Israel Continues to Thwart Terror Attacks from PA-Controlled West Bank

February 29, 2012

JINSA Visiting Fellow Evelyn Gordon on how future land-for-peace deals could be jeopardized by Egypt's threats to alter or abrogate its treaty with Israel.

The Cost of Missing a Military Opportunity

January 04, 2012

JINSA Visiting Fellow Evelyn Gordon on the military opportunities Israel has wasted in recent years and how costly those missed opportunities could become. If non military options fail in Iran, it is vital that Israel does not waste another opportunity.

Good Arguments All, But Not Good Enough
