter how well or how poor Vance applies himself, the current negotiations are entirely Trump’s undertaking.  That is why he has repeatedly made unexpected pronouncements regarding the negotiations.  Beyond this, Vance is placing his entire political credibility on the line base on how he proceeds in this negotiation, even beyond whether the negotiations are successful or not.  Notably, Vance has played his cards thus far in hosting this gambit in a manner which might be argued to diminish his political hopes.  Also Brody indicates below, I have never forgotten Trump’s dead pan jest about blaming this entire fiasco on Vance, as I too did not interpret that  Trump’s ironic statement was actually intended to garner any laughs.  Regardless of the earnest efforts by Trump and Vance to gain Iran’s support for any deal, I still remain convinced that these attempts will ultimately prove fruitless as the Iranians are predictably who they are.

So in two months time, this will likely leave Trump with the unenviable choice of either punting further with a further extension on the farcical negotiations, surrendering entirely to Iran while claiming a faux victory, or resuming the war while still in need of some ground force to bring about any victory, and this choice will come just shortly before the looming midterms.  Only one of these options would leave Vance in a better light, and that would require the Iranians offering him a clear political victory just before the crucial US midterms.

Peloni:  There is an important conversation to be had regarding this topic.  Should Israel reveal its nuclear program to the world in hopes of providing a deterrence to its enemies?  Comments would be appreciated.

And the box in this case contains the official Israeli policy of never admitting to being in possession of nuclear bombs. This policy needs to be re-thought.

Peloni:  Once again, it is being proposed that Israel should TRUST Lebanon to contain or control Hezbollah.  While this gambit would allow Israel and Washington to each save face, it belies the reality that Lebanon has been complicit in supporting Hezbollah for decades.  This only way that Hezbollah can be ‘disarmed’ is to first see their masters in Iran fall from power, and thereby end the subsidies by which Hezbollah maintains its financial support.  The advent of cheap drones menacing the world makes even the elimination of missiles not enough of a solution to protect the North.  Lebanon must be freed of its Iranian masters, and instead, Washington has seen fit to allow Iran to raise significant revenue streams.  Who do you think will receive the first check from the revitalized Iranian cophers?  I think the answer to this question is quite clear

The interests of Lebanon and Israel align on the core issue of disarming Hezbollah.

Hussain Abdul-Hussain

Months ago, I argued that Israel had reformulated the traditional Arab peace proposal. The old formula of “land for peace” held that Israel would cede territory in exchange for Arab recognition and normalized ties. Israel has flipped the formula to “peace for land.” The Arabs would first make peace and disarm militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah, with Israeli territorial concessions to follow.

Peloni:  Avi Abelow articulates so well the core feature which brings us strength and which makes us powerful: unity.

The battles over the draft, national identity, Judea and Samaria, against terrorism, and against international pressure are all part of the struggle over whether the Jewish people will continue embracing their national revival or retreat from it.

Avi Abelow | Jun 22, 2026

The news in Israel is a worrying surge of haredi protests over new legislation to address the IDF draft. Roads are blocked. There are violent clashes with the police. A Supreme Court judge was attacked in his home.

Thousands of haredi Jews are protesting against sanctions implemented by the Attorney General.
