BRIEFING: THE TWO-STATE DELUSION
#23
09/16/2026

In this briefing I respond to the unrelenting promotion of what I call the "two-state delusion" by the British government and several of its international allies.

06/17/2026

In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin explains why Israel is entering the period of the newly announced US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding from a major position of strength, and why Jerusalem will not be bound by any agreement that ignores its core security needs.

Despite the hazy details emerging ahead of Friday's formal signing in Switzerland, one thing is clear: Israel's new security doctrine of proactively dismantling threats and holding territory for as long as needed is here to stay.

Lappin breaks down what this MOU could mean for the region and underscores why...


BRIEFING: ISRAEL’S NEW REGIONAL EQUATION
#12
06/09/2026

In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin, analyzes the highly dramatic events of the past 24 hours in the Middle East. 

Recently, the Iranian-led Shiite jihadist axis has attempted to bully Israel into accepting new operational "equations" - formulas designed to dictate the boundaries of military action.

This extortion attempt stems from the fact that Hezbollah, Iran's flagship proxy in Lebanon, has been severely degraded. Israel fired back against this Iranian extortion attempt.

As such, Israel successfully reestablished its strategic independence.

SITUATIONAL BRIEFING: ISRAEL’S MILITARY TRIUMPH VS. NARRATIVE DEFEAT
#9
05/14/2026

In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin, In-House Analyst at The MirYam Institute, explains the paradox of Israel’s growing strategic strength amidst a deteriorating global information war.

Over the past 30 months, Israel has achieved historic strategic victories, working with the U.S. to systematically decimate the Iranian axis—including its nuclear programs, Hamas, and Hezbollah. 

By operationalizing new defense alliances, Israel now serves as a regional "insurance policy" for Gulf states against Iranian fundamentalism. 

However, Israel is simultaneously losing the global information battle because jihadist adversaries deliberately embed their rocket launchers and invasion bases...

In his exclusive op-ed, Spencer explains why Israel has reached a stronger strategic standing:

He then provides his reflections on Yom Hashoa, commemorated throughout Israel by the sounding of a national siren, distinct from the sirens to seek shelter, but rather a call to stand silent, stand still, and reflect on our ability to defend ourselves.
