A hero's welcome for Jonathan Pollard would harm Israel's relations with Joe Biden. The assassination of Mohsen Fakrizadeh makes it hard for Biden to revive the Iran agreement.

Politics in the US should become more balanced, and there are encouraging aspects for Israel as well.

Israel needs to confront Turkish neo-imperialism, but is economically and politically hamstrung.

With its grip on Lebanon suddenly in doubt, Hezbollah will have to think more than twice before launching an assault on Israel.

With Iran's regime on the ropes, China sees an opportunity, which for Israel translates into a threat.

The events of the last couple of months in the US are no laughing matter, and Israel should be paying attention.

Applying "annexation" to what is legitimately its own territory is just another example of poor Israeli public diplomacy.
