“Battles against the terrorist regime in Iran and its proxies will continue, as will the fight against disinformation and blind hate that unfairly targets Israel. But that does not absolve Israel from making some crucial decisions about its own conduct. The fate of the US-Israel alliance could hang in the balance.”
Israel's Moment of Truth
Decisions in the coming days will prove pivotal in determining whether the erosion in support for Israel in the United States is reversed or devolves further into a full rupture that makes both Americans and Israelis less secure.

Iraq’s crisis is more than a domestic financial emergency. It is an early warning of a much broader economic reckoning across the Middle East, where population growth, expanding government obligations, and dependence on energy exports are colliding with the enormous costs of perpetual warfare, writes @hahussain:

Everyone in Israel assumes a major U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran is coming after the midterms.
@CFR_org's @stevenacook is skeptical that two or three days of strikes will move a regime that hasn’t budged on the battlefield or at the negotiating table.

Great to join Fox News @livenowfox Carel Lajara this morning to discuss Serbia’s elections and how students are fighting for their freedom and democracy.
FDD retweeted
Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's former president and dominant political figure for more than a decade, has conceded defeat to the student-led protest movement in the country's pivotal parliamentary elections.
Once an ultranationalist, Vucic has dominated Serbian politics for more than 14 years, during which he has consolidated his grip on power by reinventing himself as a reformer committed to Serbia's drive toward EU membership, while maintaining close ties with Russia and China.
