David Weinberg is the managing fellow of the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, who has recently published here his argument on why Israel should delay no longer but, in the face of the European countries that have decided to recognize a “state of Palestine” — which would likely have its capital in east Israel— reassert its rights to Jerusalem: “Re-liberating Jerusalem: Why Israel must assert sovereignty over its capital, now – opinion,” by David M. Weinberg, Jerusalem Post, January 24, 2026:

Peloni:  The political-security cabinet approved a sweeping set of decisions which significantly level the legal, civil, and land-administration framework overseeing the governance in Judea & Samaria. The measures, formulated under the leadership of the Settlement Administration within the Defense Ministry, are designed to dismantle longstanding legal barriers, repeal anti-Jewish Jordanian-era laws, and streamline procedures related to land registration and property transactions. Central to the overhaul is the opening of land registries to public access and the removal of special permit requirements for land purchases, steps intended to place real estate activity in Judea and Samaria on a footing closer to that of a sovereign Israel while also facilitating accelerated development of Jewish settlement. The decisions also expand Israeli enforcement authority in areas such as construction oversight, water regulation, environmental protection, and archaeology, and transfer responsibility for certain sensitive sites and planning decisions from PA or mixed frameworks to Israeli defense authorities. This is a long-overdue (nearly 70-years overdue) normalization of Israeli governance in the Jewish heartland and a deepening of Israel’s sovereignty and control over the land.

Peloni:  Iranian protester, Pouria Hamidi is reported to have committed suicide after making this video pleading against any deal with the Mullahs.  His death marks the slaughter of a literal wartime slaughter, and in fact, the Iranian people have entered into a wartime effort to through off the shackles of their oppression, an oppression which was only possible thru the support which Iran has received over the years in the form of trade, arms and inexplicably ready cash payments.  The world itself has been under siege by the Jihadi war implemented by the Mullahs, both in the Middle East, but also throughout the US and Europe, proving the claim false which is raised by Isolationists Iranian pundits who falsely challenge that bringing down the Mullahs is not a vital American interest.   Hence, acting in accordance with Hamidi’s plea for support would also support the protection and security needs of the US.  The question is whether Trump will act to support the interests of the Iranian people, the people of the Middle East, and the people of America while supporting the toppling of Mullahs, or if he will allow them the opportunity to survive into the future, further oppressing their people and those of the world.

Peloni: Highly recommended video. As I noted previously, focusing on our identity is the best way to respond to antisemitism.  Bret Stephens’ commentary goes far further in addressing this and other matters.

Paul Schnee: I think you will enjoy this presentation by Bret Stephens. It will take about 45 minutes to watch, but it’s well worth the time as it has some important, pertinent & powerful  insights.

Peloni:  Is Netanyahu moving his meeting with Trump forward simply to take a pulse of America’s negotiation?  I would argue it is likely related to the fact that those negotiations have little (read as none) chance of success and the meeting is instead regarding more sensitive matters related to the failure of the talks and what comes next rather than the scope of the undergoing negotiations.

A week ago in Queens, New York, anti-Zionist protesters gathered outside a synagogue where a Jewish school was in session. Their chant pierced the air: “Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here.” The words may have sounded rhythmic, but their message was deadly. Behind the rhyme was a call for violence, glorifying the massacre carried out by Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023.

Peloni:  The real story of Mamdani’s message lies in what he purposefully does not disclose about his embrace of migration.

Iran’s rulers, now that they are on their knees, apparently want to “talk.” However, any deal offered at this stage — no matter how well-intentioned — would serve only the interest of Iran’s regime — not that of America or the world.

• The plea from Iran’s regime is clearly a last-ditch effort to hold on to power so the mullahs can keep on torturing, slaughtering and putting out the eyes of their citizens.

??Special Ambassador Steve Witkoff no doubt talked to President Trump about the US-Iran meeting in Oman. We don’t have a special wiretap on his call to the President, but it is a sure bet Witkoff told the President things were going well and another meeting is planned.

The key variables here aren’t economic or strategic, they’re Islamic.

The problem is simple.

Iran wants nuclear weapons because of its religious belief in Jihad. It’s not going to give up that belief for money. And money is the only thing we have to offer it in the form of dropping sanctions. That puts us right back to the same place where Obama’s Iran Deal negotiations were.

Peloni:  As I noted previously, American resistance has been interpreted as weakness.  In fact, the Iranians are being emboldened by the manner in which the US has handled their approach toward negotiations, walking back its demand, ignoring its threats of being ‘locked and loaded’ to support the protestors, and its ‘delaying’ an assault which has yet to come in any form greater than striking a drone approaching its carrier in a threatening posture.

Yigal Carmon | MEMRI | Feb 6, 2026

Senior Iranian regime officials and their media mouthpieces are continuing to issue threats, with the aim of deterring President Trump from attacking Iran.[1] These threats are in the form of statements, AI-generated videos, cartoons, and billboards in public squares in Iranian cities with messages about killing hundreds or thousands of U.S. troops in the region, sinking U.S. aircraft carriers, launching missiles against the U.S. itself, blocking global shipping lanes, attacking U.S. diplomatic missions, and targeting President Trump’s personal assets.

Peloni: The purpose of antisemitism is to delegitimize us, to break the bond of identity which strengthens our people, and to instill a sense of fear and isolation, all of which must be countered with the strengthening of our identity and connection to our heritage, strengthening security, and promoting resistance to the normalization of antisemitic attacks.

In an age of historic surging antisemitism around the world, suggesting the solution to antisemitism is to maximize the sense of victimhood fails on every level and will only add to the damage intended by antisemites.  Meira is correct in challenging Robert Kraft with gaining a better idea of how to counter the threat poised and promoted against the Jewish people.
