On Monday, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House to discuss, according to President Trump, “Iran, trade, the expansion of the Abraham Accords, and… how to end the war in Gaza.”

This week, several Western countries, including the UK, France, Australia and Canada, concluded their complete capitulation to the antisemitic elements within their domestic constituencies and recognized the state of “Palestine.” The question is, what does this actually mean?

On Tuesday, in the New York Times, Thomas L. Friedman, syndicated columnist of the New York Times, authored a lengthy column attacking Israeli policy in Gaza. The column was a near-comprehensive cavalcade of well-dressed neo-left talking points, and as such, gives us a great opportunity to put a few of those myths to bed.

In this week’s edition of the Action Update, we look at the latest proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, see where things stand with Lebanese efforts to disarm Hezbollah, and then delve into the Iranian regime’s efforts to rebuild its once fearsome presence, and how the world can undermine those efforts with a tight squeeze on Tehran’s cashflow.

Since the conclusion of the Operation Rising Lion and the American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the Middle East has changed even more than we could have fathomed even a few years ago. Nonetheless, freedom’s enemies are down but not out. Moreover, as all these world-changing events have been taking place, CUFI held its annual Washington Summit and Prime Minister Netanyahu visited Washington. Let’s get into it.
