Israel 2026 does not live in security – it lives in the continuous management of insecurity.
And this is perhaps the most Israeli achievement there is: turning a state of emergency into a functioning routine.
In a country where everyone is sure they are the prime minister – the fact that there is still a country is probably our greatest success.
It’s not a paradox that I break down more on Holocaust Day… it actually makes sense.
Because Holocaust Day touches on a place that has no defenses: no army, no state, no heroic story.
Just a person – facing the world’s ability to break him down.
To sum it up simply: missiles are hardware, regimes are software
And in the Middle East, software tends to crash long before the hardware does.
There are countries where a “news update” means a political scandal, a change in the weather, or an important football match. In Israel, however, a “news update” is often something along the lines of:
“Alarms in the center, interceptions in the north, the public is asked to stay near protected areas.” And that’s it. Life goes on.
Purim 2026 is not just another holiday under fire. It is a stark reminder that even in an age of precision missiles and suicide drones, there is one thing that is very difficult to intercept – a national will to continue living.
And in the Middle East of 2026, it is a strategic weapon no less important than any air defense system.

Will it end tomorrow? Probably not… Is it a process that has begun? Absolutely.
And in the Middle East, sometimes the realization that the game has changed is more dangerous than any launch
A Look at the Broad Strategic Question: Is Regime Change in Iran a Narrow Israeli Interest, or a Broader Western-Democratic Interest?
And what is behind the American claim, from the right and the left, that “Iran is a War for Israel”?
Israel is a mirror and Egypt, like many others, does not like what it sees in it.
