Olive Harvest, Area B
The olive harvest began near Nablus with the standard West Bank choreography: settlers enter, Palestinians are beaten and detained, soldiers arrive after the attackers leave, and police open an investigation in a village where the smashed cars are still standing.
In Osarin, south of Nablus, a 50-year-old Palestinian man was taken to hospital after an alleged settler assault. Videos showed more than a dozen men, identified by Palestinian sources as settlers, smashing a car outside a home.
The IDF said troops arrived after reports and footage of Israeli rioters attacking Palestinians and property, found damage and searched for suspects who had fled before they arrived. Police investigators and forensic personnel later entered the Area B village with military protection to collect evidence and testimony.
The army condemned the attack because it “harms defense and counterterrorism efforts.” That is the military’s vocabulary for a situation in which the people who smash Palestinian homes create work for soldiers, police and intelligence officers. The Palestinian who gets carried away from an olive grove does not appear in the phrase “counterterrorism efforts.”
Near Beita and Evyatar, the dispute began around an olive harvest inside a declared closed military zone. Palestinian farmers and Israeli activists, including Yonatan Pollak and Roi Elani, say troops prevented the harvest and detained Palestinians.
Settler accounts say Palestinians and activists advanced toward an Evyatar neighborhood and were pushed back toward Osarin, after which settlers entered the village and vandalized cars. The competing accounts agree on the important detail: the olive harvest turned into a military operation, and Osarin paid for it.
Elsewhere, Palestinian sources reported that settlers burned about 55 olive trees, each more than 40 years old, on land near Abu Dis southeast of Jerusalem. The reported burning covered roughly 14 dunams and occurred while a farmer harvested with his family. These figures come from WAFA and local sources cited in reporting.
Israel calls the area a security problem. The settlers call it a border problem. The army calls it a closed zone. A Palestinian farmer calls it the harvest. By nightfall, the olive trees have been converted into evidence.

The West Bank Naming Machine
At night, Sami al-Shami was a journalist detained with his brother Yazid after troops raided their home in Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus.
By morning, pro-settler outlets had upgraded him into a “terrorist posing as a journalist.” No charges, evidence or official accusation accompanied the promotion.
In the West Bank, “journalist” is a job title until somebody needs a cleaner headline.
Israeli forces also detained journalist Raja Jabr after raiding her home in Arraba, southwest of Jenin, according to Palestinian journalist organizations.
The same reporting described raids in Nablus’s Old City and Ras al-Ein neighborhood, plus an operation in Qabatiya. The IDF has not publicly detailed the accusations against al-Shami or Jabr in the cited reports.
On Friday, soldiers detained four foreign nationals near Kfar Tapuach. Police questioned them at Ariel station on suspicion of public-order offenses and entering a closed military zone, then passed their files to the Population and Immigration Authority for hearings before possible deportation.
A military zone is a flexible device: it can keep outsiders from a confrontation, or keep witnesses from watching it happen.
Meanwhile, Palestinian media reported that settlers entered al-Samou, south of Hebron, burned a Palestinian-owned vehicle, spray-painted graffiti on a home and damaged property.
Footage cited by Israeli reporting showed the words “Nova revenge,” referring to the October 7 music-festival massacre.
The raid gets a security label. The journalist gets a terrorist label. The foreign observer gets an expulsion hearing. The arson gets a report and a photograph.
By sunrise, the territory has been made orderly again.

Continuation of the post above 👆
A hostile operation does not necessarily need to cross the threshold into open warfare to have an effect. Sometimes its purpose is to create uncertainty, force an expensive security response and demonstrate that even heavily protected installations can be observed or penetrated.
In that sense, Fairford has become a test of something larger than the security of one British airfield.
It is a test of whether the United States can maintain vulnerable but strategically valuable forward positions while its adversaries increasingly look for unconventional ways to disrupt them.
The irony is that the B-1s themselves remain ready. Their return to the United States does not make them harmless or irrelevant; the aircraft are still capable of conducting long-range missions, and Washington retains the ability to deploy them wherever they are needed. But the sudden absence of the bombers from Fairford changes the psychological picture as well as the military one.
For months, the message sent by their presence was clear: American long-range strike power was already close at hand.
Now the runway is empty
The hangars and support infrastructure remain, and the United States has not abandoned its ability to operate from Britain. Yet the aircraft that gave Fairford much of its strategic significance have disappeared from view, leaving behind an investigation whose most consequential details may still be hidden from the public.
Somewhere inside British and American intelligence agencies, investigators are likely reconstructing the sequence of events that led to the arrests, examining surveillance records, communications, movements and contacts in an effort to determine whether the suspected operation was merely an unfinished scheme or a fragment of something considerably larger.
And that is where the story takes on its most troubling dimension.
The most dangerous operation is not always the one that succeeds. Sometimes the warning lies in the operation that is discovered just early enough to prevent catastrophe, while revealing that someone was already watching, planning and waiting for an opportunity.
For now, Washington insists that its B-1 force remains ready. But the sudden departure of all 12 bombers from Fairford is a reminder that modern military power is not measured solely by the number of aircraft an adversary possesses.
It is also measured by where those aircraft can safely operate, how much the enemy knows about their movements and whether a seemingly secure base can remain secure when the pressure begins to build in the shadows.
The bombers have gone home. The investigation has only begun.
And until investigators determine who was watching RAF Fairford, what they were planning and how close they came to carrying it out, the silence over the runway may prove more significant than the roar of the B-1s that once filled the sky above it.

The Superintelligence Committee
Trump has assigned America’s AI future to the intelligence chief. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will lead the White House’s new Super Intelligence Force, a 120-day task force to identify artificial intelligence’s risks and rewards, assess the federal government’s role and recommend what Washington should do.
Clayton’s official mission is to keep the United States ahead in “superintelligence” while serving the interests of Americans.
The term is Trump’s preferred replacement for artificial intelligence, because apparently the machines needed a bigger campaign logo before they could threaten civilization.
The group will review reports of model breaches, cyberattacks, jailbreaks and other AI failures.
Its charter calls for plans to respond to systemic threats while avoiding “overregulation” and “regulatory capture” that could hurt innovation and competition.
Washington is asking how to stop a technology from destabilizing society without inconveniencing the companies building it.
The choice of Clayton says everything. Advanced AI is no longer merely a software industry, a labor-market problem or a consumer-product controversy.
The White House has put the spy chief in charge because it sees AI as a national-security system with a chatbot interface.
The companies call it innovation. Workers call it job loss. Security officials call it an attack surface.
Trump calls it superintelligence. In 120 days, the task force will tell the government who is supposed to be in charge. The answer will probably be everyone who already owns the servers.

Hormuz Has Terms and Conditions
Iran says the Strait of Hormuz stays closed until Washington meets Tehran’s seven conditions under the Islamabad memorandum.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran will not set national security policy by “posts on X by U.S. officials.”
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran’s plan could reopen the passage within seven days, if the United States accepts Iran’s terms.
The American proposal reportedly returned to Iran through Qatari mediators with its usual center of gravity, nuclear limits first, everything else later.
Tehran’s answer is that the nuclear file is not even on the table yet. Iran wants sanctions relief, an end to hostilities, release of frozen funds and the lifting of what it calls a naval blockade before it restores the shipping lane that carries roughly a fifth of seaborne oil.
That is how negotiation works when one side has a strait and the other has an aircraft carrier. Washington calls Hormuz freedom of navigation. Tehran calls it collateral.
Trump has now repeated his ultimatum three times since the UN General Assembly. “Iran has been decimated,” he told reporters. “The only question is, it’ll either be the easy way or the hard way.” He has a decision to make, he says. Tehran hears a military threat dressed as customer service.
The waterway is not merely closed in speeches. UK Maritime Trade Operations reported a commercial tanker struck by an unknown projectile inside the Strait, damaging its engine room.
Its crew was safe, but the message was delivered: every stalled negotiation now has a hull attached to it.
Meanwhile, Israel has reportedly warned Germany that Iran may target U.S. bases at Ramstein and Spangdahlem, alongside earlier warnings about RAF Fairford in Britain.
Iran is telling the regional states not to allow their territory to serve as launchpads for U.S. or Israeli operations.
The war is expanding by logistics map: ports, bases, airspace and shipping lanes first; declarations later.
Trump offers Iran an easy way or a hard way. Iran offers seven conditions. The tanker takes the third option: the engine room.

Macronomics: The Fire Sale
Nine years ago, Emmanuel Macron promised to turn France into Europe’s pro-business engine.
Finance Minister Roland Lescure is now fighting to preserve what parliament, debt markets and the next election have not yet dismantled.
France’s public debt is projected to exceed 120% of GDP in 2027. Investors now demand more interest to lend to Paris than to Rome.
On October 1, France’s 10-year borrowing spread over Germany reached 149 basis points, its widest level since 2012.
Macron began with labor-market changes, corporate-tax cuts and the PACTE law, a package meant to make French business more competitive.
Then the Yellow Vest protests erupted in 2018 after a carbon-tax increase on fuel. The government backed down and spent more than €10 billion on tax breaks and bonuses for lower-income workers. Macron’s reform project found its electoral limit at the petrol station.
Covid completed the conversion.
France spent around €190 billion on Covid-related crisis and stimulus policies from 2020 through 2022, then roughly €72 billion during the energy crisis that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Macron built his reputation on fiscal modernization and kept it alive through emergency spending.
France still has achievements to show for it. Employment is higher, the labor market functions better, and France’s growth over the decade was beaten among Europe’s major economies only by Spain.
The bill has arrived anyway. Lescure’s budget plan combines spending cuts, freezes on public-sector wages and some pensions, extended taxes on large companies and tighter tax exemptions.
His minority government must negotiate every measure with a parliament built to block it.
The opposition is waiting with demolition permits. The National Rally has attacked Macron’s pension changes and favors retirement at 60.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants higher taxes on companies and wealthy households, sharper wage increases, and a plan to cancel or freeze debt held by the central bank. France’s next election may decide which faction dismantles Macron’s project first.
Macron wanted France to anchor a Europe independent of America, Russia and China. He leaves a country where the treasury must reassure bond traders and the government cannot reliably pass a budget.
He built a start-up nation. The market has priced it as a distressed asset.

The Aid Worker and the Parade
Four drone strikes hit Gaza on Sunday, according to local journalists, leaving at least two people dead and 16 wounded.
Gaza sources named one of the dead as Saqr Nabil Musa Qaisi, the Gaza representative of the Turkish aid organization Deniz Feneri, after a car was struck near Deir al-Balah. Initial Palestinian accounts put the wounded total from that strike anywhere between one and 10.
Israel later said Qaisi was a Hamas Nukhba Force operative who took part in the October 7 assault and had recently worked to attack Israeli troops and civilians and rebuild Hamas capabilities.
The IDF said he also ran Deniz Feneri’s Gaza operation, alleging that the Turkish charity employed Hamas operatives and financed them. Deniz Feneri presented Qaisi as its humanitarian-aid coordinator.
The car bombing therefore arrived with two biographies attached: Turkey’s aid worker and Israel’s October 7 operative.
The organization sits close enough to Ankara for the politics to be obvious. Deniz Feneri has hosted Hamas figures Khaled Mashaal and Sami Abu Zuhri at its gatherings, and Qaisi was known locally as an imam who preached in mosques across southern Gaza.
Turkey calls this solidarity. Israel calls it a Hamas funding channel. Either way, another Turkish-linked institution has become part of the Gaza battlefield.
Elsewhere, Gaza sources reported the killing of municipal employee Muadh Abu Nseira near Hamad City in Khan Younis, four wounded in Beit Lahiya, two in al-Salatin and three injured in Jabalia.
Figures remain fragmented because the attacks, casualty reporting and claims of responsibility are moving faster than verification.
In Rafah, the anti-Hamas Popular Forces militia under Ghassan al-Dahini released video of dozens of armed men marching under the title “Spear Force.”
The group says it is expanding recruitment and is thought to field roughly 600 to 800 fighters, making it the largest armed faction openly operating against Hamas inside Gaza. A militia parade is not a victory over Hamas. It is a recruitment commercial filmed inside a war zone.
The drone killed a man described as both aid official and Nukhba fighter. The militia marched to advertise its men.
Gaza now has humanitarian logos, Hamas cells and anti-Hamas uniforms sharing the same terrain. Every side calls it protection. Every side needs more bodies.

1,835 Green Lights
Britain’s Green Party has made anti-Zionism official policy by a vote of 1,022 to 813.
The motion, submitted by the internal group Greens for Palestine, defines Zionism as an ethnonationalist ideology, calls for it to be treated as a form of racism.
The group demands one Palestinian state across historic Palestine with equal rights for Jews. Israel itself receives no right of continued existence in the text.
The majority was 56 percent. The electorate was 1,835 people in a party with more than 200,000 members. Less than 1 percent of the membership has decided that the British Greens should classify the Jewish national movement as racism. Representative democracy has never been so compact.
Leader Zack Polanski did not vote. His deputy voted for the motion. The party says anti-Zionism is not antisemitism and supports Palestinian “liberation,” the right of return, BDS and a full arms embargo against Israel.
The formula is simple: dissolve the Jewish state, promise Jews equal rights in the state that replaces it, and file the program under anti-racism.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the Greens had stopped functioning as a political party and become a body that supports terrorism. The phrase is political combat. The vote is a fact: a British party with five MPs has placed the removal of Israel from its political map.
A country that once issued the Balfour Declaration now has an environmental party treating Zionism as pollution. The conference has voted for removal.

The Lone-Wolf Convenience
Israeli investigators now assess that Flydubai co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami likely acted alone when he attacked Captain Smit Machchhar and attempted to seize Flight FZ1073 on its way from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
The UAE has called the attack terrorism. Israel’s preliminary assessment calls it a lone-wolf operation. Both can be true, but the second version has one bureaucratic advantage, no state needs to explain how a known extremist reached a cockpit on an Israel route.
The aircraft transmitted 7700, the general-emergency code, and seven minutes later 7500, the code for unlawful interference. Flight data reviewed by Reuters showed the Boeing 737 dropped about 16,000 feet in roughly 30 seconds before the captain and people who entered the cockpit regained control. The plane later landed in Saudi Arabia.
Corriere della Sera reports, citing Israeli intelligence and two Boeing 737 captains who reviewed available video, that al-Hammami disconnected the autopilot, forced the aircraft into a dive and may have moved both engine fuel switches from “run” to “cutoff.”
The newspaper says he intended to kill the captain with the cockpit crash axe and crash the plane into a Tel Aviv skyscraper. Those specific claims have not been independently confirmed by the UAE-led investigation.
Australia’s Joint Counter Terrorism Team, which includes federal police, Victoria Police and ASIO, is investigating al-Hammami’s links to the country, where he studied in 2014–15.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel are also examining the incident and the suspect’s contacts. The question is no longer whether the cockpit attack happened. It is how a pilot previously flagged over extremist concerns was cleared to fly a Boeing full of Israelis toward Tel Aviv.
Iran is the obvious geopolitical suspect because Tehran has threatened bases and targets linked to Israel and the United States. But no evidence made public so far connects Iran to al-Hammami.
The investigation may find a network. A lone wolf still needs a boarding pass.

The UAE has called the attack terrorism. Israel’s preliminary assessment calls it a lone-wolf operation. Both can be true, but the second version has one bureaucratic advantage, no state needs to explain how a known extremist reached a cockpit on an Israel route.
The aircraft transmitted 7700, the general-emergency code, and seven minutes later 7500, the code for unlawful interference. Flight data reviewed by Reuters showed the Boeing 737 dropped about 16,000 feet in roughly 30 seconds before the captain and people who entered the cockpit regained control. The plane later landed in Saudi Arabia.
Corriere della Sera reports, citing Israeli intelligence and two Boeing 737 captains who reviewed available video, that al-Hammami disconnected the autopilot, forced the aircraft into a dive and may have moved both engine fuel switches from “run” to “cutoff.”
The newspaper says he intended to kill the captain with the cockpit crash axe and crash the plane into a Tel Aviv skyscraper. Those specific claims have not been independently confirmed by the UAE-led investigation.
Australia’s Joint Counter Terrorism Team, which includes federal police, Victoria Police and ASIO, is investigating al-Hammami’s links to the country, where he studied in 2014–15.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel are also examining the incident and the suspect’s contacts. The question is no longer whether the cockpit attack happened. It is how a pilot previously flagged over extremist concerns was cleared to fly a Boeing full of Israelis toward Tel Aviv.
Iran is the obvious geopolitical suspect because Tehran has threatened bases and targets linked to Israel and the United States. But no evidence made public so far connects Iran to al-Hammami.
The investigation may find a network. A lone wolf still needs a boarding pass.

Bolsonaro Leads Lula Into Brazil’s Runoff
Flávio Bolsonaro finished first in Brazil’s presidential election, with 47.03% of valid votes to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s 45.16%. Neither cleared 50%, so they will face each other again on October 25.
Lula had expected to end the race in the first round. Instead, he enters the runoff behind the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who called the result proof that Brazil wants change.
Lula said the result was unexpected and that he had been sure he would win outright.
The congressional vote made the race harder for Lula even if he wins the presidency.
Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party is projected to hold 28 of the Senate’s 81 seats from February 2027, while right-wing parties and allies are expected to control more than 45 seats.
Brazil may elect Lula again and give him a chamber built to price every vote.
The runoff is no longer about whether Lula can win. It is about whether Brazil wants a fourth term for Lula or the return of Bolsonaroism under a new surname.

The City Between Two Drone Fleets
Oleshky, a city across the Dnipro from Kherson, is starving inside a battlefield both armies have turned into a kill zone. About 2,000 civilians, including roughly 40 children, remain among mines, drones, burned cars and destroyed infrastructure. The last known food delivery by road arrived on May 26.
Residents told the New York Times they are cooking their last food stores: one beet, a few potatoes, an onion, a zucchini, a tomato and barley. No carrots. No regular water, electricity, gas, heat or medical care.
A city that once held more than 20,000 people has been reduced to old people searching collapsed basements for scraps while drones decide whether a trip outside ends in food or death.
Ukraine says Russia blocks evacuations, intimidates civilians who receive aid and intercepts drone deliveries. Moscow says Ukrainian forces prevent residents from leaving and disrupt food and water shipments. The competing accounts have one shared fact: civilians cannot safely get out, and food cannot safely get in.
Russia captured Oleshky on the first day of the full-scale invasion, February 24, 2022. After losing Kherson later that year, Russian forces used Oleshky as a fortified position across the river, with artillery and drone sites aimed at the Ukrainian-held city.
Ukraine now strikes back from Kherson. Between them lies a river that became a front line, roads seeded with mines by one side or both, and a civilian population that neither army has extracted.
Russia drops food and medicine by drone. Ukraine shoots down some of the drones, Russian officials say. Russia says Ukraine’s drones are the problem. The UN and Red Cross are being asked to arrange a corridor. Nobody has one.
A Russian-held city is starving. Ukraine calls the residents “our people.” Russia calls it Ukraine’s fault. The drones are bipartisan.

Geography Returns With a Knife
The global economy spent three decades pretending distance was dead. Then Iran squeezed the Strait of Hormuz and reminded everybody that oil still needs a narrow piece of water, a ship and a captain willing to enter a kill zone.
The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has turned Hormuz into a tariff booth operated with mines, drones and missiles.
Oil has begun moving again, but largely under U.S. Navy escort.
Iran’s power is not technological parity with Washington. It is the map: one shoreline beside the world’s most important energy chokepoint.
That is why a regional war now reaches supermarkets, diesel pumps, factories and farms far from the Gulf. Higher energy prices feed inflation.
Inflation pressures central banks. Interest rates rise. Transport costs jump. The same route that carries Gulf oil also carries the cost of fertilizer, food and electricity to countries with no vote in the war.
The Houthis learned the same lesson at Bab el-Mandeb, the southern gateway to the Red Sea. Iran cannot match the American fleet. The Houthis cannot match Iran.
But each can sit beside a corridor that richer countries built their economies around and charge the planet for passing through.
Globalization did not abolish geography. It put supply chains on top of it and called the result resilience.
The new world order is brutally physical. Ukraine is a hinge between Europe and Eurasia. Taiwan anchors the island chain off China’s coast.
The Panama Canal needs rain. The Rhine needs water. Hormuz needs an agreement, or an escort fleet. Every app still depends on a port, a river, a cable, a refinery and a strait somebody else can close.
Trump said at the UN, “To the victor belong the spoils,” speaking about Venezuela’s oil. Iran heard the same doctrine and found its own spoils: tolls on global trade. The American answer is naval power. The Iranian answer is geography.
The ships move again only when a warship says they can. That is not free trade. It is a convoy system with a Bloomberg terminal.

Iran’s Three-Front Security State
Iran woke to a patrol ambush in Sistan and Baluchestan, two executions in Isfahan and a warning that Starlink could become a military target. The state faces gunmen on a southeastern highway, prisoners in its jails and satellite terminals on its rooftops.
Gunmen attacked a police patrol from the Nokju station near Bampur on the Bampur–Iranshahr road. Two officers, Amirhossein Ghasemi and Nezam Dastgoshadeh, were killed and a third was wounded, according to Iranian media.
No group immediately claimed responsibility. Tasnim, a state-linked outlet, blamed forces it described as affiliated with the “U.S.-Israeli enemy.”
Iran also executed Alireza Sepahi and Alireza Raeisi, two men arrested during the January protests in Isfahan. Iran’s judiciary said they were convicted of membership in an armed rebel group, “waging war against God” and involvement in the deaths of four police officers.
Rights groups described them as protesters tried in the Alikhani Square case. The executions bring to at least seven the number of defendants in that case put to death, according to rights-monitoring reports.
Mohammad Amin Aghamiri, secretary of Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace, said the authorities had disabled Starlink terminals during the January unrest.
He warned that satellite-internet infrastructure used for military purposes could become a target. Tehran treats internet access as a battlefield because a phone signal can mobilize a crowd faster than a police van can disperse it.
Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi gave the external version. A new war against Iran, he said, would spread across the region.
If Washington moves against Tehran before or after the midterms, Iran would strike U.S. interests without limits. The message is aimed at Washington, but it lands on every Gulf state hosting American troops.
Iran calls its enemies terrorists, rioters and foreign agents. The categories change according to the battlefield. The answer does not: treat every threat as war, then make the target disappear.

Chosenness Has a Finance Department
Rabbi Dov Lando says Israel would have been better off never being founded. His political allies negotiate with the government. The state’s spiritual value and its payment schedule belong to separate departments.
Lando exposed a disagreement over what Jewish chosenness requires. In the Haredi model, Jews owe obligations to Torah. The state earns its keep by supporting that life. Religious Zionism gives land and sovereignty a sacred purpose. Secular Zionism translates chosenness into democracy and military morality. Each camp arrives with a different job description for Israel.
Religious Zionists want the army to secure the promised land. Secular Zionists want it to protect the country and certify its moral distinction. Lando’s standard asks whether the national project serves Torah.
A flag answers that question poorly. A budget line does better.
Netanyahu’s coalition makes these competing interpretations administratively compatible. Politicians who sanctify sovereignty need votes from politicians whose religious authority questions the state’s very existence.
The latter can collect public funding without purchasing the accompanying theology.
Three versions of chosenness share one treasury. Coalition negotiations handle the exchange rate.

Neutrality, NATO-Compatible
Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksii Honcharenko has put neutrality on the negotiating table. It comes with NATO cooperation and a Ukrainian army financed from a joint European budget. Moscow gets the label. Kyiv keeps the military connections. Europe gets the invoice.
On Oct. 5, Ukrainian News reported his formula: “We cannot defeat Russia. Russia cannot defeat us.” Honcharenko proposes separate agreements on shipping, energy and civilian infrastructure, each with its own guarantor.
Sanctions on Russian energy would ease in exchange for concessions, then return if attacks resumed. Peace would arrive in installments.
Calling this “Ukrainians want a ceasefire to rearm” turns one politician’s proposal into a national confession.
Honcharenko’s neutrality preserves Western military cooperation and European army funding. His plan gives Russia sanctions relief while keeping Ukraine’s defense tied to the West.
Ukraine would retain something worth bringing to the next confrontation.
Poroshenko’s European Solidarity announced on Oct. 5 that it could no longer continue its political partnership with Honcharenko over his positions on ending the war and Ukraine’s future security arrangements. Even discussing the price of compromise carries a domestic bill.
In December 2022, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the 2014 Minsk agreement as an attempt to “give Ukraine time” to strengthen its defenses. Honcharenko’s proposal puts neutrality alongside continued NATO cooperation and European funding for Ukraine’s army.
A ceasefire can stop the shooting while the military budget keeps working. Merkel explained the value of the interval afterward. Honcharenko puts the financing in the prospectus.

The Army Needs an Escort
Military police went to Modi’in overnight to arrest a deserter. By morning, the soldiers had left under police protection. The deserter celebrated surrounded by hundreds of protesters.
Reports offered competing versions of the operation. One described a failed arrest after violence against police.
Another said protesters stormed a police station and forcibly freed the detainee.
A third described a crowd forcing its way into a building to prevent his arrest. The ending stayed consistent: the arrest target stayed, and the arresting force needed an escort out.
The opposition promptly opened its campaign office at the scene. Gadi Eisenkot promised a draft law that would strengthen the army. Naftali Bennett offered a financial sanction: “In our government, anyone who doesn’t serve won’t get a shekel.”
Avigdor Lieberman supplied the coalition arithmetic: “Without the draft dodgers, Bibi has no government.”
Netanyahu depends on the political partners the opposition blames for obstructing military service.
His rivals promise to bring them into line once they take office. The soldiers sent to enforce the existing rules needed police protection to leave.
The deserter got his celebration immediately. Enforcement comes after the election.
