Ilan, excellent analysis. I am somewhat hopeful that Trump can push Bibi towards an actual policy of Arab governance in Gaza that is not Hamas. Trump really wants the Saudi deal and to win the Nobel Peace prize, so he will push. Maybe new elections in Israel will happen sooner rather than later to help us all get there.
Ilan, I've restacked and restacked with a note this important piece, one of the few pieces to even discuss the phases of the UN SC resolution. My note is here (via the magic of clicking on the body of the note to capture the URL): https://substack.com/@michaelalandover/note/c-88111518. I do quibble with a few details. I've also now tried to contact you and re-connect via other means, since we met during your visit to Cleveland J Street and the City Club in 2019. Yours is an important voice, and now that Substack has helped me find mine, I'm hoping to at least be a gadfly. And so I've added a commentary to my ongoing post Peace with Justice in the Middle East on the Beats section of my substack in my 1/24/25 update: https://michaelalandover.substack.com/p/peace-with-justice-in-the-middle
I am so glad to see you have a Substack and it was referenced in today’s J Street news roundup. We met when you visited the City Club in Cleveland. You might be interested in my ongoing commentary and large database of material on the Middle East since October 7, 2023 is in my beats section which can only be seen on the web.
