Israeli security expert Yossi Alpher's response to a Washington Jewish Week letter to the editor critiquing APN activist Barbara Green's opinion piece "Israel and U.S. Jews must break their shared silence"
President Trump's controversial US Ambassador to Israel has demonstrated
that APN was right to oppose his confirmation and subsequently call for his firing.
Based on his actions, statements, and our off-the-record conversations with informed insiders, it is clear that David Friedman is the chief architect behind the Trump administration's thinly concealed push to kill the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Friedman File is APN's comprehensive record documenting the deeds of the settlements enthusiast-cum-ambassador since he assumed his post.

APN's daily news review from Israel
Thursday January 9, 2020
Quote of the day:
"For years the Washington-Jerusalem axis has had a tiring debate about the essence of the "credible military
threat" toward Iran, which will deter it from breaking into nukes. Well, the answer was given yesterday: a
credible military threat is the one you feel when it's in your face. The Iranians felt it and decided that,
with all due respect to Shahid Soleimani, the survival of the regime is paramount."
--Yedioth's Middle East analyst, Shimrit Meir, examines the Iranian retaliation to the US assassination of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.*
