My latest op-ed in @Haaretz "How Israel Lost Control, and Became an International Pariah, Over Aid to Gaza".

Contributor: Tehran has only bad options. Trump and Netanyahu have golden opportunities
An Israel whose enemies have been dramatically weakened is in a better position to make progress on the Palestinian issue, beginning with an end to the war in Gaza.
