  • HEADLINES1. Israel Faces Unprecedented Internal Divisions Amid War2. Iran’s Nuclear Arsenal Threatens Global Security by 20253. India-Pakistan Clash Sparks Fears of Nuclear EscalationThe time is now 02:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Today, the Middle East remains deeply embroiled in a multi-front conflict that threatens regional stability and international security. In South Asia, India and Pakistan have entered their most intense clash in decades, involving missile strikes, drone attacks, and escalating violence across Kashmir. This confrontation, with its nuclear-armed nations, raises fears of a broader war, as diplomatic efforts to de-escalate are struggling to gain traction.Meanwhile, in Israel, the war with Hamas continues to evolve amid complex diplomatic and strategic challenges. Former Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Herzog, highlighted the internal and external pressures facing Israel. Herzog emphasized that the country is experiencing unprecedented internal division, which he considers a more immediate threat than external enemies. He warned that Israel lacks a clear plan for the postwar period in Gaza and criticized the lack of strategic foresight, urging early discussions with Egypt and other regional actors to shape the future governance of Gaza.Herzog also discussed the complicated diplomatic environment. He noted that Israel narrowly avoided significant rifts with the Biden administration during the conflict, despite difficulties with some mid-level officials who were sometimes hostile. Herzog described President Biden as a true friend of Israel, providing stability, whereas former President Trump’s approach was more disruptive but effective in mobilizing Arab states and regional engagement.Turning to Iran, Herzog warned that 2025 could be a decisive year for resolving the nuclear crisis. Iran currently possesses enough enriched uranium for seventeen nuclear bombs, and if it chooses to enrich weapons-grade material for even a single device, it could do so within a week. Herzog outlined four core conditions Israel seeks from the United States in negotiations with Iran: clarity on the scope of negotiations—including missile proliferation—the US’s red lines, the timeframe for agreement, and the military fallback options if diplomacy fails. He cautioned that Iran has demonstrated skill in circumventing international oversight, complicating efforts to contain its nuclear ambitions.Herzog was critical of the handling of humanitarian aid to Gaza, asserting that aid efforts inadvertently strengthened Hamas's control. He pointed out that support conditioned by the US, especially during the Biden administration, resulted in aid being misused, with no effective safeguards to prevent Hamas from benefiting. Herzog emphasized the urgent need for a coherent policy, warning that Israel currently lacks a plan for who will govern Gaza after Hamas is removed.He also stressed that the priority must be the return of all hostages—alive and dead—before any move to remove Hamas from power. Herzog warned that public trust depends on the country’s commitment to rescuing captives, and that halting the fighting to secure hostages should take precedence. He underscored the importance of investigating Qatar’s influence, which he views as problematic given their statements blaming Israel and praising Hamas leaders. Herzog called for thorough investigations into Qatar’s role and influence operations.On the international front, Herzog reflected on the differences between Biden’s cautious stability and Trump’s chaotic diplomacy. While Trump’s approach was more disruptive, Herzog acknowledged that Trump’s strategies, such as proposing Gaza evacuations, succeeded in rallying regional action and Arab participation. Herzog sees Trump as fundamentally pro-Israel, despite political motivations, and emphasizes that the coming year must be a period of decisive action on Iran’s nuclear capabilities.In addition to these international concerns, domestic issues in Israel remain critical. Herzog expressed deep worries about internal polarization, erosion of core values, and social inequalities. He called for steps to heal the nation, including returning all hostages, establishing a commission of inquiry into October 7, and addressing disparities in burden-sharing.The broader geopolitical situation remains tense. As conflicts in South Asia and the Middle East unfold, the risk of escalation persists. The international community faces urgent decisions on how to contain nuclear proliferation, support humanitarian needs, and foster regional stability, all while managing internal divisions within Israel and allied nations.This complex, multi-layered crisis underscores the importance of strategic clarity, diplomatic resilience, and a unified effort to prevent further escalation. The coming weeks will be crucial in shaping the future of ...
