Ra'am MK Calls Hamas 'Part Charity Organization'

Ra'am won five seats in the last election.

Ancient Greek History Offers Israel Stark Warnings on Overreach

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech in Athens drew parallels between ancient Greece and modern nations, prompting reflection on Israel's security challenges. The article argues that Israel, facing multiple conflicts, should heed historical warnings against military overreach, citing the declines of Sparta and Athens. Historical examples like the Peloponnesian War and Rome's eventual dominance over Greece suggest that prolonged engagements and overconfidence can lead to national attrition and ruin, even after initial victories.
