๐จ A short-sighted, populist move by Israelโs shallow FM. ๐ฎ๐ช Ireland is ๐ฎ๐ฑ Israelโs largest EU trading partner (thanks to @intel), and shutting down its Dublin embassy is to undermine Israelโs own economic interests.

#BREAKING: In a pre-recorded message rathern live, PM Netanyahu delivers a rambling, disjointed defense of the ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, downplaying its significance while recycling empty rhetoric about "total victory" over Hamas, the Iranian threat, and hollow promises on hostage release.
๐จ#ICC impact: Netanyahu might never visit the U.S. ever again, even as President Trump's guest. Though safe in the U.S., flying over Europe will now carry the risk of an emergency landing (due to mechanical or health reasons) -- and thus possible arrest.
๐จ #BREAKING: ICC issues warrants of arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.

On Netanyahu's new Defense Minister Israel Katz:
Comical, pathetic ministers are hallmarks of dictatorshipsโappointed on the leader's whim to flaunt his power. Their humiliation is deliberate, a grotesque homage: "Do with me as you will, degrade me, I was born for this."

Wow. The Israeli airliner, El Al, has now resumed flying to... ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!! (See last line. Nine seats still available on tomorrow's flight 5165.)
#TelAviv, week 39 of the pro-democracy protest.
A few days after #Netanyahu incited against liberal Israelis, depicting them as leftist pogromists attacking patriotic Jews, the main banner reads: YOU WILL NOT DIVIDE US. ๐ฎ๐ฑ

#SCOOP: Saudi officials were briefed on and greenlighted key talking points in Biden and Netanyahu's statements on normalization, a U.S. official tells me.
Ahead of #Biden's mtg w/ #Netanyahu tomorrow, it's important we remember that, under Netanyahu, ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐น has increasingly been acting as an ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐, not an ally, ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐จ๐ฆ. (See my piece, together w/ @pardosharon, in @TIME below.)
