The Price of War: How Ukraine, including its Jewish population, paid for Victory in World War II — and how Russia tries to appropriate the common Victory and others’ sorrow
American journalist Edgar Snow wrote back in January 1945 that Ukraine had “paid the bill” for the war. Today, this conversation is especially important for the Israeli audience: the price of Victory included not only Ukrainian fronts and destroyed cities but also the fates of many peoples who then inhabited Ukraine, including the Jews of […]
Europe without the American umbrella: what the new ECFR survey tells Israel about security, allies, and the price of illusions
Europeans are no longer sure that the US will protect them in case of war In Europe, there was not just a political dispute about Donald Trump, NATO, or defense spending.

The UN has hit Hamas so hard for the first time: executions, torture, and fear inside Gaza
The UN report on Hamas crimes in the Gaza Strip was a rare moment when an international body directly described not only Israel’s war with the terrorist organization but also the internal terror against the enclave’s own residents.

Artificial intelligence has reached the Kremlin: why Putin’s security cameras have become his weak spot and what Israel has to do with it
The Kremlin’s security system has faced a new reality: cameras that are supposed to protect the authorities can themselves become a tool for surveillance against them.

On June 10, 2026, Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine reached its 1568th day. This is not just a date on the calendar.

HAMAS is playing with weapons again — yesterday they ‘agreed’, today they no longer do
Around Gaza, the same cycle spins again: mediators talk about progress, sources promise formulas, Hamas pretends to be ready for concessions, and the next day everything almost returns to the starting point.

Apartment painting in Haifa and Krayot: why in Israel they sell not a ‘painter’, but peace of mind, deadlines, and a clear estimate
Apartment painting in Haifa, Krayot, Nesher, and Tirat Carmel has long ceased to be a simple household service in Israel from the series “a master came and refreshed the walls.” Today, the market is arranged differently: the client buys not a can of paint and not a few passes with a roller, but a predictable […]
USSR 2.0 Unmasked — Why Russia is Rapidly Turning into a New Type of Labor Camp
