Israel and the Persian Gulf: Dawn of a New Era

BY Joshua Teitelbaum

Since the signing of the Abraham Accords in September, 2020, rapid and significant progress has been made in relations between Israel and its Gulf neighbors. More than 150 memoranda have been signed, and trade has increased over 65 percent. What is the historical context of these current developments? What are the possibilities for increased cooperation between Israel and Saudi Arabia?

Joshua Teitelbaum is a historian of the modern Middle East. He teaches at Bar-Ilan University and is an affiliate scholar at Stanford University. He is the author of several books, including Political Liberalization in the Persian Gulf (2009). He received his BA from UCLA and his MA and PhD from Tel Aviv University.
 
The Middle East Forum, an activist think tank, deals with the Middle East, Islamism, U.S. foreign policy, and related topics, urging bold measures to protect Americans and their allies. Pursuing its goals via intellectual, operational, and philanthropic means, the Forum recurrently has policy ideas adopted by the U.S. government.

How Do You Say ‘Comeback Kid’ in Hebrew?

The exit polls from Israel’s general election Tuesday testify to Benjamin Netanyahu’s political stamina and character.

Congratulations are in order for Benjamin Netanyahu, who, in an astounding reversal of fortune, is likely to return as Israel’s prime minister for an unprecedented third time. The latest exit polls from the general election Tuesday — the fifth in four years — show that the leader of the Likud Party is in a position to extend a span in power that is already the longest in Israel’s history. It would be a remarkable show of political stamina and character.

Not that it is going to be easy. With something like 80 percent of the vote counted, it looks like a decisive victory for a coalition pledged to support Mr. Netanyahu. Yet members of such a coalition include some of Israel’s most far-right politicians. If Mr. Netanyahu seeks a coalition by relying solely on such parties, the country’s polarization could become wider and more bitter than it has been, which is saying something. 

The key figure in that drama is the right-wing leader Itamar Ben Gvir. He is a disciple of the martyred radical rabbi Meir Kahane. Mr. Netanyahu did his utmost to pull Mr. Ben Gvir out of the political fringe and into the main fold. In a repudiation of the current centrist government of Prime Minister Lapid, Mr. Ben Gvir’s party, Otzma Yehudit, which means Jewish Strength, emerged as what will be the third-largest party in the next Knesset.

This gives Mr. Ben Gvir leverage in negotiations over the new government. He’s said that he would seek to be minister of internal security, which would place him atop the police force and other bodies charged with law enforcement and fighting terrorism. Arab citizens of Israel will fear the prospect. What they see in Mr. Ben Gvir is a man who once worshipped Baruch Goldstein, a physician who in 1994 massacred 29 Muslim worshippers at Hebron. 

Mr. Ben Gvir has been making an effort to rebrand himself and drop his past, which includes a conviction for incitement to racism, yet nevertheless maintains policy prescriptions that put him far to the right of most security professionals. Last night Mr. Ben Gvir’s supporters greeted him with chants “death to the terrorists.” They reportedly were instructed to avoid frequent cries of  “Death to the Arabs.”

All that is a far cry from Mr. Netanyahu’s message in his victory speech last night, in which he vowed to reunite the country. “We will work to lower the flames in the public discourse,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “We will strive to mend the fissures in a society ripped apart.” That suggests Mr. Netanyahu would need to marginalize Mr. Ben Gvir, blunt his instinct for mayhem, and to reunite with some centrist former allies. 

Ay, there’s the rub, too. For such former Likud members and others who could potentially coalesce with Bibi are likely to eschew any coalition that would include Mr. Ben Gvir. It’s us or him, they’re likely to say. Mr. Netanyahu’s government, therefore, may well be beholden to a figure who was a) until recently shunned by the majority of Israelis and b) greeted last night by crowds shouting “Hoo-hah, here’s the next prime minister.”

It’s a moment to bear in mind that Mr. Netanyahu is still on trial on various charges of corruption. We tend to see this as a symptom of the American Disease, a penchant for fighting political battles with criminal prosecutions. The prosecution is the scandal. Yet we don’t gainsay the danger that the criminal case could still make Mr. Netanyahu vulnerable to political attack from the right and left. Which makes his triumph Tuesday that much more impressive.

The Public Has a Right to Know Who Leaked the Dobbs Draft
Alito says the breach put justices’ lives in danger. That’s all the more reason for a serious investigation.
By Alan M. Dershowitz

Justice Samuel Alito stated last week that the leak of his draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization endangered the justices’ lives: “It gave people a rational reason to think they could prevent that from happening by killing one of us.” A man who was found heavily armed outside the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh two weeks before the court decided Dobbs has been charged with attempted murder.

One reason is that Chief Justice John Roberts assigned the Supreme Court Marshal’s Office to conduct the investigation. The marshal’s office oversees the Supreme Court police, which provides security for the building and the justices. But it is totally unequipped to conduct an investigation of this magnitude. It has no authority to issue subpoenas or to immunize witnesses to testify. The tools at its disposal are limited to questioning possible witnesses and asking to review telephone and computer records. There is no guarantee that an intensive investigation would find the leaker or leakers, but it is nearly certain that they won’t be found without one. They have a strong incentive not to come forward: No one could trust a lawyer who engineered or collaborated in such a breach.

Why did the chief justice assign the marshal’s office to conduct this investigation? That raises another question: Is the court fully committed to uncovering the truth?

The most likely suspects are court employees. Guilt may well be a matter of degree. If one law clerk knows that another clerk did it and assisted in the coverup, the former would be complicit in the breach. The same would be true of a justice who knew but didn’t come forward.

Rumors are swirling around the court as to who might be responsible. Some speculate that it was a clerk who wanted to put pressure on a justice to preserve Roe v. Wade. Others theorize that an anti-Roe law clerk who might have wanted to lock in a justice feared to be having second thoughts about joining the majority. Then there is always the possibility that a member of the support staff—say, someone in the printing office—might have been the leaker. The least likely suspects would be the justices themselves, though it isn’t beyond the realm of possibilities that a justice might have implicitly encouraged a clerk to do the deed.

Justice Alito and others concerned about the dangers of the breach should be calling for an outside investigator with the power to issue subpoenas, grant immunity and employ other traditional law-enforcement tactics that are both constitutional and ethical. Congress has the power to legislate such a special investigator. The Justice Department may also have the power to appoint a special investigator, despite the uncertainty over whether the leaking of an unpublished Supreme Court opinion constitutes a crime or merely a breach of rules and ethics. The integrity of the court and the confidentiality of its proceedings are essential aspects of governance. The government has a strong and legitimate interest in determining who violated the rules, who covered up the violation, and who knew about it either before or after the fact.

Politico, the news outlet to which the draft opinion was leaked, may know the identity of the leaker. It claims to have checked the draft opinion’s authenticity before publishing it. (The court later confirmed it.) If investigators question Politico, it will claim journalistic privilege and refuse to identify its source. If the government presses the matter, the courts will decide, weighing the public interest in Politico’s claim of confidentiality against that of the Supreme Court’s.

One might argue—and some justices may believe—that it isn’t in the institutional interests of the court to expose the malefactor. The situation appears stable despite Justice Alito’s worries, and it’s possible that revealing what happened could provoke a greater crisis. But if the leaker goes unexposed and unpunished, what deterrent will there be against future leaks?

Learning and disclosing the source of the leak would strengthen the high court by preventing future breaches and by allaying false suspicions against innocent justices, clerks and other employees. Uncovering the truth is of paramount importance in a democracy. As with the Jan. 6 riots, the American public has a right to know who carried out an attack on a vital institution of government and how.

Democrats Must Stop Dividing Our Country
BY STAR PARKER

As Democrats see the likelihood of the House and the Senate shifting to Republican control, they have rolled out their biggest gun to try to minimize the damage.

Former President Barack Obama, the most popular Democrat in the country, has hit the campaign trail to try to salvage victories in close and critical races.

Unfortunately, despite the charisma and charm of the former president, the message he is delivering is destructive for his party and for the country.

He is pitting Americans against Americans. Blacks against whites. The wealthy against the poor
