Israel Brief: Tuesday, February 10
Israel digs trenches, Tehran offers “dilution,” and Washington gets asked to pick a deadline instead of a slogan.
Shalom, friends.
Gaza gives us both tunnels and “State of Palestine” stamps simultaneously. The north gives us Hezbollah rebuilding while hiding behind civilian cover. Iran offers a bargain designed to keep missiles off the menu. Underneath it all, Israel is trying to ration reservists and keep state authority intact while hostile actors shop for cheap access and cheaper optics.
