There is no time to wait and asses the situation, we must act quickly to secure the hostages' release and win against Iran.

Israel must now decide what kind of nation it wishes to be in this hour of trial. One that rescues its own or one that leaves them to fend for themselves.    

The clock is ticking. Iran advances in uranium enrichment and nuclear infrastructure every day. Its proxies may be weakened, but its ambitions are strengthened.

Mr. President, this extreme theocracy needs to fall. Make its destruction as explicit a policy as the defeat of Nazi Germany or Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

Holding onto our faith in our abilities, our resilience, and our purpose is essential to survive war with the Islamic Republic.

Now is precisely the moment for our leaders to step into that space and embody that sense of unity with a broad, all-encompassing national unity government.

Zionism has never begged for survival and it will not start now. The question is whether the long-suffering citizens of Iran are ready to seize a parallel opportunity for their own freedom.

When Jews are targeted, it often signals rising intolerance, polarization, and democratic erosion.

As US Secretary of State Marco Rubio put it, the sanctions “do nothing to promote a ceasefire in Gaza, bring the hostages home, or end the war.”

Rising crime, internal security failures, and a government distracted by photo ops paint a troubling picture of Israel's future.
