Five timely takes in the Hebrew media on the war with Iran

June 16, 2025 | Ahron Shapiro

At a time when Israeli cities are coming under unprecedently large and prolonged ballistic missile and drone attacks from Iran with no end in sight, the need for timely and accurate analysis and commentary is greater than ever. Unfortunately, the vast majority of such material is available only in Hebrew.

The humanitarian aid funding cuts you never heard about

June 13, 2025 | Alana Schetzer

As AIJAC wrote last week, a UN claim that “Gaza is the hungriest place on earth” is simply false, according to aid agency data… Yemen, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo are the sites of some of the longest and most tragic wars that have ravaged the world in recent decades, impacted the biggest numbers of people and created the most severe humanitarian crises.

No, Gaza is not “the hungriest place on earth”

June 8, 2025 | AIJAC staff

United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) spokesperson Jens Laerke had a similar fit of hyperbole, claiming that “Gaza is the hungriest place on earth.” He clearly had not checked his declaration with the World Food Programme (WFP) or hunger-tracking NGOs such as Action Against Hunger or Concern Worldwide.

Houthi deal is a dangerous blow to US credibility and deterrence

May 14, 2025 | Oved Lobel

This general and by now predictable pattern of Trump’s threatening rhetoric followed quickly by unilateral US capitulation, whether on foreign or trade policy – always spun as a victory without accomplishing anything of substance – has made the world a far more dangerous place for US allies and partners.

Military strikes alone won’t stop the Houthis without direct pressure on Iran

March 20, 2025 | Oved Lobel

If the US Administration’s rhetoric is not simply bluster and does reflect the intent of the Administration to restore freedom of navigation through the Red Sea – including via direct strikes against Iranian assets, a much more devoted interdiction campaign and orchestrating a ground component – there are reasons to hope this operation in Yemen could succeed where previous ones have failed.

Israel didn’t target the IVF clinic

March 14, 2025 | Bren Carlill

Media reporting on a recent UN commission report has focused on the destruction of frozen embryos at an IVF clinic in Gaza. The UN and media imply that Israel intended to destroy the embryos. However, evidence does not support this.
