Israel Brief: Tuesday, December 23
Israel tightens enforcement while Iran rehearses saturation and the West debates “process” like it stops missiles.
Shalom, friends.
Israel keeps deleting rebuild lanes in Gaza and Lebanon, while Tehran runs drills designed to exhaust interception and decision time. Abroad, the “antisemitism as speech” era is collapsing into concrete barriers and police lines (for now), and at home the state is trying to build accountability while fighting over who gets to write the verdict.
Here’s the situation in ninety seconds.
