By
Tani Burton
After 584 days in hell, the freed captive is invited to go and thank the very regime that funded, sheltered, and protected his captors
Paul Gross
It’s Trump’s Middle East now
Israel’s leaders have failed to understand who they’re dealing with: The US president sees Netanyahu as an obstacle to progress
Anat Thon-Ashkenazy
