Israel Brief: Friday, January 2
Iranian streets are aflame as "day after" committees keep dodging the guns.
Shabbat shalom, friends.
Beirut recites “state authority” while Hezbollah keeps the rockets. Gaza gets marketed as governance while Hamas recruits teenagers with cash. Tehran’s regime answers economic collapse with bullets. Abroad, mayors and ministers keep discovering the modern West’s favorite hobby—claim to protect Jews with rhetoric, and endanger them Jews with policy.
Here’s the situation in ninety seconds.
