#Israelis are interested in a role in #Trump's #space defense ambitions, "Iron Dome for America" -- now renamed "Golden Dome" (his favorite color). How it might work: much more than local-area #IronDome that #Israel invented. My new article for Moment... momentmag.com/trump-iron-d...

#Netanyahu, at his corruption trial in #Israel: “It’s not new that heads of Shin Bet and #Mossad are against me" (h/t @TimesOfIsrael). My co-author Yossi Melman and I discuss the PM+his #spies in turmoil, on THE MOSSAD FILES - Episode 3--on all podcast platforms incl open.spotify.com/show/3v7NMAj...

#Trump supposedly keeps an eye on #stocks as a measure of his success. But he plows ahead with #tariffs on #CVanada #China #Mexico. How and when will US companies and consumers be the winners? See how Axios PM tracked the N.Y. market today (POTUS spoke, stocks sank):

On THE MOSSAD FILES, Yossi Melman and I wonder if #Netanyahu takes a page from #Trump's book: insisting on loyalists to head security agencies and military. Also-- #Israel's decision on #Gaza: back to war? or focus on a #hostages deal? Just 20 minutes, on podcast sites including: apple.co/4gWNmMR

I have tracked the stock markets pretty closely for 50 years and rarely have I found investors (incl.managers of huge funds) so confused--as to what comes next. Tariffs triggering a trade war? Big US tech companies lose their stock-price mojo? American economy likely to emerge a winner? Usually yes.

#Israeli #hostages seen in new propaganda video, in which brothers plead to #Netanyahu for release deal (one has been freed, the other not). Family OK’d the video published. Adds pressure to #Gaza decision @yossi_melman and I discuss on THE MOSSAD FILES: (on all podcast platforms) apple.co/4gWNmMR

#Ukraine . What can I say about the bullying session, #Trump and #Vance leaned hard on #Zelenskyy and publicly moved even more into the #Putin camp. Historic. Outcome uncertain... Can Europe keep Ukraine's war going? Would that be wise?

In #Israel is #Netanyahu taking a page out of #Trump's book by shoving aside intelligence professionals? @Yossi_Melman and I analyze that -- plus #Israel's fateful #Gaza decision (war? or #hostages?) on THE MOSSAD FILES podcast open.spotify.com/show/3v7NMAj... and podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Big decisions by #Trump are usually about money: Does something make a profit for America? (See #Ukraine) - as though USA is a corporation (and he the CEO with the full decision power: really doesn't feel like 3 branches of government to me). So - How does "English as the official language" fit in?

#Netanyahu in strife with #Mossad and #ShinBet intel chiefs -- like #Trump taking over all security agencies? And: misery at #Israel funeral, how it affects key decision on #Gaza: more freed hostages? or return to war? On THE MOSSAD FILES with me + Yossi Melman: open.spotify.com/episode/1XEM...

I am outside the country but watching the "cabinet meeting." All these #cabinet secretaries have to sit through a long impromptu press conference -- with a press pool that White House shamefully handpicked. Glad to hear elected leaders answer questions, but jeez - enough is enough. Do some work.

As #Israel has one of its saddest days, we wonder if tragedy and anger lead to keeping the ceasefire and #hostages releases with urgency - or enabling #Netanyahu to go back to war in #Gaza.

In TIME - What CEOs know, but Trump misses, is that Putin’s vague offer is much less than meets the eye...No US company is eager to return. Russia's economy is imploding with decayed infrastructure, supply chain gaps and inhabitable business environment time.com/7261449/puti...

On KABC Radio Frank Mottek (Mottek on Money) asked me what #Israel will do next. Indeed! #Netanyahu wants to extend Phase 1 of ceasefire: more #hostages released but not ending #Gaza war. More perspective in my weekly podcast THE MOSSAD FILES with Yossi Melman: spoti.fi/415tAsB
