Countering Strategic Threats and Institutional Sabotage

Ruth Wasserman Lande
Ruth Wasserman Lande

Ruth Wasserman Lande explains that the U.S. aims to restore its global hegemony by countering Chinese economic influence and securing strategic trade routes while maintaining pressure on the Iranian regime.

She also warns of the “sabotage” of Western institutions through infiltration by extremist foreign interests and advocates for legislation to protect democratic values from these influences.

U.S. Official to MBN: Repealing Lebanon’s Israel Boycott Law Would Enhance Trust

Prof. Kobi Michael
Prof. Kobi Michael

Prof. Kobi Michael: Hezbollah fighters no longer operate in direct proximity to Israeli troops, and areas under Israeli control no longer contain Shiite communities that previously provided operational access.

The fact that they are carefully monitored by the IDF they are not able to reach physically to the soldier. Any such operations, would more likely target Israelis or Jews abroad — though carrying them out today would be significantly more difficult.

Hezbollah’s return to its Iranian identity underscores a larger strategic reality: Lebanon’s Hezbollah problem cannot be separated from Iran itself.

Ultimately weakening Hezbollah means weakening Iran.

Ruth Wasserman Lande describes a global geostrategy where the United States is securing key maritime passageways to counter China’s influence while managing regional threats from the Iranian regime.

Pakistan’s Self-Interested Mediation

Prof. Kobi Michael
Prof. Kobi Michael

Prof. Kobi Michael expresses skepticism regarding Pakistan’s role as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran, arguing that Pakistan is driven by its own domestic interests and regional commitments rather than a desire for peace or stability.

He further cautions that the United States should rethink its relationship with Pakistan, noting that the U.S. has failed to learn from past instances where Pakistan’s actions contradicted American interests, such as during the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

Amid ceasefire, Israeli forces ramp up destruction of homes in southern Lebanon

Prof. Kobi Michael: There were clear strategic reasons for targeting Bint Jbeil.

But “humiliation” was also “part of the game, noting the town’s symbolic importance to Hezbollah. Practically, on the ground, there is no ceasefire.

Iran Strikes UAE as Hormuz Crisis Spotlights Emerging US-Israel-UAE Security Alignment

Prof. Kobi Michael
Prof. Kobi Michael

Prof. Kobi Michael: The UAE’s alignment with Israel and the United States appears increasingly deliberate, though the full operational scope of that cooperation has not been officially confirmed.

There is very close intelligence, security, and strategic cooperation between both countries. They are also very close to the United States, creating a sort of triangle between the US, Israel, and the UAE. They understood that they had to make a strategic choice, and they did not hesitate. They chose to align with the Americans and with Israel.

They do not try to conceal their relations with Israel. On the contrary, they believe these relations strengthen their security and regional position.

Will ending US military aid make Israel stronger or more vulnerable?

Dr. Raphael BenLevi
Dr. Raphael BenLevi

Negotiations are set to begin this month for a new memorandum of understanding between the United States and Israel that would phase out military aid grants. This outcome will ultimately strengthen Israel, and have a beneficial effect on Israel’s broader national security and its ability to defend itself.

Israel will increase its own defense spending. While it may come at the expense of other government ministries, it will not destabilize Israel’s budget. The amount of US military aid has been steady for decades and in earlier years accounted for a much higher proportion of Israel’s defense budget than it does today, as Israel’s GDP has grown significantly.

U.S. Dominance in the Strait of Hormuz

Prof. Kobi Michael
Prof. Kobi Michael

Prof. Kobו Michael argues that the conflicts in Iran and Lebanon are deeply interrelated, necessitating an expanded Israeli military campaign north of the Litani River to effectively disarm Hezbollah and secure northern border communities.

While acknowledging the United States’ overwhelming naval dominance in the Strait of Hormuz, Michael emphasizes that Israel remains skeptical of negotiations and may support a resumed military offensive if diplomacy fails to halt Iran’s nuclear program and proxy support.

Hardliners view security seizure of neighbouring territory as justification for permanent border expansion

Prof. Kobi Michael
Prof. Kobi Michael

Prof Kobi Michael: This is not political – it’s a security strategy. Israel needs security buffer zones in order, firstly, to distance the threat and, secondly, to clean the area to ensure it will not be used to launch terror attacks against Israeli communities. Unfortunately there are no political agreements, no diplomatic measures that can prevent such terror attacks.

Israel is aiming for a strong Middle East, but upheld by a different regional architecture in which Israel will be deeply embedded. 10 years from now, perhaps a lot sooner, Israel will have withdrawn from the buffer zones and Lebanon and Syria will be signatories to the Abraham Accords.
