I wish I spent a bit more time Bsky. Some of my favorite people are here. But there is a clear renewables/fossil fuels divide between Bsky and X and it is challenging enough to pay attention to one, let alone two distinct platforms.

We come to drive away the darkness.
In our hands are light and fire.
Each individual light is small,
But together – the light is strong.

Praying for the Jewish community of Australia and wishing a speedy recovery to the victims. 🕎

ok - im looking forward to this episode, but Eastern Mediterranean solves these geographic challenges!

My latest Substack post reflects on the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the emotional range currently being experienced by many Israelis, and what I believe should come next for Israeli society🎗️

I can't stop crying. This is a miracle on live television.

yes the US component is v important here. again, i'd differentiate between impact vs presence

100% i think syria partially sits in both categories but absolutely agree with you

imho, it is four factors: having a receptive audience in DC, the Syria conundrum, and the strikes on Iran & Qatar. Each of these in their own way incentivized greater TR engagement, and created space for a greater TR role in the process.

Incredible news to wake up to. Here is hoping the deal is executed swiftly and without issue. Everyone deserves a fresh start.

We have reached the "cautious optimism" phase of the negotiations.

The Long Global Shadow of October 7 Hamas’ attack on Israel two years ago and the events unfolding in its wake have reverberated beyond the Middle East. The war in Gaza; the spillover into Houthi attacks in the Red Sea; escalation of te...

Business is booming in the Middle East for Trump. Deal after deal after deal.

Netanyahu also agreed to pay compensation to the Qatari security officer.

Which is peanuts when you consider all the Qatari money Netanyahu happily delivered to Hamas over the years.

Netanyahu has always had a soft spot for Qatar.

Netanyahu apologized to Qatar before apologizing to the Israeli public.

So Netanyahu has apologized to Turkey and Qatar in his political career. Jordan too, if memory serves correctly.

🇬🇷🇮🇱 Overlooked by many, Greece's Mitsotakis delivered a clear statement at UNGA this week:
"I tell my Israeli friends they risk alienating all their remaining allies if they persist on a path that is shattering the potential of a two-state solution."

Netanyahu's UNGA speech in happening in front an near empty plenary. The only applause? From the remaining flunkies and donors flown into NYC.

This is Netanyahu's legacy.
