Shalom, friends.

Adversaries keep buying time with process, civilians, and “oversight” while keeping weapons as the only real currency. Gaza’s contact reality keeps asserting itself against every committee fantasy, and Iran is selling inspection theater while treating missiles as holy. The external files are tightening at the same moment Israel’s internal accountability fight keeps trying to eat the state.
