How to Build that Broad Coalition NOW by Aryeh Green

  Israel Needs a Government of National Purpose, Not Another Narrow Coalition By Aryeh Green [Originally published  here on The Jerusalem Post, 30 October '26] Israel desperately needs a broad national government. Not another narrow coalition held hostage by sectoral parties. Not another election or government defined primarily as “pro-“ or “anti-Bibi”. We need a coalition representing the overwhelming majority of Israelis who agree on the great majority of the strategic issues facing our country. And we need political leaders willing to put the country's future ahead of their personal rivalries.   Here’s a plan to do just that. As others have suggested, Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman, Yair Lapid and, yes, even Yair Golan must reconsider their refusal to serve in a Netanyahu-led government. The prime minister, in turn, should accept a genuine national-unity arrangement that includes his retirement from politics after two years. Neither side ...

Voting my conscience & for a better future

  Voting my conscience & for a better future Why I am voting for the Reservists/Economists/Strength party A few people have asked me about my vote in this election. Not sure why, but since you asked.... In brief TLDR (אמל״ק): 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬/𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧/𝐎𝐳 (המילואימניקים - ״די״ - https://www.themiluimnikim.org.il/? ) because: (a) They best 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬; (b) I believe they 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝; and (c) an 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 dealmaker/bridge-maker with 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, whose 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 I support, may be key to the future of our politics and communal fabric. -------------------- Some detail, including notes below for those interested in more (and for gluttons for punishment, welcome to DM me )": 1.

Finding Peace in the Promised Land - A New Path for Peace - JPost Book Review

'Finding Peace in the Promised Land': From the Israel Trail to a new path for peace - book review In a region long portrayed as a graveyard of peace plans, Author Aryeh Green refuses to accept despair as our inevitable destiny and trailblazes a way forward. By YAKIR FELDMAN - OCTOBER 4, 2026 Is peace in the Middle East even possible? Author Aryeh Green is passionately convinced that the answer is “Yes,” and in his latest book Finding Peace in the Promised Land , he lays out a bold and hopeful, yet deeply sensible and practical path forward, grounded in Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and universal values. When a veteran Muslim-Arab Israeli journalist like Khaled Abu Toameh calls a book “a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Arab-Israeli conflict and the path for peace and coexistence,” it is worth paying attention. Green’s book earns that endorsement, as well as endorsements from others, including former ambassador Michael Oren, Middle East Forum President Daniel P...

Bringing Real Peace - JPost OpEd

From Hatred to Humanity: How we can bring real peace By Aryeh Green [Originally published here in The Jerusalem Post July '26] Last month an unremarkable item appeared in the news which was, in a word, remarkable. Soldiers of the IDF stationed in the UAE, using Israeli technology in the Iron Dome battery positioned there by the state of Israel, shot down drones and missiles fired by Iran targeting the civilian population of the UAE. Take a moment to consider: The people of Israel (Jews mostly) and the modern nation-state of Israel defended Muslim Arabs against aggressive attacks by Muslim Persians – for the first time in… forever. Separate from all the public statements and rhetoric, promises and signed agreements between Arabs/Muslims and Israel/Jews over the past two decades, this (un)remarkable news item demonstrates the sort of tangible results and benefits of real peace between Arabs and Jews in our time. What has prevented peace in the Promised Land?   Why hav...
