MidEast Envoy Witkoff and Jared Kushner reveal that Israel's strikes on Hamas leadership in Doha served as a turning point in peace talks and that Netanyahu's apology 'had to happen,' as the two prepare to take the Trump plan into its second phase

From Moshe Sharett's sidelined diplomacy in the 1950s to Netanyahu's warning that only strength ensures survival, Israel has leaned on force as its default. But unchecked 'capability' has bred cycles of violence, alienation and a foreign policy few nations truly embrace

From the return of 20 hostages to Roei Shalev's tragic suicide note – 'I'm alive, but everything inside is dead' – Israel swung between elation and grief. Yet Prime Minister Netanyahu, focused on his trial and reelection, recasts the turmoil as triumph while Hamas regroups in Gaza
