Amid a quiet-yet-massive arms race between l=rael and Hezbollah, both sides are preparing for the possibility of a w=r branching out to sea. The new reality for Israel's navy is that H=zbollah and Hamas are more than terrorist organizations—they repres=nt new kinds of armies. The navy is acquiring systems for defending itsel= against incoming rockets and missiles, former Israeli Navy Chief Vice=Admiral Eliezer Marum told JNS.org. "The navy can deal with these t=reats," he said. "It has solutions for them now, should w=r break out."

President Donald Trump's domestic cris=s doesn't change the fact that there is a realignment in the Middle=East between Israel and the Arab states—and potentially the Palesti=ians—based on shared interests, from economic development to conf=onting the Iranian threat. These opportunities form the basis for a meani=gful peace process—one that won't depend on the fate of a sin=le president, writes JNS.org columnist Ben Cohen.
