RT by @WashInstitute: Opening salvo in Israel’s likely September election: a potential unity party uniting Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid—blurring traditional ideological lines. A wider tent could bring in Gadi Eisenkot.
The test: can an anti-Netanyahu bloc built around this move from ~58 in polls to the 61-seat majority in the 120-member Knesset?
The bet: a disciplined, mainstream agenda—probing October 7 failures, advancing ultra-Orthodox conscription, instituting PM term limits, and emphasizing technocratic governance—can peel off a slice of soft-right Netanyahu voters.
Underlying premise: post–October 7, a two-state solution is not the immediate dividing line; voters are focused first on security, accountability, and state capacity.

RT by @WashInstitute: This is a speculative assessment. Those capabilities existed during the 39-day war, and in fact existed during the 12-day war of June 2025 too, and proved only marginally successful. There is no reason to believe they will be any more or less successful in the next phase. Russians play no role here and only if Chinese MANPADS manage to run the US naval blockade and reach Iran might prove to pose a threat againat helicopters, drones and low flying crewed aircraft.
این یک ارزیابی فرضی است. این 'توانمندیها' در طول جنگ ۳۹روزه وجود داشتند و در واقع در جریان جنگ ۱۲روزه ژوئن ۲۰۲۵ نیز موجود بودند، اما تنها موفقیتی حاشیهای به دست آوردند. دلیلی وجود ندارد که تصور کنیم در مرحله بعدی، میزان موفقیت آنها بیشتر یا کمتر خواهد بود. روسها در این زمینه نقشی ندارند و تنها در صورتی که دوشپرتابهای چینی بتوانند از محاصره دریایی ایالات متحده عبور کرده و به ایران برسند، ممکن است تهدیدی برای هلیکوپترها، سهابها (سامانههای هوایی بیسرنشین) و هواپیماهای سرنشیندار پایینپرواز ایجاد کنند.

RT by @WashInstitute: A piece of good news ... direct engagement by @POTUS in #Lebanon-#Israel negotiations is a net plus -- it's a necessary (though not sufficient) ingredient to their success. Fascinating to recall that until a week ago, #Trump had not shown any interest in this track, having not exchanged a single word (via letter or phone) with @LBpresidency. Today, however, he will invest the prestige of the @WhiteHouse in this effort, which will hopefully bolster Lebanese leaders hesitant to match their bold words with equally bold action.
