Garvan Walshe: A famous hawk – suspicious of Iran and a school reformer. And he won’t resign. No, I’m not talking about Gove…

The numbers in the Knesset are finely balanced, and the search is on for a figurehead to end Netanyahu’s decade in power.

Ben Roback: So far, there is little sign of Trump’s promised ‘Deal of the Century’ in the Middle East

Delivering on his campaign promise to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy accordingly hasn’t helped.

Robert Halfon: There’s a sense in the air that party splits are coming. But here’s a surprise – they won’t be over Europe

Plus: ditching Corbyn – it’s not that easy for Britain’s Jews. And: thanks to Tracey Crouch and Danny Kruger, the Big Society is back.

Robert Halfon: A second referendum would be an insult to the people, a stunt worthy of a banana republic

Plus: Why it’s unfair to misrepresent Poland’s history; and the joy of a good book and a large cigar.

Eric Pickles: Netanyahu is in Britain. And the Duke of Cambridge will visit Israel – a sign that the two countries are drawing even closer.

But it is important to acknowledge that there are growing concerns within Israel about the rise of antisemitism in Britain.

Garvan Walshe: Gaza. Israel leaps into Hamas’s trap.

The use of live ammunition is the result of decisions either made or approved by the defence minister.

Daniel Kawczynski: We must back Trump’s withdrawal of support from the Iran deal

Obama and his partners ignored the loudly-voiced concerns of our key Gulf strategic partners and Israel that the deal ignored potential Iranian interference in the region.

Garvan Walshe: The IDF’s chief of staff thinks the Iran deal is good enough. Why doesn’t Netanyahu?

The Israeli Prime Minister senses a chance to finally succeed in his years-long campaign to persuade the United States to bomb Iran’s nuclear programme.

Garvan Walshe: The US Congress should stick with the Iran Deal

The deal won’t stop Iran’s nuclear programme for good, but it is still better than alternative, military means of non-proliferation.

Eric Pickles: Netanyahu’s visit. It would be fitting were Britain later to sign its first free trade deal with the Middle East’s only true democracy.

Our relationship with Israel makes us safer, healthier, and more prosperous.

Iain Dale: How did we all get America’s election so wrong?

In political terms, 2016 is turning out to be every bit as important, in historical terms, as 1968.

Syria’s agony, Putin’s boldness, America’s weakness

Allowing Russia to become top dog in the Middle East has consequences for Europe – including Britain.

Iain Dale: Corbyn’s in a bunker because Milne keeps him there

Plus: Fox, an assured voice for Leave. Clarke and Heseltine, missing voices for Remain. And: Mark Regev, a persuasive voice for Israel.

Iain Dale: For as long as Corbyn leads Labour, how can anyone who is Jewish vote for it?

Plus: Obama: so that went well, then. Scotland: will it go well for Davidson? Wales – it may go well for Neil Hamilton (remember him).

Rebecca Coulson: Is Rawabi for real?

I think regularly about the new West Bank Palestinian city that I visited , and how some of the things that confused me then still do now.
