An Apology to Elor Azaria (Amira Hass, Haaretz+) Elor Azaria is entitled to protest repeatedly that the army discriminated against him, and army officers are entitled to answer him as follows: Next time you execute an Arab, make sure there are no cameras filming you. Next time, act like that anonymous Israeli policeman who shot and killed a young paramedic, Sajed Mizher, at 6:30 A.M. on March 27, while he was on his way to treat a man with a gunshot wound on the main road of the Deheisha refugee camp. Study the difference, Azaria, the army will tell him. And then it will twist the knife it stuck in his back: Every week we kill a few Arabs, make sure there are no photographs and then report that they were terrorists. Our version of events is holy. Two or three troublesome journalists ask questions, and we provide answers, but they don’t get to the point. The articles are published and our hero sons are protected by their sacred anonymity.
Gaza Leader Says 'Finger on the Trigger,' but Hamas and Israel Are Nearing Agreement (Amos Harel, Haaretz+) Yahya Sinwar's talks with other Palestinian factions indicate that the sides are preparing for a long-term cease-fire after the turmoil of Israel's election.
Escape of the elites (Alex Fishman, Yedioth/Ynet) The Gaza strip is facing a future without its strongest members. Under Hamas, life is just too hard. 40% of youth say they would like to leave many of them never to return.
What will Trump do first: Make Mideast peace or strike Iran? (Daniel B. Shapiro, Haaretz+) Fresh off the president's help securing re-election, Trump and Netanyahu appear more closely aligned than ever. But both that alliance, and relations with their Arab allies, is about to face a series of severe reality tests.
Foreign Affairs no more; How Netanyahu stripped the Foreign ministry of its role in the world (Meirav Batito, Yedioth/Ynet) Israel's standing in the world suffering from lack of budget, closed down missions and a general dismissal by the Diplomat-supreme, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Passover 2019: The 10 Plagues of Pharaoh Netanyahu and a Word About His Worst Enemy - Hope (Bradley Burston, Haaretz+) And behold, plagues were abroad in the land, and the people suffered grievously. And these were the plagues of the land of the Pharaoh whose name was Netanyahu.
US designation of Iranian Revolutionary Guards as terror group risks escalation (James Dorsey, Israel Hayom) The Iranian revolt, however, toppled not only an icon of U.S. power in the Middle East and a monarch, but also created an alternative form of Islamic governance that included a degree of popular sovereignty.
Why Hamas is mourning the downfall of Sudan’s dictator (Muhammad Shehada, Haaretz+) Omar al-Bashir’s ousting is good news for Sudan, but very bad news for Hamas. For years, its leaders have mentored, aided and helped arm Hamas. Could Israel end up being the big winner of Sudan's uprising?
Jordan and the Palestinian Authority now at odds over Jerusalem (Pinhas Inbari, Israel Hayom) Just when it seemed Jordan and the PA had created a united front against Saudi Arabia on the Temple Mount issue, they began to clash over who would actually lead the new Waqf administration.
Israel's AG Must Order an Inquiry Into Likud Cameras Placed in Arab Polling Stations (Haaretz Editorial) The significance of cameras being brought into polling stations is that the situation has moved beyond inflammatory words to dangerous and possibly illegal action. The ruling party can’t operate a policing system against minorities in Israel on its own say-so. This is a moment of truth for all of the country’s mechanisms of justice, which must at least examine these complaints.
Arab Israelis want change (Yoseph Haddad, Israel Hayom) In the next election, every party should consider the great potential in the Arab public, where voters are searching for a new political home, yearn for hope and aspire to a new political reality where they can feel like an inseparable part of Israeli society.

13 Lessons From Netanyahu’s Victory for Democrats Hoping to Beat Trump in 2020 (Chemi Shalev, Haaretz+) Israel and the U.S. may be oceans apart, but both are led by wily nationalists-populists who stop at nothing.
A victory for the Netanyahu paradigm (Mati Tuchfeld, Israel Hayom) Israeli voters have embraced Netanyahu's view that the territorial concessions and a peace process are not the key to making Israel stronger. Gantz's loss proves that the Left cannot successfully obscure its views.
Despite Losing the Israeli Election, Lapid Has Advanced Himself in the Future Race to Lead the Country (Aluf Benn, Haaretz+) It’s true that his campaign failed, and his ambitious effort to challenge Netanyahu was scuttled by the prime minister. But the failure is being attributed to Gantz. Lapid stood out as an experienced politician among the army generals of Kahol Lavan’s leadership, and his promise “to embitter Netanyahu’s life from the opposition” shows that he was quickly able to shift direction.
The well-financed war on Birthright Israel (Becca Wertman, Israel Hayom) The intensity of the attacks against this proven program suggests that these groups actually lack a market for their politically charged campaign or support for their own trips.
