For years, Jerusalem has grappled with a persistent and complex issue: illegal construction in the city's eastern neighborhoods. Each year, more than 1,000 unauthorized housing units are erected, creating ripple effects that touch economic, safety, and demographic spheres.

GOLAN – As Israel's seven-front war approaches 470 days and with more than 800 IDF soldiers and security forces killed, the tiny Jewish state has been stretched thin. Hamas has been all but eliminated in Gaza, and likewise, Hezbollah in Lebanon. The murderous Assad regime in Syria fell with minimal action by the IDF, but solutions for what comes after are still a quandary and the path to any kind of lasting peace is still unclear.

And it came to pass, when Adonizedek, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had taken Ai, and had completely destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho

Amid reports of the ongoing US-brokered negotiations between Israel and Hamas, there are reports of a plan to relocate Gazans to facilitate humanitarian efforts. While these rumors have yet to be confirmed, some possible host nations are being suggested.

As Israel welcomes home three women hostages who were held in nightmare conditions by Hamas for 471 days, the conditions of the ceasefire deal are beginning to sink in. Many Israelis and their allies are raising serious concerns about whether this “deal with the devil” has any possibility of ending well.

Support for Israel used to be a bipartisan issue, but under Presidents Obama and Biden, foreign policy revived the Islamist regime of Iran and its regional proxies. Fortunately, as Democratic support for America’s greatest ally waxes, more Republicans are coming out in support of the Jewish state.

“The data illustrates the great and significant work that is taking place in Judea and Samaria. Every year we see how settlement continues to grow and strengthen, and is a living example of the Zionist vision that is being realized."

'The idea of exchanging hostages for thousands of terrorists is strictly against Jewish law'

One order, Executive Order 14115 issued on Feb. 1, 2024, by the former Biden administration, put sanctions on Jewish groups living in Judea and Samaria, describing them as “Persons Undermining Peace, Security, and Stability in the West Bank.” The policy of sanctioning Jews in Judea and Samaria was premised on the claim of violence carried out by “settlers.” This claim

While it is true that Israel has never had a friend in the White House like Donald J. Trump, his negotiator, Steve Witkoff, maneuvered Israel into a painful and dangerous ceasefire agreement that will release over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, including several serving multiple life sentences for deadly terrorist attacks and murders, while leaving some 60 Israelis in the hands of Hamas. Even worse, Israel may be forced to end the war with Hamas still in power on the southern border.
