They survived in hell for 330 days, only to be murdered as help was approaching. Heartbreaking. #BringThemAllHome

I've worked tirelessly to bring Hersh home, and Jill and I could not be more heartbroken by the news of his death. It is tragic and reprehensible. Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. And we'll continue working towards a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages.

On October 7, Hersh Goldberg-Polin — an American citizen — was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. He was just 23 years old, attending a music festival with friends. We now know he was murdered by Hamas. Doug and my prayers are with Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, Hersh's

Deeply disheartened to learn of the sanctions placed by the U.K. Government on export licenses to Israel’s defense establishment. This comes at a time when we fight a war on 7 different fronts - a war that was launched by a savage terrorist organization, unprovoked. At a time

27-year-old British citizen Emily Damari was taken from her home in Kfar Aza on Oct. 7 and has not been seen or heard from in nearly 11 months.

The decision by Britain to halt arms licenses to Israel is a boost to a brutal organization that murders babies, kidnaps the elderly, and rapes women. Those who do so should not be surprised when terrorism reaches them as well. Britain must decide whether it supports Israel, a

On the very day Israel buries hostages murdered by Hamas, our government announces that Israel must be shackled from defending itself against murderous terror. This is on Starmer. As I've written before, it was clear within days that Labour sides with Israel's enemies - on

Hamas is now essentially admitting that it executed the 6 Israeli hostages to prevent them from being rescued. But it is also lying when it says this is a new policy. After Israeli forces recovered four hostages in June, Hamas opened fire on the retreating rescue convoy,

99% of ancient texts are lost, & the few we have shape our understanding of history. Each new discovery, like the scrolls at Villa of the Papyri, could dramatically alter that understanding. Great dispatch on efforts to read the scrolls Works in Progress: worksinprogress.co/issue/doom-scr…

Love these!

Rachel and Jon Goldberg-Polin insisted that the world know their son as a person. Not only where he was, but who he was. Why his fate, and the fate of hundreds of hostages, mattered. And why the fate of thousands upon thousands of innocent Palestinians mattered.

A reminder that when activists imply equivalence in a hostage/prisoner exchange, this is what we’re talking about: “Hamas… demanded to increase the number of prisoners to be released. Many of the prisoners are serving life sentences in Israeli prisons for murdering Israelis.”

We’re taking Statecraft across the pond to answer two questions: What can we learn from our British friends? And what’s wrong with them? First installment with James W. Phillips on fighting bureaucratic consensus and building a new research agency. statecraft.pub/p/how-to-build…

Two Nations Two Republics. An Israeli Republic and a Palestine Republic. The only way forward We all know its difficult. I prefer this phrase 2N2R to Two States Solution 2SS because the idea that there could be a complete solving of the conflict is I think unrealistic and

If you're a reasonable and decent Republican or independent who's not crazy about the Democrats, and you've been tempted to stick with the GOP nominee, you have to be rethinking that. And you have to be asking yourself, can you really vote for this guy for the next four years?

Kamala executed perfectly tonight. Extremely balanced, thoughtful, and stayed on message. She presented centrist views, that were pro business, pro energy production, pro innovation, pro Israel, and pro the American people. She won that debate.

Tonight, we saw firsthand who has the vision and strength to move this country forward instead of dividing us. Kamala Harris will be a president for all Americans.  Let's get to work: secure.actblue.com/donate/social-…
