My long overdue reunion with @NeriZilber and @ShiraEfron where we talk Israeli election, UK sanctions, take the long (and positive!) view of the past three years https://t.co/XreRsANNeZ 515 views · 5 likes · 2 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
Or they are Kahanist imports, such as Almog Cohen who was a member of Ben Gvir's party until a couple of months ago and is now 4th on the Likud list according to exit polls. People like to bemoan the end of the Begin-Meridor-Levy Likud, but this is well beyond that 4/ 2K views · 16 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
The top two tiers of Likud are almost entirely extreme nationalist radicals, social media trolls, supporters of an authoritarian executive without any checks, or people who will literally support anything Bibi or his family request. This is the party that Bibi has made /END 3.9K views · 43 likes · 11 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
Or they are the ones who are the most sycophantic to Bibi, i.e. Amir Ohana (1), Miri Regev (6), Boaz Bismuth (7), Ofir Katz (10), Miki Zohar (14) 3/ 1.8K views · 12 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
The Likud primary exit polls are just that, exit polls, so take with a grain of salt, but if they are accurate, they reflect what all close Israel watchers know, which is that the narrative of everything being a Smotrich-Ben Gvir problem is nonsense 1/ https://t.co/SeDvMPddDv

The people who did best with Likud voters fall into a few categories. They are either the ones most radical on tearing down state institutions and erasing any checks and balances, i.e. Yariv Levin (2), Moshe Saada (5), Tali Gotliv (8), Amichai Chikli (9), Shlomo Karhi (13) 2/ 2.2K views · 17 likes · 4 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
The coming Israeli election is going to be nearly as impactful on this side of the ocean as on the Israeli one. I talked with @ReichmanShanie about how and why on #IsraelPolicyPod https://t.co/0x7o3yYUxH 1.2K views · 10 likes · 2 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →
@mkoplow It will stop the moment Israelis pick up rifles to make it stop. Almost 80 years and Israel hasn't even coughed up an Oskar Schindler, much less a John Brown. 384 views · 11 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
@mkoplow @ilangoldenberg “well past time” - as if it might have been ok to allow this to go on for a while (a couple of days) but now, after 4-5 days, it’s getting a bit ridiculous? Also, asking the IDF to just stop this ONE episode of lawlessness by settlers, when this kind 519 views · 21 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
@mkoplow @dhalperin @eranh75_eran has been to the West Bank himself and tells us not to believe the IDF claims they are trying to stop the settler attacks because they are pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes https://t.co/v8I1lvaOcr

It is well past time for the IDF to put a definitive stop to the siege of Palestinians in Qusra. When an army claims to be the most moral in the world, and also to be so proficient and skilled as to make Israel an unparalleled strategic US partner, but for five days and counting 26.5K views · 168 likes · 44 reposts · 23 replies Open on X →
Agree with all of this, and I'll add/reinforce a few points in a 🧵: Israeli strategy with Trump has been say yes, count on the other side saying no, and assign the blame when nothing moves forward onto the Palestinian side. This was the case with the 2020 peace plan and BofP 1/ 7.2K views · 28 likes · 15 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
Quick reactions to the roadmap: 1. A genuine achievement for @nmladenov and the @BoardOfPeace. 2. Still unclear whether—and to what extent—Israel is actually on board and will implement its steps. 3. The operational core—synchronizing decommissioning with IDF withdrawals—remains 8.2K views · 9 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
