Ehud Olmert’s revived peace plan reemerges amidst Israel’s conflict, risking further turmoil without offering a real path to peace.

The murder of six Israeli hostages by Hamas, after months of captivity, has sent shockwaves through Israel. While the world offers words of condemnation, Hamas continues its brutality without fear.
