Are Israel’s existential threats slowly disappearing?
The former head of the Mossad says Israel no longer faces existential threats, while one of Netanyahu’s top advisors calls the Sunni Arab states of the Middle East ‘Israel’s allies.’ If there’s one thing most Israelis can agree on, it is that the world is against us. At the very least, so it goes, Israel…

Iran’s collective memory won’t allow the kind of agreement Netanyahu wants
