Bibi

For the first time, the country’s Arab minority could wield some leverage in the political process.

Netanyahu has antagonized Israel’s most loyal Arab allies and opened a new front in the country’s culture wars.

Russia is more important than the United States in averting war between Israel and Syria.

But eight months in, the U.S. president is still playing nice with Israel — thanks to a moribund peace process.

Trump suggests the United States might not support a two-state solution, which it has explicitly done for the past 15 years.

Right-wingers in Jerusalem are ecstatic; Palestinian leaders are apoplectic. Welcome to a new era of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Despite their momentary ascendancy, Bibi, Trump, and Putin are yesterday’s men.
