Benjamin Netanyahu, the incumbent Prime Minister of Israel, told NRG news that there is no place for a Palestinian state in the world under current conditions, given its present leadership—making his position on the “peace process” crystal-clear just hours before Israelis are set to vote for the leadership of their next government.

Israeli voters head to the polls on Tuesday to decide which political parties will fill the 120 seats of the 20th Knesset, and–indirectly–who will form the next government. The Zionist Union–a bloc of left and centrist parties–has seen its modest lead grow in recent days. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a “gevalt” campaign (a Yiddish expression of alarm), warning supporters he will lose unless they turn out to vote for his Likud Party over the alternatives.
Taking an instant dislike to Tony Blair is a good rule of life. It saves time. A generation of British voters would agree and now it seems plenty of international diplomats and UN representatives think it’s a good idea too.

Israel, after all, faces existential threats that no other nation faces, real threats to its very legitimacy and existence. Government decisions can determine matters of life and death. People are therefore passionately concerned about politics — it literally affects their survival.

The Times of Israel is leading Sunday evening with a profile of Amos Yadlin, the Israeli left’s choice for defense minister if the Zionist Union wins Tuesday’s election and is able to form a coalition government. Though Yadlin was a pilot during the mission to destroy Iraq’s nuclear reactor in 1981, and allegedly helped destroy Syria’s reactor in 2007, he suffers under some of the left’s more destructive policy delusions.

I have been warning for months that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might lose the March 17 election. In November 2014, before elections were called, I noted that Netanyahu had been elected on a promise to oppose Barack Obama, and now that Obama’s lame-duck term had begun, Israeli voters might feel secure enough to look elsewhere for leadership. What they–and indeed many Americans–failed to see was how much damage Obama still intended to cause.

Somali-born free speech and women’s rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali gave the keynote address at a sold-out event in Boston Wednesday that centered on rising anti-Semitism on college campuses in North America.

Israelis head to the polls on Tuesday, Mar. 17 to elect a new parliament, a new Knesset. There are a total of 120 seats up for grabs, which will be divided proportionally among all parties that manage to pass the minimum threshold of 3.25%. The resulting government will be formed after the ceremonial President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, chooses a candidate for prime minister to assemble a coalition (61 seats or more). Here are five other important facts to know about Israel’s election.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi sat down with the Washington Post for a wide-ranging interview, covering a plethora of issues in which his country remains deeply involved, including the struggle against the Muslim Brotherhood and global jihadi terrorism and Egypt’s promising relationship with the state of Israel.

Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization, announced that it would hold a Q&A session on Twitter using the hashtag #AskHamas today. It quickly turned into a disaster for Hamas when its feed was flooded “with negative comments”– and the session does not even start until 1PM ET.

Rasmieh Odeh, a Palestinian terrorist who had previously been convicted of assisting in a Jerusalem supermarket bombing, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for omitting her involvement in the jihadist act on her U.S. immigration papers, according to reports.

The father of an Arab-Israeli teenager executed by the Islamic State (ISIS) for allegedly spying for Israel has pledged to fight on behalf of the Jewish state against the jihadi terror group.

The Los Angeles Times, ignoring facts that would conflict with its anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian messaging, identified Muhammad Musallam, the 19-year-old boy shot and killed by a child from the group Islamic State, as a “Palestinian,” instead of what he actually was–an Israeli Arab who lived in East Jerusalem.

The undergraduate student government at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) voted unanimously on Tuesday to pass a resolution condemning all forms of antisemitism and hatred or hostility geared towards Jewish students on campus.

The European Union has responded with outrage after learning that Israel destroyed illegally built, EU-funded Arab settlements within Israel’s sovereign territory.

The last pre-election polls in Israel show that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains the overwhelming favorite to lead the country, but show his party slipping to second place, losing ground to its center-left, Obama-backed rival. Bibi’s Likud Party will gain seats, but the rival Zionist Union–an alliance between Isaac Herzog’s Labor Party and Tzipi Livni’s Hatnua Party–could also gain enough to win the Mar. 17 election. Netanyahu says there is a “real danger” he could lose.

Former Liberal Democrat MP Baroness (Jenny) Tonge has told a meeting in Parliament that Hamas “should have been allowed to try” to run the Palestinian state after they won the election in 2006. Tonge, who described herself as “notorious” at

Last month, the Islamic State’s magazine Dabiq included an “interview” with a prisoner named Muhammad Said Ismail Musallam, who was supposedly a spy recruited by Israeli intelligence. Now it has been followed by a videotaped execution perpetrated by a pistol-packing child.

Appearing before Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid bare terrifying truths about the statements, actions and intentions of the “Islamic Republic” of Iran. Mr. Netanyahu paid great homage to President Obama, Democrats and the U.S. Congress, which he called “the most important legislative body in the world.” Unlike some, Mr. Netanyahu is a true believer in American Exceptionalism.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, which is the military wing of Palestinian terror group Hamas, has pledged that it will continue to attempt abductions of IDF soldiers in hopes of freeing Palestinian terrorists from Israeli prisons.

J Street, a left-wing organization that was founded by liberal Jews to counter traditional pro-Israel advocacy in Congress, has crossed the line into hate group status with its invitation to Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat to address its conference later this month.
