Jerusalem Post's talented team of journalists provides insight into their work presented in the opinion section. This section highlights the beliefs and values that experienced writers who are witnessing the Middle East turmoil unfold. Their first hand encounters with world leaders have shaped their opinions and world views to be shared on this page.
The Houthis hijack ships, keep hostages for over a year, and threaten global trade – if that doesn’t meet the definition of terrorism, what does?
We must remain steadfast in our demand for the safe return of every last hostage. We owe it to their families. We owe it to our values. And we owe it to our humanity.
CENTER FIELD: Trump’s Gaza proposal sparked global outrage, but is it truly unthinkable, or just an overdue challenge to the status quo?
Releasing the hostages, eradicating Hamas, rehabilitating and developing Gaza while winning support of Gazans - is it possible?
Scheduled to be released during the first stage of the hostage deal between Hamas and Israel, it emerged on Tuesday that Shlomo Mantzur was killed on October 7.
If Netanyahu wants to renew the fighting in Gaza, then Hamas reads the mood in the Israeli leadership and political echelon very well.
One of the things that makes Israel great is its human quality. We must pull on those strings and find our way back to those roots because it seems we have forgotten what this project is all about.
Hamas’s propaganda is fooling the West, whitewashing its brutality while Israeli hostages endure starvation and torture. The world must stop enabling their lies.
Israel and US must exert maximum effort to prevent Iran from rebuilding Hamas, or risk erasing IDF's achievements in the war and enabling the Hamas terrorists to carry out another massacre.
ABOVE THE FOLD: When the media draws parallels between Hamas’s demands to release prisoners who are convicted mass-murderers and the release of hostages, it is infuriating.
