Not only did Hamas do everything it felt it could to avoid being dragged into this mini-war, it also exerted considerable pressure on PIJ to agree to the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire.

Even more so than rockets, disinformation campaigns have become Hamas' greatest weapons.

In Israel, the world's only Jewish state, the rule of law treats all as equals.

Clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians broke out as thousands gathered for prayers during the holy month of Ramadan.

At least two people were killed and several others were wounded in a shooting in an area with restaurants and bars in the central part of Tel Aviv.

In Israel, three terror attacks—one by a Palestinian Arab, two by Israeli Arabs—have taken the lives of 11 people in the last two weeks.

CAIR has unmasked itself as the virulent hate group that it has always been.

The Palestinians are at war with Israel, yes. But Hamas and Fatah are also at war with one another.

Soon, the Biden administration is going to have to decide where it stands on Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Turkey.

Israel and Iran remain rivals after decades of diplomatic and military conflicts, with Iran's nuclear program becoming a particularly large concern to Israel.

Support for Hamas is becoming a cost-free vote for many Democrats.

"The policy Israel has pursued up until now hasn't substantially changed the situation," Israel Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said.

Rosh Hashanah is also as opportune a time as any to contemplate how we, as the American people, have recently strayed from our own covenant.

"They are presenting riots as peaceful," said Israeli military spokesman of the Palestinian protests. "In reality, these riots are extremely violent."

Israel's ambassador to the United States claimed Hamas used the al-Jalaa building to disrupt the Iron Dome, though AP has not seen evidence of these claims.

The people of the region are craving change, not least among them the Palestinian people, who are desperate for fresh leaders, leaders who can move beyond a rigid regime with an agenda that abuses the very people it rules.

The May 10 parade, which was meant to celebrate Israel's capture of East Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war, had begun when Hamas fired rockets from Gaza toward the holy city.
