John Bolton’s departure won’t disturb the Trump-Netanyahu connection

Analysis: John Bolton’s sudden departure is a loss for Israel because he truly is a great friend of the Jewish State, but Trump’s administration was pro-Israel when the Ambassador arrived and PM Netanyahu’s timely annexation announcement signaled the pro-Israel posture of this President will remain intact even with Bolton’s absence.

By Caroline B. Glick

 

John Bolton’s departure from the White House has been the source of considerable concern in Israel. For decades, the veteran diplomat and former UN ambassador has been among the most powerful supporters of a strong US-Israel alliance in Washington.

During his tenure as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Bolton worked steadily on expanding US-Israel strategic ties across a wide spectrum of critical issues from Iran, to the Palestinians and beyond. Continue Reading »

The Government of Canada announced intention to appeal a court ruling that wine produced by Jews in Judea and Samaria cannot be labeled as ‘Made in Israel’.

By Elad Benari, Canada

 

Jewish groups in Canada on Friday welcomed an announcement by the Government of Canada that it will appeal a court ruling that wine originating from Judea and Samaria cannot be labeled as products made in Israel.

In July, Canada’s Federal Court ruled that it was “false, misleading and deceptive” to label wines made in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria as a “Product of Israel.”

SodaStream’s new product label

The court had been asked to rule in the case of David Kattenburg, the child of Holocaust survivors who disagreed with a decision by the Canadian government’s Food Inspection Agency to allow the labels. Continue Reading »

Obama’s betrayal of Israel during 2014 Gaza conflict takes ironic turn

While Iran was arming Hamas, the Obama Administration surprised its “greatest ally in the Middle East” by freezing delivery of US-made Hellfire missiles for IAF Apache helicopters during the 2014 conflict, so Israel remedied the betrayal by locally producing a more advanced missile, Rafael’s Spike, that the US Army is now testing for possible acquisition.

By David Israel

 

The US Army has been testing Rafael’s Spike Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) anti-tank guided missile as a solution against the Russian surface-to-air missile systems, Defense News reported last week.

In the middle of the 2014 Gaza War, the Obama administration stopped deliveries of Hellfire missiles to the Israeli Air Force’s Apache helicopters, in an attempt to pressure the Israelis to stop their operation in Gaza. Continue Reading »

The IINZ report cites examples of UNRWA staff promoting terror & being affiliated with terror groups; gross incitement in school textbooks; ongoing allegations of corruption and inefficiency; and UNRWA perpetuating a “right of return” that Switzerland’s foreign minister, Ignazio Cassis, has deemed an “unrealistic dream” and a key reason UNRWA is “part of the problem.”

Bibi- Condemned for bad ties with Obama, for great ties with Trump

ANALYSIS: A good, healthy, professional relationship with the President of the United States was deemed imperative for a good, strong Israel-US partnership… but that’s not true.

BY HERB KEINON

 

Putting it mildly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then US president Barack Obama had a difficult relationship.

Obama was on the Left, Netanyahu on the Right. They saw the world through very different lenses and disagreed fundamentally both about Iran and the Palestinians. As a result, there were constant fights, name-calling, leaks, and an altogether dysfunctional relationship, as one pundit after the next explained it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of Congress in Washington, D.C.

By Associated Press, Israel Hayom Staff
