I served in Afghanistan: Wes Streeting’s claim that the IDF fell short of British Army standards is slander

Israeli soldiers had to fight house by house through a defensive system running through walls, floors and deep underground while protecting civilians at home from rocket fire. We faced nothing comparable and I see no evidence that we would have performed better

The Gaza cease-fire is built on painful Israeli concessions – not total victory

The deal with Hamas is imperfect – hostages exchanged for killers, the jihadis diminished but not gone. The task now is not to romanticise the bargain, but to use this brittle pause to build a sturdier quiet

RE'IM, ISRAEL - DECEMBER 17: Atara, from London, hugs a friend and reacts while visiting a memorial for the first time since the Oct 7th attack on December 17, 2023 in Re'im, Israel. The memorial displayed photos of people killed or kidnapped during the Hamas attack on the Super Nova festival on October 7th. Many roads around the Gaza Envelope have reopened, which has allowed for more visitors, survivors, and residents to come back to the area and witness the results of Oct. 7. During the November ceasefire, hundreds of locals and tourists volunteered on fields around the kibbutzes that were most affected by the Hamas attack, however, since the ceasefire ended most volunteers, including Atara, have found themselves volunteering around the country, but not in the south. It has been more than two months since the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas that prompted Israel's retaliatory air and ground campaign in the Gaza Strip. (Photo by Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images)
