Support for Israel is a pillar of conservative foreign policy, and this tag covers the alliance as it is tested: the war with Iran and its proxies, the ceasefires, the UN and EU campaigns against Jerusalem, the European governments that turn away and the American administration that does not. The articles explain the geopolitics of the Middle East from the standpoint of a friend, and why standing with Israel is standing with America First.
Colombia has a new president, and the change is historic. Abelardo de la Espriella took his oath in Cali while police defused a bus loaded with explosives and Petro refused to attend.

Europe Israel relations reached their lowest point since October 7, and this week German Chancellor Friedrich Merz refused to punish Israel with broad sanctions.

The America UN confrontation exploded when US diplomats walked out of the Security Council during France's speech.

A secret annex to the Israel-Lebanon agreement was kept hidden at Lebanon's own request. Why? Because Hezbollah and Iran would use it to sabotage the deal. That single fact exposes the real Lebanon sovereignty issue: it is not Israel occupying the south. It is Iran controlling Lebanon through Hezbollah for four decades.
The MoU was signed just ten days ago. Now the Iran deal crisis is already here. The U.S. struck Iranian targets on June 27 after Iran attacked a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran claims it retaliated. Both sides blame each other. Meanwhile Hezbollah is losing in Lebanon and Iran's own ambassador was expelled from Beirut.
Colombia election results are in: conservative outsider Abelardo de la Espriella wins the presidential runoff with 49.65 percent against leftist Ivan Cepeda's 48.70 percent, a margin of under 250,000 votes.

Israel's concerns about the MoU focus on Iran's nuclear program, missile capabilities, proxy networks, and the next 60 days of negotiations. We examine which concerns are supported by the published text, which depend on future developments, and how differing U.S. and Israeli priorities may shape the final agreement.
